I have been informed that a 4'6" slasher is the size I should be getting. Geez, it should run a 5 footer surely? 4'6" is barely bigger than the cut of my Ride-on Mower. I tried my son in laws 6 footer for a day and it handled it OK but I wouldn't buy one that big.
The other option, and probably more suited to my property is a flail mower. Again I would look at a 1.5 meter one.
I have some paddocks I have been clearing over time and need to now slash them. There are quite a few small sticks lying about and I like the idea of the mulching flail mower. There are a number of sawn off stumps that a flail can deal with a bit better. (stumps are ground level)
Different blades are available for the flail mower so if my needs change I can change the blades. Does anyone know how well flail mower blades last? I guess that side of maintenance would be higher than a slasher.
Slasher blades run about $50 a set while Flail replacements would be around $200 + .
Anyone here used a Flail on a CK30? I was looking at the Hayes brand. Good prices compared to local dealers but I would have to get it shipped from Victoria.
Any suggestions?
