Shoulder Mowers
Shoulder Mowers are featured on the Massey Ferguson VMS® 5425/ 5455 and Challenger RMS® 465B lines of tractors.
These mowers are used for governmental roadside maintenance. The mid-mounted shoulder (wing type) mowers are hydraulically driven using an independent reservoir that is isolated from the tractor.
The mower is attached to the tractor via an integrated PowerFrame. The frame is designed to minimize the torsional loading on the tractor, thus extending the life of the tractor. The frame can be installed by an Little Authorized Dealer or by Little at one of our installation locations.
One of the unique characteristics of the Little Shoulder Mower is the direct acting rotary cylinder used for angular positioning of the head. The rotary actuator eliminates push-pull cylinders and linkages for improved reliability and reduced maintenance. The actuator has a massive bearing area, with hydraulically pressurized thrust bearings to take the load.
These mowers are provided in either 5’ or 6’ widths. Shafts and knives are available that feature superior cutting of grass to light brush. Shoulder Mowers are commonly combined with Pull Behind mowers to increase mowing width to a maximum of 14’ full cut.
The Single-sided mower offers a transport storage position that securely fixes the head to the tractor for roading of the unit. The head is positioned forward of the cab to meet the maximum transport width requirements.
Operator visibility, control, and stability are hallmarks of Little's Shoulder Mowers. These mowers provide the best solution in the industry. |
