Frontier Disc Mowers meet ASAE safety requirements.
Stones and other objects can be thrown a great distance by the rotating cutting blades. Therefore, do not operate a disc mower near other people or close to buildings.
To reduce the potential for thrown objects, always operate the disc mower with the cutter bar cover in the down position. In addition, these disc mowers should be used with
tractors that have a factory-installed tractor cab.
