3′ Flail Mower – 3-Point Hitch Cat 1 – With PTO Shaft

Description

The 3′ Flail Mower – 3-Point Hitch PTO is designed to deliver versatile cutting performance with compact and sub-compact tractors. Suitable for tractors in the 16–20 HP range (up to 30 HP), it provides an effective solution for maintaining grass, weeds, and light brush while producing a clean, evenly mulched finish.

This flail mower mounts to a standard Category 1 three-point hitch and operates from a 540 RPM PTO. Power is transferred through a heavy-duty belt drive to a balanced rotor fitted with 30 reversible “Y” blades, providing precise blade overlap for consistent cutting across the full 3 ft (950 mm) working width. The mower includes a PTO shaft, making it ready for installation and use.

Flail mowers are often considered the best of both worlds between a finishing mower and a rotary cutter. They produce a smoother, more controlled cut than a rotary cutter while offering greater cutting durability and versatility than a standard finishing mower. This makes them well suited for both maintained grass and tougher vegetation, with reduced debris throw.

Built for durability and smooth operation, this mower features balanced cast iron pulleys, a fully balanced rotor and shaft, and an offset PTO mount for improved driveline alignment. Cutting height is adjustable from 0.04–0.6 in (1–15 mm) using both the rear roller and adjustable skids. A baked-on powder coat finish provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and UV exposure.
