Blackstone BM-CD 140 - Tractor-mounted flail Mower - Inter-Row Disc - Medium series - Hydraulic shift

The Blackstone tractor-mounted flail mower with hydraulically driven, horizontal axis BM-CD series is the perfect tool for shredding light weeds, grass and small shrubs on lawns, forests, orchards and fallow land.

Blackstone BM-CD 140 flail mower is an agricultural tool used to shred grass, crop residues and other plants. It is equipped with a rotating disc with two sharp blades that cut the material as required. It allows grass or weeds to be mown between crop rows, reducing inter-crop conflict and improving crop health and yield.

Blackstone BM-CD 140 features an inter-row disc with a spring-loaded mechanical retracting system.

The inter-row header provides a number of advantages:

• The purpose of grass cutting is to maintain a manageable height of the grass with minimum soil disruption.
• The adjustable processing height allows certain species to develop favourably against others.
• By using the inter-row disc, "mulching" is possible, i.e. leaving the cut organic material on the surface. This makes it possible to repress the development of various weeds, exploit the shading effect of organic material and, thanks to the decomposition of residues in the soil, enrich the soil with useful nutrients.

Medium-sizedseries flail mower, suitable for mainly hobby use, equipped with hydraulic side-shift, 3 drive belts, rear roller and double opening bonnet.

TECHNICAL DATA (brief overview):

• Real working width: 140 cm
• Real width (side skids already assembled): 214 cm
• Weight: 337 kg
• Side hydraulic shift
• 1° Category 3-point hitch
• 3-belt drive transmission

The Blackstone BM-CD 140 inter-row disc is a versatile component useful for cleaning areas around tree trunks, fence posts and spaces between rows; its main purpose is to reduce weed or grass interference, promoting the growth and health of main crops.

Thanks to a return spring, when it comes into contact with the trunk of the plant, it retracts without causing damage to the crop.

The inter-row disc is installed on a system of parallels that makes it mobile, allowing it to adapt to any unevenness in the ground, with the possibility of adjusting the working height by means of a special screw.

The attachment to the flail mower comprises two parallel moving axles and the base of the disc is levelling, thus ensuring a floating movement of the disc itself, which allows it to adapt to any unevenness in the soil.

Hydraulic pump and 66 cm hydraulic hose pair with standard quick couplings, third 72 cm pipe for the return.

Inter-row disc cutting diameter: 60 cm

Need 25/40 litres of oil to run the pump.

Inter-row disc total weight : 37 kg

2 horizontal blades with cutting edges on both sides.

The Blackstone BM-CD 140 flail mower is equipped with hydraulic shift.

The three-point hitch slides on two sturdy tubes, both 117 cm long.

Focus on the piston that controls the hydraulic shift (32 cm) of this flail mower. This allows the position of the cutting unit to be adjusted and moved laterally compared to the machine frame. This feature allows the cutting unit to be aligned with the vegetation to be cut and to work efficiently even under the most demanding shredding conditions.

Universal standard PTO ( 1 3/8" Z6 )

Universal joints suitable for all tractors on the market.

Focus on the sturdy 1° category 3-point hitch,

Wheelbase size 61 cm.

Height of the two lowest pins from the ground: 30 cm

Height from the highest pin from the ground: 76 cm

Height-adjustable rear supporting roller provided on standard equipment.

Support roller protection rod.

Focus on one of the two standard adjustable side support skids.

Gearbox in oil bath.

B-section 3-belt side drive.

Focus on the protective casing, with central opening for grease nipple.

Focus on the side supporting device with hammer rotor internal locking bearing.

Focus on the external rotor, with central opening provided with greaser.

Sturdy set of front protection slaps made of shaped steel.

Focus on the external anchoring of the rear roller, with central opening provided with greaser.

No. of hammers fitted on standard equipment: 18.

Focus on the cutting hammers, mounted on the rotating roller.

Hole width: 16 mm.

Blade width: 13.5 cm

Weight of the single hammer flail: 800 g

These hammers are fixed to a rotor inside the machine.

It finely shreds grass and twigs, while simultaneously rolling the turf. Thanks to the high number of rotor revolutions and the number of hammers (hammer flails), it allows reducing the wave impact of the grass cover and performing excellent shredding operations.
