How well does a 15/20' flail follow the land contours compared to a flexwing?
I have a couple areas where my 15' has a section that scalps. I'm wondering if a flail is better for flat/flat land verses rolling hills??

Hello and good evening Richard,
A flail crop shredder like the 15-20 foot wide Hiniker shredder does not have a rear roller. The lowest shredding/mowing height is 2 inches and the rear gauge wheels maintain this mowing height when it is either a towed unit or a three point hitch mounted unit. The Model 1700 flail shredder requires a tractor with a 1,000 RPM power take off.
The model 1700 flail shredder has 4 hydraulically adjusted gauge wheels to control the shredding height.
The folding 3 section Inobrezice Dominator flail crop shredder do not use a rear roller. The Dominator model will allow a 15 degree upward angle of shredding and a minus 10 degree down angle for shredding for the outer shredder sections.
The triplex Dominator requires a row crop tractor of 130 horsepower and has the ability to allow the outer wings to follow the contour.
Both implements use rear tires adjusted hydraulically to maintain the cutting cutting height.
The 6 foot cut Hiniker crop shredder uses a CV joint on its PTO shaft to allow tighter turns during crop shredding and mowing down to two inches using either a ratchet jack or a double acting hydraulic cylinder.
