Eterra EX-30 Excavator Flail Mower
Description
Introducing the new and improved V2 model of the EX-30 Excavator Flail Mower – a top-of-the-line Flail Mower that is built for clearing grass and tough brush up to 6” along roadsides, ditches, and other hard-to-reach areas. The EX-30 Flail Mower is equipped with 20, 2lb Y Knife flail blades that are powered by a Permco Hydraulic Gear Motor. The blade life expectancy is up to 500 hours with normal use (No rock impacts). Additional blades and parts are always available as backups with your initial order or to purchase later as needed.
Now let's talk about the improvements to this unique and high-quality attachment: Eterra has consistently evolved and prioritized customer feedback, striving not only to maintain but to elevate its renowned quality. The drive shaft material has been updated for improved durability and reduced wear from impact. The housing design has been modified to improve rigidity and strength, this reduces flex in the housing which directly improves cutting performance. These enhancements ensure that this mower sets a new standard in the market for reliability and longevity.
The V2 model also boasts our new standard rail mounting system that is compatible with all new Eterra excavator products. For existing products and mounts, adaptors will be available for purchase. The new mount system features a stronger design and easier installation.
This mower is designed for excavators that weigh 7,000-14,000 lbs. with a flow range of 8-26 GPM. If this model doesn't fit the requirements of your machine, visit the EX-30M model that is rated for 2,200-7,000 lb. machines or the EX-40 model that is rated for 9,000-20,000 lb. machines.
Optional add-ons like the thumb saddle and chain guard are available to purchase for increased versatility and protection.
Note: Every excavator is different. Older models often utilize two pumps: one for stick and rotation control, and another for track drive and auxiliary flow (your mower). For machines that have this type of pump arrangement, it is not possible to drive the machine forward and cut at the same time. However, newer machines like Kubota and select Yanmar models boast three pumps, enabling simultaneous cutting and movement. For clarification on your machine's setup and capabilities, don't hesitate to contact our sales team for personalized assistance.

“I have had my EX30 mower for 3 yrs and it is an awesome machine. It goes on my bobcat 341 mini excavator and I use it for maintaining my driveway banks and other areas including at my son, daughter and mother in laws houses. It is really effective on the briars and grapevines. I have picked up a few side jobs with in which have helped to pay for it. A great tool for me as retiree who just can't do that physical work anymore.”

“Received unit exactly as expected in my driveway. Quick attach mount for Yanmar VIO 35B hooked up perfect. Performed exactly as advertised. I can clear brush quickly with this flail mower head on my compact excavator. Great for clearing around large mowed acerage into woods treeline. Reaches under and aroung trees. I would recommend this unit to others with similar size excavator”

“The ex30 on my kubota kx121 is a mowing machine. Super light weight keeps the pucker factor low on steep hillsides.”

“Makes very quick work of small willow and poplar. Works best in freezing temperatures when material is a bit stiffer. I've actually even been able to chip up to 6" willow. For my application of cutting willows and cat tails works very well. Customer service was very good.”

“I am very pleased with the EX 30 mower for our Bobcat 341 excavator. It is a real backsaver and eliminates a lot of weedwacker and brushsaw work. It is unbelievably effective in patches of grapevines, sumack and briars.”
