Just bought a FL 165. Giving to mow just a flat mostly 2 acre yard. Have a 2025r John Deere. Took it in a practice run but grass was low. Has a M10 shear pin on the coupling yoke. Being this for more hp then mine thinking of putting smaller dia shear pin. The thing runs almost silently.I think generally speaking, more flails means a finer cut. It can also mean more maintenance. And flails made for finer work, might not be as suited to munching up brush and sticks. So kinda depends what you're gonna be mowing. My 60 inch mower only has 14 hammers, but each one is over 3 pounds and they look like a metal bear claw. But I don't mow lawns. I use it to munch up brush and weeds and so far it has been an amazing tool for that.
