Low-emission diesel engine
The Shibaura diesel engines mounted on the CM-series out front mower are environmentally friendly. It meets the US EPA Interim Tier-4 which is recognized as one of the toughest emission criteria in the world at present. Besides, the engine design takes the EU-DGXI stage 3A emission regulation into account. In order to satisfy upcoming emission control regulations, Shibaura will design its diesel engine to achieve better combustion efficiency, emission and less fuel consumption.

Low noise and low vibration

The Shibaura diesel engines realise low noise and low vibration in the whole engine revolution range. The engine has proper rigidity of the cylinder block and gear case cover, which helps reducing its mechanical and combustion noise.

Compact and light-weight

Applying Finite Element Method (FEM) for structural analysis, Shibaura designs its diesel engine to be compact and light-weight on the basis of the appropriate balance of rigidity, strength and weight.

Easy maintenance

The Shibaura diesel engines are ideal when it comes to easy maintenance. On one side of the engine, you can check the oil level, replace the oil filter and complete other necessary maintenance.

Shibaura SG280 Slope Mower

Shibaura SG280 Slope MowerSG280 Slope mower

The SG280 is designed for mowing on slopes in as much comfort as on the flat and complies with safety.

With the SG280, Shibaura launches a sturdy slope mower with a low centre of gravity. 

The SG280 looks like a lawn and garden tractor, but is much larger. It has a PTO driven, 152 cm wide mower deck with side or rear discharge. The mower deck has been reinforced by means of additional plates and anti-scalping rollers in order to survive the rough mowing work on hills. All swivelling wheels, rollers and rotating parts have lubricating nipples. The wheels are driven by means of hydraulic engines. You can operate it in two wheel (transport) or four wheel (mowing) drive, by means of an L/H lever at the left side. When two wheel drive is chosen, the rear wheels will get the oil for the front wheel drive as well. If you let go of the driving pedal, the hydro engines will stop immediately, which is quite handy on a slope.

A striking feature is the seat that you can tilt yourself.



It is excellently able to mow steep slopes, and thanks to the 1.5 m wide mower deck you are also able to work efficiently on flat terrain.

 

 


Muthing mowers

Front Mounted Flail Mowers


MU-FM

Muthing MU-FM professional out front mowerMU-FM
For professional outfront mowers

Efficient outfront mowers need powerful and universally usable attachments. The MU-FM professional flail mower with linkages for various outfront mowers was developed especially for this purpose. The two point linkage in connection with the front wheels means that even on uneven land the mulcher can be driven precisely, close to the ground and with a uniform cutting height by virtue of the continuously variable height adjustment of the support roller.

The MU-FM is equipped with “M”-Carbide shackle flails and hardened wearing skids as standard. The patented, removable "Shark fin" shredding bar system ensures that it will mulch evenly without clogging. This robust professional flail mulcher can be used flexibly on both short grass and in long grass and vegetation. This reduces cost intensive setting up times and makes it more economical.

Tractor mounted flail mowers

Muthing MU-C tractor mounted flail mowerMU-C

MU-C

Front or rear mounting for small or compact tractors

This range of mulchers is ideal for all mowing and mulching with small and compact tractors of 12 to 35 hp from cutting fine lawns to high grass or light vegetation: The MU-C mulchers display their overall versatility, their good cutting and mulching quality and their robust construction.

The well thought out construction facilitates the widest possible range of installations onto small and compact tractors and small outfront mowers. The hardened “M”-Carbide shackle flails ensure a good quality of cut in all conditions.

The cutting height can be easily adjusted via the support roller and the small distance between the rotor and the support roller ensures good
contour following. Use of the patented, removable "Shark fin" shredding bar system ensures that the quality of the mulching and consequently the rotting process is excellent.

 

 

Muthing MU-C tractor mpounted flail mowerMU-C
Optional incorporation of the adjustable hydro pneumatic Weight Transfer System MU-SOFA® for front installation in the front hydraulic system of the tractor also improves ride comfort and maintains steering quality even under difficult conditions, improves contour following and contributes to reducing the cost of wear and tear by reducing strain on bearings, wearing parts etc.

MU-C/S

Muthing MU-C/S side mulcherMU-C/S
Side mulcher for rear mounting with fixed offset headstock.

The MU-C/S is one of the lightest and at the same time one of the most efficient side offset mulchers in this class on the market. It is mounted very close to the tractor and is therefore very suitable for use on small tractors from 15 to 20 hp upwards, provided that the weight and the track width of the tractor ensures safe operation.

 

Because of its similar characteristics the mowing and mulching quality is identical to that of the MU-C. The tilt of the mulcher can be adjusted from 45° downwards to 90° upwards. This makes it ideal for mowing and mulching ditches and embankments. The working area of the mulcher is offset about 60 cm to the right from the centre of the tractor so that the machine and its operation are always well within the operator's field of vision.

MU-FM/S

Muthing MU-FM/SMU-FM/S
Rear and side multi purpose mulcher with patented break away system.

The hydraulically shiftable MU-FM/S rear and side mulcher, which can operate both to the side and the rear behind the tractor is a genuine all rounder. Its operating range is variable from 90° upwards to 60° downwards hydraulically adjustable. Its large swivelling range of 112 cm means that the mulcher is ideal for working on roadside greenery, dykes, ditches and hedges.

The MU-FM/S is designed for tractors of up to approx. 45 hp and one of its outstanding features is the well established Müthing mechanical safety breakaway system. This allows the mulcher to permanently reduce its load upwards, thus reducing the forces bearing on the lower link and the device.

The mulcher is of course also equipped with the “M”-Carbide shackle flails and the patented “Shark fin" shredding bar system and possesses all the positive mowing and mulching characteristics of the MU-FM. This produces optimum mowing and mulching and an even spread of the mulch on the surface. This results in a rapid and perfect rotting and composting on the surface: Brilliant in combination with a front mounted mulcher provided appropriate engine power is available.
