FM120 Flail Mower 

Powered by a 21hp Honda GX630 V-Twin Engine

 The FM120 ATV Flail Mower, part of the FM Series Flail Mowers range by Chapman Machinery Ltd are designed from the outset to tackle tough mowing tasks including mowing on rough, wet & boggy ground where a heavier mounted unit could become stuck. Built to be exceptionally tough, yet have a low ground pressure for easy towing, the FM Series Flail Mower can go where other machines cannot.

The compact design of the FM120 self-powered flail topper keeps the mass low to the ground for stability, and allows cutting easily beneath trees and overhanging branches. We use industry-leading 21hp Honda GX630 V-Twin Engines, which offer unparalleled power and performance. All machines are fitted with a heavy duty rear roller to prevent scalping.

The FM120 ATV Flail, like all the mowers in the FM Series Flail Mower range are fitted as standard with a centrifugal clutch, allowing for safe & efficient operation from the towing machine. The centrifugal clutch gives automatic drive engagement and disengagement, and combined with the automatic tensioning assembly reduces maintenance by compensating for belt wear and belt loading. Heavy-duty ‘bx’ type drive belts last longer and are more efficient than smaller units used on competing machines.

Options:

Cutter Bar – Fixed cutter bar within the deck to increase mulching and reduce chop size, for faster cut material de-composition.

Twin Bogie Axle – Replaces standard axle assembly with rocking beam axle with two wheels (per side), for smoother travel over rough terrain. Can only be used with the wheels to the side, cannot be used with wheels trailing.

Engine Centre Mount – Engine is centrally mounted on the deck to provide 50/50 weight distribution for improved safety on steep terrain.

Forged Hammer Flails – Fitted in place of standard steel blades, the forged hammer flails are considerably heavier, harder and give a better finish when cutting tough material eg. reeds, bracken. Higher rotational mass improves mower performance when encountering heavy clumps of material.

Auto Idle – Standard cable operated throttle is replaced with electronic actuator and switch, which enables change from idle to full engine RPM at the flick of a switch. Ideal for cutting alternate areas as required (eg. cutting fire-breaks on moorland)
