Phoenix (Sicma) MLE-180 Ditch Bank Flail Mower – 72" Hydraulic Offset, 3-Point Tractor Mount

The Phoenix (Sicma) MLE-180 Ditch Bank Flail Mower is a professional-grade 72-inch tractor-mounted flail mower designed for cutting grass, weeds, brush, and light saplings along ditches, pond banks, roadsides, orchards, and field edges. Built in Italy by Sicma — one of the world’s leading flail mower manufacturers — the MLE-180 combines heavy-duty performance, hydraulic versatility, and precision cutting power into one rugged attachment.

With a hydraulic offset boom and tilt range of 90° up and 65° down, this mower easily reaches slopes, ditch banks, and hard-to-access areas that standard mowers can’t handle. Equipped with 22 hardened hammer flails (#5715001), it pulverizes vegetation for a clean, mulched finish while protecting your tractor with its included CV PTO shaft.
