Flail mower with double-sided hydraulic shift AG 140 4FARMER

The choice of agricultural machinery that helps in the maintenance of green areas is growing. Currently, we can choose how we want to mow meadows, wastelands, green areas, and what we want to do with the mowed grass.

Flail mowers have become a very interesting proposition for many of our customers. Some call them mowers for "special tasks", because they can also mow tall grass without any problems. As the name suggests, flail mowers are mowers in which the mowing function is performed by flails placed on the cutting shaft. The cutting shaft rotates at the appropriate speed around its axis, shearing what is above the set height.

The double-sided flail mower AG 140, commonly known as a " mulcher ", is a variant of a heavy double-sided mower, which is suitable for mowing green areas in cities or wastelands, meadows and pastures. It is definitely a product that will also fulfill its task in municipal companies when taking care of green areas. The advantage is the possibility of attaching both to the front and to the rear of the tractor.

On which areas will this mower be used in 100%?

• in orchards and plant nurseries,

• in neglected areas where there may be stones, branches (max. diameter 80 mm) or other obstacles

If you own a flail mower, it is very important to regularly check the sharpness of the cutting mechanism. This ensures that mowing will be efficient and effective.

The flail mower not only cuts the grass, but also mulches it. What is it all about?

This is a technique of mowing grass/other organic materials and mulching the cut material so that it is a natural fertilizer that fertilizes the soil. The advantage of mulching is also preventing soil erosion, slowing down the growth of weeds and, importantly, depriving us of unwanted mowed grass, which is often an additional problem.

We can mulch not only grass, but also crop residues, thanks to which we reduce the amount of post-harvest residues, providing the soil with natural fertilizer and protecting it from pests inhabiting, for example, in the stems of the above-ground parts of plants.

The AG 140 flail mower (mulcher) has a cutting width of 138 cm, which is an intermediate size among the four available widths. The mower can be mounted both at the front and at the back of the tractor, it also has a hydraulic shift. The drive from the tractor's PTO shaft is 540 rpm.

When choosing a flail mower, it is very important to match the mower to the power and weight of our tractor. The flail mower (mulcher) AG 140 requires a minimum of 60 hp with a large tractor weight.
