Can anyone recommend a small flail mower for grass applications that could be handled by a tractor with a 22hp PTO and limited 3 pt lift capacity (like my Kubota L245DT)?
I need to mow about 10" high in a bunch of native grass restoration sites to keep weed competition down, and would like a mower that will not deposit windrows like a rotary does. That way, the windrows won't smother the new grass seedlings.
I'd like something like a Caroni, but most of their models seem marginally too heavy for my 3 pt lift and/or too demanding of PTO hp. Maybe I just need a bigger tractor. Anyone have a suggestion?
Alternatively, is there a type of rake that will allow me to move all of the cuttings entirely out of the field if I do cut with a rotary mower? Seems like they would just get raked into larger and larger windrows?
Thanks
