3 - OPERATION
The Flex Wing grooming mower represents the most advanced proposal for reducing
labor cost without sacrificing quality of cut. The high cutting speed of 8-10 mph along
with the wide working widths of up to 17’, allows for a reduction in man-hours and lower
fuel cost for the maintenance of large grass areas such as sport fields, parks, golf
courses and sod farms.
The Flex Wing grooming mower consists of a frame-carrier, mechanically connecting a
trio of rear discharge grooming mowers. The Flex can be used on tractors with
horsepower ranging from 25 to 80. The tractor PTO is connected, through a wide angle
driveline, to a 4 way splitter gearbox. The side and rear output shafts transfer power to
the individual speed multiplier gearboxes on each mower.
The 12’ model consists of two 4’ wing units and one 5’ rear unit, the 15’ model consists
of two 5’ wing units and one 6’ rear unit and the 17’ model uses three 6’ decks.
Each individual mower works completely independent from the others. They are
connected to the frame by floating arms. All mowers have four wheels allowing free
floating over uneven terrain. Even over rolling ground, the cut is accurate and uniform.
After mowing, during transport and for storage or maintenance, all three mowers can be
raised up hydraulically to a vertical position. During transport or maintenance
operations, it is imperative to be sure the wing mowers are locked in place with the
automatic locking system. To transport over extended distances, the wings should be
locked in their 90 degree vertical position with the transport locks and the metal
transport braces added to the two wing units for added safety. The two transport wheels
allow the Flex Wing mower, in its closed and locked position, to be transported safely on
lawns or private roads. The tires are not suitable for extended road travel.
The decks can be raised for easy cleaning and quick blade changes. Top grease fittings
make the greasing of hubs and spindles simple and quick.
