- We are testing an offset ditch flail mower. Is it better than a Bush Hog? All the flail mower information can be found at this link.
We no longer promote Titan Attachments. Many of our friends have ordered and received flawed equipment from them. Please see below.

keep your fairytales to yourself.
This is my channel, and I wish you the best. Answer me this. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Many of the best scientific minds in the world will not answer this question. They don't even have a guess. They write long papers talking in circles but never answer the question.
@@TonysTractorAdventure
Can you cite your sources?
Any real scientist can and will answer this question. I will even answer it for you.
The egg has been around for 370+/- million years, the chicken has only been around for 57+/- thousand years. So the answer is very simple. The egg came first by about 370 million years.
Of course if you talk to diploma mill buyers like Dr Kent Hovind, He will tell you thats not possible. because god killed everything on earth (awesome and caring god you have there) except for 2 of each "kind" ( Kent still cannot define what a "kind" is). Then after landing this boat that never existed, all the animals went on a super evolution spurt (including incest to repopulate sinful humans), creating every species within each clade. But even then "the chicken came first" fails, because you cant get a different breed of chicken unless to other chickens lay a what? An egg, thats right...
So we know for a fact that the egg came first. only a creationist would think that god just poofed 2 of each species of breeding chickens out of nothing with magic (even though creationists know that getting different dogs requires breeding of 2 different species of dogs).
We also know that chickens are modern day dinosaurs.
I came to your channel to see your take on tractor stuff, and was going to see what other videos you had so I could sub to you. I was stopped in my tracks when mind altering lies flashed on the screen.
God didnt create anything, because god is not real. god is not real in the same sense that leprechauns, and santa are not real. You dont need proof that leprechauns arent real do you?
Lying to people about things that are not real is a thing of the past. it's time to put the fairytales away, and start using reason and logic.
But of course it is your channel, you can do whatever you like, but your channel will die a slow death as you lie to people, and get called out on it. More and more people are leaving the churches, soon your fairytales will be a thing of the past, like they should have been 5000 years ago. We are smarter than that now, we have the technology to prove everything in the bible is false, and have, centuries ago.
You can make your content, leaving god out of it, and will do just as well, if not better. there is no reason to even mention your imaginary friend in the sky. You can waste your time doing that behind closed doors, just like your bible tells you to do.
I appreciate your vigorous debate, and you get points for writing a lot of words. As far as my channel dying a slow death, you would be wrong. You, sir, are the only person that has shown hostility toward the subject. This channel has had tens of millions of views. I have had thousands of posts thanking me for my belief in God. In this case, you are the speck of sand on the beach standing alone against the beach. That is not to say you don't have value because you do, but you still didn't answer the question. Which came first, the egg or the dinosaurs? Our world is made up of diverse DNA. This DNA is like an operating code. Which is more logical? Random typing on a keyboard created a fully functioning operating system, or is it more likely something with intelligence wrote the code to make an operating system that serves a specific purpose? I wish you the very best, and you are always welcome here. Your challenges are always welcome if they are respectful. Next time, can you please make a post without attacking me personally. I would like you to prove God is not real.
@@TonysTractorAdventure
So now it's changed from chicken to dinosaur? I did answer the question, If you need to learn more on the subject, I can point you in the right direction.
You are trying to compare DNA to mechanical operations? "DNA is "like" operating codes", but it's not, and you know it's not. Thats the most dishonest reply you can make. If you knew anything about DNA, you would know the egg came first.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm trying to explain to you why I'm right.
Again, do you need proof that leprechauns arent real? god is not real for the same reason.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, there never has been, and never will be proof of any god.
What I'm trying to tell you, is by putting those lies in your videos, you automatically reduce your audience to less than 35% of the world population (and dwindling), when you could leave that out and have a more diverse following.
Besides, lying to people isnt very moral.
Your content keeps being better and better. You have a good voice for narration, it sounds confident yet warm.
Thank you. I appreciate that more than you know. Tanja is doing all of this great camera work and gives me so much to work with.
