Mower application

The Bowell MFZpro flail mower series offers you professional technology for small and medium-sized tractors and is equipped with reinforced free-wheel angle gears from the Italian manufacturer Comer. In addition, the MFZpro series is equipped with hydraulics that allow the mower to be moved 52 cm to the right in the direction of travel. This makes it possible to work further to the right of the tractor than with a fixed flail mower. The hydraulics make it easy to mow around obstacles such as trees, fence posts or traffic signs without having to use the tractor's steering. With a working width of up to 220 cm, the solid MFZpro mowers can be optimally adapted to the power and width of your tractor and the area to be cultivated. The 220 cm model features a further reinforced 3-point mounting system, designed to accommodate the machine’s heavy weight.
This makes Bowell MFZpro mulchers particularly suitable for fruit and wine growing or in nurseries, where prunings lie on the ground and need to be mulched. Forest glades with a lot of dead wood in the grass can also be worked on excellently.




Bowell MFZpro flail mowers are equipped with Bowell Power Efficiency technology ex works. If your tractor supports a PTO speed of 1000 rpm in addition to the normal 540 rpm, you can also use the Bowell MFZpro mulchers at this increased speed. Simply replace the upper pulley with the lower pulley of the belt drive and you can achieve the same work performance much more efficiently and with lower fuel consumption. Save fuel with the new Bowell Power Efficiency technology, at no extra cost, right from the very first metre.

MFZpro mowers can be used effectively on medium-sized areas with grass heights of up to 100 cm that only need to be mowed two or three times a year.




Woody plant parts up to 50 mm in diameter, twigs, small branches and even small bushes are reliably shredded by the MFZpro mower thanks to its special serrated hammer flails weighing approx. 1.2 kg. MFZpro mowers are true all-round flail mowers for tractors up to 80 hp, as they are suitable for both light tasks such as regular mowing of horse pastures and for mowing significantly thicker vegetation, yet are still extremely attractively priced flail mowers.



 

Technology of the MFZpro mower

Depending on the working width, MFZpro flail mowers are equipped with 10 to 18 of the heavy, hardened, approx. 1.2 kg new Bowell high-performance toothed flails, which ensure optimum mowing results even with stubborn undergrowth, bushes and wood residues up to 50 mm in diameter. The newly developed, replaceable counter blades inside the flail mowers ensure optimum results even with stubborn undergrowth and bushes.

The heavy, ball-bearing, self-cleaning trailing roller is used to set the cutting height between 20 and 75 mm. The height-adjustable side skids on the flail mower prevent the mower from cutting into the ground when encountering bumps. A support at the front ensures stability when storing the equipment.

The scope of delivery includes a CE-approved drive shaft with a length between 80 cm and approx. 110 cm, which can be shortened for your application if necessary.
The reinforced Comer freewheel gear box on the mower ensures that the heavy flail shaft can continue to run after the PTO drive is switched off without the movement being transferred to the tractor. The metal stone guard slats attached to the front of the flail mower prevent stones and other foreign objects from flying around.
 

SKF ball bearings with performance rotor shaft 

Underneath the solid 5 mm to 8 mm thick housing of the MFZpro mowers is a laser-balanced rotor shaft with 10 to 18 hardened high-performance flails, each weighing approx. 1.2 kg. The flails have bevelled surfaces on the inside, to which deposits can hardly adhere. A further improved, spiral arrangement of the flails on the rotor shaft guarantees maximum performance with minimum effort for the tractor. The MFZpro series mulchers are equipped with reinforced rotor shafts with a diameter of 127 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm. The larger diameter also increases the flail speed from 41 m/sec to 46.5 m/sec, thereby improving performance.


The new Bowell MFZpro mowers are equipped with SKF ball bearings, which are protected from external influences in solid, CNC-milled bearing seats. The stainless steel grease nipples are easily accessible on the outside of the mulcher housing and protected from contamination and damage by additional metal rings.

The rotor shaft of the mowers rotates, driven by the tractor's PTO shaft at up to 2200 rpm, and shreds the clippings to a minimum so that they can rot quickly. The heavy, ball-bearing trailing roller guarantees smooth running.




The drive shaft is included in the scope of delivery of the Bowell MFZpro flail mowers, as is the gear oil, which is already filled at the factory.  The comprehensive operating manual explains the assembly, commissioning and maintenance of the mowers in detail and also provides you with exploded drawings of the flail mower's construction. In addition to the drive shaft, heavy metal tines are also included in the scope of delivery, which can be inserted at the rear of the mulcher if required. These specially shaped metal tines fit into the spaces between the special serrated hammer flails used in MFZpro and MXZpro mulchers. These ensure that branches are thrown back into the flail mower until they are chopped up small enough to fit through the row of solid steel tines.

The Bowell MFZpro flail mowers can thus thoroughly shred even coarser branches. While the MFZpro is popular in Northern Europe for use in fruit growing and viticulture, olive groves are the preferred area of application in Southern Europe. The metal tines can be removed for normal mulching work.
The machine is delivered fully assembled in solid Bowell wooden crates. Only the Cat 1 3-point mounting bracket (Cat 2 sockets are included in the scope of delivery) and the front safety bar still need to be attached to the mower, which takes about 30 minutes.
 

Mower with drive system and 4 drive belts

Like all Bowell mowers, Bowell MFZpro mowers are equipped with an electronically finely balanced flail shaft. All working widths in the MFZpro series feature a powerful 4-fold belt drive with reinforced pulleys, which enables almost 100% power transmission with barely measurable power loss and minimal wear, even with a high flail weight.

The belt cover allows the belt tension to be checked without having to remove the cover from the flail mower. This makes service and maintenance work much easier.
