Flail Mower

Middle duty flail mower with 1,2kg flail hammers for small and medium sized tractors from 30 hp to 80 hp with CAT I / II 3-point hitch - 50cm hydraulic side shift system

Application

The Twin-industry MFZpro flail mower series offers you professional technology for small and medium-sized tractors and is equipped with reinforced free-wheel angle gears from the Italian manufacturer Comer. In addition, the MFZpro series is equipped with hydraulics that allow the mower to be moved 52 cm to the right in the direction of travel. This makes it possible to work further to the right of the tractor than with a fixed flail mower. The hydraulics make it easy to mow around obstacles such as trees, fence posts or traffic signs without having to use the tractor's steering. With a working width of up to 220 cm, the solid MFZpro mowers can be optimally adapted to the power and width of your tractor and the area to be cultivated.
This makes Bowell MFZpro mulchers particularly suitable for fruit and wine growing or in nurseries, where prunings lie on the ground and need to be mulched. Forest glades with a lot of dead wood in the grass can also be worked on excellently. MFZpro flail mower series offers you professional technology for small and medium-sized tractors and is equipped with reinforced free-wheel angle gears from the Italian manufacturer Comer.

Twin-industry MFZpro flail mowers are equipped with Twin-industry Power Efficiency technology ex works. If your tractor supports a PTO speed of 1000 rpm in addition to the normal 540 rpm, you can also use the Twin-industry MFZpro mulchers at this increased speed. Simply replace the upper pulley with the lower pulley of the belt drive and you can achieve the same work performance much more efficiently and with lower fuel consumption. Save fuel with the new Twin-industry Power Efficiency technology, at no extra cost, right from the very first metre.

MFZpro mowers can be used effectively on medium-sized areas with grass heights of up to 100 cm that only need to be mowed two or three times a year.

Woody plant parts up to 50 mm in diameter, twigs, small branches and even small bushes are reliably shredded by the MFZpro mower thanks to its special serrated hammer flails weighing approx. 1.2 kg. MFZpro mowers are true all-round flail mowers for tractors up to 80 hp, as they are suitable for both light tasks such as regular mowing of horse pastures and for mowing significantly thicker vegetation, yet are still extremely attractively priced flail mowers.

Technology

high-performance toothed flails:Depending on the working width, MFZpro flail mowers are equipped with 10 to 18 of the heavy, hardened, approx. 1.2 kg new Bowell high-performance toothed flails, which ensure optimum mowing results even with stubborn undergrowth, bushes and wood residues up to 50 mm in diameter. The newly developed, replaceable counter blades inside the flail mowers ensure optimum results even with stubborn undergrowth and bushes.

The heavy, ball-bearing, self-cleaning trailing roller is used to set the cutting height between 20 and 75 mm. The height-adjustable side skids on the flail mower prevent the mower from cutting into the ground when encountering bumps. A support at the front ensures stability when storing the equipment.

The scope of delivery includes a CE-approved drive shaft with a length between 80 cm and approx. 110 cm, which can be shortened for your application if necessary.

reinforced Comer freewheel gear box:The reinforced Comer freewheel gear box on the mower ensures that the heavy flail shaft can continue to run after the PTO drive is switched off without the movement being transferred to the tractor. The metal stone guard slats attached to the front of the flail mower prevent stones and other foreign objects from flying around.

SKF ball bearings with performance rotor shaft 

Underneath the solid 5 mm to 8 mm thick housing of the MFZpro mowers is a laser-balanced rotor shaft with 10 to 18 hardened high-performance flails, each weighing approx. 1.2 kg. The flails have bevelled surfaces on the inside, to which deposits can hardly adhere. A further improved, spiral arrangement of the flails on the rotor shaft guarantees maximum performance with minimum effort for the tractor. The MFZpro series mulchers are equipped with reinforced rotor shafts with a diameter of 127 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm. The larger diameter also increases the flail speed from 41 m/sec to 46.5 m/sec, thereby improving performance.


The new Twin-industry MFZpro mowers are equipped with SKF ball bearings, which are protected from external influences in solid, CNC-milled bearing seats. The stainless steel grease nipples are easily accessible on the outside of the mulcher housing and protected from contamination and damage by additional metal rings.

The rotor shaft of the mowers rotates, driven by the tractor's PTO shaft at up to 2200 rpm, and shreds the clippings to a minimum so that they can rot quickly. The heavy, ball-bearing trailing roller guarantees smooth running.

At Twinn-industry Tractor, we are confident that you will not find another medium-duty tractor mulcher with a better price-performance ratio. Please compare the details of our product with other mowers on the market, as we are confident that you will agree with us.

How does the MFZpro flail mower position behind your tractor  ?

The reference point is always the centre of your tractor, i.e. where the PTO output is.

Let's assume that your tractor is 90 cm wide from its centre to the outer edge of the right tyre (i.e. 180 cm total width), then the mulcher should extend more than 90 cm to the right of the tractor's centre. This allows the mulcher to mow to the right of the right rear wheel. This would allow you to keep some distance between the tractor and a fence, bush, tree or shed, for example, and still mow flush.

The three-point mounting can be moved hydraulically on the mower housing. The respective end points are marked here with A1, B1, etc. and A2, B2, etc.

If, in the example chosen here, the mower is to protrude more than 90 cm from the centre of the tractor to the right, the MFZpro-155 would be sufficient (A2 = 1166 mm), but with the MFZpro-175 you could already reach over 45 cm (A2 = 1366 mm). These values may not be sufficient for you, as you are mowing under a low tree and do not want to break its branches. If your tractor has enough power, you could choose the MFZpro-200 (A2 = 1616 mm), which can mow more than 70 cm to the right of your tractor's rear wheel.
In addition, the MFZpro-220 is also available, but its power requirements probably require a wider tractor.
