Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This AFM40 All-Flex Grooming Mower has been
designed with care and built by skilled workers using
quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and
safe operating practices will help you get years of
satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The 11, 14, and 16 foot All-Flex Mowers are designed
and built by Land Pride to provide excellent cutting
quality and performance on lush type turf grasses that
arelocatedon expansive and well manicuredareassuch
as sports fields, theme parks, fairways, turf farms, and
large estates.
The AFM4011 requires attachment to a 30-65 hp turf
tractor while the AFM4014 and AFM4016 will deliver
excellent performance when attached to 40-70 hp
tractors. All AFM models are adapted for attachment to
540 rpm pull-type draw bar. They can be ordered with
slip-clutch or conventional wing driveline configurations.
The mower offers independent deck flotation and zero
turning radius due to the sleek frame design. When you
need to transport one of these mowers from one mowing
site to another on a public street or right-of-way the
hydraulic wing cylinders will easily lift up the wing decks
for a 5’-6" transport width on the AFM4011 or 6’-8"
transport width on the AFM4014 and AFM4016
mowers.The contour following capability, highly
productive cutting widths, and rear discharge design of
the floating cutting decks will greatly reduce wide-area
cutting times and still deliver finely groomed surfaces at
mowing speeds from 2-6 mph.
See “Section 6: Specifications & Capacities” and
“Section 7: Features & Benefits” for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
