Please remove the rear access panel behind the impeller and ask your spouse to video tape the impeller closely as it is running at 540 rpm. If you have a white paint stick all the better as you can paint a single curved line on the Rear plate of the impeller and video tape the impeller paddle if...

The double edge of the side slicer knife will allow you to mow in reverse if you are mowing heavy brush and grass allowing you to back over standing brush and brush clumps and then drive forward to mow them a second time.

Scoop knives also referred to as duck foot blades and hammer knife flail knives have difficulty recutting material a second time as they do not have enough cutting edge length to generate a great deal of suction also referred to as the pressure gradient to lift the clippings or brush a...

We disagree, the 540 rpm rotation speed through the PTO shaft should not create the radial loading that is indicated here in the videos. AT a minimum a new power take off shaft with dual constant velocity joints is in order here to stop the radial loading and the shaking. The new PTO...

Call your dealer and tell them the impeller is not balanced and creating so much centrifugal force it is causing the tractor and the snow blower both to shake. ALSO the noise you hear when you throttle up should not be there. You should hear nothing more than the noise from the cross...

All V belts have a certain amount of stretch that is managed by proper creating the proper tension.

For now all you can do is extend the lower links fully to negate the shake and reduce the drive line angle of power transmission UNLESS you invest in a PTO shaft with dual constant velocity universal joints. They need to redesign the power transmission on this snow blower and use a roller...

The tension gauge measurement markings are used to do that for the specific belt size.

Are the lower links tightened up to prevent swaying??? Start with the gear box and check to assure the hold down bolts are tight; if not, they need to be torqued to the proper tension after the application of blue loctite. Check the open bearing housing in the rear of the snow blower that...

The shake is due to the impeller not being balanced on a high speed balancer and having weights welded to the impeller paddle sleeve weldment to counteract the imbalance created by the centrifugal force created by spinning the impeller. I had the same issues with the 42 inch snow blower on my...

Iron horse and another fellow in Australia use flail shredders successfully in their land clearing and mowing work.

Good evening farmingthefarm, In order to deal with that bush land you need flail shredder. With 3.24 Hectares to deal with and with your bobcats horsepower you will be limited to a 48 inch/122 centimeters /1.22 meters width of cut to mow and not overload the tractor. To manage this you...

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Done. Now if we could only have trash doors installed on our flail mowers everyone would have less work to do to change knives and have no plugging in thick tall brush.

No, sadly at the time I ended up buying a keystoker as the AA, LL EFM and AHS units were all above $7,000.00 to $10,000 plus the installation cost w with no dealer support. The clown plumbers I hired on;y made it worse as they stuck me with a $5,000.00 bill counting the 3 days they spent...

Hello and good afternoon Quarryscapes, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the flail mower nations from Great Britain. The conditions/operating measures you describe are well defined and tell me that you have been mowing too fast for conditions and have worn hammer knives...
