Flaily machines are ideally suited for cutting grass and light pruning waste such as vine shoots. The electronically balanced rotor features double sided, free swinging blades, which rotate at a very high speed. The great number of small cutting blades ensures optimal results by cutting grass into very small pieces. Ideal also in orchards, where the terrain is not perfect, to cut small branches and for quick, accurate jobs that cannot be done using horizontal blades. This cutting system is often mistaken with the work of a mulching machine. In fact, this is a completely different machine, designed to guarantee speed and accuracy while keeping energy consumption low, distributing the cut grass evenly and cutting light pruning waste and/or brushwood.
It can be used even on grounds with small stones or bulky pieces of wood, which it will avoid, not break. Flaily is the perfect choice for firms that require strong, easy to manoeuvre machines, simple to operate and adaptable to different needs, reliable and innovative, ideal for cutting short grass but also great for cutting very high grass. One of the main characteristics of this machine is its ability to distribute cut grass evenly, slightly lifted from the ground, thus ensuring its quick decomposition into organic matter. The clean cut performed by the small blades also has a selective effect on the grass, favouring grass of better quality, to obtain the best lawns. Flaily is also ideal to maintain grass surfaces in communal and public spaces. Its easy manoeuvrability, joined with the fact that it can cut high grass and brushwood, make it the perfect choice to maintain roundabouts, sports grounds and parks, where, even if the ground is uneven, the machine can reach a speed of up to 8 km/h.
Innovation, quality, reliability and strength are the reasons why we are proud of our machines.
Innovative universal accessories mounting bar that can be fitted to any machine. On this bar, the operator can mount the required accessories, including a supplemental hydraulic system, should the hydraulic system of the tractor itself not be sufficient. The accessories are mounted to the bar using a corresponding mounting kit. Various types of mechanical weeding accessories are available and can be quickly attached to the bar using a quiuckmount system. This way, the setup of the accessories on the machine can swiftly be changed to meet the requirements of the job at hand
This machine can be used in different situations and meets a wide range of requirements. However, it is especially recommended for vineyards. The fact that the swing disk with blades, with a diameter of 45 cm or 55 cm, can be replaced with a rake, makes the Flaily machine with one swing disk the ideal solution to cut grass between rows as well as between one plant and the next. In particular, the rake ensures excellent results around plants, leaving no uncut grass and getting rid of root sprouts.
Compared to other cutting systems, the rake offers another great advantage that has a positive impact on costs: high driving speed.
The rake is fitted with a return spring that retracts if the rake hits an obstacle. The height can be adjusted and regulated with a screw or, on request, hydraulically. This makes sure the machine can be adapted easily and quickly to the work at hand.
The machine has proven effectiveness of this accessory on the field, demonstrating to be able to cut grass without damaging plants. The shaft’s revolutions, the type of string and other technical details make this machine suitable in every situation without the risk of damaging the fixtures on the ground (poles, etc.).
The option to control the rake rotation electronically makes it ideal even on
vineyards with young, reimplanted, vines.
Hectare/Hour optimisation - thanks to a very quick cutting speed compared to traditional systems - clean cut of the grass, flexibility and an extensive range of cutting options are just some of the advantages of using Flaily with two swing disks.
The machine is available with two swing disks (with a 45 cm or 55 cm diameter), or with two sets of rakes.
This machine offers all the advantages of a Flaily machine with rakes, with the additional benefit of allowing to cut grass by passing between rows only once, significantly reducing costs.
To work at their best even in particularly hot weather conditions, all Flaily machines with two swing disks come with a standard hydraulic oil cooling radiator. This ensures the oil maintains optimum temperature levels, avoiding the risk of it becoming too fluid and affecting the performance of the swing disks.
Distance between plants can be very limited, especially in vineyards. For this reason, Flaily machines can fit swing disks of different diameters: the 45 cm disk with star-shaped blade is ideal between narrow rows of plants, while the 55 cm disk can be used when the distance between plants reaches over 1 metre.
