Flail Mower Flail Mower, worthy purchase?

[JackMentink]

I have found this Flail mower that looks a little rough but could be worthwhile to purchase. What do you guys think? Is it worth $600? It is a 6 footer.

Have you visually seen it? Does it have all of it's knives? How old is it? Clean up the rust and repaint it if there isn't any rust through and it should last quite awhile. Try asking if they'll take $500 for it or less and go from there. How's the bearing in it? Consider the cost of a new one and compare it to this one even if you have to replace parts, but as long as parts are available I'd say go for it.

I've heard of flail mowers, what is their advantage over bush hogs/finish mower? How do they work? Also, how do you put pictures up cause I am dying to put some of my 3930 on!

That is one good looking refurbed unit and it was a good price too.

bought an alamo flail from a farmer in springfield last year gave $400, so I would think $600 is a bit high, nice thing about the flail I can mow the grass and run it thru the fields. the the rotating knives it rolls over rocks and stumps without much fuss unlike my brush hog

How far are you from Sikeston Jack? I just bought a 6-1/2 footer at the auction there on Monday. $150 out the door, they even loaded it on my trailer. Needs a PTO shaft, a pair of drive belts, two lift pins, and a coat of paint. Haven't sourced the parts yet, but I'm guessing the total investment should come in under $250.
