Spearhead Outfront Flail

Fitting to the tractor
General layout of mounting hardware
The Outfront is mounted to the tractor unit via two linkage arms. These arms normally slot
into sockets on the tractor unit, where they are pinned to keep in them in place. Most
compact tractors have the ability to raise and lower these arms hydraulically, which in turn
raises and lowers the Outfront. This feature allows the tractor and machine to mount kerbs
without adversely damaging either unit. The general layout of an Outfront mounted on a New
Holland MC35 compact tractor is illustrated in Figure 4.1.1 below. Note: Linkage arms and
mounting sequence may change with different tractor units
– many other fitments are
available, please contact your local Spearhead dealership if other versions are required.
Wheels to the front and a roller at the rear give height-cut adjustment, allowing the Outfront to
cope with many different ground and material conditions.
