Description
The Forestwest BM11161 Self-Propelled Flail Mower is a compact petrol flail mower designed for cutting and mulching long grass, weeds and overgrown vegetation around acreage, paddocks, orchards and other properties.
Powered by a 224cc petrol engine, the BM11161 combines a compact 50cm cutting width with self-propelled drive, making it easier to manoeuvre through areas where larger tractor-mounted or tow-behind mowers may not be practical.
The flail cutting system cuts and mulches vegetation in a single pass. Its compact walk-behind format is particularly useful around trees, fence lines, orchard rows and tighter sections of a property.
