Flail size for Kubota L3130

[mattwb]

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 easier on the tractor?

There are no 6 foot flails that I am aware of that you can adequately run on a tractor with PTO horsepower that low. If so, they will have very tiny diameter rotors and would probably not be worth the trouble and expense of having one. There is absolutely no way at all you could run that LP. That thing is crazy, stupid heavy! Even if you could, you wouldn't want it. There are simply too many drawbacks to it. Me and some other guys got into a discussion about it a while back. If you look around you can probably find it.
