Float Position for JANSEN® AGF Slope Mowers – Mechanical Ball Valve Solution for Easy Retrofit

With this mechanical ball valve solution, you can quickly and easily retrofit your JANSEN® AGF Series slope mower with a floating position. This purely mechanical solution requires no electrical controls whatsoever and enables optimal ground adaptation on uneven terrain.

The robust shut-off valve (ball valve) allows you to easily switch the hydraulic cylinder between the transport position and the float position. This enables the mower to better adapt to ground conditions—ideal for mowing slopes, ditches, roadside areas, and uneven surfaces.

Quick Overview – Key Benefits

• Simple mechanical retrofit for float mode
• No power connection required
• No additional hydraulic control circuit required
• Convenient switching via a robust ball valve
• Optimal ground adaptation on uneven terrain
• Compatible with all JANSEN® AGF slope mowers
• Robust, durable, and low-maintenance design
• Quick and easy installation

Optimal ground adaptation thanks to floating position

In the floating position, the mower can freely adapt to the terrain. This ensures even ground contact, and the mower follows uneven surfaces much more effectively.

Especially when used on slopes, ditches, field edges, or roadside verges, the floating position ensures a clean finish and a more comfortable working experience.

Mechanical solution without electrical components

Switching is performed entirely mechanically via a sturdy ball valve located directly on the hydraulic cylinder. This eliminates the need for either an additional hydraulic control circuit or an electrical control system.

The simple design offers high reliability, low maintenance, and a long service life.
