We were given this flail. Name on it says Eggers-Bilt but looks like stick on letters.
Anyone seen one like this and can help identify?
I have a sneaking suspicion it is home made.

I like the chain drive. You should be able to find replacement chains. Just need the width, pin diameter, and pitch.

That really has a lot of offset.

That mower has too many details to make me think it was home built, including very regular shaped arches for the hitch tilt adjustment.

Sorry, I don't have an ID, but post a link and some photos in this thread, and you may get some more responses.


I was surprised yesterday when I posted a 30 year old mower and had an ID within minutes.

Actually have the chain so should be ok there!
Here is the interesting thing to think on.
The larger and smaller "tube" section look a lot like pipe that was cut down and used.
The two circular sections with all the holes look just like pipe flange we would weld to the end of a pipe.
All of the 3-point A-from is welded in place and looks like it may have been a mod or a complete fabrication to fit the tractor it was once on.

Don't know, just speculating!
The thing is solid though.

I wonder if some of these were county owned. And, that one could have been designed to mow road shoulders and perhaps ditches.

Interesting idea and very well could be.

With the offset, I think you are correct.
