I bought this one here:
PK-AT Gas Flail Mower |
for $1600 plus tax. Should have offered less, they grabbed offer right away.
Those are imported from China and sold online for around $900 plus importing expense.
I mowed twice with it, yesterday being a long mow, around 2 hr.
It actually mows very well. I bought because of the wtland, I have to mow over puddles and mud pits. So I use SXS to pull it behind, as SXS does not care, goes anywhere.
I have 59 inch version. Not sure how wide it is with wheels.
Spoke with their tech, he swares it's same Honda engine, told me they charge him $45 to put HONDA sticker onto it, as it's made in the same factory Honda engines are.
Yes, it's a bit tight hard to turn and takes learning curve to figure how to properly pull it. I have severla tight spots in my property, around trees and fence corners, so I left that for my ol' faithful craftsman and trimmer.
But overall, it saved me about 2 hrs of mowing, as I can mow at high speed (7-8mph) and it leaves pull table smooth surface.
Goes very well over bumps in the property, I have **** for grading. My 60 '' ZTR takes 4.5 hr to do entire property with some trimming left. I did yesterday 80% of it in around 1 hr 40 min with flail.
2 things I really miss in it - gas gauge and remote shut down. You can install battery and it will crank engine with starter for you.
If you have long straight runs to mow and plenty of space to turn - that thing is great!
