Mowing and material handling

The WFM-145's hammer flails cut through heavier vegetation than a conventional lawn mower is intended to handle. A counter-knife mulching bar works with the flails to process the cut material, while the full-width rear roller is adjustable to suit the required working setup.

The 1.45m working width offers a practical balance between coverage and manoeuvrability for suitable tractor-based maintenance work.

Hydraulic side shift and tractor fitment

Hydraulic side shift provides 300mm of lateral adjustment, allowing the mower to be moved across from its central position rather than relying solely on the tractor's line of travel. The WFM range can operate in-line or offset, giving flexibility in how the mower is positioned for the job.

The WFM range uses a Category 1 three-point hitch. Check that your tractor has the appropriate hitch and hydraulic connections, and meets the WFM-145's 25hp requirement before purchase.
