ATV CK/E 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.

ATV CK/E 120 Flail Mower with Lifan 4FARMER Engine

The ATV CK/E 120 model is equipped with a powerful Lifan 4-stroke, single-cylinder, OHV engine with 16 HP. The unit runs on gasoline and is started by an electric starter. Thanks to its self-propelled drive, the mower can be easily attached to a quad, ATV, or off-road vehicle. A robust shaft with flail blades ensures effective shredding, and the high operating speed allows for excellent mowing results. The device is equipped with an ISO-50 hitch that fits standard car hitches.

The mower's adjustment range includes:

• Changing the cutting height,
• Adjusting the drawbar angle and height,
• Setting the side shift.

The ATV CK series is distinguished by its practical design. The opening rear flap makes mowing tall grass easier, reducing the load on the machine. Additionally, the wheels can be mounted on the sides or rear of the mower, allowing for a narrower machine and adapting it to terrain conditions.

Intended use of the ATV CK/E 120 flail mower:

• mowing wasteland and areas with tall grass,
• maintaining roadsides,
• maintaining green areas in cities,
• maintaining pastures, meadows, and recreational areas,
• tidying up park areas and shrubs,
• use in orchards and nurseries,
• work on any area accessible by a quad or ATV.
