Flail Mower Mat Eng Equipment ( Chinese built )

[LiveRoll]

Does anyone have any experience with products from this Company? they make a full line of products, tillers. mowers, augers etc. I am contemplating purchasing a smaller flail mower, and wondering if anyone has heard / dealt / or has experience with any of their products?

I checked out their website. Interesting stuff. I like the mower with the swinging cutter thingy for reaching under fence, around posts and trees. Are they carried at a dealer or do you buy direct or what? Will be watching this thread for any updates or actual user reports.

Yes, they do have a dealership about 3 hours away from Me, I'm going to make a trip up there on Tuesday and have a look around. From the couple of Utube videos I have come across, I guess the performance is acceptable, I saw one that a bearing in the rear roller required replacement after a couple of years of use, and of course required a little machining work to re-vamp to install a North American sourced bearing. I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger on one yet, but of course the dealer tells me he has only one left of the model I'm considering.
It's hard to find a 48-60" flail mower in western Canada let alone larger ones, they just haven't quite caught on here yet.
