Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

[TheFarmerInAdell]

I wanted to let everyone know that National Parts - Flailmaster is currently re-organizing the company and hope to have more info available soon as to when we will be manufacturing again. We are still taking orders and continuing to service our customers should you need anything this season.

We are working on getting things altogether. Look for an announcement to come soon! For now, I am still taking orders for the parts we manufactured and others - stock is still available and I'll be happy to help y'all.

This is great news! I'm set on blades for a while, but other people are certainly in need of parts, and Flailmaster was always a perfect resource for those parts.

aslack99 - Contact Carrie with the parts you need, she might be able to help you out.

Wow, I sure wish I had known that, as I ordered a full set plus some spares from another vendor. I'm sure I will need some more in the future.

I ordered a set of replacement flails from them on June 5th for Ford 917L Special mower.
These are Alamo / Mott flails and will need slight drilling of holes from 5/16" to 3/8".



Here is someone else's photo of Mott vs. Ford flails:




I will give update once they have been installed.

My Titan Implement FL135 was delivered today, attached to my new LS MT225s. Got the hammers instead of the rough cut blades.

The name plate actually says "Cosmo Agrilculture Srl-Busca-Italia". Seems like a well put together machine.

My wife is already out using it right now, and even with minimal adjusting, the cut looks more than good enough for our uses.

Thanks for all of the knowledge on this thread. Probably saved me from purchasing 2 mowers instead of 1.

More bad news on the flail mower front on my mountain.

The Mathews Lawn Genie came out of storage today.
I spent the afternoon doing surgery on the engine. I removed the fan shroud and inlet cooling air screen and I and cleaned all the mouse nests out of it and then put it back together; checked the oil and poured in fresh gas and it fired right up for me.

Now for the bad news; I need new tires and the last time I bought new tires for it was 10 years ago.

SO I am wondering if anyone out here would be interested in the 48 inch lawn genie pick up mower.
It has been well maintained by me and everything works.


The Mathews folks still offer parts for all the lawn genies so that is not a problem and the engine still has lots of life in it and good compression.


If interested please PM me.

Hello all, my first post. I have read most of this thread and only seen a couple mentions of Mathews flail mowers.
I found one at the local Kubota dealer for a reasonable price, (for the north west anyway) haven't gone to look at it yet. My concern is availability of parts when it needs repair.
Also any opinions on Mathews flails.





This is a great sourse of information!

Mike, question one,, how many acres a year are you gonna mow??

As far as parts, 80% of that mower is hardware store, or internet stuff,,
the other 20% of the mower never breaks,, unless you grind down rocks with it,,

I have had my flail for at least 15 years,, and I mow 8 acres several times a year,,
I adjusted the belt once,, and have probably used one tube of grease over its life,,

Do not worry,, buy it,, do not wish that you had bought it,,,

I'll be mowing 5 acres, grass and a lot of pesky knapp weed. Property is flat as a board.
Can I intercgange knife blades for hammers or vice a versa?
Also the land around the area I live in sprouts rocks after the ground starts thawing, so maybe a little grinding now and then.
That's reassuring to hear of your many years of trouble free operation.

Thanks CADplans
