JANSEN® AGF-180 Slope Mower – Robust slope mower with a cutting width of 180 cm

The JANSEN® AGF-180 is a particularly robust slope mower designed for professional use in agriculture, municipal services, and landscape maintenance. With a working width of approx. 180 cm, hydraulic side adjustment, and a wide swivel range, this slope mower is ideal for ditches, slopes, riverbanks, field edges, and hard-to-reach areas.

Unlike lighter models, the AGF-180 is a heavy-duty version featuring reinforced components, a solid bevel gear, and heavy-duty hammer blades. This makes the machine exceptionally well-suited for demanding and continuous use.

Perfect for slopes, ditches, and edge areas

The hydraulic side shift allows for convenient processing of slopes, roadside ditches, riverbanks, earthen embankments, and edge strips. The mulcher can be both shifted laterally and hydraulically angled.

The working range extends from +90° upward to -55° downward. Two double-acting hydraulic control units on the tractor are required for these functions.

At maximum extension, the distance between the center of the tractor and the outer edge of the mulcher is approximately 273 cm. This makes it easy to reach even hard-to-access areas.

Robust construction for continuous use

The AGF-180 was developed to handle the heaviest loads. The widened mulching housing, the heavily reinforced three-point hitch, the reinforced flail shaft, and the heavy trailing roller ensure maximum stability and a long service life.

With a curb weight of approx. 790 kg, the AGF-180 is one of the heaviest machines in its class and impresses with its exceptionally smooth operation and high load-bearing capacity.

16 heavy hammer blades for a clean mulching result

The 16 specially hardened hammer blades, each weighing approximately 1.2 kg, reliably shred grass, tall cuttings, brush, and dense vegetation down to a minimum.

In addition, the AGF-180 features 2 counter blades, which shred the clippings even more thoroughly and produce a particularly clean mulching result.

Double-spiral rotor for smooth operation

The built-in double-spiral rotor distributes the load evenly across the rotor shaft. As a result, the mulcher runs more smoothly, operates more efficiently, and requires less effort.

At the same time, vibrations are reduced and the service life of the drive components is extended.

Safety and Well-Designed Features

The JANSEN® AGF-180 features improved collision protection. Upon contact with obstacles such as fence posts or rocks, the slope mower can swivel out of the way to prevent major damage.

A heavy-duty trailing roller ensures even ground contact. The standard freewheel transmission protects the drive, while pendulum-suspended protective slats reduce the ejection of stones and clippings.

Includes ball valve for float mode

Includes ball valve: The JANSEN® AGF-180 comes standard with a practical ball valve solution for enabling float mode on the hydraulic cylinder.

The robust shut-off valve allows for easy switching between transport position and float position. This enables the mower to adapt flexibly to the terrain and better follow uneven ground, slopes, or road shoulders.

Simple, robust, and maintenance-free

• Mechanical solution without electrical connection
• Quick switching to float mode via ball valve
• Optimal ground adaptation on uneven terrain
• Compatible with all JANSEN® AGF slope mowers
• Low-maintenance and durable
• No additional hydraulic circuit required

The ball valve solution is a simple and reliable way to utilize the float position on the hydraulic cylinder and significantly improve work quality on uneven surfaces.

Delivery & Assembly

The unit is delivered well-packaged and disassembled in a sturdy wooden crate. Allow approximately 4–5 hours for final assembly.

The scope of delivery includes a German operating manual and an exploded view diagram. Assembly is generally straightforward, but we recommend that two people perform the installation.

The transmission is shipped dry and must be filled with transmission oil meeting the 80W90 specification before initial startup.

Note:
Since the shipping company is unable to unload the item due to its size, the customer must arrange for a forklift or similar equipment.
