Looking at the Landpride parts manuals the FM2160 and FM2560 rotors are quite different. FM2160 Rotor and duckfoot blade. A Y blade replacement would have to be very short to fit. A Y blade with D ring might be too long to fit? As ususal leonz's suggestion is probably the best solution.

My experience with Landpride flail mowers is with the FM25xx series not FM21xx, so this may or may not apply. On the FM25xx mower line 3 blade types are offered: Duckfoot, Y blades and hammer blades. Y blades and hammer blades will mechanically interchange, however, Landpride does not recommend...

I realize you asked specifically about MMM's, but you might want to also consider a flail mower for the tractor. For a time I mowed with a 60" Hustler Z and a tractor mounted flail mower. No one could tell the difference in cut quality. Not all flail mowers give this cut quality. Look for one...

Don't know what I would buy today in place of the LP flail. I was very satisfied with the Ford/New Holland 918H owned previously, but afaik it has been out of production for a while. Leonz and others on this forum have a lot more recent experience than I with what is currently available and of...

I probably wouldn't buy the LP again if I had to do over, but not because it is a "bad" mower. As stated before it has been totally reliable. I would like to be able to use the mower for both agricultural and residential lawn mowing, and while the LP does an excellent job in the farm fields, I...

Mechanically the LP FM2584 has had zero problems. It is robustly built of quality materials and all I've done was routine lubrication. I originally ordered it with "Y" knives and was not satisfied with the quality of cut on residential lawns compared with the Ford 918H flail I owned previously...

Unfortunately many mattress manufacturers have cheapened their products in recent years to better compete with the "Bed in a Box" mattresses sold on line. The big three "S" mattress companies, Simmons, Serta and Sealy, all fall into this category. Just because you have an older mattress that has...

I've owned a FM2584 flail for several years and have posted several times about my experience with it. Here is one: New Tractor and Flail Mower

Great mowers. Bought one new about 20 years ago and used it for 9 years or so and sold it. Wish many times I hadn't sold it! Other than replacing the blades once no mechanical problems.

I still have the FM 25-84 referenced in my earlier posts. It has been trouble free mechanically, although I haven't put a ton of hours on it. I reviewed my previous comments and haven't changed my mind about the conclusions. My tractor is a 55 hp. Case IH 55 CVT which is adequate but not overly...

Here is a link to a site that is the best I have found for unbiased mattress info on the "Bed In A Box" sellers like Purple and the major manufacturers like Serta, Temperpedic, etc.: Welcome I rebuilt a Serta mattress that had deteriorated to the point of being unusable in two years using...

Need to order a set of filters for a 2018 Farmall 55C CVT tractor on-line. Where do you folks get them? The oil filter seems to be a captive item. Thanks, Vic

Very interesting thread. I will be starting a pasture clearing project in the near future ( If the weather ever cooperates.) using a Case Farmall 55C CVT tractor. I bought a EA 65" grapple and 84" Land Pride flail mower with the tractor last year and recently added a 72" Piranha toothbar to the...

The hood latch on the Farmall 55C CVT is jammed. Can't open the hood for service. It worked fine until a few days ago. I had a similar problem with a previous tractor, a NH TC45D, but was always able to finally get it open. Any tips on how I might be able to un-jam it? Vic

New Farmall 55 CVT with EA Grapple and Land Pride flail mower. I've mowed about 10 acres so far and just got the grapple mounted yesterday. Also have a Land Pride grading scraper for driveway maintenance. Vic

Case Farmall 55 CVT with EA 66" dual led grapple. Third function kit installation. Note to Travis: Tractor speaks Mexican Spanish not Japanese. :o Vic

leonz: Thanks for the kind words! You provided some great answers to some of my questions over on the "Flail Mower" thread and I appreciated it! I do need to clarify a couple of points though: As mentioned in my OP I used a NH 918H flail mower for 16 years, so I can't honestly lay claim to...

Adjusted the cutting height of the LP FM2584 flail mower today. Cutting height can be adjusted from 0" to 6" in one inch increments by raising or lowering the rear roller. As delivered it was set at 1" which resulted in excessive scalping, the skid plates digging furrows and a nice mud pack on...

Quick test run on last year's Bluestem vegetation. "Y" blades were on the mower. Hammer blades are on order. Cut was smooth and clean. Granted, dry grass isn't much of a challenge, but it's all I've got now. Mulching was very good on the dry grass. The skids will need to be adjusted as...

Tractor and implements were delivered this afternoon! Yuk! New Land Pride / Kubota orange isn't a great color match for a red tractor. It'll just have to do though. Close up showing LP Quick Hitch installation. I had to give it a trial run! More later. Vic

Drove over to the dealer this afternoon to check out the new tractor and mower I ordered. The tractor is a 2018 Case Farmall 55 CVT w/cab. The mower is a Land Pride FM2584 flail, the "84" in the model number being the cutting width in inches. The tractor and mower replaces the New Holland TC-45D...

I may have bought something similar for my old New Holland 918H flail. Unfortunately I sold the mower before getting a chance to try it out. Vic

A little background: In October 2016 I got a quote from a New Holland dealer for a 54D CVT tractor and loader to replace the TC45D I was selling. On May 1, 2017 I stopped by the same dealership to get the quote updated. I was a bit surprised when the price increased by about $3500. Reason given...

Looked at a 72" cut Hustler Super Z mower today with the Kohler 33 hp 824 efi engine today. I have been running Kawasaki engines on my mowers for a long time and have no experience with the Kohler. Any feedback positive or negative? Thanks, Victor

Now that the sale of the TC45D and all the implements is a "done deal", I'll be looking to replace it in a couple of months. I have narrowed my choices down to the Boomer 46D CVT or 54D CVT with cab and loader. Specs for the two appear to be the same except for engine HP. Is the HP difference...

I have a serious buyer for my beloved 2000 New Holland TC45D SuperSteer and loader, so I need to start thinking about a replacement. The buyer also wants all the implements, New Holland 918H flail mower, Land Pride box blade, 55 gallon 3-point sprayer, Land Pride tiller and my new Woods grading...

Don't claim to be an expert, as the New Holland 918H is the only flail I've ever owned or used. Both the top link and bottom arm pin connections are slotted, presumably to enable float? The slots allow the mower to rotate slightly in use. Has worked well for 16 years! Vic[ATTA

I run a 2000 New Hollland TC45D tractor here on my small farm (107+ acres) that I bought new along with a !7LA loader, New Holland 918H flail mower, 6' box blade, 6' tiller and 55 gallon sprayer. I have been very satisfied with the set up. I am getting on in years, turned 81 this summer, with...
