Well, some of those cutters might make steering my little 'ol JD 970 kinda like turning on my pond this time of year... Real wide with alot of drift.
Nevertheless, my question to the mower owner's in the crowd is; what are the diffences between a flail mower, a brush hog type mower, a rotary cutter and a finish mower?
I'd like to buy a mower to mow the grass, small brush, etc. that grows up under our electric fence lines. In addition, I'd like to maybe mow the right-of-way lines under the power lines on my property and get rid of some of the brush and get the grass to fill in more of those areas. The fence tape is probably 2 feet off the ground around the pasture, so there's some clearance to maneuver a mower under but I don't really know what type of mower would best fit my needs.
When I was a kid, the only mowers (including windrowers) that I was familiar with had a sickle with replaceable blade sections and guards. Even the highway department used sickle mowers. Many of 'em had the old wooden pitman shaft. So, I've got pretty dated ideas about mower technology. Feedback appreciated. AKfish