I’ve always wanted the opportunity to try out a flail mower. I especially like this offset option. It’s incredible how well it did mulching up that thick grass. Appreciate all the information you gave on this mower! Take care!
This was my first time using a flail mower. The rotary cutter has it's place, but this flail mower does excellent.
I don't see flail mowers as being just for cutting grass. The city I retired from used one to mow beside the roadway but also would turn up and use to cut back small trees and brush and bushes. Would be great to get rid of briers as opposed to a bladed string trimmer and pitch fork.. The state of NC uses them to cut along its roads and highways.
Thank you. This is the tractor and "mower" combination we need for our subdivision. Impressive.
I am thrilled with the setup.
Got my 57” hooked up yesterday and tried it out and I am very impressed with what it did. Glad I got one
I am like you. I heard of them, but wow, I can't believe how well it works.
What size tractor did you hook your flail up to?
Kubota L3240.
My first job was for a school. I was given the task of cutting the grounds with a flail mower on a 35hp tractor. It was awesome! Two things: DO NOT HIT A WIRE WITH IT. It will tangle it and give you a lot of work untangling. 2, be aware when you are on uneven ground, it will scalp maybe a little more than a rotary mower.
I appreciate the story. Life is awesome. God bless.
If you catch a length of wire that gets wraps around the cutting drum the easiest way to remove the wire is get the cutting torch out and make many short lengths of the wrapped wire. Quick and easy
Tonyman, again you’re videos are just getting better and better! Great job! -Ed
Ed, you always say the most excellent things! 😁 I genuinely appreciate you. Tony
Thanks Tony, I really appreciate seeing the blades and your description of how it works. They're not all the same. I think the difference in this one is the little row of small teeth the larger teeth cut against.
Glad to see you got a lot of use out of our flail mower! Thanks for the review!
This is a no joke mulching machine. I appreciate the opportunity to test it out.
Are they available in Europe?
I don't know. I am sure some variation is.
Hi Tony. I just found your channel and I love it. You certainly have been busy. God bless you and all around you. You too have a great day!
Thank you. We have a lot more to go.
well said Sir! Appreciate the in depth review. I am a new land owner, and I found out I have a lot to learn.
I have been around equipment since I could walk. I learn every day.
This was a good video Tony.
I just got a Betstco AGL-145 (57" cut), cannot tell you how impressed I am with this mower. As you mentioned, I love the offset feature, especially when I edging our fields. I have a few ditches and banks to mow, but primarily I bought it for the offset ability, mowing what you haven't run over with the tractor leaves a much better cut. Although I also noticed that a flail does a much better job of picking up what the tractor tires lay down. I have one video up on my channel, more to come for sure.
I appreciate the compliment. I will be testing this flail more, but it has sure impressed me.
Great info Tony. I agree, flail mower much more versatile than my 72 inch Woods rotary cutter pulled by my JD4066r. Love the fact you can off set the mower, use as a finish mower and angle. Mulches much better than a rotary cutter when in to 6 ft grasses, no lumps or clumps. Keep up the great content
I appreciate your comments. I was impressed for sure.
That’s a neat piece of equipment , good presentation
Thank you, my friend.it does a great job.
Thank you for your honest demonstration. This may sound childish, but i want one.
Looks like a great invention. Keep the videos coming.
I will, my friend. Thank you for watching. Tony
This was a joy to watch, such a quality cut..
I love it
I really like how you explain your video…. Really easy down to earth explanation! I give you a like and a follow!!!
Really like the offset of this mower... Yes, this mower is worth the extra money...
I have enjoyed the mower
I need this. The results are impressive.
I agree 100%
I don't have this brand, but i have a flail mower like it and love it. I am very impressed with what you can do with it.
Right on. I will never go back to a regular mower.
For all the work it does, it's worth it's value... it does awesome work... thank you for sharing your video with us...
My pleasure
Great video Tony! I have a lot to learn to make my videos better. This is a great mower to use. I'll keep the rotary cutter for clearing new areas, but this mower took over most of the work.
