Funny, I am planning on ordering a flail mower and I’ve seen quite a few reports or the hammers failing. I was in my workshop looking at some scrap train rail I have on hand and thought that I could probably make a hammer out of it. Checked TH-cam to see if anyone had already done it and wasn’t disappointed!
Hey man. I have been having A LOT of trouble sourcing the correct size of hammer flail to fit my mower. Would you be willing to make custom blades? I'll pay good money for them if you would.
@@blessed7fold I was looking to find a hammer flail blade with the correct dimensions to fit an Eterra Sidewinder. They only offer Y blades and have an odd ball bolt size and width.
@@blessed7fold if it were a fixed tooth mulcher I could see that but using tools that are the same dimensions and weight I don't see the issue. I've seen plenty of flail mowers that allow you to swap between tool options

Those should last you a long time. Railroad track is some of the best steel out there.👍
Grande idea
👍👍👍👍
Damn, that’s pretty cool👍
that's really good idea
Put a lot of trust in the weld good idea though. I’d leave the rail and drill through it. I’m waiting for my mower
I’d like to know how these went? Did they last?
I plan to do the same rather with spring steel
how did they work out for you??????

What flail do you have?

@@wpog8453 That will not work unless the rotor is rebalanced.

@@wpog8453 Please inform me what flail mowers allow you to swap between knives without having the rotor rebalanced.
Welds will fail first... weld corupt the steel and will break
wow... just rinse and repeat 21 more times and keep the weight all the same.
Keep the dimensions close and worst case you can weld some additional material or remove some as needed
