Hi guys,
We have an old 907 with some pretty tired blades. The 907 uses a common rod to mount the flails, so I have to pretty much remove all of them to replace the damaged ones, so I figure I may as well do it all. I see flailmaster has the riveted one-piece blades (same as what the machine has currently)
...and also a part listed as a "Ford Heavy Duty Blade":
I know I'd need twice as many of the "heavy duty" blades, but it still comes out to less than half the cost of the riveted part. I don't care at all if the finish is perfectly smooth or slightly ridged, and would prefer the more robust less-likely-to-snarl option if possible. We use this for cutting down cover crops of rye, oats, etc, and I'd love to be able to use it for coarser stuff (sudex etc) too. Anyone have experience with the "HD" blade? Will it go on the 907 happily with the same hangers etc? Will I still have complete coverage across the cutting width?
I searched through the massive flail mower thread for 907 specific content but there's not much to find.
Thanks!
Luke