I seen your video when I was researching the mower. You are doing great for 8 videos in. I think the rotary cutter still has its place, but you are right about the flail mower changing things. I think I will get rid of my finish mower.
I will share my hardest lesson. When creating a video, you should be working to create video and not to complete a job! Video days and work days must be separated.
Thank you for the great info, I too choose my flail mower, it only has as 18" hydralic offset, but I can get that a great cut, even with the hammer blades. Keep them sharp and everything looks great, even when you take down the 2.5" brush that mine is rated for. Would love the full offset, but I'll continue with what I have. Maybe the future purchase, great vid!
I think the hammers cut awesome too. Big fan so far.
I've always liked the flail mower. It's certainly hard to beat a rotating cylinder with razor sharp hammers spinning around. And plus it's just darn cool! 😎
It does a good job for sure. I can really get to like this thing. I still like my rotary cutter for rough and rocky stuff, but the flail mower definitely mulches better.
I'm impressed. Very cool!
Even if a person doesn't get a flail mower that swings out, I feel like I have been missing out on the flail mower's mulching capabilities.
Nice video Tony! I have the same mower, but in a larger size and I'm very happy with it so far.
I am also happy with this one. Thank you for watching. Tony
Great video Tony. Pretty cool how you can mow at any angle. I’ve mowed fields like that. Even worse with a rotary cutter. It doesn’t leave a nice finished look like that.
I agree, but the rotary has its place. Areas with rocks and big stumps are a rotary cutter's place to shine.
Enjoyed the video Tony. That is one awesome mower. I could really use one around here.
I like the fact it can be pulled in behind and mowed with normally, or extended for bank work. It is a very flexile unit. I like it!
I just acquired a Italian made Fail mower it has a few issues i must address prior to spring. I am so stoked to see this video. The Hammers on that titan are very beefy looking compared to the two piece tee knives on mine. Thanks for the information
I think I will always go for hammers from now on.
Very impressive cutter!
I like it. Much better cut than a rotary.
It is impressive. It is very versatile.
7:20 thank you Tony. good and informative.
God Bless
Awesome cutter. I got a rotary cutter only because no one around me stocks flails and didn't want to bother with mail ordering one. But I think that situation is going to change within the next couple years.
I am impressed with it, but the rotary cutter has its place too.
Great video! I was considering fabricating my own ditch mower, but this offset flail looks like a very sweet attachment! Nice, clear analysis. I like your style.
I genuinely appreciate your comment. To this point, I am incredibly excited about this mower, and it has performed better than I have hoped for.
Great job!
I appreciate that.
This unit looks better than the Italian ones I've seen on other channels. Nothing wrong with them, I just like how the arm offset is engineered. A set of flow restrictors would make the movements smoother if you were to use it a lot. Great video!
@Jimmy Horton, Thank you, my friend. I do think a set of flow restrictors are in order. I will say this unit is built heavy. The gear box is over built in my opinion, but that is a good thing.
My rotary cutter was made in Tremont, Ms about five miles from my house. They built what I asked for. Six foot wide, 1/4” plate and 3/8” channel iron for the sides. 65 hp box. It’s heavy ( I have to weight down the front of a Ford 4000) and I can literally back down 6” trees. But it doesn’t do as pretty of work as that attachment. It would also be great for ditch banks and fences. I guess you could make a sliding guide off the front of the tractor, to make sure you stay out of the post.
That sound like a solid rotary cutter. The only draw back I have found to a flail mower is, I can't back up mowing. Other than that, it is amazing.
I pull a 65" ditch bank flail. It is a different brand than that one but it does a good job. I always run my tractor with the loader off of it and use the loader control valves to operate it. That gives the option for float and that makes it even better at following contours of the ground. I am in the process of putting regular grass knives in mine also because the hammers are too expensive for me to operate due to the fact that rocks and other materials will dull them rapidly.
We don't have many rocks here. I can see where that would be costly. I am going to put on some flow restrictors to slow the movement. I think that will be the finishing touch.
Wow Tony, thank you for the honest in depth review. After seeing this video, I feel that I need to save a little more money and get this unit over the other Funny Top without the tilt function.
