DescriptionWhy buy the Chapman FM120 Flail Mower?

Reliable Honda engine plus extremely robust build quality with fine attention to detail ensures these mowers withstand years of use.

Designed for the full range of topping and mowing tasks, from thick dense rushes to fine topping of parkland, our range of Flail Mowers can tackle anything thrown at them.

• 1.2m Cut Width
• 21hp Honda V Twin
• Electric Start
• 22x11x8” Tyres
• Heavy duty Steel Y Flails
• Centrifugal Clutch
• Strenx® Cutting Deck
• 15 Litre Fuel Tank


POWER & PERFORMANCE
Chapman use industry-leading 21hp Honda GX630 V-Twin Engines, which offer unparalleled power and performance. All machines are fitted with a heavy-duty rear roller to prevent scalping.
The compact design of the FM Series self-powered flail topper keeps the mass low to the ground for stability and allows cutting easily beneath trees and overhanging branches.

CLEAN & RELIABLE
The FM Series are fitted as standard with a centrifugal clutch, allowing for safe & efficient operation from the towing machine.
The centrifugal clutch gives automatic drive engagement and disengagement, and combined with the automatic tensioning assembly reduces maintenance by compensating for belt wear and belt loading.

UNIQUE ROTOR DESIGN
Chapman's innovative rotor design incorporates a solid 40mm diameter drive shaft right through the centre of the rotor with a structural grade 90mm diameter outer tube, onto which the flail lugs are welded in a spiral pattern.
This unique design transfers cutting power more efficiently from the engine to the cutting heads, giving a cleaner cut and better performance in tough situations. Furthermore the rotor incorporates dedicated bearing guards designed to prevent string and wire damaging the bearings.

CLASS LEADING
The FM Series feature heavy duty steel ‘Y’ flails for a clean and effective cut whatever your scenario.
Simple height adjustment for ease of use and heavy duty & robust B Section drive belts for low maintenance ownership, complete the package for this class leading ATV Flail Mower.

Optional Extras:
FRONT BREAK BAR
Tubular fender bar to protect wheels and feed tall material (eg. bracken, reeds) into the mower smoothly

CUTTER BAR
Fixed cutter bar within the deck to increase mulching and reduce chop size, for faster cut material de-composition.

TWIN BOGIE AXLE
Replaces standard axle assembly with rocking beam axle with two wheels (per side), for smoother travel over rough terrain. Can only be used with the wheels to the side, cannot be used with wheels trailing.

FORGED HAMMER FLAILS
Forged hammer flails are considerably heavier, harder and give a better finish when cutting tough material eg. reeds, bracken. Higher rotational mass improves mower performance when encountering heavy clumps of material.

I have used a Chapman FM120 flail mower since I purchased it new in 2014 and it’s been an excellent, reliable and efficient mower for my horse paddock, regularly used every year and following the first cut after the winter dealing with new growth of docks, thistles, nettles and coarse grass etc. It’s very easy to set up and use behind my quad bike with a 50mm ball hitch. The heavy duty British design and manufacturing cannot be faulted as I have had no issues over the years and the Honda electric start engine is as powerful as the day I bought it and starts first time, every time. I’ve just bought a replacement set of flail drive belts (a matched pair, replaced as just stretched with normal use and age) and again, the usual engine servicing parts and am pleasantly surprised and pleased at the competitive prices and the friendly, responsive and comprehensive after-sales service is second to none! Same day replies and shipment overnight! I’ve seen a number of cheaper imports appear and disappear over the years at various Agri shows (and I did a comparison in 2014 before I purchased the FM) and I have still not seen any mower to compare to the Chapman especially for frame strength, features, quality of components and the build quality excels. In short, as is always the case when it comes to value for money, you get what you pay for. Well done and proud to support British manufacturing!

The strength and size of the mulcher was absolutely amazing, we quickly made the purchase there and then!!! Since then, we have been out mulching everyday with it and all I can say is, WOW, this machine is bulletproof!

I can’t fault the machine for build quality and strength – it powered through the highest of rushes and left the paddock spotless. When coming over a big clump of rush all you have to do is slow down and give it a chance and it mulches right through it. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone and the extra money spent compared with the other brands is more than worth it for a quality machine.

Fanstastic machine. I use the flail to cut horse paddocks and the local rugby club pitch both situations it does a fanstastic job. Great service back up from Chapman. Great to support a British manufacture.

It started first turn of the key and cut perfectly for a hour and a half. This machine is a credit to your company and everyone who works there, the high quality, workmanship, and finish of the unit, and your professionalism throughout my purchase has made the whole transaction a dream so thanks to you and your entire team.
