Bobcat says tough land-clearing projects aren’t so tough with the company’s new 40-inch FMR flail mower attachment. It’s available for use with Bobcat E63, E80 and E85 excavators.
The flail mower attachment is designed for mowing and land-clearing applications such as cleaning ditches, hillsides, utility rights-of-way and riverbanks, as well as maintenance for parks and recreational trails.
The direct-drive motor provides the right balance between torque and rpm, Bobcat says, enabling the attachment to handle “aggressive cutting applications.”
The manufacturer’s X-Change attachment mounting system makes it easy to connect the 40-inch FMR flail mower to the E63, the company says, while a pin-on mounting system or optional pin-grabber quick coupler option is available for connecting the attachment to the E80 and E85 excavators.
Bobcat says the flail mower has multiple safety features, such as a side safety chain within the housing unit to help deflect and contain debris that could be thrown during operation. In addition, a rotor brake stops the flail mower from full speed in seven seconds or less when the flail mower hydraulics are deactivated.