Thanks so much...
Glad it was helpful!
I'm thinking that flail opens up that door even more. I like it. Add that to my "when things are normal again" list of purchases. I'd absolutely pay more for the flex. That's future proofing IMO.
It is built like a tank and is heavy. My gut says it will last a good long time for me
My brush hog (rotary mower) is so old it was purchased new by my wife's great grandmother 😑. It's literally been in the family for 4 generations, 6 if you count our grandchildren 🤔. Our rule of thumb has always been if the tractor will run over it, the hog will eat it 😏. Trees up to the size of my wrist are fair game (it's a stump jumper btw). I mention that to give an idea of how much it's been abused for how long, and has kept on working. It doesn't mulch as well as that flail mower though, so I definitely will be looking into one.
I think they each have their place. The rotary cutter will take some real abuse, and you can back into things.
I have to give credit where credit is due. $2,500 for the 65” is not bad at all. This looks like one versatile unit. You could use it for hedging a tree/branch wall. I like it a lot Tony. Thank you for the great video.
It did truly impress me. Rotary cutters are popular around here. I saw a flail mower growing up, but it great. It really can mulch down the grass.
They are handy for sure and do a great job. Ide use it. I just like mowing stuff down lol.
It is very satisfying to mow. I love cutting down the thick stuff and see the smooth grass.
That is a nice unit. It would come in handy along the creeks.
I can tell you, it makes mowing a ditch bank easy.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Is your 25 hp tractor heavy enough on ditch banks to prevent tipping over with that offset mower.
The T264 is perfect for it. It is has loaded tires also. The weight of the mower rides on the roller when in use.
Superb review, thank you.
Thank you.
The flail mower we had long ago, had 2 blades per position. The were little thicker than sheet metal with bent outward at the cutting edge. It mowed grass real good but didnt like rocks, shrubs, or limbs. Once they hit something other than grass the blades would bend then leave stripes of grass.
Those blades are still available, but this one has the Hammer Type cutters. It is rated at 3" brush.
Great video !!! Thanks !!! Please keep it up !!!
I appreciate it. We worked with the firewood processor today.
As an Agriculture Teacher, I had a state issued flail mower to cut an athletic field. Best cut I have ever seen, outside of a fairway mower. The con is changing all them blades. Also my local dealers don’t like them. I want one for my yard, but I have to get a tractor with remotes first, I like the hydraulics
I am servicing the Flail mower tomorrow.
Loved your video. Thanks
@Terry, thank you. We are having a good time making them. Heck, I get to drive around on the tractor. 😃
Thanks Tony. In rough veg like that do five passes with the flail next to five passes with the rotary then come back in four days and see what's sprung back up. Betcha the flail has a better result. A lot more points of failure on a flail though.
Thank you for the feedback. I agree with everything you said.
Thumbs Up from the Dooley's of Michigan
Thank you.
Great review. Thank you!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Great video, I now need a flail mower!😀😀😀
That little mower is still going strong.
I'm sold, I could do with a couple of these!! Great video Tony.
Thank you
I have the flail mower on today?
Thanks for the video :)
You are welcome
I have both! The flail mower does put a lot of stress on the 3 point hitch but does a better job than a brush cutter which I will probably sell!
Flail mowers have there place for sure. I found that the maintenance is more time consuming due to the number of cutting knives which also increases costs. Cutting rates are slower as well compared to a rotary. If you have the budget, having both in the tool bag is ideal.
I agree with everything you said. Thank you for watching. Tony
Thanks guys 2022🙃love the scripture as well🥰
Our pleasure! God Bless & Merry Christmas
I purchased a flail mower last year and it is 5 ft. model that I pull behind an atv. It is powered by a Briggs 420 cc engine and it is a work horse. It does an excellent job the only con that I found on this one is where you mow has to be fairly level or the mower will try to slide sideways. This particular flail mower was much cheaper than a zero turn mower and this one does a much better mowing job. I have used zero turn mowers in the past and I prefer this flail mower over it.
