IslandTractor said:I think that is probably the TM1900 flail that I have. Cut is 1.9 meters which is either 73 or 75 inches. Your quoted price makes sense if it includes shipping. It is a great deal but not too good to be true. There are at least half a dozen TBN members with this mower and so far only good things to say (other than the inevitable and messy but otherwise harmless bubbling over of oil from the breather cap).
That bubbling oil is only a small nuisance when every thing else is considered. And it can be dealt with very easily. Just let the gear housing find it own level and then clean it off. Since your only going to change the oil at service intervals it won't be a big deal.
As far is "would I do it again?", If I knew then what I know now, I could have saved a lot of money and bought the Caroni flail mower the first time. I am buying a set of replacemnet knives this summer just to have on hand for that point in the future when they need to be cahnged but that is quit a ways off.
You will like the way the fields look compared to the windrowing of a Bush Hog type mower.
