Pulled the trigger on a FEL Trailblazer Flex Mower today

SetterDog · May 22, 2021

Thursday, I was cruising YouTube and ran across Messicks "Crazy Neal's Deals." It was $200 off the Trailblazer Flex Mower. A while ago I was talking to a Trailblazer vendor closer to the house than Messicks, he told me I could run the Flex mower from a rear remote as long as I plumbed the return to the return to sump on my Kubota L4760. Messicks told me to run it off PTO pump and not to run it off a rear remote.

I would really like to run it off the tractor, so I can run / have a Bush hog attached.

Thoughts?

In the perfect world, I want to get a monoblock soloniod hydraulic valve from Summit with the "D spool" so I could run it off a mushroom switch.

Thanks!

If your tractor has sufficient hydraulic flow and cooling capacity the trailblazer should work. Just be sure to have some rundown feature for when you stop the oil supply to the trailblazer

trailblazer will change speeds when you operate the loader functions

When I looked at them the dealer recommended the pto power pack for much continuous use even though my tractor
has the hydraulic flow. How much you going to do? For how long? A lot of up and down? Do you want that cutter motor using the same fluid as your hst?

Have many places it sure looks handy. Notice they redesigned after a few years of the initial models.
