DescriptionWhy buy the Winton W‑FM180 Finishing Mower?
If you're maintaining large areas of regularly cut grass and want fewer passes per session, the W-FM180 is the widest mower in Winton's finishing range. At 1.8m it eats through pitches and outfields the narrower siblings would take longer to clear, and it's matched to a 25–55 HP tractor rather than a sub-compact.
Built for level, well-kept turf
This is a finishing mower, not a topper. 3 blades run a rotary cut and discharge to the rear, spreading clippings evenly behind the deck for a close, tidy finish on sports turf, fairways and ornamental lawns. Save it for ground that's already in regular maintenance — long or neglected grass isn't its job.
Follows the ground, stays clear of the tractor
Floating linkage lets the deck ride contours and gradients without scalping. Lower link-arm extensions push the mower back from the tractor so the wheels don't foul, and 4 height-adjustable wheels set the cut anywhere between 3.5 and 8 cm.
- 1.8m working width — widest in the W-FM family, fewer passes across a pitch or outfield
- 25–55 HP tractor range via PTO drive, Cat 1 linkage
- 3.5–8 cm cutting height set by 4 height-adjustable wheels with an upgraded profile over standard castors
- 3 blades, rear discharge for even clipping dispersal behind the deck
- Belt-driven — 2 drive belts power the blades, with belt tensioning built in
- Floating linkage with lower link-arm extensions to clear the tractor's rear wheels
- 202 kg, 160 × 190 × 75 cm, with simple-access grease points for quick servicing
- Optional W-FM180 Roller available as an upgrade (not included)

Review Your Winton W‑FM180
The mower has been great. Many thanks to you all.
This is a fabulous piece of equipment
I bought the machine to replace a flail collector that, although did a reasonable job, was way too heavy for the lawned finish that I was aiming for. I also bought the rear roller attachment that helped prevent the castor wheels doing any damage and the finish now is excellent. If I was being picky, I think that the blade alignment could be better as one of the blades cuts shorter than the other two but nothing major. I'd also like the ability to add a second roller to the front of the mower but understand that may not be ideal for everyone. All in all, I'm very pleased with the performance and considering the price point, this is a fabulous piece of equipment.
I would buy another one if I needed
The machine has worked well overall. Used it with the extension arms up until October 23 when the lower one snapped in two. Read the book and found it could run without them and it missed our tyres. The fingers on the back are all bent as operator reverses under bushes with it down and they get caught on the ground. Apart from these things I would buy another one if I needed. 4/5 just for the snapped arm.
Hi Nigel, thank you for the detailed feedback. I'm glad you're getting on well even after removing the extension arms - I've contacted you via email to help rectify the broken extension. It's best practice to raise the machine off the ground when reversing, but I understand why this hasn't been done when under bushes. An easy way to straighten the rear grass-dispersing 'fingers' is to close an adjustable spanner over the steel and make a firm but careful adjustment.
Well-made machine thanks
Purchased the Winton WFM120 in June 2024 and it is a good piece of kit, its been given a lot of use over the last 18 months and has proven to be very reliable
The machine does everything we wanted it to do
The machine does everything we wanted it to do we have 5 acres of grass land and with the roller attachment it looks great Many thanks with your prompt delivery as well
Excellent
Very pleased with this mower. It manages long grass well and copes with a faster ground speed than I was expecting. All in all very impressed.
Great machine, would recommend this bit of kit to eveyone

Very good very quick
Its use results in a good smooth cut
Generally I am happy with my Winton WFM120 1.2m PTO Finishing Mower. Its use results in a good smooth cut although it does not throw out the mown grass as well as I would like but this may be due to the contours of my garden. It is a good width allowing 2 people to comfortably walk side by side yet doesn't waste valuable planting space. I do struggle manhandling (girlhandling) it a bit when attaching it to my tractor linkage, I think this is due to the arm of the mower being solid with no movement and quite close to the wheels although I assume this is restricted by the width of the machine I use. On the whole I would give it a 4 out of 5.
I am very pleased with my Winton Mower
I am very pleased with my Winton Mower— it does the job I have for it. So that’s a plus. And yes, if someone has a similar use for it I would certainly suggest they get one.
