Cutting Height: Refers to the adjustable distance between the blades and the ground for precise cut control.
Blade Count: Refers to the number of blades mounted on the rotor, carefully matched to the mower’s size for balanced, efficient cutting performance.
Blade Speed: Refers to how fast the blades rotate on the rotor, impacting cutting performance, material discharge, and overall mowing effectiveness.
Hitch Type: Refers to the tractor category compatibility for the flail mower’s 3-point hitch system.
The WoodMaxx FM-96H PTO Flail mower with hydraulic sideshift is a versatile and high-performance agricultural equipment designed to efficiently maintain large areas of land. Equipped with a power take-off (PTO) system, it can be easily connected to a tractor’s PTO shaft, utilizing its power to drive the heavy-duty flail blades. The mower’s hydraulic sideshift feature allows operators to adjust the cutting position, enabling precise and effortless maneuvering around obstacles or along uneven terrain. With its robust construction, cutting width of 87 inches, and adjustable 1″-4″ cutting height, the WoodMaxx FM-96H provides reliable and consistent cutting results, making it an ideal choice for farmers, landowners, and landscaping professionals seeking a reliable and efficient flail mower.
NSK is a leading bearing and motion control manufacturing company founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1916. Today NSK has several plants around the world including England, Germany, USA and Switzerland and by far one the best quality bearings available on the market today. We feel that in an application with high load and dynamic forces such as a flail mower that such high quality bearings are required. These bearings are noticeably smoother, quieter, and cooler running than any competitor and far superior to any no-name brand. Some inferior bearings contain plastic interior ball cages that are susceptible to breakage from shock loads. Poor material and tolerances generate excessive heat that translates into premature bearing failure and even belt wear as the heat travel to the pulleys and the belts.
96.5″
1351 lbs. (mower weight only) PTO shaft weighs an additional 39 lbs.
50-90 HP
1/4″ Q235 roll formed steel for durability.
3/8″ Structural Q235 roll formed steel for durability.
Optional hammer or reversible double Y-Blades. WoodMaxx hammer blades are made from 40cr, alloy structural steel. (American standard, AISI/SAE/ASTM steel no: 5140) and forged to a tapered wedge shape to avoid material buildup on the blades. Each blade weighs 2.5 lbs. (cast steel is much more durable than cast iron) competitors use flat face blades. The reversible double Y-blades are made from .24″ 60si2mn, spring steel, (American standard: A29m) formed, heat treated, and quenched in oil and weigh 2 lbs. each. Use the hammer blades for clearing saplings (1″ diameter or less), and the Y-blades for grasses.
The blades are staggered precisely with no gap in the mowing area. Blade overlap is important to achieve an even cutting result.
This allows for easy inspection, cleaning, blade changing, and maintenance of your machine. The rear gate can also be left open for easier discharge in heavy conditions, or you can close the gate to greater mulching.
The rotor spins in the opposite direction as the wheels of the tractor when traveling forward. This allows the blades to shear the material as it is folded forward by the mowers. The material is then thrown up and over the rotor.
5″- Heavy duty 3/8″ wall tubing for long life.
The rotor tube is balance to reduce vibration and ensures that the mower runs smooth, and reduces wear on the bearings.
The V-belt pulleys are heavy duty cast iron and balance to eliminate vibration and run smooth.
Large swing so that the blades build required inertia.
2160 RPM
Shifted left (39.5″L/57″R), shifted right (26″L/71″R). This feature allows for variable offset from the center to the right of the tractor. This feature is helpful for mowing around fences, buildings, walkways, etc. NOTE: Requires rear hydraulic remotes on tractor. We cannot supply these if your tractor does not already have them, they must be dealer or factory installed. (Hose ends that connect to the tractor are fitted with 1/2-14 NPTF threads, you will have to provide the corresponding fittings to complete the connection to your tractor.)
4 Total B-series USA gates belts – we use only USA made gates belts on our flail mowers for long life. (Easy to find SAE standard belt size BX39)
Solid state automatic – this feature automatically adjust the belt tension so you don’t have to worry about slippage or overworking the belts. This feature greatly increases the belt life.
540 ONLY
Up to 55 hp. heavy duty proven oil bath gearbox for long life.
Cast iron 540 RPM with internal over-running clutch – when the PTO shaft is disengaged the built in over running clutch allows the PTO shaft to stop turning while the gearbox and rotor shaft slow down gradually. This is an important feature, without it, the gearbox will slam to a halt when the PTO is disengaged, causing stress to the gearbox and your tractor. This feature should not be overlooked when shopping for a mower.
The skid shoes reduce gouging are bolt on so you can adjust or replace them easily when the time comes.
1-3/8″ 6 spline w/slip clutch.
Accessible greaseable bearings for easy maintenance.
6.75″ with tapered ends – this roller contacts the ground to ensure even cutting height. The ends of this roller are rounded to eliminate gouging when turning corners. A scraper bar ensures that mud and debris buildup is cleaned off as you go.
A robust machine with an equally robust warranty. View our warranty policy here.

I’ve only used the machine for a short time, but I am impressed with the construction and how heavy duty it is. I have also been impressed by the service and support I have received from the sales, shipping and service personnel I have talked to – and that’s important to me. I had some extra delivery coordination issues and Tony handled them well. I had some minor touch-up issues from shipping, and they were handled quickly. I had some start-up questions about the machine setup and Dave was quick to respond. I really think I will like the mower, and I am happy to have purchased from a company like Woodmaxx. I’m looking at their woodchipper now.
Great mower! Well balance and appears well built. Would highly recommend!
I wish I could give it 6 stars! This is an extremely heavy-duty mulching machine, and it will serve me well on my 40 acres.
I was impressed by how heavy this mower is built. My pasture looks better than it ever did in the past. The grass that the cows don’t eat is nicely mulched.
Great machine. Quiet, efficient, heavy. I like the hydraulic side shift. Good price, good buying experience.
