Samasz distributor FarmShop has introduced the new XDF Series Front Mowers, said to be refined for local conditions and to improve cutting precision and wear resistance.

Featuring a pulltype hitch that allows the mower to contour easily in undulating terrain, rather than a push configuration, that tends to ‘bulldoze’ if incorrectly set, the layout also incorporates up to 22° of lateral tilt, complemented by up to 860mm of vertical travel to cope with the toughest terrain. Hydropneumatic suspension allows for superior contour following, with in-cab pressure control combined with an easy-to-read gauge.

The XDF is available with flail-type or roller conditioners, the former fitted with the Samasz’s heavy-duty ‘bear claw’ flails, said to be tailored to be more aggressive for NZ’s harsh conditions, especially the South Island’s irrigated grass and heavy crops.

The conditioner units are gear-driven, with the ability to run at 700 or 1000 rpm, with simple lever adjustment to change speeds, alongside 8-position conditioning intensity adjustment, allowing fine-tuning in changing conditions.

Available in working widths of 3.0 or 3.5 metres, the cutterbars feature quickchange blades and drive modules, both easily changed in the paddock, to deliver a substantial reduction in downtime for routine maintenance or breakdowns.

Standard features include an A-frame hitch, with a new innovative locking system, central greasing for ease of maintenance. Hydraulically operated side guards, offer operator-friendly work start up and moves, while integrated LED lights, marker boards and indicators, ensure safe moves between job sites.

During storage, a patented, support foot mechanism, swings in/ out automatically when required.
