Chapman ATV Flail Mower Options

ATV Flail Mower Front Break Bar

The full-width round bar with tapered ends fitted to the front of the unit protects against damage from bricks, boulders, etc., and helps guide the vegetation into the machine for a more controlled cut.

Mulching Cutter Bar

This serrated strip of metal fits on the underside of the flail mower and is positioned to allow the cutting blades to mulch the grass to a fine finish, speeding up the decomposition process.

Twin Wheel Axle

When the ground is very wet and boggy the twin “walking beam” axle is an absolute ‘must’, especially when mowing reeds.

FAQs

Whats is the difference between the standard Chapman FM and the Pro ATV Flail Mowers

Primarily, the Powerplant and the clutch pack system. The standard FM models are equipped with the proven commercial Honda 21HP 630cc V-Twin motor, in contrast to the 25HP – 800cc electronically fueled engine. Moreover, both models feature a top-tier clutch pack specification, while the Pro model boasts a double clutch pack.

What is the better mower, the Pro or the standard model?

Pardon the pun, but it truly is a case of “horses for courses.” For over 90% of users, the standard model suffices (refer to the woodland bramble video). The key consideration lies in the choice of cutting flail—whether it be the Y flails or the robust forged heavy-duty hammer flails!

Are Chapman ATV flail mowers the best?

Undoubtedly, they rank among the best. The Wessex and Chapman ATV Flail Mowers actively compete at the upper tier of the market.
