Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

[Aquamoose]

Does anyone own any self-powered flail mowers? I have one that I use to pull behind my ATV but I'm thinking of adapting it to pull behind my 35hp tractor (no PTO) and use the tractor rear remotes to control offsets left to right to maneuver around my 10 acres of pine trees. Any ideas?

PRCWI according to the ebay ad it was supposed to be, not! And there is another seller selling the same non EOM belt also. I will keep it just in case but the OEM belt will be installed as soon as I get it.

I just love this mower, truly amazing...and I am looking for the 88 as well, if I find a good deal like I got on the 74

Yep, I can see a very tight spiral.

I can also see straight rows of hangers slightly offset from the previous row.

That's just the coincidental result of spacing them around the spiral at some even spacing that divides evenly into 360 degrees. Just a lucky coincidence you see. It's a spiral for sure!

I'm curious. Do the current line of flail mowers drive the cutter drum at PTO speed or does the gear box over-drive it? I've noticed that most have only one drive belt. My flail has three drive belts but I suspect that's because the larger drive pulley over-drives the drum pulley about 2:1 or there about.

Leonz - You're a good man. I did sharpen the knives last winter. I guess the answer is to toughen my ...s in the tractor seat more often to prepare it for 3K mile trip on my Ducati Multistrada this summer from New Mexico to Montana. Only other option at this point is a Caroni 1900 or a Landpride.

From what I read it is around 2.1 ratio. The one I am ordering has 3 belts. FLAIL MOWER HPHD1500

Have done some sanding priming and prepping my Alamo for final paint. This is after all the prep and 2 coats of base yellow. Did work it for a weekend and hope to do the final paint job later on this week. Hum, now I am having trouble uploading pic:confused3:

They may too large now after the Forum Sever Upgrade. Try re-sizing down to 800x600 or smaller.

Thanks Xfaxman I am using my Samsung tablet and they are big...ooops....do have the option to downsize, so I will give that a go.
