This unique design transfers cutting power more efficiently from the engine to the cutting heads, giving a cleaner cut and better performance in tough situations. Furthermore the rotor incorporates double row spherical roller bearings for ultimate reliability.

CFM180 Product Image

Using a CFM150 or CFM180 compact tractor flail mower for landscaping and grounds maintenance is a great way to mow and mulch vegetation. The heavy duty hammer flails ensure a consistent and even cut, and the deck design allows the cut material to flow through the machine efficiently, ensuring a high level of mulching and consequently the cut material disappears faster.

Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance

Managing large patches of rough vegetation or tackling weeds with a CFM compact flail mower will ensure better and more productive grass growth, improving your profitability. With a heavy duty British Made machine, combined with low horsepower requirement, the CFM Series are perfect for those smaller or harder to access jobs.

Agriculture & Farming

The CFM Series are perfect for maintaining paddocks and fields in peak condition, ensuring you are maximising your grass growth and field health. With an adjustable height rear roller our CFM flail mowers can cut to your desired height as different areas may require varying heights of grass for equestrian training, competitions or just general field maintenance.

Equestrian Facilities

It’s never been easier to clear land and restore land with our CFM range of compact tractor flail mowers, promoting growth of productive grass whilst controlling invasive plants and weeds.

Utilising mulching to recycle nutrients into the soil will ensure you’re significantly reducing the cost associated with chemical fertilisers too. Mulching will breakdown vegetation which is a natural fertiliser, promoting healthy soil and plants along with improving biodiversity, sustainable land management and ecological balance.
