The Frame design along with our main constant velocity driveline, allows BEFCO’s Cyclone Super-Flex mowers to circle trees and obstacles in one pass where competitors require multiple passes.
The heavy duty main four way gearbox on the unit is manufactured by BEFCO and equipped with SKF® bearings to ensure quality and durability.
Individual gearboxes are also manufactured by BEFCO and come equipped with spiral gears that ensure better power transmission, increase longevity and reduce noise.
Manual belt tensioner maintains constant tension on belts without stretching them like a typical spring loaded idler would. This means that belts last much longer and there is no spring loaded idler that needs to be disassembled at the end of the mowing season to prevent it from stretching the belts during the winter months.
Two heavy duty reinforced belts (SPBX) with manual tensioner provide over 180° coverage of all pulleys and reduce belt maintenance.
Heavy duty, individually balanced cast iron pulleys are more durable than steel or plastic ones often used by competitors and do not get damaged whenever serviced.
Spindles are quipped with axial grease fittings that allow operator to grease spindle from the top without having to remove the belt shields.
Only BEFCO mowers are equipped with reinforced stamped steel wheel arms. These wheel arms are stronger than the ones made of bent tubing used by the competition and always guarantee a perfectly even surface for the mower to rest on.
The telescopic wings on the mowers allow for adjustable cutting width to increase or decrease mower overlap.
Mower decks are secured to the main transport frame using a double pivot floating linkage that allows each deck to independently float side to side or front to back.
All Super-Flex mowers are equipped standard with front antiscalp rollers to help prevent scalping the ground when mowing over uneven terrain.
Hexagonal yokes on the front tires of the rear mower deck prevent the mower from sliding when going over slopes.
All Cyclone Super-Flex gang grooming mowers are equipped with 13″x6.5″ pneumatic tires with maintenance free sealed bearings.
Mowers that use traditional cotter pins often lose them when the mower gets too close to a bush. This not only causes the loss of the pin but may also cause the loss of the height adjustment spacers and in some cases even the wheel yokes.
For this reason, BEFCO designed and manufactured a pin that will stay securely fastened under almost any circumstances.
Mowers are equipped with chain shields to provide additional safety from thrown objects.
All Super-Flex gang mowers are equipped with Bearing Buddy®, bearing protectors on the transport tires. Bearing protectors make it easy to visually check the amount of grease inside grease packed hubs. The internal spring piston exerts about 3 PSI against the grease to ensure that no moisture enters the hub. When properly maintained, there are no voids inside the hub where condensation can form during winter storage.
The compact transport widths and heights allow these mowers to be transported on narrow roads, bridges and tunnels.
