This video is about assembling a 60in offset flail mower. It has an externally mounted gearbox. This unit will be run on my smaller Case 430 as his first task!
Thank you very much! I bought a flail mower without good install instructions and this (similar, very similar) flail mower instructions were very helpful!
Absolutely, but having a 2nd tractor running is even better! So satisfying buying it at a cheap price and putting some time and parts to have it run as a new. Thanks!
Of all the people online who claim they show assembly of this product, YOU sir are the only one who actually does and effectively and efficiently! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. After a couple of hours of torture and only had the shaft protecter/shield on. An hour after I found you I was ready to grease, oil and mow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does! I actually mowed about 2-3 miles of trails so far. But especially, I did cut the tall grass on the banks of my driveway. Which is quite a steep and high bank. Do you maintain trails on your land in summer? I've thought of dragging a large tree full of limbs in the trails. So not only it would get rid of the weeds but also level the ruts. Thanks Mark!
Salut Joe!!! I like the flail mower. The way it can articulate will sure make it real flexible for mowing just about anything!!! Really nice. Take care!!!
Hi Joe! Great job on the assembly! That’s a very nimble flail mower you have there. Looks like you could trim hedges with it. LOL! Looking forward to seeing you use it. Thanks for sharing!
A friend bought the non offset version of this flail mower recently and we assembled it for him. It is surprising how much work is required for the offset version but it does look like a great machine. Thanks for sharing the details of assembling
That is quite a good amount of work to assemble. If that wasn't for me having to store it for 3 months until I assemble it, I would have taken it already assembled. The fee for assembling it is 150$... Thanks!
I know what you mean! A bush hog is half of the price. Once you have the bush hog, you can't barely justify the flail mower. I was lucky the finance committee feel good about this one! Lol!
Good morning mon ami 👍 That is a very well built unit and very strong too 👍💪 The hydraulic systems on the tractor is also working very good 👍😉 Yes in deed your outriggers protective angles irons have many times save my cylinders from rocks for sure and thank to you mon ami 👍😉 Very well Hydraulic fix point on your tractor 👍😉 Yes that engine is running very well 👍😉 Yes grease is very important and 80 shots 😮😉👍that bearing unit is very well grease and did you grease your pto shaft 😏🤣😉 Can't wait to see your flail mower in full swing mon ami 😉👍 Cheers 👍😉
Hello Joe, Your channel was recommended to me by Dace (RCAFPolarexpress). I sure could use that offset mower for around my pond and along the stream through our property. I admire the organization of your shop, nice and neat. Really looking forward to seeing this unit in action!
Thanks! I've got some good uses for it here! Actually, that is a must in my case. That was it or a bush hog mower. I think I made a better choice with an offset model. Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood Ho boy 30 % to do list, you are working very well mon ami 👍 You should see what Joe has to accomplish 😮😉👍🍻 I probably will be at 0.5 % if it was me 😉👍
Hey good evening Joe! Awesome - a flail mower for all those acres of your beautiful property! Can't wait to see it in action my friend! Hammers or Knives on the rotor? What brand/manufacturer is it? Cheers Joe!
I won't use it to cut the hayfield. My neighbor does it and on the first cut, he did almost 200 round large bales! That is hammers. Then on the other flail mower I got (green used one...) I will put knives. This flail is Chinese, that is for sure. I think many "manufacturers" put their names on it. It is sold as a AGL-145 model.
@@FromSteelToWood Did you get or do you have the "float" option for the tilt? If so, do you think it is beneficial/essential? If not, do you wish you had that option?
This was interesting Joe,...do I understand that there were no instructions supplied with this mower? ( Seems odd! ) It does look like a strong and well built machine, but you are about to show us if this is true, soon, I hope. Thanks for this.
Right! You will see soon this machine is well built after all. Chinese stuff for sure. No instructions, no brand name. So half priced compared to known brands. Thanks!
Bonsoir Luc! Il n'y a pas de marque dessus, mais vendu comme un modèle AGL-145. Il semble que c'est une fabrication Chinoise que plusieurs autres marques reprennent sous leur emblème. Par exemple, Titan. Merci!
I could not tell, there is no brand whatsoever visible on the machine. It's Chinese, that is for sure. I think many "manufacturers" put their name on it. It is sold as a AGL-145 model.
So far it does not seems to need it, as the gravity point of the mower barely reaches the outer rear track. But I thought I could add a counterweight anyways. Also the front end gets light with that mower in the back. I would put it where an FEL post is located, on the opposite side. Thanks!
I bought it at Roulement Techno (here in Québec, Canada). But this model is sold pretty much everywhere, under different names. This is a light-duty (economical) version of the better-known (commercial) brands like Orsi. You can find many places that will carry this model on Google, frequently referred to as an AGL125. I paid 4000$ (CDN $) 3 years ago. The Orsi was 8k$.
I would say they are 32mm or 1¼ inch pins for what moves the flail mower. Then 19mm or ¾ inch for the cylinders. But that is a guesstimate from memory. That would need to be confirmed. Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood I would take it apart completely and lock tight everything on it. and proper torque. if you want it to last. a lot of reviews say this.
Not too much time those days to make one. Then gearbox + cylinders + hoses + bearings + hammers = price of the purchase... Better buy a cheap one and fix whatever flaw in the design would be!
It's a non-branded mower. From what I know, it's a replica of a Titan... or Titan used the same generic model and put their name on it. Sorry I can't tell more. Since I have a fairly wide and heavy machine for its power (only 35hp), I was suggested to get the version having its gearbox mounted offset to the mower, providing an extra offset reach. The extra reach is not so recommended on smaller compact tractors. Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood the only AGL-145 models i see have the gearbox mounted on the inside. How do you find the one with it mounted externally like yours? Any suggestions on where to look or what to search for?
Sorry, I don't have any specifications or details, other than the "externally mounted" gearbox! The only detail I can remember is the sales guy told me he was proposing that to me, but should not, as it was the newest version and he should be selling the old version first. In my case, with a wider machine, he knew it would be a big plus.
Thank you very much! I bought a flail mower without good install instructions and this (similar, very similar) flail mower instructions were very helpful!
I had that in mind when I did the video... instructions were not so great! Thanks!
That's an awesome new house gift you got for Dave
🤣👍 My lawn is so small Sir, the engine on my John Deere lawn tractor is not even warm at the end 😏🤣👍 Cheers 🍻
Lol! That would be easier for him to take care of the bushes he has! Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood 🤣👍🍻
Getting a new implement is always fun Joe. Later

