Flail Mower Anyone using the Flail Cutter Attachment?

I've been looking for a flail that has a finish cut look. Bobcat FC200 looks good but is a little expensive. Is it worth it?

Check out the Caroni flail cutters from AgriSupply. There are a number of people on TBN who have them (myself included) and everyone seems pretty happy. The six foot model (TM1900) has a cut somewhere in between a finish and bushhog but the smaller flails are all finsih cut.

I looked at http://www.agrisupply.com/ and didn't see any front mowers for skidsteer attachment. The PTO flails look good but I like the lower profile of the Bobcat flail.

Loftness has one. Their web site is Skid steer attachment manufacturer Minnesota, Loftness forestry products MN. Look under Commercial Products, Tree Cutters/Mowers, Light-duty: Flail Mowers, Skid-steer Mounted
.

I like the hammers on the Bobcat flail better than the Loftness, but I am wondering how well they cut, that is do they approach finish quality?

Sorry, it wasn't clear in your post that you were looking for a hydraulic powered skidsteer flail. Those are typically much more expensive.
