Nuru said:Well, i decided to call BETST and talk to Keith, seems like a pretty nice guy and so I asked him a number of questions about their EF-175 Flail mower (68" cutting width). Well by the end of the conversation, I decided to try this unit out. I think it is a gamble I can take. The unit should arrive next week, and if it works as I think it will. I will paint the outside GREEN

Datvik; I would advise anyone who has one of these to call Keith and he has some additional tips on how to adjust the unit for different cutting environments. He also indicate the manual is going to be redone for the flail and the Backhoes they sell. BTW, those are rather inexpensive too! Based on the specs and what Keith was willing to commit to, I would imagine for the homeowner these might not be too bad. Don't try to kill'em and they probably will last - but I will be able to tell you more after I use it!

sunspot said:Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I would have to blind bid as it's to far away for 2 trips, one to look and one to pick up if won. Also I was only going to go about $400 on the bid maximum.

Do you yet know what the offset from center is ?
With all the concern about getting through narrow barn door openings, that info might be useful.
