A36 Mild Steel Housing

Rears 600-Series mowers are built with a robust 3/16" A36 Mild Steel Housing. Known for its reliability, the A36 material has a Brinell hardness of 150 and has stood the test of time, offering excellent wear resistance at an economical price.

AR400 Housing

The AR400 Hardened Alloy housing demonstrates superior performance with a Brinell hardness of 400. AR400 steel, used in constructing quarry loader buckets, has shown to triple the work life over high-strength T-1 steel.

FLMB500

Our self-aligning double spherical FLMB500 roller bearing is a top-tier performer, specifically designed for handling heavy loads and impact deflection. This rotor bearing demonstrates unmatched durability and reliability.

To protect the bearing from the harsh environment inside the flail, the engineers at Rears developed an integrated grease labyrinth barrier within the rotor mandrel. This barrier provides maximum protection and effectively isolates the bearing.

The design ensures that over-greasing is no longer a concern, as all excess lubricant is vented into the renewable labyrinth, thus purging any impurities that have been introduced during operation. This grease labyrinth also helps to keep the bearing cool under load.

FL290R7-EXT (Standard)

The Rears triple-sealed roller bearing is designed with anti-wrap protection, ensuring reliable performance and longevity. The pilot ring on the bearing housing is precisely mounted into a machined slot in the roller pivot plate. This piloted steel joint, rather than the bearing mount bolts, bears the weight of the flail, providing exceptional stability and durability. Adjusting your machine's cut height is straightforward. Simply rotate the pivot plate to achieve the desired position.

Oil Bath Roller

The self-aligning roller mount plates feature spherical inserts that align the roller shafts with the flail end-plates. These mount plates allow for easy roller height adjustments and do not contain bearings. The roller shaft acts as a stationary spindle within the bearing mount plate, while the roller assembly rotates around it, similar to a rolling pin. All bearings and seals are enclosed within the roller assembly, ensuring protection and durability. The heat-treated roller shaft can be easily removed and replaced if damaged.

Our heavy-duty DF seals are designed for severe service applications, such as mixers or grinders, where abrasives can significantly reduce seal life. These mechanical seals are built to withstand harsh conditions and provide reliable performance.

The protected bearing housing features bearings installed inside a quill that is nested within the roller. This design isolates the bearings from the external environment, allowing them to operate in an oil bath. The oil bath lubrication system ensures the bearings remain well-lubricated throughout operation and regular maintenance, eliminating the need for frequent replenishment.

Upright Belt Housing

The upright belt housing is the standard for the 600-Series Mower. Upright belt housings meausure 37-1/4". The upright belt housing is perfect for applications where overall flail height is not an issue (i.e. pasture mowing, offset flail mowing)

Low Profile Belt Housing

The low profile belt housing rocks the belt housing backwards and down to help avoid flail interference with fruit / canopy. The low-profile belt housing measures Low Profile: 28-1/4". The low profile belt housing is used commonly in vineyard & orchard applications.

Rears 600-Series Panto-Pak

Hydraulic pantograph option (0-18") available for widths from 7'-12'. Hydraulic offset is available for both Low-Profile and Upright Belt Housing configurations.

Forward and Reverse Rotation

Standard rotor rotation is opposite the direction of the tractor tire. This rotation may be reversed for Roadside Applications where Material Discharge is Hazardous.

A36 Weld-in Liner

A36 3/16" mild steel weld-in liner. This option lines the interior of the flail housing with a mild steel liner that is welded in at our facility. This is an economical option for a customer who won't mind cutting the liner out and replacing it at a later time.

A36 Bolt-In Liner

The A36 bolt-in liner option is a 3/16" mild steel liner that is bolted into the flail housing. This option is cheaper than the AR liner option while allowing for greater ease in replacement + installation than the weld-in liner options.

AR Weld-In Liner

The AR400 weld-in liner option is a 3/16" AR400 that is welded into the flail housing. This is our premium heavy duty Liner built for customers who plan to put the hours on their machines. AR400 measures 400 on the Brinell scale (A36 Measures 150)

AR Bolt-In Liner

The AR400 Bolt-in liner option is a 3/16" AR400 that is bolted into the flail housing. This is our premium heavy duty Liner built for customers who plan to put the hours on their machines. AR400 measures 400 on the Brinell scale (A36 Measures 150). The bolt-in liner allows for greater ease in replacement + installation than the weld-in liner options.

Shredder Package

Upgrading to an optional shredder package is a savvy move when you need that enhanced shred quality. The full-length angle shearbar and hard-surfaced shear channels aren't just fancy add-ons—they're game changers. By impacting small prunings and leaves, they grind material down into much finer particulates, which can significantly improve decomposition rates.
