Loftness has unveiled a redesign of its flail mower attachment for skid steers and compact track loaders.
Designed to cut grass, weeds and brush up to 2-cm in diameter, it offers new knife options and an available floating hitch.
The flail mower attachment can be equipped with either duckfoot or flail knives to accommodate different applications. Duckfoot knives produce a finer cut in easier cutting conditions, where flail knives are designed for use in tougher vegetation. Operators can switch from one style to another without the use of tools.
Loftness has also added a new floating hitch to the attachment. This option includes front caster gauge wheels that follow the ground contour to produce an even cut, while minimizing the risk of gouging the surface. Another benefit of the floating hitch is ease of use, since operators can achieve the desired cutting height without worry of contacting the ground.
The flail mower offers a cutting height from 2.5 cm to 18 cm. It can be changed by simply adjusting the rear roller and front caster wheels, if equipped with a floating hitch.

It also features extra-large bearings for the rotor and rear roller to help ensure maximum reliability.
Other standard features include a high-pressure gear-type motor, a three-groove banded belt drive, a full-width roller scraper and anti-wrap bearing protection.
The flail mower is compatible with hydraulic systems ranging from 56 to 166 litres per minute at 4,200 psi with a case drain or 56 to 124 litres per minute at 3,500 psi without a case drain.
