He covers durability, a bearing seal issue needing grease maintenance, ballast benefits from its weight, and mentions Mechmax as a similar alternative. Best for BX owners wanting long-term ownership feedback, not spec shoppers.
An owner-operator on his Minnesota property sharing hands-on, apparently unsponsored impressions from years of using this implement.
Yes. The BX has about 17.7 PTO horsepower, and the owner says the flail mower doesn't struggle at all, moving just fine.
The owner replaced the hammer blade bolts due to wear, repainted it, and regularly greases the rear bearings since the seals have become unsealed.
Yes. The owner keeps it on the tractor most of the time partly because it's heavy, about 600 pounds, which makes great ballast.
The owner says he can't believe he hasn't broken it after 4 to 5 years of clearing brush, logs, and even some barbed wire.
