Swing arm mowers for mowing around trees and posts
A swing arm mower has a hydraulically driven blade disc that swings away when it touches a tree, post or vine and returns automatically. Besides rotary mowers with a swing disc, PERFECT – Van Wamel offers separate swing arms under the name Solo-Swing, and the Duo-Swing for both sides of the row.
Why choose a PERFECT Solo-Swing
- Almost unlimited mounting options: the hydraulic drive lets you add a Solo-Swing to a rotary mower, flail mower or mini loader, or to the front or rear of a tractor.
- Spring mechanism as standard: a hydraulic feeler is available for hilly terrain, young plantings and thin posts.
- Safety: thanks to the blade guard, the PERFECT Solo-Swing is one of few machines in its class that meets the CE standard.
- Constant capacity: a ball-bearing support saucer under the blades keeps them from slowing down on uneven ground.
Solo-Swing and Duo-Swing models
- SZA: Solo-Swing to attach to an existing mower.
- SZS: Solo-Swing for the 3-point linkage.
- SZX: Solo-Swing with large blade disc for the front linkage.
- Duo-Swing: mows both sides of the grass strip around trees or vines in one pass, with a hydraulic working width from 2 to over 4.5 m.
