The Sauerburger DM butterfly front mower is designed for efficient mowing in agriculture and landscape maintenance. The separated arrangement of the cutting units in front and rear mounting allows the units to be operated independently of each other. This configuration also improves weight distribution on the carrier vehicle, significantly increasing stability on slopes. The individually suspended cutting units ensure optimum ground adaptation, even on uneven or hilly terrain.
The high area output, clean cutting performance, low power requirement, low power-to-weight ratio and minimal forage contamination enable highly economical, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly operation.

Options
Smooth upper and lower blades are ideal for fine, short crop material. The blades feature low power requirements and both blades can be resharpened.
The drive system operates via a PTO-driven unit designed for a drive speed of either 540 or 1000 rpm, depending on the version.
The flat-face hydraulic quick coupling size BG2 enables clean and drip-free connection of the hydraulic lines. This prevents oil loss and protects the environment while ensuring a reliable and secure connection, even under frequent use.
The clockwise PTO shaft rotation direction (when viewed facing the tractor PTO stub) corresponds to the standard configuration of many tractors with rear PTO shafts.
The counterclockwise PTO shaft rotation direction (when viewed facing the tractor PTO stub) corresponds to the standard configuration of many tractors with front PTO shafts.
The hydraulic overcut adjustment allows stepless adjustment of the overlap during operation. This enables the operator to react flexibly to varying working conditions and ensures a clean, gap-free cutting result at all times.
The triangle coupling mount enables quick and easy attachment and removal of the implement via an A-frame coupling of Category I, II or III.
The 260 mm wide skid shoe is designed for mowing on soft and yielding ground. Its extra-wide contact surface ensures optimum ground adaptation and even weight distribution. Ground pressure per skid shoe is significantly reduced, ensuring smooth and stable operation. Compared to the standard 100 mm wide skid shoe, the 260 mm version also has significantly higher friction resistance.
The cast sliding disc is a tray-shaped skid shoe with fully rounded edges designed for maximum protection of the grass sward. The sliding disc is available for cutting heights of 40 mm and 60 mm.
One set of spare blades enables quick and uncomplicated replacement in the event of blade wear or damage. This ensures operational readiness and consistently high cutting quality while minimizing downtime.
The swath plates ensure targeted placement of the crop material into a clean swath, facilitating subsequent passes. They are especially suitable for low, sparse or dry crop conditions and provide a clearing width of 150 mm to 250 mm per side.
The swath drums ensure clean swath placement in all crop conditions thanks to their active ground drive. The rotating movement ensures an even crop flow without risk of clogging. They achieve a clearing width of 300 mm to 400 mm per side and are ideal for clearing space for subsequent cutter bars.
The lighting system with warning signs improves the visibility of the mounted mower and increases safety in road traffic. It complies with applicable road traffic regulations (StVZO) and ensures safe participation in public traffic, even under poor visibility conditions.

The warning signs improve the visibility of the mounted mower in road traffic and alert other road users to the machine width at an early stage. They therefore contribute to increased road safety.

The mechanical spring suspension reduces the ground pressure of the mower, ensuring optimum ground adaptation and protection of the grass sward. The reduced contact pressure also allows the mower to glide more easily over the ground, resulting in smoother operation and minimized wear.
An additional set of skid shoes provides greater operational flexibility and allows quick adaptation to varying ground conditions or required cutting heights.
The set of replacement knife blades and countersunk rivets includes a selection of different knife blades together with matching countersunk rivets. It is intended for quick and professional repair of the blades in the event of damage or loss of individual blade sections.
The additional hydraulic oil cooler ensures a constant oil temperature under the toughest operating conditions and prevents overheating of the hydraulic system. This guarantees reliable performance even at high ambient temperatures.
