Click one of the feature numbers below.

PTO Gearbox

The Giraffa and Giraffona Flail Mowers use a self contained 540 rpm over-run gearbox. There are two versions of each Giraffa model size, one with an internally mounted gearbox (SI) and one with an externally mounted gearbox (SE) which gives it an extra 44cm reach compared to the internal models.

External Transmission Belt Adjustable

The Giraffa Flail Mower utilises 4 toothed transmission drive belts to transfer power to the rotor, the toothed drive belts allow slip proof engagement preventing power from the transmission being reduced due to heavy loads or general wear.

Blades And Hammer Kits

The Giraffa Flail Mower comes standard with hammer flails and as an option with fish tail flails, the self sharpening hammer flail leaves a clean and level cut and lifts and mulches while cutting. The fish tail flail is used for cutting dense tougher material. The hammers and blades bolt onto the rotor which is electronically balanced to minimise machine vibration and stresses on the bearings.

Counter Blade

The Giraffa Flail Mower comes as standard with an internal lower toothed counter blade that ensures that the discharged material is mulched into fine pieces. The upper counter blade kits are available as an optional extra for a finer mulching of harder coarser materials.

Adjustable Rear Roller

The Giraffa Flail Mower has two rear roller positions, internal and external. The external position unloads material in front of the self cleaning roller, the roller scraper can be manually adjusted if required to suit different working conditions. The external position is recommended for straw chopping as it presses down the crop residue speeding up break down. The internal position unloads the material behind the roller and is recommended for grass cutting. As a rule the roller scraper isn’t required for the internal position as the spinning flails on the machine automatically carry out this process.

Front Safety Flaps

Steel front safety flaps allow material to enter the cutting chamber but prevent pieces from being thrown out at high speed.

Hydraulic Offset

The Giraffa Flail Mower comes as standard with hydraulically adjusted side and incline offset. It utilises a hydraulic system to allow the machine to work either directly behind the tractor or to the side enabling you or the user to reach far beyond the profile of the tractor and the ability to work on vertical or steep sloping surfaces.

Pair Of Side Skids

A pair of hard wearing protective skids prevent wear to the machine and allow the operator to adjust the cutting length.

Rear Opening Bonnet For Maintenance

The rear bonnet can be easily opened for flail and rotor inspection, this greatly improves the operator’s safety as most maintenance can be carried out with the Flail Mower on the ground.

Long Life Bearings

The Giraffa Flail Mower uses barrel roller bearings, each bearing has a double rail consisting of two rows of spherical or barrel bearings to cope with heavy workloads. All bearings used in Maschio Flail Mowers are produced by SKF.
Main Advantages:

Long Life (Up to 30% longer life than traditional taper roller bearings)

High Load Capacity (shock resistance)

Easy Maintenance (One of Maschio's main philosophies)
