Loftness Redesigns Flail Mower Attachment for Skid Steers

Loftness has  introduced a newly redesigned flail mower attachment for skid steers and compact track loaders. Designed to cut grass, weeds, and brush up to ¾ inches in diameter, it offers new knife options and an available floating hitch, plus other improvements.

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; flail knives are designed for use in tougher vegetation. Operators can quickly switch from one style to another without the use of tools.

Also new to the flail mower is a floating hitch. This option includes front caster gauge wheels that follow the ground contour to produce an even cut, yet minimizes the risk of gouging the surface. Another benefit of the floating hitch is ease of use, since operators can achieve excellent cutting results without worry of contacting the ground.

The made-in-the-USA flail mower offers a cutting height from 1–7 inches. It can be changed by 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 ensure 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 15–43.9 GPM at 4,200 PSI with a case drain, or 15–32.9 GPM at 3,500 PSI without a case drain.
