Müthing MU-C/S - Fitting Cutting Flails and Shredding Bars

38 Instruction manual – MU-C/S
Fitting the correct cutting flail.
Various cutting flails can be used depending on the vegetation (grass, harvest remains, twigs and
woody materials, bushes with various foreign objects, but in most cases the original Müthing “M”
scoop flail has proved itself more than adequate for all the above operations.
Müthing “M” scoop flail
The Müthing “M” scoop flail with its wide, self-sharpening straight cutting edge is the
middleweight at 350 g and has no trouble cutting material up to 1 cm thick.
This tool’s reinforced lug in an extremely strong flail makes it virtually fracture-proof; the shackle and
the special tool mountings together mean that this tool is very good at avoiding objects to the rear
and at the same time, its weight-induced centrifugal force lends it a high degree of stability and
enables it to produce a high-quality cut.
We recommend that you use this design of flail when it is essential for the cut always to be parallel
with the ground, such as when grass has to be cut short.
It is also important to note that ground with a high foreign object content, as found on stony ground
or when working along road edges, can limit the effectiveness of the “M” scoop flail. In these
circumstances it has proved beneficial to use one of the following variations.
Müthing “M” tungsten carbide hammer flail
The highly-tempered “M” tungsten carbide flail with its wide, polished and self-sharpening straight
cutting edge is the middleweight at 350 g (without flail), which can easily cut material up to 1.0 cm
thick .
Its double leg linkage in an extremely strong flail makes it virtually fracture-proof; the shackle and
the special tool mountings together mean that this tool is very good at avoiding objects to the rear
and the side and, at the same time, its weight-induced centrifugal force lends it a high degree of
stability and enables it to produce a high-quality cut.
This “M” flail is suitable for all jobs requiring an even, clean cut, good fragmentation, material
reduction and a high throughput.
Nevertheless, under difficult working conditions, this quality of work may have higher energy
requirements and/or require you to adjust to slower driving and working speeds, so that the machine
can function well and economically.
