FLIPPER 106

The Del Morino Flipper 106 is a mulcher, made in Italy, the second-smallest model in the standard Flipper line. It's fixed-centred relative to the tractor, unlike the offset Flipper Super line. Working width is 106 cm (42”), while the overall machine width is 130 cm (52”). Power is transmitted via a three-belt transmission with an automatic tensioner. The rotor is fitted with 32 Y-blades or 16 flails, depending on the configuration chosen, able to chop branches up to 5 cm in diameter. The gearbox is made of cast iron, runs at 540 rpm, is fitted with a freewheel device and a through-shaft allowing further drive transfer to a potential additional attachment. The rear roller is height-adjustable, allowing precise control of mowing height. The machine mounts to the tractor via a 3-point hitch, categories 1 and 2. Machine weight is 200 kg, somewhat more than the 80 model (176 kg), in line with the wider working surface and greater blade count. Required tractor power remains in the same wide 15 to 70 HP range as all models in the line, confirming that working width here primarily affects working output rather than the minimum tractor-power requirement. This characteristic lets the user choose mulcher size based on the area to be worked, without worrying whether the available tractor has enough power. The rear roller's height adjustment further allows mowing height to be tailored to specific needs — lower for lawn maintenance, higher for denser, woodier vegetation without overloading the rotor.
