Island - How well does the flail cut when backing into the brush? Does the roller get in the way?

There are exceptions, but typically one to four inchesTarheelfan said:OK, another question, how close or high can you adjust a flail to finish mow??
Look at your drive pullies , they are usually different sizes and are usually interchangable . Swapping from top to bottom will give you a ratio change .Agent Blue said:I have a 6' Mott flail mower that the local school system had until the ran the gearbox out of oil. I have a 1-1 right hand gear box on it but it needs a 1-3 ratio. In short lawn type grass it cut terrific and chopped the clippings to tiny bits. Tall weeds will smoke the belt drive.
One of my projects is to find a proper ratio gear box or add a geared system to get it to the right rpm. I like the way it cuts and I think my 4110 JD would have enough power to operate it in the big open spaces. I also have a ton of cutters with it which seem to cut rather than tear the blades of grass.
I didn't think parts were available for this machine as it was traded and sold for scrap price.

Price seems too good to be true considering my local dealer offers a Landpride 72" RCR1872 rotary mower at 1,595.00 + tax. Same dealer has a NH 60" flail for 2,600.00 or a NH 71" flail for 4,100.00.
