Loftness redesigned its flail mower attachment for skid-steers and compact track loaders.
Designed to cut grass, weeds and brush up to 0.75 inch in diameter, it offers new knife options and an available floating hitch, plus other improvements for greater performance and durability.
The flail mower attachment can be equipped with either duckfoot or flail knives to accommodate different applications. Duckfoot knives produce a finer cut in easier cutting conditions, whereas flail knives are designed for use in tougher vegetation. Operators can quickly switch from one style to another without the use of tools.
Also new to the flail mower is a floating hitch, which includes front caster gauge wheels that follow the ground contour to produce an even cut, while minimizing the risk of gouging the surface. The floating hitch also provides ease of use, since operators can achieve excellent cutting results without worry of contacting the ground.
The flail mower offers a cutting height from 1 to 7 inches. It can be changed by simply adjusting the rear roller and front caster wheels, if equipped with a floating hitch.
Engineered for long-lasting performance in tough conditions, the flail mower is made in the U.S. using premium strength steel. It also features extra-large bearings for the rotor and rear roller to help ensure maximum reliability. Other standard features include a high-pressure gear-type motor, a three-groove banded belt drive, a full-width roller scraper and antiwrap bearing protection.
The flail mower is compatible with hydraulic systems ranging from 15 to 43.9 GPM at 4,200 PSI with a case drain or 15 to 32.9 GPM at 3,500 PSI without a case drain.