I have seen those. To this point, I am impressed with how it mulches up the weeds and brush.
After watching this video I have to say I might go buy one , really like the offset don't have that dang wheel in back, always see to get it tangled up in fence ,
I just put dual rear remotes on my new T25. I will be showing it work again soon. I love this mower.
Great, another thing I need to buy!
I may just have to keep this mower. I am genuinely impressed with it.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I don't blame you, I have an annoying embankment to my pond which could really use something like this.
Good viedo and nice mower, thank you.
Thank you
Been using a heavy duty flail for 5 yrs now on my 34hp tractor....it will do anything from cut the grass to mulching brush to 4” in diameter....great piece of kit....
That sounds promising
I hope mine holds up that well. It is a beast to this point.
Brand? Model?
Link in the video description. Titan Attachments.
@@TonysTractorAdventure nah, I meant the one David mentioned...with the ability to cut up to 4 inch material. Sounds closer to a forestry mulcher.
I used the Slasher ( rotary mower) in over 6 maybe even 7 foot grass here & yes it takes real horsepower to deal with that size grass. Just got a Flail mower as well so I'll see how it goes.
I only had a rotary mower for years, but I would never go back now that I have used a flail mower.
You mentioned in the video and in a comment about adding flow restrictors. What are flow restrictors and what is their purpose? Thanks.
Blessings awsome equipment!!
Thank you. Long journey to get it.
You seem to have your tilt set just perfect. I use a hydraulic shift Woodmaxx 62. I’d sure love if it would shift vertical too.
I just set up a new my New TYM T25 with this. I have 3 rear remotes. One is a hydraulic top link. That makes this setup amazing.
Ventrac makes an all wheel drive unit with a front mount flail. Great machine.
It is a neat machine.
OUTSTANDING MACHINE AWESOME!!
I am very glad to have this mower. It opens up a lot of doors in maintaining our property.
I just bought a offset Titan 175 Flail mower. Love it.
Aren't they awesome! I can not wait to get the flail set back up on the new tractor.
Never seen one of those, the chain flails that I remember had horizontally spun chains either walk behind or tractor borne,they were mostly used to knock down saplings and suckers, had a tendency to spit out a worn link every now and again !
I am well impressed with this-my new favorite mower.
I have both a brush hog and that same flail mower. I can mow faster with the brush hog, but the flail leaves a much nicer finish. In answer to your question about price on different flail mowers ... It definitely is worth the extra money for the hydraulic one over the one that sits behind you simply because of the added versatility like mowing the ditches and trimming brush and trees. I had a float function added to one rear remote so now the mower follows the ground without constantly fiddling with the remote lever, especially in the ditches.
I am really enjoying the flail mower.
Dang. That looks like the perfect tool for my farm. I have small bushes and trees constantly growing into a path on my farm. I bet that would chew up the tiny stumps poking out of the ground while allowing a tractor to drive to the side and not poke holes in the tires.
Check out some of my newer videos using this flail mower. I take it back in the woods!
Wow, i see the advantage. As only a home owner I would nver have the use if it yet. But as someone who has had the opportunity to use a bushhog over the years at my family’s property, the bush hog was not suited for ponds and getting under the tree lines. I also see the way it mulched the diffrent grass and small trees maybe saving time were Inwould need to go over twice to get the same result. Not to mention the abilty to keep the tractor on the road or hard surface when cutting the driveway or gravel roadway. Keeping the tractor offset as well im sure will less pressure on the equipment. Warrany would be a question as well as a long term review for anyother vons you find. Thanks for the content. 👍
The mower has a one-year warranty, but parts are standard parts. The bearings can be found at most farm stores. The cutters are universal. I think it will be cheap to maintain. I appreciate you watching.
As far as prices go, your traditional three point hitch Flail mower is the same price as the rear finishing mower ay Tractor Supply. I'm sure their more costly if you upgrade to one like yours. But man, that is a convenience to be able to mow banks and around ponds.
I think I may keep this one now that it is set up, but the conventional flail mower is attractive. It does as well as a finish mower, in my opinion. Maybe not as fast, but it is dual purpose.
