Winton 1.45m Hydraulic Offset Tractor Flail Mower W‑HF145

The W-HF145 is the mid-size deck in Winton's hydraulic-offset flail range. At 1.45m it takes a wider bite than the 1.25m model, but stays inside the lift and frame budget of a tidy compact tractor — the sensible step up when the smallest deck feels slow and the 1.75m feels heavy.

Reach past the wheel track

The hydraulic side-shift A-frame slides the deck offset from the driver's seat. Run one double-acting spool to the two hoses and you can mow tight to hedgerows, fence lines and around standing trees without climbing down. Grass and weeds only — this isn't a hedge cutter.

Knock-down to lawn finish

24 hammer-style blades sit in a spiral pattern around the rotor, chopping finer than a rotary topper and coping better with uneven ground. Drop in for overgrown paddock growth, then come back later at 3 cm for a sports-field finish once it's under control.

Height control on rough ground

The rear roller adjusts up or down with the top link to set finish height and stop the blades scalping over bumps. Twin side skids back it up. Cutting range runs 3–8 cm.
