If you don't want back story or details, skip to the end to get straight to the questions!
So last week my wife decided she was sick of picking up sticks in preparation for me mowing with our Dixie chopper. she decided that I should get a rotary cutter so that we wouldn't have to pick up sticks...
Fast forward a week and a half and hours of research on setting up rotary cutters led me to flail mowers. A flail just seems like a better fit. I am mowing my manicured (sort of) lawn (about 3 acres) and the rotary cutter is just to high.
Research has led me to the Caroni flails. Most on here seem to have the TM1900. I only have a B2320 (19hp pto I think) and do not think a mower that big is the best choice for my tractor. The only other one that ASC has available is the TL1500 which, according to Caroni, is lighter duty than the TM series. Caroni lists a TM1600 (63") that I THINK might also work, but it does not appear that ASC (or anywhere else for that matter) has them.
Question 1: The TM comes highly recommended, the TL is lighter duty. Would the TL still be worth looking into or should I look for another brand at that point?
Question 2: I will be mowing a lawn which will have fallen limbs and have rocks throughout the yard that stick up a little (they clear my Dixie chopper blades). Which blades would be best for this application?
