My Homemade Flail Mower

[Teigrek]

Hi
This is my first post in this section.
This summer we have built with my dad and my brother own design flail mower. The housing is made ​​of sheet 3mm, 4mm and 5mm. The rotor is made of seamless tube. Chinese angular gear is purchased in a store.
Here are videos of a working mower:

Nice job. You should be proud. What kind of cutters did you use. The '' Y " kind?

Very impressive build. It simply amazes me to see some of the projects that pop up on this forum. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words
Yes, these are the cutters, "Y". Initially, the rotor had a vibration, but we gave it to the balancing service, and is now very well even with 1000rpm PTO!
But it is still a small problem to solve: Cuts of plants wrapping around the rotor slots -in narrowing next to bearings. I will have to installed there some type of cover.

A steel ring larger than the bearing with a plate on one side, similar to a cup welded to the rotor and spaced as close as you can to the side plate might help get rid of some of the grass wrapping around the bearing.

Very nice. I knew Porsche made tractors but I never saw a Ferrari tractor.

I already solved the problem with the grass wrapping around the bearing.

I have seen in Italy a real Ferrari tractors. It's a different company than the cars Ferrari, but called the same. They produce a green compact tractors
