I removed my message out of respect to the OP video maker. He did a great job with the Video. My 4500z hasn’t been trouble free. I bought mine a few weeks before the 4520 came out. Then had issues that left me very frustrated and almost 2 season of partial use. Thankfully, all seems ok so far. I do wish I was offered the flail to replace my finish mower after seeing my issues but… that where a good dealer comes in. This video was spot on. Ventrac is a great product. It’s upper crust for sure for home owners. We have 100 yards of 26 degree slope that 20 feet tall, all finish grass. The - huge area of jungle that a tough cut would be great. One day!

Thank you! Sorry your experience wasn’t great with the 4500 and the finish mower. Hope everything is going smooth now. We appreciate your words and understand frustration but even more so your comments!

Great job providing very important information for a potential buyer. I compared a fast cut flower to a tough cut a few weeks ago in really high thick hay. The Tough Cut was barely moving along but the Fast Cut Flail probably tripled the Tough Cuts speed and cut much cleaner. But for really rough rocky terrain with high woody material the Tough Cut is definitely the right weapon.

When I enquired if Ventrac had a flail mower they indicated they didn't need one. However, this flail mower doesn't do what other flail mowers do. That is take down grass, and small trees leaving a fine material behind.

The fast flail was just right for this grass, though the finish deck left nice stripes.
