Description
BRABER GIRAFFAS140 3-Point PTO Boom Mower is a professional offset mowing system designed for ditch maintenance, banks, verges, and other areas where a conventional rear-mounted mower cannot easily reach. This MAS-GIRAFFAS140 mower uses a Maschio Giraffa-style 3-point boom flail configuration, a side belt drive, and a fixed Category 1 hitch. With a 57-inch working width, adjustable mowing angle from +90° to −65°, and a 20–35 PTO HP requirement, it is suited to compatible compact and utility tractors equipped with a 540 RPM PTO and four hydraulic ports. The machine is fitted with standard hammers for general vegetation management and incorporates protective and material-control features including front safety shields, skid shoes, a full-width roller, upper toothed counter-blades, and lower counter-blades.
Professional Offset Flail Mowing
The GIRAFFAS140 is built for mowing applications that require reach and angle adjustment rather than simple straight-behind cutting. Its boom-mounted flail head can be positioned through a +90° to −65° mowing range, supporting work on sloped ground, along ditch sides, and beside areas where maintaining the tractor’s position is important. The fixed Category 1 three-point hitch provides the tractor connection, while the side belt drive transfers power to the cutting rotor.
The mower’s 57-inch working width provides efficient coverage for routine vegetation control. A full-width roller helps support the cutting head during operation, while skid shoes assist with head positioning. Front safety shields and counter-blades contribute to controlled cutting and material handling. The standard rotor configuration includes 28 hammers. The mower can cut material up to 3/4 inch thick, although actual cutting capacity varies according to tractor PTO horsepower and material density.
