I had a Flail mower on my 9-N Ford tractor. It was much, much bigger than yours, but it sure did work good. Had to switch out the many blades every so often and resharpen. Had it for many years.

Bought mine from victory tractor EMSD Series. Awesome mower and terrific company.

I've used a flail mower cutting road side ditches. Nothing like getting caught up in some wire or a hidden roll of fencing somebody had dumped. The blades can be tedious to replace but it will definitely cut anything from short grass to tall grass with ease. It can also do some light bush hogging.

You’re using a flail in rocky central Texas? We live in rocky east Texas. I was considering one of these but I read that they add rocks don’t get along well. What’s been your experience?

I never knew I needed one. Thanks dude.

I used a flail mower back in the 80’s but it wasn’t pto driven. It was a self propelled model with its own engine and it had a hopper. If I remember correctly it was made by Olathe. We used it to cut grass, dethatch, pickup debris, leaves whatever all in one cool swoop.

I have one on a Husqvarna AWD riding mower. Mounts up front. Rather than “blades,” think of hammers with a wedge edge. Cost was about $2,500 4-5 years ago. Works well on a 25 HP Husqvarna.

I worked at a golf course and this would’ve been a game changer even if we only had one

We used to use these at FDOT. We use to mow the sides of the embankments. Of course, it was mounted on a certain type of tractor. Now show them how to change the blades. I remember having to help one of the guys that ran flail mower change his blades one day. I’ll stick to my batwing style of mower.

Been needing one of these but haven't settled on one thats proven to be tough enough

Eyup! I loved the times I got to use a flail when I was working for grounds in college. Flails are so much more versatile than a hog and do not bounce and gouge like a hog.

We have two ventracs at my golfcourse where I work and we love them. I know many courses that uses tractors and I must say I love both. Worked with both. Tho for me right now ventrac takes the win but that is because it is too wet and tractor not needed. Pros tractor Easy to use (for me atleast) Great resualt. Can get close to water. Cons Leaves marks on wet ground Takes some time to attach to tractor Ventrac Pros No marks Strong Quick Can be attached with 8 wheels instead of 4 Does nearly never get stuck. Cons Not supereasy to learn

Okay, I’m just put it out there. I have absolutely no need for one of these, but if I had the money he just sold me on one. That thing rocks

I own a 50 acre farm, a flail mower is a great multi tool.

Here in Europe we call that a mulcher

Have a 5' model on a Kioti CK2610 that is an awesome combination for cutting brush, weeds and tall grass. I finish mow with a zero turn mower.

Ah a native grasslands decimator

Best striping mower I’ve owned!

I didn't know I needed a flail mower until now.

Been to 4 Burns. 01, 02, 05, 07. Amazing experiences, great weather, I guess my worship was sanctioned my God.

Indeed..expensive but will pay for itself with work done/multirole capability..

I have a 24HP tractor with a 5ft flail mower and it's astonishing what I can do. It cuts and chews through small trees and shrubs, making a pile of branches disappear and is quieter than a push mower plus it doesn't throw projectiles out. That's right, I mow right by my Lexus. Not much worry about a few stumps or stones poking out either, the blades bounce on them... And It's just a small 24HP tractor, best attachment for my summer field maintenance.

What a neat attachment

I love flail mowers, the only thing is, wire wraps around the drum in a few seconds before you can shut it off. So, if you have one and there are old wire fences, patrol around the perimeters before you go near the fence with the flail mower.

Skeptical, because I’ve had one... They take considerably more power, unless you sacrifice ground speed. Also, no mention of maintenance. The cost of servicing the flails is much higher along with the time required. Finish mowing? By their design, they rip the blades and stems. They definitely have their place, but for anyone concerned with the health of their turf. They’re a pretty crude option.

How well does that mower work with the summit reactor?

Where can I go and look at one of these tractors?

They are simply replaced. They are simply pined on the roller and you pull the pin, remove the blade and put on a new one.

Cool

Flail motors are amazing. But in that video I see the guy to low and clip the dirt. NO NOT LET IT HIT THE DIRT. It fills the flails and then it doesn’t cut straight and it mangles your yard. And switching flails isn’t cheap or easy. Also don’t let them hit gravel or tree stumps. Raise them a bit on uneven ground so they never hit the dirt or gravel and they will work great for years. We have a massive one for our 4x4 that can angle so you can cut the ditch but it adds more flails to clear the dirt and the angles sometimes shave a lil high spots but after all these years the yard is level and it cost me a lot of time fixing flails and sharpening triangles.

You DO NOT want to use the same mower on rough areas and then on your lawn. Regardless of what kind of blades you use, they need to be sharp for lawn cutting. If not, they will do a very poor job and you'll have super rough edges on your grass. Bad idea.

I can spent most of a day mowing or tilling and not feel like I’ve worked. I’m a truck driver so I’m used to working 12-16 hour days.
