New Self-Levelling Flail Mowers for Bobcat Excavators

Bobcat has extended the company’s landscaping portfolio with the launch of a new range of self-levelling flail mower attachments for the company’s market-leading mini-excavators.

The first two models – the SL FM 60 and SL FM 85 - in the new flail mower range are compatible with the Bobcat E17 to E20 1.7-2.0 tonne and E26 to E35z 2.6-3.5 tonne mini-excavators, respectively. 

The new flail mowers are part of well over 100 attachment families for Bobcat’s compact loaders, mini-excavators and telehandlers, the broadest portfolio on the market, with new attachment products being continuously developed to meet customer needs.   

The SL FM 60 has a cutting width of 600 mm and a hydraulic flow of 16-38 l/min, whilst the SL FM 85 flail mower has a cutting width of 850 mm and a hydraulic flow of 36-70 l/min. Both are optimised for use on Bobcat mini-excavators, with no external drain lines needed, so they can be easily interchanged between different machines with the Direct To Tank function fitted. 

A unique feature on the new flail mowers for the Europe, Middle East and Africa market is a drum braking circuit that stops the attachment within 12 seconds. For extra safety, the flail mowers are also equipped with resistant guards to divert debris. 

The new attachments are particularly suited for use in the landscaping, land clearing, municipal, parks, utilities, recreational, construction and rental industries.

The new flail mowers can be used while driving, the self-levelling feature guaranteeing simplicity of operation and maximum productivity. They are easy to use, with no additional training needed for the operators, a key factor for rental companies. The flail mowers form part of a full selection of attachments from Bobcat aimed at the rental industry.
