Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Mower has been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The AFM4522 All-Flex Mower is designed and built by
Land Pride to provide excellent cutting quality and
performance on lush type turf grasses that are located on
expansive and well manicured areas such as sports
fields, theme parks, fairways, turf farms, and large
estates.
The AFM4522 requires attachment to a 65-100 hp turf
tractor drawbar with 540 rpm PTO speed. It can be
ordered with slip-clutch or conventional wing driveline
configurations.
The mower offers independent deck flotation and zero
turning radius due to the sleek frame design. When you
need to transport one of these mowers from one mowing
site to another on a public street or right-of-way the
hydraulic wing cylinders will easily lift up the wing decks
for a 9’-6" transport width. The contour following
capability, highly productive 22’ cutting width, and rear
discharge design of the floating cutting decks will greatly
reduce wide-area cutting times and still deliver finely
groomed surfaces at mowing speeds from 2-6 mph.
See “Section 6: Specifications and Capacities” and
Section 7: Features and Benefits” for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
