Orange flail mower with hydraulic shift GEOGRASS EFGCH-M

The first basic question asked by users who are faced with choosing their first flail mower for a tractor is:

• What is a flail mower with hydraulic shift?
• What is the difference between a flail mower with a slider and a mower without a slider?
• Which mower is better?
• Why is it worth choosing a sliding mower?

Most manufacturers of flail mowers attached to tractors and tractors, in addition to the standard version of the mower, also offer their customersmowers with hydraulic shift. How do they differ?At first glance, a mower with a sliding mower and a mower without hydraulic sliding do not differ from each other. After careful inspection, we can see the difference in the construction of the mower turret and the visible hydraulic lines of the mower. The basic structure is a cutting shaft, gear or housing and is exactly the same as in a mower without a slider. The difference is in the assembly of the turret itself; in a sliding mower, the turret is mounted on a special overhead crane.When do we use a flail mower with a slider? A flail mower with a slider is always chosen when the field conditions require the mower to be extended beyond the outline of the tractor, longer than the basic version of the mower without a slider, which, depending on the working width, always protrudes beyond the outline of the tractor (always more to the right when standing behind the machine).
