    Victory Flail Mower - breaking shear bolts constantly

    Hi folks, I’m new to tractors and flail mowers. Last year I purchased the Victory Flail Mower (model: FMHDX-94 Extra Wide Heavy Duty Flail Mower). I continue to have issues breaking PTO shear bolts. As soon as I engage the PTO - the shear bolt snaps. I have a CAT II tractor (Allis Chalmers 7010...

    Thinking about a flail mower but wonder if it is worth it for my application

    I've been using my rotary bush hog mower for over 20 years and I mainly mow rolling pasture areas. I also have found it valuable in brushing out some smaller stuff but most of the time it is more grassy and weedy areas. I was thinking about getting a flail mower, not so much for it's ability...

    Can a Massey GC1710 with Category 0 hitch operate a flail mower?

    I'm looking into flail mower options. Plenty of choices with more HP and category 1 or 2 hitch. Has anyone operated a flail mower behind a GC1710 or equivalent?

    Rear Finish Mower  Woods RD8400

    I found a good deal on an older Woods RD8400 the original owner was selling because he had decided mowing with a zero turn was a better way to go. Same thing I thought a few years ago, it can be faster but it will BEAT you to death. The Woods is in really great shape except for the blades that...

    Anyone familiar with Sundown Flail Mowers?

    Hi, I've been researching small flail mowers for my 25hp CUT. There are some reputable brands I can order online, and I'd buy them based on reputation (Befco, Caroni, EA, etc.) but I'd prefer to purchase locally, and I'd rather spend less money as I'm not going to use it very aggressively. So...

    Anyone Seen A Flail Like this? Who Makes it?

    We were given this flail. Name on it says Eggers-Bilt but looks like stick on letters. Anyone seen one like this and can help identify? I have a sneaking suspicion it is home made.

    Hammer Flail vs Forestry Mulcher vs Brush Hog vs Brush Hog with chains.

    My goal is to much up some down branches, and firewood leftovers. And overall to be safe. Maybe also attacking blackberries. Ok, I started looking at small consumer quality skid steer forestry mulcher attachments. The attachments are almost reasonably priced, but have a ravenous appetite for...

    Flail Mower  New to Me- Seppi SMO 200 Flail Mower

    New to me, definitely NOT new. I have the mower on blocks in the shop. I was concerned about the ugly looking gear oil and not being able to drain it completely due to the drain not being at the low point of the housing. I removed the gear box and have it hanging at an angle that should allow...

    Alamo flail mower questions.

    Bought a used Alamo74 cutter. One of the features is dual rear laminated, bushhog type trailing height gauge wheels. It’s also has the roller bar. The roller bar has some perforations from rust where it was sitting on the ground. Question, do you really need the roller bar with wheels? Patch...

    Advice Needed: Choosing a Flail Mower for My Kioti CK3530

    Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm Dan, and I'm relatively new to the tractor community. I've been loving my Kioti CK3530 tractor for the past few months, but now I'm looking to expand my equipment with a flail mower attachment. However, I must admit, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...

    Flail and HP needed to run.

    I have been looking at flails and obviously want one that is wider (working width)than the tractor. Betstco is the brand. I’ve talked to the sale people there and their word contradicts what the websites literature says. They said the 48” would be too big for my 25hp engine tractor, but in the...

    Flail size for MT225s

    What size flail mower are you all using? I talked to a betstco salesman and he strongly suggested going with a EFGC125(48”), but my bucket is a 54”, so I wouldn’t be able to mow next to any long obstacles.

    Excavator flail.

    It works impressively well. Will have to see about the longevity of it since it was only 2k. I’m going to mod it so it has a door that can open on the front to mulch tall trees and vines easier. The tree I’m holding is what we call an ironwood and is a pretty tough wood.

    Balancing flail mower rotor

    In many, many other threads, when someone mentions the need to get a flail mower rotor balanced due to vibration, the response is typically "find a reputable driveline shop and they'll fix you up." I've called all of the reputable driveline shops within 2 hrs. and they all stated they can only...

    Flail size for Kubota L3130

    Will a Land Pride flail mower FM2572 be too much for a Kubota L3130 with 25.8 HP at the PTO? One dealer said don’t do it, tractor can’t handle the heavy duty LP model. My local dealer said it’s no problem, will work just fine. I’d really like a six foot. Would a medium duty six foot model be any...
