Chain Mower FKR-1501
Presentation
Fransgård's new chain mower has been developed as a robust construction with many unique details that provide high flexibility and allow it to work efficiently in various demanding environments.
The mulcher can work in many different materials - everything from heavy grass to very dense shrubbery and smaller self-planted trees along forest roads. It can also be used for cutting hedges and branches hanging over roads.
Large working area with many technical features
The machine works up to 4.55 m from the centre of the tractor and can operate in a vertical position from 0-4 m in height and 35° downwards, where the flexible head allows you to work on both sides of a ditch from the same position (see the working area chart). The machine has an offset adjustment of 1.5 m.
The hydraulic cylinder for the mowing head can advantageously be in the floating position during work, as the machine then follows the ground perfectly. The machine is driven via a PTO axle and 2 powerful 3-track powerbelts with a double tightening function on the long belt. The drive line combined with PTO drive and 3-track powerbelt provides optimal operation and ensures minimal wear on the machine - even in the harshest environments.
The transport width is 2.5 m and the machine requires a tractor with a weight of 5 tonnes. Collision protection is standard equipment.

Gearbox, chain head
The chain head is mounted with a steel hub on the gearbox axle. The axle is well protected by the leg of the cast steel gearbox.
Gearbox
The gearbox is mounted on a reinforced mounting plate, which is fitted with a raised vent as standard.
Rubber cover
A durable 3-piece rubber cover mounted on the rear helps hold the material in place.
Adjustment bolt
The adjustment bolt for the large pulley ensures that you always have a 100% straight drive line on the powerbelt.
V-belt guard
Ventilated belt guard with a service hole to check if the belt is tightened.
Ball valve
The tilting cylinder is fitted with a locking valve with a handle, which is activated during transport and ensures that the machine does not swing out.
Chain head
All Fransgård chain mowers are fitted with 2 x 10 mm chains as standard. The chains are easily changed by knocking out the 2 pipe splitters.
Chain guard
The strong horns on each side of the front and the guard with reinforced edge guide the material into the machine. The guard has a chain fall as standard.
Locking valve
The offset adjustment cylinder has a locking valve, which ensures that the machine does not swing out during transport.
PTO hook
The 3-point suspension has a galvanised hook for the PTO axle when the machine is parked. The hook is easily turned away when the machine is working.
Collision protection
To relieve the machine from impact during work, the 3-point suspension has 3 compression spring that is released and pushes the machine back into place.
Belt tensioner 2
The external belt tensioner on the rear belt pushes a small wheel down the middle of the belt. There is also a guide wheel on this belt mounted in the middle.
Belt tensioner
The external belt tensioner makes it easy to tighten the belt.
Assembly bolts
All assembly bolts mounted on the FKR-1501 are galvanised.
Safety label
The chain mower is clearly marked with large yellow safety warnings.
Hose holder
Holder for hydraulic hoses is standard.
Slide rails
The Hardox-500 slide rails are designed to slide easily over tree stumps, etc.
Swivel joint
The greasable swivel is mounted on a heavy duty axle and 4 half bushes, which are made of special steel and mounted with greasable bolts.
Greasable joints
All rotating joints have the option of grease lubrication.
Support legs
The 4 support legs ensure stable parking of the machine and they are easily lifted up during work, so they are always accessible on the machine.
Tilt cylinder
The powerful cylinder ensures optimal operation from horizontal to vertical.
Top bar attachment
The top bar attachment on the FKR has both a fixed and an elongated hole. By using the elongated hole, the machine follows a hilly terrain better.
