NSK BRAND SHAFT BEARINGS
NSK
is a leading bearing and motion control manufacturing company founded in Tokyo,
Japan in 1916. Today NSK has several plants around the world including England,
Germany, USA and Switzerland and by far one the best quality bearings available
on the market today. Although these bearings are very costly, we feel that in
an application with high load and dynamic forces such as a flail mower that
such high quality bearings are required. These bearings are noticeably
smoother, quieter, and cooler running than any competitor and far superior to
any no-name brand. Some inferior bearings contain plastic interior ball cages
that are susceptible to breakage from shock loads. Poor material and tolerances
generate excessive heat that translates into premature bearing failure and even
belt wear as the heat travel to the pulleys and the belts. All bearings are not
created equal, and this is a feature that should not be overlooked when
shopping for a flail mower.
OVERALL WIDTH
96.5"
CUTTING WIDTH
87"
WEIGHT
1285 lbs. (mower weight only) PTO shaft weighs an additional 39 lbs.
HP REQUIREMENTS
50-90 HP
CUTTING HEIGHT
3/4" - 4" Adjustable to meet various height requirements
DECK PLATE MATERIAL THICKNESS
1/4" Q235 roll formed steel for
durability.
SIDE PLATE THICKNESS
3/8" Structural Q235 roll formed steel for durability.
BLADE TYPE
Optional hammer or reversible double Y- blades. WoodMaxx hammer blades are made from 40cr, alloy structural steel. (American standard, AISI/SAE/ASTM steel no: 5140) andforged to a tapered wedge shape to avoid material buildup on the blades. Each blade weighs 2.5 lbs. (cast steel is much more durable than cast iron) competitors use flat face blades. The reversible double Y-blades are made from .24" 60si2mn, spring steel, (American standard: A29m) formed, heat treated, and quenched in oil and weigh 2 lbs. each. Use the hammer blades for clearing saplings (1" diameter or less), and the Y blades for grasses.
NUMBER OF BLADES
18 hammer foot blades or 18 double Y-blades (36 Y-blades total)
PRECISION BLADE OVERLAP
The blades are staggered
precisely with no gap in the mowing area. Blade overlap is important to achieve
an even cutting result.
ROTOR ROTATION- REVERSE
The rotor spins in the opposite
direction as the wheels of the tractor when traveling forward. This allows the
blades to shear the material as it is folded forward by the mowers. The
material is then thrown up and over the rotor.
ROTOR TUBE DIAMETER - 5"
5"- Heavy duty 3/8" wall tubing for long life.
BALANCED ROTOR TUBE
The rotor tube is balance to reduce
vibration and ensures that the mower runs smooth, and reduces wear on the
bearings.
BALANCED CAST IRON PULLEYS
The v-belt pulleys are heavy
duty cast iron and balance to eliminate vibration, and run smooth.
ROTOR SWING DIAMETER - 15"
Large swing so that the blades build required inertia.
ROTOR SHAFT SPEED
2125 RPM
BLADE SPEED - 138 FT. /SEC
High speed = efficiency to
cleanly cut material
HITCH TYPE
Category 2 only.
OFFSET FROM PTO CENTER
This feature allows for offset
from center to the right of the tractor. This feature is helpful for mowing
around fences, buildings; walkways etc. From the center of the PTO the mower
extends 65" to the right and 31" to the left.
DRIVE BELTS
Four (4) Total B-series USA gates
"truflex" - we use only USA made gates belts on our flail mowers for long life. (Easy to find SAE standard size belts BX49)
DRIVE BELT TENSIONER
Solid state automatic - this
feature automatically adjust the belt tension so you don't have to worry about
slippage or overworking the belts. This feature greatly increases the belt
life.
PTO SPEED
540 ONLY
GEARBOX RATING
Up to 90 hp. Heavy duty proven oil bath gearbox for long life.
GEARBOX TYPE
Cast iron 540 RPM with internal
over-running clutch - when the PTO shaft is disengaged the built in over
running clutch allows the PTO shaft to stop turning while the gearbox and rotor
shaft slow down gradually. This is an important feature, without it, the
gearbox will slam to a halt when the PTO is disengaged, causing stress to the
gearbox and your tractor. This feature should not be overlooked when shopping
for a mower.
REPLACEABLE SKID SHOES
The skid shoes reduce gouging
are bolt on so you can adjust or replace them easily when the time comes. REMOVABLE RAKES The FM-96 is equipped with removable rakes. The purpose of these rakes is to keep the cut material inside the mower housing until it reduces enough to pass through the rakes. This provides for smaller discharged material. Additionally, the rakes can be adjusted up or down so that the tip of the rakes slightly "rake" material from the ground further mulching it. For quick mowing of heavy vegetation simply remove the rakes completely.
DRIVE-LINE / PTO SHAFT
1-3/8" 6 spline w/slip clutch.
GREASEABLE SHIELDED BEARINGS
Accessible greasable bearings
for easy maintenance.
REAR HEIGHT ADJUSTING ROLLER DIAMETER
5.25" With tapered ends - this
roller contacts the ground to ensure even cutting height. The ends of this
roller are rounded to eliminate gouging when turning corners. A scraper bar
ensures that mud and debris buildup is cleaned off as you go.
POWDER COAT FINISH
The rust resistant baked on
powder coat finish is more durable than conventional paint to keep your machine
looking good for years.
WARRANTY - 2 YEARS
A robust machine with an equally
robust warranty.
SERVICE
At WoodMaxx our service department is staffed with professional
certified technicians that inspect each machine before it is shipped. This
ensures that you get a trouble free machine from the get go. When you need
technical help or parts, our courteous staff can help you get what you need
from our fully stocked warehouse.
