AFM4522 Model
LED lights are bright, long lasting, and resistant to vibration, unlike incandescent
counterparts.
Spreads grass clippings more evenly. Wing decks throw grass away from the rear
deck. Rear deck doesn't get covered up nor does it get bogged down by cut grass.
Transport width allows unit to be transported with ease.
Eliminates blade skips when turning. Tighter turns can be made.
Design allows operator to make tighter turns without leaving windrows and skips.
The AFM virtually becomes a zero turn mower.
When wings are raised in the full transport position, the wings lock in place. No
need to get off the tractor to lock. Pull rope from tractor seat to unlock.
Large Transport tires offer smooth roading and less grass compaction. Allows grass
to stand up. Tapered roller bearings offer longevity.
Allows a spindle to be replaced by simply removing two bolts.
Allows tighter turns without skips.
Rigid wheel yokes holds hills and slopes better. Safer unit than the competition.
Optional 15" (38.1 cm) tires for great flotation or 18" (45.7 cm) tires for even greater
flotation. The larger the tire the less compaction in pounds per square inch allowing
grass to stand up. Sealant in the tires minimizes flats.
Gives the cutter gauge wheel arms a great deal of "hidden" strength.
The lower the pivot points are to the ground, the more side to side swing, allowing
for excellent flotation from each deck.
Safety features meet ANSI standards. Many competitors use chains for protection.
Once chains are removed the unit may not meet ANSI specifications.
Even dispersal, discharged items are always aimed downward. No rear chains are
needed, which tend to clump damp grass.
Constant velocity main driveline allows for tighter turns without harming U-joints in
driveline.
Reduces start-up torque that is put on the driveline, gearbox, and gearbox support.
Guards against premature gearbox failure. Protects mower deck spindles.
Handles start up torque.
65 - 100 horsepower (48.5 - 74.6 kW)
S/N 368187- one year on all gearbox components
S/N 368188+ 5 years on gearbox housing, gears, and shafts,
3 years on bearings and seals on gearbox.
No guards to remove for routine greasing of blade spindles.
Uses less horsepower and allows material to escape the mower deck easier. The
discharge of the material is more even. Design eliminates windrowing.
Applies constant tension to belt to run efficiently.
Easily release belt tension for changing belt or for winter storage.
(18,498 fpm) (94 mps) Lifts the grass up for a clean cut and efficient discharge of
material. Tip rates as high or higher than the competition.
Low Lift - Highly recommended in sandy soils where lifting isn't crucial. Disturbs
the soil very little, allowing blades to wear longer.
Medium Lift - Medium suction for lifting grass. Requires less horsepower
than high lift.
High Lift - Greatest suction for lifting grass before cutting. Can take higher
horsepower in tall dense grass. Not recommended in sandy soils.
Mulching - Perfect for leaf mulching.
