Overview
This is a first-look field session with a 66-inch Moscow flail mower on a John Deere 1025R, filmed on a cold post-frost evening on brushy, weedy ground. The video shows actual mowing conditions including heavy fescue and frost-killed stems, notes the hydrostatic transmission as a tool for managing tough spots, and briefly touches on sizing concerns and a roller adjustment. Primarily useful for subcompact owners wondering whether a flail this wide is manageable on a small machine.
