Product Details
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
65″
CUTTING WIDTH
59″
WEIGHT
716 lbs. (mower weight only) PTO shaft weighs an additional 39 lbs.
HP REQUIREMENTS
20-45 PTO horse power
CUTTING HEIGHT
3/4″ – 3-3/4″ Adjustable to meet various height requirements
DECK PLATE MATERIAL THICKNESS
4 gauge .250″ Structural Q235 roll formed steel for durability.
SIDE PLATE THICKNESS

BLADE TYPES
Hammer or reversible Y-blades. Our hammer blades are 40cr, alloy structural steel. (American standard, AISI/SAE/ASTM steel no: 5140) and forged to a tapered wedge shape to avoid material buildup on the blades. Each blade weighs 1.85 lb. (cast steel is much more durable than cast iron) competitors use flat face blades. Side by side comparison of WoodMaxx exclusive hammer blade design: The reversible Y-blades are made from .33″ 60si2mn, spring steel, (American standard: A29m) formed, heat treated, and quenched in oil and weigh 1.75 lb. each. Use the hammer blades for clearing saplings (1″ diameter or less), and the Y-blades for grasses.
HINGED REAR GATE
This allows for easy inspection, cleaning, blade changing, and maintenance of your machine. The rear gate can also be left open for easier discharge in heavy conditions, or you can close the gate to greater mulching.
ROTOR TUBE DIAMETER
4.25″- Heavy duty 5/16″ 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 .
HITCH TYPE
Category 1 standard 3 point or category 1 quick hitch – will attach to any cat 1- 3 point hitch and will also work with cat 1 quick hitch (except John Deere I-Match).
DRIVE BELTS
3 Total B-series USA gates “truflex” – we use only USA made gates belts on our flail mowers for long life. (easy to find standard SAE belt size BX39)
REPLACEABLE SKID SHOES
The skid shoes reduce gouging are bolt on so you can adjust or replace them easily when the time comes.
DRIVE LINE / PTO SHAFT
1-3/8″ 6 spline w/slip clutch.
NUMBER OF BLADES
18 Hammer or 36 Y- blades.
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.
BALANCED CAST IRON PULLEYS
The V-belt pulleys are heavy duty cast iron and balance to eliminate vibration, and run smooth.
ROTOR SWING DIAMETER – 13.5″
Large swing so that the blades build required inertia.
ROTOR SHAFT SPEED
2160 RPM
BLADE SPEED
128 Ft. /sec – high tip speed = Efficiency to cleanly cut material
HYDRAULIC SIDE SHIFT OFFSET
Shifted left (36″L/29″R), shifted right (22.5″L/43″R) – This feature allows for variable offset from center to the right of the tractor. This feature is helpful for mowing around fences, buildings, walkways, etc. NOTE: Requires rear hydraulic remotes on tractor. We cannot supply these if your tractor does not already have them, they must be dealer or factory installed. (Hose ends that connect to the tractor are fitted with 1/2-14 NPTF threads, you will have to provide the corresponding fittings to complete the connection to your tractor.)
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 45 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.
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.
FINISH-POWDER COAT
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.

