Can you adjust one end of your roller w/o disturbing the other end? For my education only?
Nope, that is the quickest way to ruin a set of rear roller bearings and break the stub shaft of the rear roller at the same time.

Ok, so both ends at same time?
Let's expand that...don't put any extremities under any implement unless it is supported by cribbing, jack stands or similar!What ever you do DO NOT let your self put your legs under the elevated flail mower UNLESS it is fully supported with thick wooden cribbing.
I recently took delivery of a Titan flail mower (made in China). I have used it for about 8 hours cutting my 5 acres which had been cleared and since overgrown with weeds and brush, some 6 feet tall. My M-F 231 handles the Titan flail well (Unless you count the fence wire I ran over hidden in the weeds). The Titan is tough, well made and about half the price of Italian flails. And Titan ships free and they have good service (My mower was missing some parts and Titan offered to ship me a new one and take the original back all, no charge). I raised the cutting height to the max. Also, I have the hammer flails. Don't consider anything else for rough mowing. However, I did a few passes with it on my Bermuda lawn and the cut quality is the same as my 42 inch riding mower. Great buy. you'll need a cat 1 and about 30 PTO HP.
Note that 8.8 marked metric bolts are a rough equivalent to SAE grade 5.I also just bought a new "Titan" flail mower...72", made in China... 8.8 grade bolts ...
The original belts lasted less than 4 hours. I'm going to continue to run the flail and see how the new belts hold up.
