Flail Cutter Attachment

Clear brush and small trees while distributing cut materials evenly with the flail cutter attachment. With a cutting width of 79 inches, the fail cutter delivers excellent cutting and mulching action for materials up to three inches in diameter. The flotation linkage and compact deck length allow the flail cutter to float over ground contours, maintaining surface contact for optimal cutting performance. And the thick steel deck design protects the attachment and provides maximum strength for tough clearing jobs.

This efficient attachment is designed to excel in applications such as agriculture, landscaping, utility, and rental. Other applications include maintenance around personal and lakefront property, construction sites, power lines, road right-of-ways, trails, and other areas needing brush or small tree removal. Cut, mulch, and spread a fine finish with the flail cutter attachment.

How Does It Work?

Rather than rotate, the hammers cut vertically so cut materials are thrown down on the ground rather than out to the side. This allows cut materials to be spread evenly for a finer finish. The flail cutter attachment can also be operated while traveling in either forward or reverse.

Flail Cutter Features:

Adjustable Rear Hatch: Varies the size of discharge material; ranging from small (for mulching applications), to coarse (for high-performance cutting).
Automatic Blade Shut�Off Device: When the flail cutter is raised ten inches off the ground, this device stops flail rotation preventing debris from being thrown towards the operator.
Floating Linkage (standard): Along with the compact deck length, the flotation linkage allows the flail cutter to float over ground contours, maintaining surface contact for optimal cutting performance.
Full-Width Tapered Rear Roller: Provides greater turning ability during operation, making it easier to maneuver the flail cutter in tight areas.
Safety Compliance: Complies with the SAE J1001 standard for industrial flail mowers.
Thick Steel Deck: Designed with .25-inch steel, the deck is designed for maximum strength and durability.
Three Cutting Levels: Allows several options of cutting heights for a variety of land and brush types. (See Operating Tips below for optimal position placement.)
Variable Displacement Motor: Allows the flail cutter to be "tuned in" to the machine, depending on its hydraulic capacity. A control on the attachment, which connects to the motor, adjusts the hydraulic flow. This makes it possible to use the flail cutter with an assortment of carriers, a feature critical to the rental market.

Operating Tips:

For safe operation, the rear roller must be on the ground to operate the cutter.
The "fully closed" position of the adjustable rear hatch is generally used for mulching prunings, and whenever fine, homogeneous mulch is desired.
The "closed" position is most efficient for cutting short vegetation, since the material being mulched will circulate between the rotor and roller.
The "fully open" position is used for cutting tall vegetation. When the �fully open� position is engaged, cut material will exit the flail cutter as fast as possible over the roller.
