Tractor-mounted Flail Mowers BullMach

BullMach tractor flail mowers are implements designed for cutting and shredding tall grass, brambles, small shrubs and plant residues. They are used to clear agricultural land, meadows, orchards, vineyards, olive groves, roadsides, ditches and embankments. The range includes rear-mounted machines for routine work, models with an inter-row disc for operating close to trunks and posts, and arm flail mowers for sloping surfaces or areas offset from the tractor.

BullMach offers machinery and equipment for agriculture, horticulture and construction, having gradually developed a catalogue that also includes wood chippers, generators, power barrows, log splitters and grounds maintenance machinery. The brand’s operations are organised in Italy between its offices and warehouses in Castel Ritaldi and Bastia and its central workshop in Spoleto, dedicated to after-sales service and repairs. The range focuses on a balanced relationship between technical equipment and price, with original spare parts and a two-year warranty specified for the brand’s equipment.

The page dedicated to BullMach tractor flail mowers also includes the following types, each designed for a specific operating context:

• BullMach rear-mounted tractor flail mowers: they work behind the tractor on grass, light pruning residues and small shrubs. The different series make it possible to match the structure, width and weight to the available power and frequency of work;
• BullMach flail mowers with inter-row disc: they combine the main rotor with a side disc designed to cut vegetation between rows. They are suitable for vineyards, orchards and olive groves where work is required close to trunks and posts;
• BullMach side-arm verge flail mowers: they move the cutting head outside the tractor’s profile and can operate at different angles. They are suitable for ditches, embankments, slopes, verges and side vegetation;

At AgriEuro, BullMach tractor flail mowers can be selected according to their technical features, making it easier to choose the machine best suited to the tractor, vegetation and surface to be worked. The main parameters help compare operating capacity, overall dimensions and machine configuration.

• Power requirement: it must be compatible with the tractor’s horsepower and lifting capacity, avoiding configurations that are too heavy or undersized;
• Construction series: light, medium or heavy, it defines the level of strength and guides the choice according to grass, pruning residues, brambles and woody material;
• Working width: it determines the width covered with each pass and must be assessed together with the track width, manoeuvring space and row layout;
• Cutting system: the rotor can use hammers suitable for thick grass, brambles and tougher residues; the configuration must be chosen according to the main material to be shredded;
• Side shift: fixed, manual or hydraulic, it allows the machine to be positioned in relation to the tractor’s centre line to work closer to edges, rows and obstacles;
• Tractor connection: the three-point linkage supports the machine, and the PTO transfers power to the rotor through the PTO shaft, gearbox and belts;
• Cutting-height adjustment: the rear roller, skids and dedicated systems maintain the selected working height and limit direct contact between the tools and the ground;
• Specialist configuration: the inter-row disc reaches beneath the rows; the side arm moves the cutting head onto sloping surfaces or outside the tractor’s path;

Light and medium series are suitable for hobby or semi-professional applications, such as periodically cutting meadows, small plots and rows. Medium-heavy and heavy series are intended for more frequent professional applications involving thick vegetation, woody residues and large surfaces. The choice must always comply with the limits specified for the individual model and the tractor’s characteristics.

The BullMach range includes rear-mounted, inter-row and side-arm configurations developed for different tasks. The choice depends on the position of the vegetation, the slope of the surface and the degree of precision required close to crops. Tractor power, working width and type of residue complete the assessment.

BullMach rear-mounted tractor flail mowers connect to the three-point linkage and work either in line with or offset from the tractor. The PTO drives the rotor, on which the tools designed to strike and shred vegetation are mounted. These machines are suitable for cutting tall, spontaneous grass, shredding light pruning residues and periodically clearing meadows, fields, orchards and rural surfaces. Light, medium and heavy series make it possible to choose a structure consistent with the tractor’s power and the density of the residues. Fixed models provide a simple configuration; models with manual or hydraulic side shift allow the cutting head to work closer to edges and obstacles. Working width, weight, number of belts and rear-roller adjustment all affect compatibility and shredding results.

The distinctive elements of this type include:

• Rear-mounted position: it keeps the machine behind the tractor and facilitates regular passes over open surfaces;
• Choice of series: it allows the structure to be matched to the frequency of work and density of the vegetation;
• Linkage shift: on compatible models, it allows the lateral position to be changed to facilitate work close to edges;
• Rear roller: it supports the selected cutting height and follows the machine during forward travel;

BullMach flail mowers with an inter-row disc combine shredding of the central strip with cutting vegetation growing close to trunks, stumps and posts. The disc is positioned at the side of the housing and increases the surface reached while travelling between rows. On retractable systems, contact with an obstacle causes the disc to withdraw before returning to its working position. This configuration is useful in vineyards, orchards and olive groves, where a traditional rear-mounted flail mower cannot reach beneath the rows. The main rotor processes grass, pruning residues and small shrubs; the disc finishes the side strip during the same pass. The choice requires attention to row width, distance between plants, tractor power and type of side shift. Manual versions offer mechanical adjustments; hydraulic versions allow the position to be corrected from the tractor controls.

