Blackstone BM-CD 160 - Tractor-mounted flail mower - Medium series - Hydraulic shift

The BM-160 hydraulic side shift tractor flail mower is a machine suitable for cutting and shredding vegetation, such as trees, shrubs and grass. The distinctive feature of this machine is its hydraulic side shift system, which allows to move laterally the tractor flail mower for a precise and efficient work.

The tractor flail mower with hydraulic side shift is composed by a strong and sturdy frame, on which is installed a cutting system consisting of sharp blades, which rotate at high speed to cut vegetation. This hydraulic displacement system is fully integrated into the frame and allows the flail mower to be positioned laterally with extreme precision, exploiting the hydraulic piston that accurately and safely controls the movement of the machine.

The Blackstone BM-CD 160 flail mower can be used in agriculture on cultivated land, meadows, pastures or for the maintenance of green areas such as parks or gardens.

On this model it is possible to install a practical inter-row disc to optimise the various shredding operations, thanks to a holder that is supplied as standard.

Medium-sizedseries flail mower, suitable for mainly hobby use, equipped with hydraulic side-shift, 3 drive belts, rear roller and double opening bonnet.

TECHNICAL DATA (brief overview):

• Real working width: 160 cm

• Weight: 325 kg
• Side hydraulic shift
• 1° Category 3-point hitch
• 3-belt drive transmission

The Blackstone BM-CD 160 flail mower is equipped with hydraulic shift.

The three-point hitch slides on two sturdy tubes, both 117 cm long.

Focus on the piston that controls the hydraulic shift (32 cm) of this flail mower. This allows the position of the cutting unit to be adjusted and moved laterally compared to the machine frame. This feature allows the cutting unit to be aligned with the vegetation to be cut and to work efficiently even under the most demanding shredding conditions.

Universal standard PTO ( 1 3/8" Z6 )

Universal joints suitable for all tractors on the market.

Focus on the sturdy 1° category 3-point hitch,

Wheelbase size 61 cm.

Height of the two lowest pins from the ground: 30 cm

Height from the highest pin from the ground: 76 cm

This flail mower has been designed to support an inter-row disc (available separately on the site), which can be attached to the machine by means of a practical bracket (supplied).

Gearbox in oil bath.. The housing is made of cast iron, while the internal gears are made of hardened steel.

This machine is equipped with a freewheel device (or additional joint) built in the gearbox; this ensures a long service life of all the moving parts of the machine, preventing the kickback that would be caused by changing from 540 rpm to 0 rpm and allowing the rotor to turn freely until it stops.

3-belt side transmission (most tractor-mounted flail mowers in this weight category are equipped with standard 3-belt transmission)

Focus on the side belt protection guard.

Focus on the transmission side grease nipple.

Weight of the single hammer flail: 800 g

These hammers are fixed to a rotor inside the machine.

It finely shreds grass and twigs, while simultaneously rolling the turf. Thanks to the high number of rotor revolutions and the number of hammers (hammer flails), it allows reducing the wave impact of the grass cover and performing excellent shredding operations.
