FM40 FLEX WING Grooming Mower FAQs
What size tractor does the John Deere FM40 flex wing mower need?
The FM40 needs 25 to 60 hp with a 540 rpm PTO and hooks to a Category 1 drawbar with a self-leveling, multi-position hitch and floating clevis. The wing and rear deck lift runs off just 1 rear SCV.
How does the John Deere FM40 fold for transport?
Hydraulic cylinders lift the wing and rear decks and automatically lock them in the up position for transport. A rope-pull latch release is standard, and an optional hydraulic wing latch release kit lets you release the decks from the seat using a second rear SCV.
How does the John Deere FM40 handle uneven ground?
The wings travel up 20 degrees and down 15 degrees, and caster wheels on each deck follow ground contours for a uniform cut. Anti-scalping rollers are available for highly uneven terrain.
How much does the John Deere FM40 weigh?
The FM40 has a 2,035 lb operating weight and a 2,095 lb shipping weight. It uses a 10 gauge deck with rear discharge and baffling around the blades for even material distribution.
Is the John Deere FM40 easy to maintain?
Yes. The belt shields come off without tools for access to the sheaves, belt and spring-loaded idler, and the blade spindles use greaseable ball bearings. Setup takes about 1.25 labor hours, and the machine carries a 1 year warranty.
