Loftness offers light-duty flail mowers for skid steers and tractors as part of its VMLogix line of products. Featuring heavy-duty construction, the mowers cut grass, weeds and brush up to .75 in. (2 cm) in diameter and leave an even mat of mulch for fast decomposition.
Skid steer models are available in 60-, 72- and 90-in. (152, 183 and 228 cm) widths. They come with universal mounts and can be used with flow rates as low as 10 gpm (38 Lpm). Tractor models are available in 48-, 60-, 72- and 90-in. (122, 152, 183 and 228 cm) widths for 540-RPM tractors with 14-70 PTO horsepower. Tractor models offer a three-point offsetable hitch mount.
All models come with adjustable skid shoes and offer a variable cutting height of 0 to 4.5 in. (0 to 11.4 cm). The heat-treated, side-slice knives are reversible and will work in grass, weeds or brush. Additionally, the curved hood design maximizes suction for optimum cutting performance.
The flail motors are constructed of thick steel and come with heavy-duty vented belt shields. The drive systems feature taper-lock sheaves, three-groove banded belts and spring-loaded belt tensioners. Oversized bearings with deflector guards are used throughout the design for smooth, reliable performance.
Other standard features include a full-width adjustable gage roller, roller scraper and steel deflectors.
Loftness manufactures the VMLogix line of vegetation management equipment, the GrainLogix line of grain-bagging equipment and the CropLogix line of crop shredders.
