SCH Flail Mowers

A powerful and strong, towed, long grass cutter with a working width of 1070mm (42"), the SCH FM42 flail mower is ideal for maintaining rough grassed areas, pasture land, woodland etc. This machine is manufacturered in Britain to extremely high standards and levels of durability.

A one piece roller mounted at the rear of the cutter alleviates scalping. The throttle control and safety engine emergency stop switch can be easily reached from the tractor seat. The tow bar has two operating positions, in the centre of the machine and to one side where it is beneficial not to run on the standing growth before cutting.  The 36 cutting flails are driven by two 'V' belts powered by a 9hp Honda engine with electric start. The tow bar can be offset or can be central to the towing vehicle. 

Transport wheels and adjustable clevis hitch fitted as standard. Screw jacks allow the rear transportation wheels to be effortlessly raised or lowered into the transport position. When in transport position, the mower is raised off the ground for ease of moving to and from storage.

The safety of the operator is very much in mind when designing this type of machine. Guards are provided to stop the operator's feet accidentally being offered to the flails.

Optional 50mm ball hitch and ball hitch connection available. Other engine options are also available upon request.

The FM48 heavy duty flail mower was been introduced to the range of SCH equipment to fulfill the need for a bigger unit for greater horsepower garden tractors (18hp and above). Its improved design means the height adjustable transport wheels are now mounted behind, instead of at the sides, for a close-to-edge cut.

The two main differences between SCH's small unit, the FM42 are firstly that it has a wider cut and secondly it has a centre positioned 13hp Honda engine with electric start. This increase in engine size can more than adequately cope with the increased cutting width.

The transport wheels situated at the rear of the machine are designed to be lifted out of use during operation which reduces the risk of tyre punctures when flailing thorny shrubs.

The 42 cutting flails are free-floating on a chain link to the rotor shaft. The safety of the operator is very much in mind when designing this type of machine. Full skirt guards are provided to stop the operator's feet accidentally being offered to the flail. An emergency stop pull cord is fitted as standard.

The one piece rear roller prevents scalping and the machine is fitted with a 50mm ball hitch as standard.

Suitable for towing behind 18hp+ lawn tractors, ATVs and quads, the tow bar has two operating positions, one in the centre of the machine and the other offset to one side where it is beneficial not to run on the standing growth before cutting.
