I'm looking at one on an auction site and am thinking about bidding on it but don't know anything about this model and really very little about flail mowers, does anyone have any experience with a John Deere 390 flail? it's centered not offset. Thanks.

My father had a JD25A finish flail mower which is a 7 foot finish flail that he used to
maintain 12 acres of reclaimed pasture land to a 2 inch cut mowing 4 acre blocks once
every 2 weeks using a Ford Jubilee.

The JD390 is an $8,000.00+- finish flail mower, so if you can win the bid on it, you
will have a flail mower that will outlive your current tractor as long as it is taken care
of and you can mow heavy tall brush easily it will just take you a little longer and the
clippings will dissolve in the soil.

This model finish flail mower is not very old either so it would be worth buying.

Thanks for the response, this one cuts 7' 6" and according to the auction it's a 2016, we will see.

Update, well I won the bid after tax and buyers fee it was a little under
$600.00, we will see if it's any good.

Here are a few pictures of it, I didn't have a lot of time this afternoon but I tested it and it seems to cut fairly well.

I'm going to work a job tomorrow and I am going to try it, probably a little trial and error learning how set it up and adjust for a good cut.
