Prevents debris from flying out from under deck
A rear chain shield kit is available as an attachment for field conversion. It assists in preventing debris from flying out from underneath the deck of the rear-discharge grooming mowers.
Provides a quality cut
High blade-tip speed and precise blade overlap work together to ensure exceptional strength, performance, and a quality cut.
Three blades per deck
To meet specific mowing needs, choose from two blade types:
- Low lift
- High lift (standard)
Smooth, level finish
The floating top link on the GM40E Series keeps the deck tracking over ground contours for a level and smooth cut.
Four caster wheels follow ground contours
By having four caster wheels, the GM40E Series Grooming Mower follows ground contours and prevents scalping. Heavy tubular caster wheel arms are bolted to rail supports for long life.
Gearbox is rated for up to 35 hp for longer life
The GM40E Series Grooming Mowers come with a 35 hp rated rugged gearbox.
Deck design increases overall productivity
The deep deck design allows greater cutting volume and a cleaner cut. Offset Gauge Wheels are reducing grass tracks
