Neil explains flail-versus-rotary tradeoffs, runs the mower through waist-high grass showing cut quality and noise level, discusses the offset-swing feature, and covers build quality (Italian gearboxes, bearings) plus real parts-support experience after burning out belts. Good for buyers weighing flail mowers against rotary cutters for pasture maintenance.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment channel, a dealership, so the presenter favors the products they sell while still offering candid mechanical detail and personal usage experience.
A flail mower gives a much cleaner, more lawn-like finish with fewer leftover sticks than a rotary cutter, which tends to leave a rougher cut.
No. Despite its nicer cut, it is not a replacement for a rotary cutter and cannot handle woody debris the same way; Neil caught a three inch branch early on.
It demands less PTO horsepower than a rotary cutter over a larger cutting width; the B2650 cab used is nineteen and a half horsepower at the PTO.
Yes. It is distributed stateside by Cummins and Bricker, and Neil easily got replacement belts after burning them out hitting a stick.
