FLIPPER SUPER 186

The Del Morino Flipper Super 186 is an offset mulcher, made in Italy, the largest model in the Flipper Super line. Its construction allows the working head to shift sideways relative to the tractor, easing mowing along the edges of roads, ditches and fences without the tractor needing to drive over the terrain being worked. Working width is 186 cm (72”), while the overall machine width is 210 cm (82”), the largest in the line. Power is transmitted via a three-belt transmission with an automatic tensioner, which absorbs shock loads and extends belt life. The rotor is fitted with 56 Y-blades or 28 flails, depending on the configuration chosen, the most in the line, able to chop branches up to 5 cm in diameter. The gearbox is made of cast iron, runs at 540 rpm, and is fitted with a freewheel device that protects the drive system from kickback if the rotor suddenly stops. A blade counter eases monitoring and maintenance of the rotor during servicing. The machine mounts to the tractor via a 3-point hitch, categories 1 and 2. An additional roller, 160 mm in diameter, contributes to even terrain-following and controls mowing height. Machine weight is 515 kg, the highest in the line, in line with the widest working surface and greatest blade count. Required tractor power ranges from 50 to 80 HP, identical to the other models in the line, meaning a wider working width at the same tractor power results in greater working output per unit of time, making the Flipper Super 186 the most productive choice in the range for users with tractors at the upper end of the stated power range.
