The big thing I notice about the Titan flail mower is that the flails are not Y-shaped like most other flail mowers. You can see closeup pictures if you search ebay for "Titan flail mower". They're a sort of 90-degree bend. The description says "forged hammer flails". I'm new to flails and trying to learn more about them - does anyone know anything about hammer flails and how they perform differently from Y flails? Perhaps this explains why they say it cuts up to 3" saplings?
====================================================================
Lets correct a couple of misconceptions.
A "side slicer knife" is an entirely different type of mowing knife than cast or forged hammer knife.
The issue is quality of build in the hammers and "their" "advertising"
They are not telling you whether the metals used to make the flail hammers is
an I.S.O. tested metal in its casting and forging quality for these knives
Castings are only as strong as their collective design and raw materials used to make the steel period.
Their forged(supposedly) flail/hammers/knives are a design compromise
as the typical cast flail hammers made by Italian and other fabricators are
much, much, much more substantial in weight and thickness.
Shredding bamboo is much more different than clearing solid stands of sumac,
hardwood or softwood trash tree saplings or heavy thick stemmed brush that
has been growing on farmland that has not been farmed in 30 plus years.
You need to read the entire flail mower thread-yes all of it to understand more about them before you even consider making a purchase.