The equipment that characterises this type includes:

• Inter-row disc: it cuts grass in the strip close to trunks and posts, completing the work of the central rotor;
• Retracting system: it responds to contact with obstacles and returns the disc to its operating position;
• Side adjustment: it adapts the machine’s position to the row width and distance from the plants;
• Combined operation: it processes the central strip and the area beneath the rows in the same pass, reducing separate finishing work;

BullMach side-arm verge flail mowers move the cutting head beyond the tractor’s profile and allow it to work on horizontal, sloping or lateral surfaces. They are designed to clear embankments, ditches, slopes, roadsides, banks and vegetation along field boundaries. The articulated arm and hydraulic controls adjust the extension, offset and angle of the cutting head according to the profile being followed. The PTO powers the rotor; the structure withstands the stresses generated by offset operation. Compared with a standard rear-mounted model, this type requires more careful checking of the tractor’s weight, power, lifting capacity and stability. The working widths and construction series distinguish machines intended for periodic operations from those designed for frequent professional work. The operator must also observe the angles and limits stated in the model’s manual.

The main functions to consider are:

• Side arm: it positions the cutting head beyond the wheel track to reach edges, ditches and slopes;
• Hydraulic inclination: it adjusts the cutting head to the profile of the surface within the limits specified for the model;
• Hammer rotor: it shreds grass, brambles and residues compatible with the selected construction series;
• Offset structure: it requires correct matching with the tractor’s weight, track width and lifting capacity;

The choice starts with the tractor’s power, lifting capacity and the material to be shredded. The construction series, working width, weight, cutting system and type of side shift must then be compared. A rear-mounted machine is suitable for routine work; an inter-row disc is used close to trunks and posts; a side arm reaches ditches, embankments and sloping surfaces. Permitted values must always match the specifications of the individual model and tractor.

The required power varies according to model, width and series. Checking horsepower alone is not enough: the three-point linkage category, PTO speed, lifting capacity and machine weight must also be considered. The technical data sheets specify the compatible power range. Choosing a model within this range allows the rotor to work consistently and maintains an appropriate setup during transport and shredding.

The width must be matched to the power, track width and available space. A wider cutting head covers more ground with each pass but increases weight and power demand. In rows, the distance between crops and available manoeuvring space must be considered. Productivity can take priority on open surfaces; around plants, fences and narrow passages, control of overall dimensions becomes more important.

The main differences concern structure, weight and work intensity. Light series are suitable for grass and less demanding residues with lower-powered tractors. Medium series cover more frequent work and mixed vegetation. Heavy series use structures and components sized for tougher residues and demanding work. The class does not replace the specific limits stated on the model’s data sheet.

It is used to process the central strip and the area beneath the rows in the same pass. The main rotor shreds vegetation between the rows; the side disc reaches grass close to trunks, stumps and posts. The retracting system responds to obstacles and returns the disc to its operating position. It is a suitable solution for vineyards, orchards and olive groves, provided its dimensions and adjustments are compatible with the crop layout.

It should be chosen when vegetation is located outside the tractor’s path or on sloping surfaces. The arm moves the cutting head towards ditches, embankments, slopes, verges and edges, adjusting its position and angle. Offset operation requires a tractor with suitable weight, track width, power and lifting capacity. Before starting work, the permitted angles, stability and instructions in the manual must be checked.

Manual side shift requires a mechanical adjustment performed while the machine is stationary; hydraulic side shift allows the position to be changed using the tractor controls. The manual solution is suitable when the configuration is changed infrequently. The hydraulic option makes frequent adjustments along rows, edges and obstacles easier. The tractor must have the hydraulic connections required by the model.

The height is set using the rear roller, skids or adjustments provided on the model. The rotor must not work in direct contact with the ground because stones and uneven surfaces can damage the tools and increase stress. Adjustment must be carried out on a stable surface, with the machine stationary and in accordance with the manual. After the first few metres, the consistency of the result and lateral setup should be checked.

Maintenance includes cleaning, lubrication and inspection of components subject to wear. Before every work session, the hammers or blades, bolts, belts, guards, roller, gearbox and PTO shaft must be checked. Damaged tools must be replaced while maintaining rotor balance. Service intervals, lubricants and belt tension depend on the model and are specified in its manual.

Before starting, check the linkage, PTO shaft, guards and work area. The machine must be correctly connected to the three-point linkage, and all guards must be fitted. People and animals must be kept away, the area must be checked for stones or objects and the specified safety distances must be observed. Adjustments, cleaning and inspections must be carried out with the engine switched off, the PTO disengaged and all moving parts completely stationary.
