Overview
A side-by-side field test on Joe's Tennessee farm, running a Bomilite flail mower and a rotary cutter (from Titan/Ironcraft) through thick, wet brier and matted grass on a TYM 5520. Beyond the head-to-head result, he explains slip clutches vs. shear pins, deck rust concerns, and how to size implements to usable PTO horsepower. Best for budget-conscious buyers weighing whether a flail mower's higher cost is justified.
An owner-operator channel run by a family on a 125-acre Tennessee farm, so the perspective is practical and hands-on rather than dealer-driven, though Joe discloses a partnership with Heydon and received the Bomilite flail mower for demonstration.
