Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
Both the FSC and BSC were mentioned. Which did you end up getting? Why?

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
The manual may be mis-leading. The length of PTO Shaft should be properly set for the tractor to assure there is proper minimum overlap at full extension, and does not bind during it's full travel distance. A binding shaft can do considerable damage to the implement and/or the tractor. There is a procedure for determining the length of the shaft and how to properly cut the shaft. If it isn't in your manual, send us a message or give me a call. We can go through it with you.

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
Caroni mower
As long as it is in line and working its fine- and the 2 inches of tube is fine as long as the mower can move up and down safely with no binding- which you would see and hear quickly.
These mowers are used with much taller tractors used for turf mowing and larger turf tires and thats why they mention it in the manual.
You would have destroyed the PTO shaft it the minute you started the mower-just be doubly sure the lower links are the same length if you have the right lower link with the crank adjuster.
time to go to work- whoopsie

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
I run a TM1900 with a DK40se so if you need specific measurements on the PTO shaft let me know and I will measure mine. I have had no issues. I did not set it up myself as Rick Wallace did it for me before delivering the tractor so I don't know if they trimmed the PTO shaft or not.

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
Hi all,
I would like to purchase a Caroni TM 1900.
Any idea where I could purchase one in Eastern Canada?
Thanks

Call AgriSupply and see if they can do it.

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
Yup,
How far are you from Pugwash, N.S?
I second what Island tractor has said on that, and "their" meaning Agrisupplys import agent
should have no issues with exporting it to you as NAFTA, as much as I hate it eliminates all
the crap about fees between the northern territories and the Carolinas.
The crate would be separated from an incoming shipment
and shipped to you if any of their stores are unable to sell
one to you immediately and ship it.
An option would be to call and find out if they have a TM1900
within thier system and have it shipped by rail via
AMTRAK to CP/freight passenger service via Norfolk Southern
and CP or CN via the passenger/mail service trains if possible
as the distance is over 500 miles to a rail freight terminal that
is near you.
If you have time for adventure perhaps a trip south by plane and then north by
rail is an option and you could arrange to have the mower loaded
on the baggage car as you would be paying for its cartage to home.

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
I was looking for the belt part # and came across my own thread here. Seems like a good time for an update. I've used the mower for two seasons (getting it ready for this one). Overall I'm very happy with it. I did manage to shred the belts late last fall, but it was probably from running over some metal wire that got completely tangled around the drum, can't really blame the mower design for that. On the whole I like the flail a lot better than the LX6 rotary cutter I had before it. Mostly because it's much more compact, doesn't scalp as much, and doesn't throw rocks anywhere near as much or as far. (It still can throw rocks, however, so be safe in terms of distances from people or pets.) Do yourself a favor and don't run over any wire or rope, it's a real pain to remove from the mower drum.

Re: Two specific questions on a Caroni TM1900 flail mower
Besides trying to avoid wire and rope, I suggest avoiding hose too. I snagged a hidden garden hose stretching across the area I was mowing. I didn't know I had snagged it and was stunned to see the longest snake I had ever seen was rushing towards me and under the tractor. I was flabbergasted until the tractor stalled and I saw that the "snake" was a garden hose. Got a good fifty feet (big snake!!) wrapped up before it stalled. Luckily I had a pair of sheet metal snips in my tool box so it only took ten minutes or so to remove the hose carcass. Amazing how quickly that flail will wrap up anything flexible.
