INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a product from Kellfri AB. Compliance with the safety instructions, operating
manual and sound common sense will guarantee many years of enjoyment using the product.

country-dwellers who have stringent performance demands.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The FDM240 rotary disc mower is a practical tool for you if you have larger grasslands, and you want
a simple way of mowing grass for feed or hay. The rotary disc mower is designed and adapted to
enable you to mow your elds gently and eectively. The rotary disc mower has a working width
of 2.4 m.
The mower is equipped with six oval rotary discs that cut the grass eectively, with better cutting
performance that gives good growth. There are two raised rotary discs with guide blades in
each outer edge, which raise the throughow speed and ensure that the crop ows freely without
interruption. Individual skids under each disc protect the cutterbar, which lies well balanced and
very lightly against the ground. The cutting height is 0-100 mm.
The rotary disc mower is tted with a protective cover over the whole cutterbar, protecting both
the tractor and the surroundings from stone chippings and grass spray.
The protective frame around the cutterbar is constructed of a single frame which gives stable
support to the entire protective frame and protective cover. The protective frame can also be
folded open during maintenance.
The cutterbar is tted with gliding plates at both ends.
The machine is equipped with a stone ejector as collision protection, which ejects backwards at
an angle in order to reduce stresses in a collision.
Adjustable relief springs relieve the pressure of the rotor cutterbar against the ground to minimise
damage to the ground. The rotary disc mower has a hydraulic raising function with a manual lock
for a secure transport mode. The transport width is no wider than the tractor.
Geometrical and powerful energy transmission from PTO to cutterbar by means of ventilated belt
drive and bevel gear.
