BOOM FLAIL MOWER REVIEW! Mow Pond Bank; DISTRESSED Camera Lady!

Implements & attachments35–45 hpJohn Deere 2038R

Overview

A hands-on first trial of a Moschio Gaspardo boom flail mower mounted on a compact tractor, used to mow steep pond banks. The video mixes live operation footage with a closer walkthrough covering the manual hydraulic controls, visibility challenges, tractor stability concerns on slopes, grease points, and a notably poor PTO connection design that required pliers to engage. Best for anyone seriously considering a boom flail mower for similar terrain.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, sharing candid impressions from real use on their own property, with a family-casual presentation style.
