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.

Flail mower with combustion engine or what is an ATV mower ?

Mower with its own combustion engine , attached to various vehicles - this is the ATV mower (All-Terrain Vehicle). There is no exact definition of ATV mowers , but it is definitely a lawn mower that, thanks to the fact that it has its own engine, it does not need power transmitted e.g. from a tractor or other machine (PTO shaft). ATV mower does not have own drive, therefore it must be towed, and this is most often the towing hook or ball hitch of the car trailer. Even though the machine has an engine, the ATV mower must be towed by another machine because the mower's combustion engine only drives the cutting shaft or the mowing blades, so it is only responsible for mowing the grass.

• ATV mower care ,

that differ in the cutting aggregate. In ATV flail mowers these are special ATV hammers , flails placed on the cutting shaft, and in ATV care mowers, a special ATV knife or knives that rotate in the same way as a helicopter propeller.

Manual starter or electric starter?

Whichever version of the flail mower we choose:
