ALAMO INDUSTRIAL EAGLE 20/14 ROTARY MOWER Alamo Industrial Eagle 20/14 rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 3-1/2” diameter in areas such as pastures and along highway right-of-ways. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective.
Page 103: Standard Equipment And Specifications
*Safety Deflectors are standard equipment. Single and double chain guards are available as extra equipment at extra cost. Alamo Industrial recommends mowers be equipped with deflectors or double chain guards for all mowing purposes. Single chain guards may be used for agriculture purposes only and are specifically not recommended for highway, right-of-way, parks or greenbelt mowing.
