How fast can you go with a Flail mower? I just pooched another set of bearings in my rough cut mower that I pull behind the quad and I'm done with it. I'm usually going about 5 km an hour with it. That's about 3 miles an hour for you US guys. I've got rough terrain so I was thinking hammers on a flail when I pull the pin on one.

Good Morning Greenland South,
Your 5 Kilometers per hour ground speed for the flail mower is fine The question is whether you want another motorized tow behind or a integrally mounted rear flail mower powered by your mule- I am assuming the Mule in your Avatar is in your current stable or power equipment.
Please understand Myself and the other members of the community that have flail mowers want to help you in your decision with your needs and desired quality of cut.
With your regard to your mule:
As you want a Hammer type flail mower and as you have stated you have heavy brush to deal with I will make a suggestion for your end use:
The Land Pride Flail mowers have cast hammer flail knives ment for Orchard and Vineyard work and are ideal for heavy brush.
These specific Flail Mowers are designed and manufactured by Maschio and painted in the Land Pride colors.
The Maschio farm equipment company has been designing and building farm machinery for more than fifty years like so many other farm equipment builders in Europe
The added bonus of the Maschio Flail mowers is that they have a trash door that also allows you to open the the trash door and eject the material directly out through the rear trash door allowing the user to mow heavy brush.
The trash door is also a maintenance door allowing the replacement of the hammer knives without crawling under the flail mower or turning it on end to change the hammer knives.
=====================================================================
You have to decide if you want a motorized towed flail mower to tow behind your quad bike or an Integral mounted PTO powered flail mower first.
The Wessex Brand of motorized brand of towed flail mowers offer the option/benefit of a 4 wheel system to allow the end user to use an SUV or tractor with 2 or 4 wheel drive and having the option of high floatation tires on heavy wheels and cup and cone bearings allows the machine to last for decades in heavy use.
The Broadmoore LTD. Company is based in England and is the parent company of Wessex due to the purchase of Wessex Farm Equipment about a decade ago.
The other brands offered are "Made In Italy" and do not have a four wheel support frame for thier flail mowers.

SO you have a bit of homework to do and you can ask questions and receive real world answers from flail mower owners.
Investing in a Land Pride Flail Mower will give you plenty of power and ability to mow heavy brush and heavy grasses.
