Caster wheels
By having four height adjustable caster wheels, the GM40 Series Grooming Mower follows ground contours and prevents scalping for even cut quality. Heavy tubular caster wheel arms are bolted to rail supports for long life.
-
Floating top and lower hitch for level cutting
The floating top link on the GM40 Series keeps the deck tracking over ground contours for a level and smooth cut. For increased cut quality, connect your tractor’s 3-point hitch to the mower without an iMatch™ hitch system, taking advantage of the side-to-side floating clevis brackets.

Choose from various cutting blades
To meet specific mowing needs, choose from two blade types:
- Low lift
- High lift (standard)

Deck design increases overall productivity
The deep deck design allows greater cutting volume and a cleaner cut. Offset gauge wheels reduce grass tracks.
