Application area of the mower

The Bowell EFGC-HFL flail mower series has special hydraulic valves that enable a freewheel function when the hydraulics are switched off. With an available working width of up to 175 cm, the massive EFGC-HFL mowers can be optimally adapted to the power and width of your wheel loader, telescopic loader or yard loader.

EFGC-HFL mowers can be used effectively on medium-sized areas with a grass height of up to 75 cm that only need to be mowed two or three times a year.

Woody plant matter up to 25 mm in diameter, twigs, smaller branches and even small bushes are reliably shredded by the mower. EFGC-HFL mowers are genuine all-round flail mowers for wheel loaders, as they are suitable for light tasks such as regular re-mowing of horse pastures as well as for mowing out much heavier vegetation and are still extremely attractively priced flail mowers.

Technology of the EFGC-HFL mower

Depending on the working width, the EFGC-HFL flail mowers are equipped with 18 to 26 of the heavy, hardened and galvanised 800 g Bowell high-performance flails. The newly developed, replaceable counter-blades inside the flail mowers ensure optimum mowing results even with stubborn undergrowth and bushes.

The cutting height is set between 20 and 75 mm using the heavy, ball-bearing mounted, self-cleaning rear roller. The height-adjustable side skids on the flail mower prevent the mower from mowing into the ground on bumps. From model year 2020, we use sturdy stainless steel grease nipples.
 
The reinforced hydraulic gearbox on the mower ensures that the heavy flail shaft can continue to run after the PTO drive is switched off. This is ensured by special hydraulic safety valves which also become active if the rotor shaft should block. The stone guard metal discs fitted to the front of the flail mower prevent stones and other foreign objects from flying around.

SKF ball bearings  

A laser-balanced rotor shaft with 18 to 26 hardened and galvanised high-performance flails, each weighing 800 g, is located under the solid 4 mm thick sheet steel cover of the mower. The flails have bevelled surfaces on the inside to prevent debris from sticking.
All EFGC-HFL mowers are equipped with ball bearings from SKF, which are protected from external influences in solid, CNC-milled bearing seats. The new stainless steel grease nipples are mounted on the outside of the mower housing for easy access and are protected against dirt and damage.
The rotor shaft of the mowers rotates at up to 2100 rpm, driven by the tractor's PTO shaft, and shreds the clippings to a minimum so that they can decompose quickly. The heavy, ball-bearing mounted trailing roller guarantees smooth running.
The hydraulic lines are included with the Bowell EFGC-HFL flail mower.  The comprehensive operating instructions explain the design, commissioning and maintenance of the mowers in detail and also provide you with exploded-view drawings of the design of the flail mowers.
They are supplied fully assembled in the solid Bowell wooden crates. Only the front support wheels and the EURO interface adapter still need to be attached to the mower, which can be done in approx. 30 minutes.

Mower with drive system and 4 drive belts

Bowell EFGC-HFL mowers, like all Bowell mowers, are equipped with an electronically fine-balanced flail shaft, which is driven by three or four 17 mm wide drive belts, depending on the working width of the mower.
From a working width of 175 cm, a 4-fold belt drive with reinforced pulleys is used in the mower, which enables almost 100% power transmission with hardly any measurable loss of power and minimal wear, even with a high flail weight.
The new belt cover makes it possible to check the belt tension without having to remove the cover from the flail mower. This makes your service and maintenance work much easier.
