Bobcat 60-Inch Flail Mower for Skid Steers

Overview

Bobcat's 60-inch flail mower handles overgrown grass, brush, and light vegetation on compact to mid-frame skid steers. The hinged flail design keeps cut material contained — safer around structures, roads, and livestock than open rotary cutters. Requires high-flow hydraulics. Common on Canadian municipal rights-of-way and rural properties. Available through Bobcat dealers.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You operate a mini skid steer (Dingo, Boxer, Toro) and need a mowing attachment that fits the weight class
  • Tight spaces, urban landscaping, or orchard row maintenance where a full-size machine can't maneuver
  • You want contained discharge for safe operation near buildings, fences, or people

Skip if

  • You run a full-size skid steer — a standard flail mower gives better productivity and coverage
  • Heavy brush is your main target — mini flails are built for grass and light vegetation only

Also consider

  • Standard flail mower sized for your full-size skid steer if applicable
  • Rotary cutter for light brush on mini skid steers with appropriate flow
Machine Compatibility

Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect all flail hammers before every use — broken or missing hammers unbalance the rotor; a single missing hammer at high RPM creates destructive vibration
  • Replace flail hammers in matched sets to maintain rotor balance — even one missing hammer causes vibration that damages drive motor bearings
  • Grease rotor shaft bearing housings after every 8 hours of cutting
  • Remove wrapped wire, twine, and root material from around the rotor shaft after every session — wrapped material cuts through shaft seals and causes bearing contamination
  • Check the hydraulic motor case drain line for leakage after extended work in thick material — a restricted drain causes shaft seal failure and catastrophic motor damage

How to Connect

  1. Attach frame using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
  3. Run rotor at idle for 20 seconds before engaging full speed
  4. Test stall protection if equipped
Safety NoteKeep bystanders 100m+ clear. Flying debris is serious risk.