Looks like when you cut with a sickle mower or haybine. Except nothing is left to rake lol.
I bet the deer love that feild after you flail it.
I caught the deer in it that evening.
i have a 5 foot rotter cutter.........it sits since i purchased a rhino RF74 it is awsome.
I think I will get a 6 foot finish mower for regular mowing. It has blown me away.
Howdyyawl from the land down under. I have a 7ft flail mower. It cuts everything it is pu up against. Better than any plate slasher witch doesnt cut cleanly. No contest. Keep using it. I'd pay a bit more to do a better job once. Keeping it real😊
I agree
Hi there,
I'm stuck in a bit of a predicament. Got a few acres in alfalfa and can't find anyone reliable to cut the crop for me and I won't spend thousands of dollars on buying haying equipment so thought of using my rototiller to only cut and pulverize the plant portion of the crop without touching the ground. I'd make sure my tiller is lifted at least 2-3 inches off the ground at all times so it's not damaging the root and only mowing/mulching the stalk/plant. I'd do that over the course of the summer 3 times and just let the cut field rot and decompose over the winter.
I know this is not ideal but would you think a HD rototiller can give nearly as good of a finished product as a flail mower or not?
Thanks for your time and hope to get your insights on this.
My zero turn would cut that no problem. There would be strips of taller cut grass. The strips look bad close up but from the road or house you don't notice it. Love this implement, love the offset. For ditch banks etc and avoiding branches 30% is worth it to me.
I have burned the belts off my finish mower, getting into the deep stuff. Bought lesson! 😁 I may keep this mower.
Great job Tony want to video looking to buy one soon
I am very impressed with it. I will test it more.
Thank you for this well done video, very informative! We have a third function set up on our loader (used for snow plow and grapple). do you have a video or recommendation for a rear hydraulic outlet?
Tony, I did a video installing the extra rear remotes made by summit kit. th-cam.com/video/MRDCX7DH0xU/w-d-xo.html I also did a video on installing the OEM rear remote Kit. th-cam.com/video/wj1xkEKKXcE/w-d-xo.html
Tony I have liked the flail mower for some time but more for the trees you were cutting. I have more than my share of small Gum trees. Here in Arkansas they can out grow a pine and make it fall over from lack of sun light. I would rather have a hydraulic one one the front for those ten foot high Bryan patches I have. You didn’t give the exact price of it. It seemed like a good mower non the less. I might like it on the back. You showed a lot of moverbillity that I dioknow you could get on the back. I agree they do cut better. When you sharped the blades it would be good to also have a small electronic scales to get a good match on them also. Keep up the good work. I watch you all the time. Good job.
Thank you. I am still happy with the mower. I don't sell anything so I stay out of the price thing.
I’ve got a landpride 15’ batwing. It’ll go through 6’ tall grass and knock down a 3” diameter tree, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to how nice this looks and it doesn’t do much in grass shorter than about 15”. The issues are the same with all the brands of rotary cutters we’ve had on the farm but I’m ready impressed by the flail’s finish and I’ll probably go that route for an offset fence line/ditch mower like this one just wider to match what I’ll run it on. It’s way easier to change a flail section when you hit something than a rotary blade. I also like the sawhaul never thought of that add on before but I’m getting one
I have been very impressed with the flail mower.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I’m looking at really anything at least 84” wide for what I’ll put it on to match width but your video sold me on the offset mower type I’m going to get
Tony, almost a must to have float detent on your angle cylinder. Allows mower to fallow contour of the ground
There is a long slot in the top link mount, which allows flex. This way, the operator can set how low of a cut they want while allowing the unit to float.
I do understand your thinking, but this unit is a bit different than some others. I also appreciate the feedback.
I mow with a Kubota B7100 & a 4ft. Bushog Squeeler, Both from the 80’s. I use lo range & third gear w 3/4 throttle and it takes down 4to 5 ft grass/ weeds/Briars. It’s like little tank! Hey
Kubota lead the way in compact tractors. These new small tractors are excellent. TYM seems to be following Kubota's business model of the 1980s. Build an excellent strong and reliable tractor at a reasonable price.
