When it comes to effectively managing farmland, vineyards, or green spaces, a flail mower is an indispensable machine.
At Sicma, we design a wide range of flail mowers built to tackle any challenge—from weeds to shrubs—ensuring sustainable soil management. These robust and versatile machines are the ideal choice for those seeking an efficient and durable solution.
A flail mower—also known as a grass shredder, shoot shredder, or stalk shredder, depending on the vegetation involved—cuts, chops, and shreds spontaneous and invasive herbs, small shrubs, shoots, pruning and cultivation residues, stalks, and any other organic material present on the ground.
It can also be used to mow green manure crops that will later be left on the soil or incorporated by subsequent tillage.
Beyond cutting and shredding, the flail mower evenly distributes plant residues over the soil, creating a mulch composed of finely chopped plant material that decomposes and returns nutrients to the soil.
Using a flail mower offers numerous advantages:
Its use is ideal for anyone who needs rapid, effective soil maintenance while remaining environmentally sustainable.
Because it acts mechanically on unwanted grass and shrubs, the flail mower is an irreplaceable machine for organic farming, eliminating the need for herbicides.
A machine that combines efficiency and environmental protection.
The correct flail mower for your needs depends on the intended use and the goal you want to achieve.
At Sicma, we have developed and built a wide range of flail mowers—fixed, movable, reversible, of various weights and powers—to ensure optimal results on every type of terrain and for every kind of job.
Sicma flail mowers offer a unique combination of efficiency and durability, with solutions suited both for regular maintenance and for complex operations.
Here are the main advantages:
Each Sicma flail mower is made with high-quality materials and components engineered for high performance.
The rotor—the core working element—is designed with a helical tool distribution to enhance cutting efficiency and deliver the best possible performance.
Moreover, we offer the possibility to choose the appropriate tools (different types of hammers and knives) to suit your specific needs and the type of work required. These range from tools designed for grass, shrubs, and green-space maintenance, to those for medium-sized shrubs, shoots, straw, stalks, and pruning, up to tools for medium-large pruning in vineyards and olive groves.
