Application
The medium duty FM2060 and FM2072 Series Flail
Mowers are designed and built by to provide excellent
cutting performance on gently sloping or slightly
contoured grassy right-of ways, roadsides, ditches,
pastures, nurseries, and smaller fields of light row crop
debris, stalks, and residual agricultural trash. The 60"
and 72" cutting widths and 3/4" to 4" cutting height and
ability to cut weeds and brush up to 1" in diameter makes
these flail mowers well suited for nursery and agricultural
applications where grass, brush, pruning’s, small
saplings, and cotton residue are present. Either model
equipped with fine cut knives will perform extremely well
cutting material up to 1" in diameter or provide a very
respectable quality of cut for grooming yards, municipal
parks, medians, or right of ways.
Both models offer a Cat. 1 three-point hitch for tractors
not to exceed 55 PTO horsepower. The three point
hitches on both models offer centered mounting or offset
capability 6" to the right making them even more
desirable for cutting in and around trees with extremely
low hanging branches. Both models also offer a Cat. 4
and 540rpm shielded driveline. The FM2060 and
FM2072 Flail Mowers, with their horizontal cutting rotor
design, also provide for greatly reduced potential of
launching projectiles out from under the mower making
them an excellent choice for state and municipal mowing
applications.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 16 and
“Features and Benefits” on page 17 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
