Nope not wishfull thinking,
The mounting weldments do not allow the knives to become horizontal as there is only enough clearance between the weldments to mount the grass slicers using the A, F, and B rotors and the grass slicers are punched with a round hole not a slotted one which would allow the knives to become horizontal in use from the high speed rotation of the flail mower rotor and centrifugal force.
The current weldment positions would not allow a slotted grass slicer to be used due to the close lacing of the grass slicers on the flail mower rotors used on the A,F, and B flail mower rotors.
The current rotor and weldment placings/lacings would not and could not allow adequate clearance allowing the knives to use the aerodynamics of the grass slicers ground edge to become horizontal in flight when mowing as the grass slicer knives are closer together.
The rotor types offered are a compromise of sorts as the longer grass slicers allow a higher rotor height, a lower knive count and reduced number of knive rows.
Shorter knives would allow more knive rows and better cut and greater knive counts but it becomes an issue of cost
in production and offering a product for sale at a good price in the market place