Great video & tremendous explanation. You come across as a pinto beans & corn bread kind of guy. I'd share my BBQ with you any day. God bless you as well. I subscribed.
You got a big laugh out of me! We are White Beans and Corn Bread people. LOL! I will chow down on some BBQ too. God bless my friend.
Hello from WTFarmGirl channel. Wow we need that mower on our farm.
This flail nower has really impressed me. It is a solid unit. I could see you guys using something like this.
The best attachment I have found is the flail mower , I should have bought it first . It uses less horsepower and and does so much more .
I agree.
Hey Tony great video, that's a awesome cutter.
Did you see the 2021 tym 264 ?
They added some nice features few changes.
It is nice. They changed the name to T25.
That works good 👍
I agree with you. I may have to keep it.
Nicely done, Tony. But since you mentioned it, any chance TYM will let you review the new T25 tractor?
I will ask. They are selling well.
We use a woods 3240 batwing rotary mower behind a new holland ts125a and it eats up 6 ft tall grass and anything in its path its going on 20yrs old and still working good
Awesome! I am glade you enjoy it.👍
@@TonysTractorAdventure yes sir been looking at a flail mower 20ft
That must be a beast of a flail mower. I have never seen one that big. Let us know how it goes.
@@TonysTractorAdventure will do
Amazing.
It does well. Check out our latest videos. We take the flail mower in the woods.
I'll always choose a flail over hog. The finish is amazing.
I love the flail mower to this point, but it will always have a place for my rotary cutter. I like being able to back up a ditch bank into brush.
Maybe so. However, a brush hog would be a much faster job. After it's all cut down with a brush hog, and it starts growing again, then you can use this mowing unit to chop up even much further what was already done with a brush hog.
Rotary cutters aren't intended to mulch. I run a 32" flail mower on my BCS 750. 13hp engine, no idea how much of that is available at the PTO, but it hasn't bogged down yet.
Flail mowers are not common around here. I have been very impressed with it to this point. The rotary cutter is much better at backing into tall stuff.
Great video Tony. I appreciate your posting the review... I'm trying to decide flail or rotary. if I can stay in budget they flail all the way.
How do you flail that does not swing out (do to cost) vs a rotary?
I like a flail mower, and I don't think I will go back. I have a nice rotary cutter, and I may sell it.
I need something offset to go around my pond. I have been mowing with my zero turn as close as I can and weed eater once a month. I have about 500 yards of shoreline around my pond. Weed eater is killing by back.
The weed eater is tough on the back. This flail mower can offset a good 4 feet. More if you get a bigger one for a bigger tractor.
Same here. Zero gets stuck in mud as well.
Thanks for answering my other comment.
Have you tried using it vertically to trim hedges or brush along the side of a driveway, etc?
I checked with the manufacturer (FHM; they sell it as the AGL125 or as OEM to Titan and other brands) and they advertise it as being used vertically for hedges, etc. I also checked with the gearbox manufacturer and they say there is no issue running it vertically. Finally I checked with Titan and they confirmed that, yes the manufacturer advertises it can be used vertically, but in their testing they were concerned that chips could fly at the tractor operator, especially on the versions with the front edge chains that fall sideways when vertical, and because of this they recommend using it only angled +/-65°.
Have you tried it vertically?
Do you agree with Titans concern or do you agree with FHM?
Personally we do intended to use it vertically (in addition to horizontal for the rear field and angled for the edge of a creek). We want to use it vertically to trim roughly ½ a mile of laneway that has a hedge and brush along one side. If chips fly towards the operator I plan on adding a "wing nut" installed rubber flap to control chips.
We're looking forward to receiving it in the next week or so and putting it to use to clean up our overgrown property.
I have used it vertically, but I could see it getting hairy. Under the right conditions, it could throw something at the operator. I would add a rubber flap.
Wow! I have a JD 4310 with a 60” brush hog. Wonder if I could get one of these? Hmmm
At least a 60" and probably more.
