Hydraulic Side Shift Flail Mowers for Precision Edge Control
Farmry hydraulic side shift flail mowers give tractor operators greater control when mowing along fence lines, orchard rows, ditch edges, and uneven terrain. Unlike a fixed 3 point flail mower, the hydraulic side shift system allows you to move the mower laterally while operating, improving reach without repositioning your tractor.
This design helps reduce extra trimming passes and improves safety when working near obstacles or boundaries. Whether cutting grass in open fields or managing brush and vegetation around property edges, a flail mower with hydraulic side shift delivers cleaner, more controlled results.
All models connect to a standard 3 point hitch and operate on a 540 RPM PTO, making them compatible with most Cat 1 and 2 tractors.
