When the warmer months roll around, mowing season kicks into high gear. Whether you’re maintaining municipal parks, trimming roadside ditches, or tackling overgrown embankments, having the right mower for the job makes all the difference.
Trackless offers three mower attachments that help you get the most out of your MT year-round: the Boom Flail Mower, Front Flail Mower, and Rotary Finishing Mower. Each one is built for different kinds of mowing—so let’s take a closer look at what makes them unique.
Boom Flail Mower: Built for the Tough Stuff
Every municipality has those hard-to-reach spots—steep slopes, ditches, pond edges, and overpasses—that regular mowers just can’t handle. That’s exactly where the Boom Flail Mower comes in.
With a long reach (13.5 feet vertically and horizontally) and the ability to mow below grade, this attachment makes it easy to clear tall grass, brush, hedges, and even small trees in those tricky areas. Plus, because it’s front-mounted, the operator has better visibility than with side- or rear-mounted boom mowers. That means safer, more efficient mowing—and less strain over a long day.

When you’re done, the Boom Flail can be removed in about 10 minutes, making it easy to switch to another attachment and head to the next job.

Front Flail Mower: Tough on Weeds, Smooth on Terrain
The Front Flail Mower is your go-to for cutting heavier grass, weeds, scrub, and light brush—especially in areas where a regular rotary mower would struggle.
What makes this one special is its flexibility. The attachment can pivot 10 degrees front-to-back and 13 degrees side-to-side, which means it follows the ground really well—even over knolls and dips. That gives you a more consistent cut and helps prevent missed patches.

Rotary Finishing Mower: Clean Cuts and Serious Coverage
If you’re mowing large open areas like sports fields, campuses, or city parks, the Rotary Finishing Mower is a great option. It’s all about getting a smooth, even cut—quickly.
The 6′ version is ideal for detailed trimming with rear discharge, while the larger 10′ and 14′ models are built for covering more ground in less time. The big models feature hydraulic-powered wings that fold out to extend your cut width, and they automatically shut off when raised—nice for safety and maneuverability.

Because the mower is mounted on the front of the MT, the operator has excellent visibility and precise control, especially in tighter spaces. And thanks to the hydrostatic transmission, you can easily adjust your mowing speed to match conditions.
Quick Specs:
-
6′, 10′ or 14′ cut widths
-
Front-mounted with articulated steering for close trimming
-
Flexible frame design to prevent scalping on uneven ground

Which Mower is Right for You?
Not sure which mower suits your needs best? It all comes down to the type of work you’re doing. If you’re dealing with steep ditches, embankments, or other hard-to-reach areas, the Boom Flail Mower is your best bet—it gives you exceptional reach and visibility right from the operator’s seat. For rougher terrain with heavy grass or light brush, the Front Flail Mower offers excellent flexibility and ground-following performance, making it ideal for uneven areas where a standard mower might miss spots. And if you’re mowing large open areas like sports fields, parks, or campuses, the Rotary Finishing Mower delivers a smooth, even cut with options for wide coverage, helping you get the job done faster and more efficiently.
The best part? Each of these attachments connects to the Trackless MT, so you’re not just buying a mower—you’re investing in a machine that can handle every season with the right tools.
