Features
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.
The floating top link on the GM40E Series keeps the deck tracking over ground contours for a level and smooth cut.
High blade-tip speed and precise blade overlap work together to ensure exceptional strength, performance, and a quality cut.
The GM40E Series Grooming Mowers come with a 35 hp rated rugged gearbox.
To meet specific mowing needs, choose from two blade types:
- Low lift
- High lift (standard)
The deep deck design allows greater cutting volume and a cleaner cut. Offset Gauge Wheels are reducing grass tracks
An anti-scalping rear roller kit can be ordered as an attachment for field conversion for GM40E Series Grooming Mowers when not standard equipment. The roller is attached to the rear of the cutting deck to help reduce scalping.
Each kit contains one roller.
An anti-scalping front roller kit can be ordered as an attachment for field conversion for FM and GM Series Grooming Mowers when not standard equipment. The roller is attached to the front of the cutting deck to help reduce scalping.
Each kit contains one roller.
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.
