On many flail mowers you can actually cut into the ground by replacing the blades with straight ones for dethatching. also helps open slots for overseeding.

As far as height in many ways it depends on your tractor. If you have a larger tractor and can adjust the 3 pt hitch to maintain the mower parallel to the ground and keep the pto shaft within acceptable angles I would think you can mow as high as you want. Of course when used like this the roller wouldn't be on ground. On our walk behinds we routinely mowed about 10-12 inches by tipping the mowers.