You are welcome! That is right, few videos of an assembly, none is detailed. Thanks!
Like the updates that you have done to you're CASE, tractor sounds good.
This Case runs really good now! It has been sitting in the hangar for a while and it was running rough in the beginning. Thanks!
Nice addition Joe, that should work great on roads in woods.
It does! I actually mowed about 2-3 miles of trails so far. But especially, I did cut the tall grass on the banks of my driveway. Which is quite a steep and high bank.

That is especially good for mowing my driveway banks. Which are steep and high. Thanks Mike!
Nice toy. And Laurier-Station is next town to where I live.
C'est environ 1h30 de chez moi. Merci!
Hi Joe! Great job on the assembly! That’s a very nimble flail mower you have there. Looks like you could trim hedges with it. LOL! Looking forward to seeing you use it. Thanks for sharing!
Hum... that gave me some ideas about hedging! Thanks Martin!
💥 You’re going to have fun with that flail mower! The off set feature will be very nice.
*Keep on tractoring!* 😁👍
Thanks! That is some good tractor therapy operating this flail mower. Thanks Jon!
The offset makes this a great tool! Great replacement for a sickle bar mower for over the edges.
Absolutely. No worry about rocks or the like. It goes through anything softer than a rock and does mulch out of it! Thanks!
Joe j'aime ton Flair mower , ok un maux français et un Anglais je suit toute mélanger .
Léo, j'ai le même problème problem moi itoo 🤣😉👍
Lol!
Well done Joe..... you are very good at explaining thing and it’s a joy to watch your projects advance.....CHEERS
Thanks Gator! Using it is also a lot of fun!

That is the mower I would like but I have a bush hog. My banker said it would have to wait. LOL. Say cool.

This Case runs very well. Yes I grease the PTO shafts, as well as the outer protective shell. Have a nice day Dave!
@@FromSteelToWood Yes, that is a great point I learn on how to grease on the protective shell without dissemble it 🤣👍 from you 🤣😉👍
That is a really great mower Joe! You can cut everything with that setup. Have a lot of fun with it! See ya!
Thanks John! I will have fun for sure!

Joe good looking piece of equipment can’t wait to see it in operation. Nice job on getting it all setup. Take care, Ben.
Thanks Ben! That will be seen in the next video!
Always a good day when a steel to wood notification pops up
Lol! Thanks! I wish I had more time to build stuff and edit videos! The wife list is 30% done so far...

I've been thinking of getting a flail mower too. I like that one with the offset, very nice!
That is a funny implement to run... keeps you busy! Thanks!
Good job Joe. Will be along for first trial. Jeez I did not see you doing too much work on the new old case but it looks and sounds solid .
That is right! It didn't take much for this machine to run great again. Thanks!
hâte de voir ça marcher. Toujours le fun d'avoir des nouveaux jouets... ah je veux dire ''outils'' ...lol
Oui, bien sûr, des outils! Merci Yves!

Will be nice to see it tested out. Is it a Phoenix Ditch Bank Flail Mower? I had to ask...
I could not tell, there is no brand whatsoever visible on the machine. It's Chinese, that is for sure. I think many "manufacturers" put their name on it. It is sold as a AGL-145 model.
At 80 shots to fill those bearings, I'd have been sore tempted to go out and buy a battery operated grease gun.
Sure! But the nearest store is far too! Seriously, that was easy pumping, as the bearings were dry. Thanks Jim!
Hey Joe, it looks well built! I wonder about counterweight on the tractor? Or does it need it when the mower is reached out to the side? Take care
So far it does not seems to need it, as the gravity point of the mower barely reaches the outer rear track. But I thought I could add a counterweight anyways. Also the front end gets light with that mower in the back. I would put it where an FEL post is located, on the opposite side. Thanks!
Hi Joe nice unit , was it avaiable from princess auto

Hi great video! What is the diameter of those pivot pins?
I would say they are 32mm or 1¼ inch pins for what moves the flail mower. Then 19mm or ¾ inch for the cylinders. But that is a guesstimate from memory. That would need to be confirmed. Thanks!
really nice when new, what brand? Chinese? ?
Thanks. That is indeed some super Chinese stuff! Although it's well built. Half price of the Italian brands. AGL-145 is the designation of it.
@@FromSteelToWood is this to keep down the tics lol thanks, surprised you did not build one, let me guess cheaper to buy?
@@FromSteelToWood I would take it apart completely and lock tight everything on it. and proper torque. if you want it to last. a lot of reviews say this.
@@BillyBob-fd5ht Lol! Almost lost the gearbox on the first use! There was only one bolt left. I'll consider doing that for sure!
Not too much time those days to make one. Then gearbox + cylinders + hoses + bearings + hammers = price of the purchase... Better buy a cheap one and fix whatever flaw in the design would be!

From the research i have done its similar to a Farmer Helper AGE 145. Not a lot of info out there and hard to find a vendor.
