ATV Flail Mower

Share

Chapman and Wessex have designed the best all-round flail mowers to suit different mowing requirements and budgets. Built in the UK to the highest standards, these mowers have been successfully tried and tested in arduous conditions and terrains with excellent results.

ATV Flail Mowers

The Chapman ATV flail mower range are heavy-duty machines designed for farmland and woodland mowing. These mowers are favoured by smallholders, equestrian and large estate landowners when the land is not suitable for farm tractors due to wet, boggy ground conditions where the fields could get damaged.
The self-propelled units are built to tackle heavy vegetation and keep weeds such as docks, nettles, thistles, and bracken under control. Powered by a commercial-grade Honda GXV630cc/21HP V-Twin engine, these carburattor mowers are effective on harsh terrains and ideal for cutting down overgrown brambles, heather, and saplings. New, fuel injection engine models with electric start are also available for sale.

Special Features

• The Honda commercial-grade GXV630cc 21HP V-Twin engine, features an oil alert warning system built in the oil pump, to ensure maximum engine protection when mowing on steep, sloping terrain. This engine is supported by Honda's reputation for performance, reliability, and spare parts back-up when required.
• Built in the UK, to the highest standards, using 8mm and 5mm gauge heavy-duty steel.
• The large diameter rotor arm is perfectly balanced to a G6.3 dynamic specification to ensure the smoothest results.
• Unique double helix rotor blades system gives an unrivalled mowing result.
• Blade or flails options: High boron content steel or forged hammer.
• Adjustable rear grass deflector to suit different mowing applications.
• A full-width anti-scalping roller protects the blades from damage.
• The twin belt auto-tensioning system reduces belt wear and slippage when mowing under rough conditions.
• A straight and offset drawbar feature allows for left and right positioning for cutting hedges and get into the corners of the fields.
• Large profile 22x1x8inch tyres for low ground impact protect the field from damage.
• The single cutting height adjustment lever ranges from 25mm up to 225mm.

Options:

• Front Break Bar - The full width round bar with tapered ends fitted to the front of the unit acts as a protection against damage from bricks, boulders and other debris. This bar also helps guide the vegetation into the machine for a more controlled cut.
• Mulching Cutter Bar - This serrated strip of metal fits on the underside of the quad mower and is positioned in such a way that allows the cutting blades to mulch the grass to a fine finish, speeding up the decomposition process.
• Engine Auto Idle - This Honda upgrade has a simple toggle switch that is fitted to the same control box that houses the safety kill button. This control box has an extension cable which mounts onto the rear rack of the vehicle. The switch allows the operator to change the engine speed from full revs to idle and vice versa to avoid getting on and off the quad bike constantly, useful  for fire-break and moorland mowing.
• Twin Wheel Axle - When the ground is very wet and boggy the twin "walking beam" axle is an absolute 'must', specially when mowing reeds.
• Centre Mounted Engine -This mount position balances the mower, ensuring greater stability and therefore safety for the operator, specially when used on steep, sloping terrain.
• ​Forged Hammer Flails or Blades - Upgrading to hammer flails is required for tougher mowing duties. The hammer flails provide a cleaner cut when paddock topping grass, and their weight improves performance when cutting through thick clumps of vegetation.
