Sundown Offset Flail Mower | Models FRF125 To FRF165 | Cutting Width 47" To 63" | 20 To 50 HP | For Tractor
DESCRIPTION
Built for demanding roadside, ditch, and embankment work, the Sundown Offset Flail Mower delivers unmatched versatility for compact and utility tractors. Designed for rear and lateral offset operation, this heavy-duty mower tilts 65° downward and 90° upward for vertical transport, making it ideal for highway shoulders, slopes, drainage ditches, and fence lines.
Powered by a Series 4 PTO shaft and equipped with a hammer-style rotor, it easily cuts thick grass and small branches while leaving a clean, professional finish. The hydraulic side shift and tilt system allows precise control from the tractor seat, while side skids and an adjustable rear roller maintain consistent cutting height on uneven terrain. Built exclusively with hammers for durability, the Sundown Offset Flail Mower is the perfect solution for operators who demand precision, safety, and productivity in challenging mowing environments.
Key Features
- Hydraulic side shift system delivers smooth lateral movement and angle control, allowing precise mowing along ditches, embankments, and tight roadside areas
- Dual-direction tilt capability allows 65-degree downward cutting and 90-degree vertical positioning for safe transport and extreme slope access
- Heavy-duty hammer rotor efficiently shreds grass, weeds, and small branches while reducing debris throw for safer roadside operation
- Series 4 PTO driveline ensures reliable power transfer from tractors running 20 to 50 horsepower under continuous working conditions
- Rear roller height adjustment maintains consistent cutting height while improving ground following on uneven or sloped terrain
- Side skid protection system shields mower housing from ground impact and extends machine life in rough roadside environments
- Offset mowing design improves visibility and reach when cutting under guardrails, fences, and hard-to-access areas
- Category I three-point hitch allows fast attachment to compact and utility tractors without additional adapters
- Vertical transport position reduces overall width and improves safety during road travel and equipment storage
- Hammer-only configuration provides superior durability and performance when mulching thicker vegetation and brush
- Balanced rotor assembly minimizes vibration, improving operator comfort and extending bearing and driveline life
- Compact machine footprint makes the mower easy to maneuver while still covering wide cutting paths efficiently
- Industrial steel housing withstands continuous commercial use in highway, municipal, and property maintenance jobs
- Requires dual hydraulic remotes for independent control of tilt and side shift functions directly from the tractor
- Multi-model width options allow operators to choose the ideal cutting width for tractor size and job requirements
