ATV CK/M 120 flail mower, Loncin 4FARMER engine

Flail mower with its own engine – what exactly is an ATV mower?

An ATV mower is a mowing device equipped with an independent combustion engine and can be towed by various types of vehicles. Although there is no single, formal definition of this type of machine, it can be said that these are mowers that do not require an external source of power – for example, a tractor's power take-off shaft (PTO). However, it is worth noting that although they have their own engine, they do not move independently – they require a towing vehicle to operate. The combustion engine is only responsible for starting the cutting mechanism – the shaft or blades.

What types of ATV mowers are there?

• ATV flail mower
• ATV grooming mower

Both variants differ in the cutting mechanism used. Flail mowers use flails (also known as hammers) mounted on a rotating shaft to cut vegetation – they're great for cutting dense weeds and undergrowth. Grooming mowers, on the other hand, use horizontally rotating cutting blades, similar to a propeller – their purpose is to precisely and aesthetically trim the lawn.

The mower is equipped with a Loncin OVH, four-stroke, 15 HP engine (remote start), powered by gasoline. It has its own drive, allowing it to be used with a quad bike, SUV, or mini tractor, for example. A robust, balanced shaft with flail blades guarantees smooth and efficient operation, while the rapid shredding ensures high efficiency. Installation via a tow bar is quick and easy.

The mower offers the possibility of adjustment:

• cutting height,
• position and angle of the drawbar,
• side shift of the device.

The ATV CK/M model features a rear hatch that can be opened to lighten the machine when mowing tall grass. Additionally, the wheels can be mounted in two configurations – on the sides or rear of the mower – allowing for a narrower width, especially useful in tight spaces.

Application of the ATV CK/M 120 mower:

• for mowing wasteland and bushes,
• when tidying up roadsides and areas along the roadside,
• in the care of urban greenery,
• in meadows, pastures and recreational areas,
• for work in parks and gardens,
• in fruit farms and nurseries,
• in every place where access by quad bike is possible.
