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.

BLADE TYPE 
Optional Duck Foot (Hammer) or reversible double Y-Blades. WoodMaxx duck foot 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 duck-foot blades for clearing saplings (1″ diameter or less), and the Y-blades for grasses.
NUMBER OF BLADES 
18 Duck foot (Hammer) blades 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.
ROTOR TUBE DIAMETER – 5″ 
5″- Heavy duty 3/8″ wall tubing for long life.
BALANCED ROTOR TUBE
The rotor tube is balanced 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. Not Quick Hitch Compatible.
HYDRAULIC SIDE-SHIFT OFFSET
Shifted left (39.5″L/57″R), shifted right (26″L/71″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 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 belt size 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.
DRIVE-LINE / PTO SHAFT
1-3/8″ 6 spline w/slip clutch (included).
GREASEABLE SHIELDED BEARINGS
Accessible greasable bearings for easy maintenance.
REAR HEIGHT ADJUSTING ROLLER DIAMETER
6.5″ 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.
REMOVABLE RAKES
The FM-96H 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.
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.
2 YEAR PARTS WARRANTY
A robust machine with an equally robust warranty.

I was impressed by how heavy this mower is built. My pasture looks better than it ever did in the past. The grass that the cows don’t eat is nicely mulched.
Sid Blackman –
Great machine. Quiet, efficient, heavy. I like the hydraulic side shift. Good price, good buying experience.
Daniel Thomas –

Bradley –
Great mower, well built with good solid construction. Leaves a clean cut. I use it all the time. Recommend this mower to everyone.
joe bryant –
The mower arrived at the freight company packed well and in great condition. It is constructed just as advertised built like a tank! After a couple hours of make ready I took it to the field and it performed great. I have cut over 12 acres of really tough pasture and It is a pleasure to have behind the tractor. we have another 60 lots to cut and I cant wait for the rain to stop and get back to mowing.
Thomas Mueller –
I really like the flail mower. It does a much better job than my brush mower in tall grass and is very quiet. The side shift is very handy along the fence line. I would recommend this product to a friend. The only thing that would be an improvement for me is a hydraulic height adjustment that I could change on the fly.
S Wonnell –
It operates relatively quietly, with no vibration and cuts very well.

This mower is awesome does not matter if the grass 3 inch or 3 ft tall . I have mowed about 40 acres of horse pastures with it and love it