Totally awesome mower
Roy –
62 H really great easy assembly and set up
Roy T Winekoff –
62 H very nice mower easy to set up
GregW –
I am loving the 62H flail mower. The hammer flails are still sharp enough to cut grass and tear through heavy brush. Great purchase. I did just lose the pto slip clutch lock pin. I just ordered several replacements from you but am wondering if you could share the specs on that pin to get a replacement in an emergency. Very hard to find other than from Woodmaxx. Thanks!
Rob D –
Researched quite a few mowers before choosing the FM-62 and am very happy with it. Use it with a Kioti 3510 HST and it works great. The mower is very sturdy and solid. Use it on several acres of nasty bittersweet vines and buckthorn and it chews right through with ease, leaving a nice mulch and few clumps. The access hatch for cleaning the blades/drum/roller was a key feature in choosing the Woodmaxx (along with the thicker steel) and glad I did – makes it much easier on the cleanup. Overall build quality is very good. It arrived encased in a cage of 1.5″ angle iron, with all the joints bolted together, so a pretty straight-forward job to free up the mower from the pallet, with the bonus of a bunch of very usable angle-iron pieces when its done. Mower set-up was not difficult or too time consuming, detailed instruction booklet lays it all out well. Overall, the mower is a beast that will help me finally tame the overgrowth and all the invasive thickets.
Davi Tennant –
Took me a few weeks to get it unpacked and running but it works great clearing the roadways and berry vines that stalled out a brush hog. It plows thru the thick vines and tree saplings. After a few passes learning to control the tractors speed it clears the path completely leaving a nice low cut.
Glad to add it to my attachment group.
KENNY –
Excellent mower, cut my mowing time almost in half. Well built machine.
Travis Leicht –
Got the 62′ Flail mower in about two months ago. I’m running it on a Kubota B26, my tractor is at the bottom of the required power limit. Thing does an incredible job! I’ll be giving it a full review on my blog https://www.onsitetrav.com later this month.
Todd Dutil –
I used my FM-62H for the first time today and I was not disappointed. The machine is being used to mow all of the big areas on a Christmas tree farm. I had been using a finish mower but with this unit I can get in closer to the tree rows doing a much better job in less time. This is my second piece of equipment from Woodmaxx and I am very satisfied with both.
Alan Bacon –
I have just finished assembling the new 62H flail mower. I am very impressed with the thought to detail regarding the maintenance of the mower. Very easy to remove the PTO clutch guard for seasonal maintenance. The only thing I would mention as a caution to those of us who use a Cat 1 quick hitch is that the vertical measurement is 24″ cat 2 not the 18″ Cat 1. You will either need the floating top link or have the tower cut and top attachment point lowered inches.
Over all I am very impressed with this machine.
R Lawrence –
It has been the early ’80s since I have used a flail mower (Mott) and with that I knew that this was a good route to go by adding a flail to my business. Without question, the quality of cut after mowing down 6′ tall weeds will in itself get me more work.
The Kubota B26TLB has no issue running the FM62H, though, if your into really tall, thick, wet grasses you will need more HP (30 PTO HP plus) to keep up efficiencies.
Shipping and Delivery to this part of the world was no hassle and on schedule.
Also bought the RT58 and TM86H so I’m quite happy with Woodmaxx offerings.

My mower arrived about a month ago. I just hooked it up last night. It cut very well. The set up took longer than I expected., but was still doable. So far, I like your product.
Dominic K –
Over the years, I’ve used many different rotary mowers on several different tractors. Late last Fall, I realized I would be needing a new mower. I placed a deposit sometime in March to hold my spot in line due to the high demand for these mowers. The unit was finally delivered to me in early May. It was crated extremely well and on delivery it’s easy to see it’s a well built piece of equipment. I’ve now ran the unit for 8 hours and have no complaints. It’s everything they profess it to be. Cleaner cut than any rotary out there, very rugged and well built. The durability of the unit remains to be seen down the road, but I have no reason to expect any issues. Overall extremely satisfied with the purchase so far. I contacted Woodmaxx customer service on four occasions using three different methods, phone, email and live support. Each time they were very accommodating, answered all my questions and were pleasant to communicate with.
Bruce Tinloy –
My FM62H has arrived! First impression was very good. Heavy duty materials and construction that looks like it is built to last. Mounting it up to the tractor was easy after fabricating the hydraulic lines to fit my couplers and adjusting the PTO shaft to the proper lenght. Just missed our mowing season but a quick test pass down our road showed excellent results. So far so good. More to follow when I get more hours on the machine.
Paul –
Got it last week. Was easy to put together and get going. I am using the duck feet cutters for heavy undergrowth and small saplings. So far goes through everything.
Bruce Wildes –
The construction quality and design of this machine appear to be equal to or better than competitive brands and OEM attachments, at a very competitive pricing. You may have to wait for the machine to arrive on a shipping container, but in my case, it was worth the wait…I think! 🙂
E C –
Ordered late August. Will arrive next week Jan. Although it is the wrong season to mow, I can hardly wait to get my new mower. Once I get it, I will do a complete review as best I can in the snow/ice. Stay tuned…..
(WoodMaxx Response) Flail mowers are a seasonal item that sold out quickly in 2017, the delivery delay is because we shift our manufacturing focus to other seasonal items throughout the year. We look forward to your continued review after you have used the mower for a period of time.
