Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

[electrycmonk]

Got my TS53 (Del Morino) today. It rocks! Where have you been all my life?

I looked it us...... The search engine had a hard time sorting it out..... Does yours have a giant yellow skirt all around the whole unit?

My del morino tiller is pretty nice so I can imagine their flails are too.

Peruzzo flail on Grasshopper

I can't seem to figure out how to ask a new question, so will try this. I am interested in the flail Peruzzo makes for Grasshopper mowers. Would like to hear from someone who has actually used one. All I can find in my searches are advertisements. Thanks to anyone who can steer me in the right direction!

I will caution you about doing business with the guy that sells those things as Leonz has reported some very bad and disturbing dealings with him from other members on here.

So I ended up getting the Ford 917 that I listed previously while I was hoping for the Mott. Now with all the snow(then melted) & rain, and more rain our yard is a total saturated sponge. So I haven't gotten a day yet to test it.out.

I've been re-reading all I can with search's for specifically the 917 or Ford flails and have overloaded my brain several time the last week or so.....

Congrats, any pictures? Went back a page or so and saw the ad pictures you posted. Nice pick up, how much was shipping if I am not being too nosy? Does it have Y blades?

Ditch/Bank flail mower?

I'll be using this on my farm to mow ditches and pond banks primarily.

Iowa Farm Equipment Ventura ditch/bank flail mowers

Does anyone have experience with these Flails, specifically the ditch/bank models? The one I looked at was about $1K more expensive than a Peruzzo and had an external PTO drive versus the internal drive of the Peruzzo. The Peruzzo was better finished (paint quality was outstanding) but, the Ventura was finished well too just more like a farm implement. The external drive allows more off-center reach which is nice but, the Peruzzo offers enough for me to be comfortable with using it too.

So, how do the Ventura fails rate and are they worth $1,000 more than a similar spec'ed Persuzzo with the internal drive and a bit less offset?

TIA,
Sid
