Hello,
Last year for work I received a few quotes for 75hp tractor and flail mower. The JD dealers all quoted theirs with the JD 390 mower. The one New Holland dealer quoted us for a 82" Del Morino with hydraulic side shift. For a few reasons we didnt purchase the machine last year, but are looking into it again. This time opting for a center pull mower so that we can more easily squeeze through rows of trees. Trying to keep the quote low, the New Holland dealer now is quoting us for a 87" Sundown, because he said the center pull DelMorino is heavier and costs twice as much. This machine will be used to mow on wetland restoration sites and we want it to last, so I don't think it's bad to pay a few more thousand for a better mower (especially considering the total cost for the entire package).
So, what are your preferences/opinions on those two brands of flail mowers?
Thanks.
