- Ventrac 4500Z mowing a drainage basin with the 72" FastCut Flail Mower (MY720). In the low area the grass was around 2 feet tall and THICK. The cutting height was set and 3 1/2 inches. The flail mower is certainly a POWER HUNGRY attachment, so the mower power you have, the better!
Thank You For Watching! & Have A Wonderful Day!
You are so luckily to have a fair mower. My dealer cant get me one.
This could make dozens of 5x5 bales and many cattle would be happier!
Then rake it and bale it
It appears that the cut-off grass is making a very thick mat. If you ran over a cut area several times, would it pulverize the cut-off grass and turn it to dust? Based on a one-time run over, the results are very poor (to me anyway for a $7K attachment).
I couldn't tell you, yes or no, if going over the cut material several times would turn in to "dust", because I've never tried. But, If you waited long enough for the cut material to dry, then went over it again, yea, I would say it would chop it up pretty fine, but I don't know about "dust". However, I can tell you that going over the cut material immediately, a second time, does chop it up a fair amount more. I'll put it this way, you could tell a difference, sitting in the seat. We are VERY impressed with the finish that the FastCut flail mower gives. Please check out this time stamp 8:00-8:20. I try to show just how well the material is chopped up.
I tried to answer your questions the best I could. I hope I helped.
Thank You For Watching!
It only looks like a mat because there is so much material that is shredded and has no where to go. But it will break down faster than the tough cut material because it is finer. This is especially true on tall thick brush and dry stuff is amazing. Just ordered mine and I have four flail mowers. From Perruzo and gearmore. Once you try one on other stuff besides grass you will never co back.
I’m curious as to the speed here. It seems like you’re going really slow.
Compared to the fine cut which would leave a nicer finish I think it seems like there’s not much speed gained by the fast cut
It actually looked better before cutting.
Nice video
Thanks!
I feel like Ventracs are a little underpowered for the 6ft attachments. In lighter material ok, but for this application, 37 hp or so would be better for applications like tbis.
More power is always welcome! :)
The 72” RD finish mower is lighter, easier to maneuver than the fine cut flail. My 4500P really seemed like it was straining to keep rpm’s up and lifting that flail took forever.
Hopefully Ventrac will address the horsepower issue on the next model. There’s more brand options now with the hp in the upper 30’s.
for operate 1 hour how much meter ? Thanks
Ventrax are hydrostatic drive..correct?
Correct
I have a 72” fine cut flail and have not been impressed at all by it. It leaves long, laid over clumps everywhere.
Would you mind posting videos of it or sending some to me directly? I am considering purchasing and just want to do my homework and cover my bases.
@@superman39213 I don’t have any videos of it, I deleted them after I got rid of it.
What a GREAT MOWER ... Love to have 1 ... My boss likes John Deere ... So that's what I have to cut his Grass with... John Deere Sucks big time
Yeah I returned mine I was very unhappy with it
What does your slope reader read?
Couldn't tell you what the slope is. Tractor doesn't have a slope meter, we just have the pucker factor. :)
This guy doesn't no bout efficiency he should not be cutting side to side she should be following the path up and down at the rate he's going he's burning more diesel than anyting the spot that he was cutting I would have cut that in for passes easily but when u own one of those u can afford the diesel
Not as good as my 20 year old Craftsman!
