Hydraulic side shift for flexible ground maintenance

Using the hydraulic side shift, the mower can be moved to the left and right. This makes it much easier to work around edges, fences, ditches, paths, and obstacles.

This function requires a hydraulic control circuit on the tractor, as the mower is equipped with a double-acting hydraulic cylinder for this purpose.

Powerful mulching performance with 22 hammer blades

The 22 specially hardened hammer blades, each weighing approximately 1.2 kg, are arranged in a spiral pattern around the drive shaft and reduce the cut material to a minimum.

Even very tall grass, bushy, or straw-like cuttings are no problem for this mower. The high flywheel mass ensures reliable performance and a clean mulching result.

Double-spiral rotor for smooth operation

The double spiral rotor ensures exceptionally smooth operation and a long service life with significantly less effort thanks to its even rotor load.

As a result, the VMA-240 operates with less vibration and more evenly, while also protecting the drive components.

Maintenance-Friendly Design

The flip-up maintenance hatch provides easy access to the hammer shaft. This makes replacing the hammer blades and performing routine maintenance particularly convenient.

Important Note: According to German occupational safety regulations (UVV), the maintenance hatch must remain closed during mowing operations to prevent stones or clippings from escaping.

Heavy-Duty Rear Roller and Operational Safety

The JANSEN® VMA-240 features a very heavy trailing roller with a scraper and a free-wheel gearbox.

Pendulum-suspended chains at the front of the mower reduce the ejection of stones or clippings. The cutting height can be adjusted via the side-mounted skids.

Mounting and Applications

The mower is mounted to your tractor’s three-point hitch and is designed for Category II hitches. With minor adjustments, Category I mounting may also be possible.

The VMA-240 is ideal as a mulching mower, tractor mower, and for shredding and chopping suitable plant material. Thanks to the opening flap, the unit is also ideal for chopping straw.

Your tractor should have a minimum of 80 PS of power.
