The MATV-48XT gasoline-powered tow behind flail mower is engineered for precision mowing in rough terrain, dense undergrowth, and challenging land management tasks. Featuring a 48-inch cutting width and a 13.5 HP Briggs & Stratton® engine, the MATV-48XT is compatible with ATVs, UTVs, SUVs, and small tractors using a standard 2″ tow hitch, offering professional-grade performance for demanding applications.
The MATV-48XT combines powerful mowing capabilities with an adaptable side-shift mechanism featuring three offset positions, allowing precise cutting even near fences or buildings. With an adjustable cutting height from ½ to 2¾ inches, it easily tackles thick grass, undergrowth, and brush up to 15 inches high. It’s backed by a 2-year warranty on the mower, along with a Briggs & Stratton 2-year engine warranty, and includes free shipping within the lower 48 states.
The MATV-48XT is designed with both durability and versatility in mind. Its heavy-duty build, adjustable wheel positions, and side-shift drawbar make it ideal for tackling rough landscapes and dense vegetation. The electronically balanced rotor minimizes vibration, enhancing user comfort and reducing wear on the mower. This model’s efficient forged, galvanized flail hammers are replaceable for efficient and smooth cutting, ensuring a clean cut, whether trimming grass or handling thicker underbrush, and its flexible wheel setup provides stability and smooth operation across varied terrain.

While it is still a bit early in Michigan to utilize the mower, I can attest that it was packaged and crated exceptionally well, arriving undamaged. I intend to update this review with further details and photographs once I have had the opportunity to use it. The plan is to use it to clear the trails on my recreational property.
