Overview
Likely the only YouTube video showing an offset flail mower on a sub-compact tractor (1025R), this goes well beyond a simple demo. It covers why flail mowers differ from rotary cutters, how to route a mid SCV to rear hydraulics when your tractor lacks rear SCVs, real-use observations on stability and flotation adjustment, and a barbed-wire wrap incident. Best for 1025R owners considering this specific Machio attachment.
Tractor Time with Tim is a hobbyist owner-operator channel, though the creator does promote a specific vendor discount code (agfolks.com) and mentions developing a hydraulic hose kit for sale.
