Does anyone here have experience with flail mowers? I realize they won’t replace a bush hog, but I am curious about what they will do and how they compare to a bush hog and a finish mower.
My questions are:
1) How does the cut compare to a finish mower?
2) Do they handle taller grass or do you have to keep the grass mowed regularly? For example, can I cut 4’ grass with one?
3) Do they typically cost more or less than a bush hog?
4) What can I do with a flail mower that I can't do with a finish mower? For example, I saw an add for one that is "offsetable" which would be handy.
5) What can I do with a finish mower that I can't do with a flail mower?
6) Can I go as fast with a flail mower as I can with a finish mower?
7) What are some pro and cons of flail mowers that anyone can think of?
Thanks!
