Flail Mower Features

Gearbox

All John Deere flail mowers feature this rugged gearbox. It has a continuous rugged gearbox. It has a continuous 65-hp rating and a 90-hp intermittent rating. Plus, it comes with a two-year, unlimited warranty.

Hood

Tough, 3/16-inch hoods resist wear and dents caused by fast-flowing debris.

Skid Plates

On the outside, skid plates absorb most of the shock from contact with the ground, protecting the side of the mower. The 390 model also features adjustable skid shows for added support.

Knife Options

Choose from side-slicer knives for all-purpose, tough cutting, or smooth-cut knives for a more finished, trim look.

Flail Shredder Features

Re-cutter Bar

In-field productivity is also enhanced with the all-new re-cutter bar. Its design creates a strong vacuum that forces re-cutting of crop residues.

Fastening System

The flail system eliminates clogging from mud or crop residue. Its bracket design also helps prevent knife and ring loss.

Rotor Knives

The main cutter features 248 knives mounted the full length of the rotors so you won't miss a stalk. Choose from side-slicer knives for tough cutting or smooth-cut knives for grassy or weedy cutting, and get a more finished, trim look.

Rubber Deflectors

Optional front rubber deflectors keep debris and other materials under the shredder and away from the tractor and operator, and being made of rubber, they won't rust.

Features may include:

Durability & Versatility

The Frontier ™ FL10S Series Flail Mower is built with the durability to handle tough jobs like cutting brush, but the versatility to leave turf grass with a finished look.

With the capability to perform in both Grooming Mower and Rough Cutting applications, the Flail Mower is perfect for a wide range of jobs such as waterways, fields, taller brush, ditches, banks, flat ground, hedgerows, pond maintenance, and turf grass.

The ability to have one implement to complete a variety of jobs means that operators can spend their time getting work done instead of spending time switching between implements.

In addition to covering a wide range of jobs, after the first pass, operators will be driving over clean land, sparing your tractor from constantly going against rough material.

Hammer Blades for a Range of Conditions

The FL10S Series models come standard with hammer blades. These are great all-purpose durable blades, providing aggressive cutting for tougher conditions while also delivering a high-quality cut on maintained fields.

Hydraulic Side Shift for Hard-to-Reach Areas

The FL10S Series model comes standard with hydraulic side shift, giving operators the ability to slide left of center 21.5” and fully extended up to 83”, all from the seat of their tractor. Side shift is ideal for trimming along walls, buildings, trees with low-lying branches, fences, or orchards, making those hard-to-reach areas an easy cut.

Rear Hitch Float Feature

While in work position, the pin can be removed allowing the cylinder to float so the implement can follow the contours of the ground.

Roller with Adjustable Cutting Heights

The roller can be adjusted into three different cutting height positions (low, medium, and high). These adjustments can help prevent blades from digging into the soil with changing conditions. Even in rough terrain, the roller can help achieve a smooth performance.

Skid Shoes

To prevent blades from digging into the soil on uneven surfaces, the position of the skid shoes can be adjusted to meet soil conditions.

For optimal cutting performance, adjustments to both the skid shoes and roller can prevent scalping and tilling the ground.

External Heavy-Duty Gearbox

The FL10S Series Flail Mower features an external gearbox making this rugged, heavy-duty gearbox easily serviceable and replaceable. The gearbox comes with a one-year warranty.

Parking Stand

Easily adjust the parking stand into the down position so the flail mower can simply be lowered to the ground during removal.
