ATV CK/M 120 flail mower, Lifan 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 machine is equipped with an ISO-50 hitch for easy connection.
