From my experience about the same as a bush hog in similar conditions. The only thing that might be different is that with the flail you can hear the thing chewing up a bush while with a bush hog it just breaks it and flings it about. As you can hear the flail working you can adjust your speed to insure complete cutting while backing into a bush. While it is noisy in that setting it is not nearly as violent or noisy as what happens when you back a bush hog into the same size bush. It chews away efficiently at brush rather than gobbling it in one too big bite and then thrashing about.
