Now back to you mowing needs, When a flail mower is running well and clipping brush and grass it will sound like a big shop vac, this is how you can tell it is running correctly. No more than 5 or 6 pumps of grease in the rotor/drum bearings every time you mow. No more than 4 pumps of grease...

Good morning cptmax, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the "Flail Mower Nations" from Humboldt County in the Great State of California. As you are a first time flail mower owner you have a small learning curve to deal with and "once you go flail you never go back". Thank...

Good morning Darth_DMack, I suggested the MASCHIO or Del Morino flail mowers for your use as a new user of a brush clearing attachment because the flail mower with side slicer knives or cast hammer knives is a safer mower as it will not eject an object if it strikes a hidden piece of debris...

A Maschio or Del Morino flail mower with cast hammer knives should also be something to consider.

You should also invest in a V Belt tension gauge from Amazon or the Gates Rubber Company to help with adjusting the V belt if the flail mower does not have a spring tensioned flat snubber pulley.

Please keep in mind that the steering valves spool clearances have become worn after all this time and the machined surfaces will have worn and replacing the o-rings just does not solve the problem.

Terry, if you decide to have the local dealer pick it up make sure you send the adjustable relief valve with them as they will need it to test the relief valves in the tractor as well.

Your John Deere 390 flail mower is equipped with a 3 row finish mower rotor with side slicer knives. The knives can be sharpened with a wet well grinder easily to prevent them from losing the blade temper and hardness. I have a wet well grinder and the same side slicer knives I bought in 1992...

The problem you have is now narrowed down to the tractors hydraulic system relief pressure setting so the hydraulic systems relief pressure has to be checked. Can you have the servicing dealer come and do a service call? Setting the tractors hydraulic system relief pressure requires the use...

No, not really.

Hello and good evening, I wanted to let you know that you need to adjust the top link correctly for it to work effortlessly and also have a good cut. Please use a small bubble level placing it on the guard over the universal joint to adjust the top link to level the flail mower from front to...

So you have a narrow tall sand filter? This JD salesman is not helping you, the first thing he should have told you is you need a slope indicator mounted on your lawn mower hood. For the money spent you should invest in a set of Agrizeta tracks and use the slope gauge chart only if the used...

I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the Flail Mower Nations from the State of Florida. Happy mowing

I think that you would be much further ahead chatting with the Vrisimo folks as the flail mower cost, freight costs, import fees and taxes may be more than having a minimax converted to use a category 1 hitch by having 4 flat proof wheels added and having them mount a short tongue hitch on...

Please check with the Vrisimo flail mower folks about using their 48 inch minmax with a tow bar and 4 flat proof caster wheels as otherwise you will only be able to use the towed motorized ones from England being the WESSEX brand and from Italy. The Italian towed motorized flail mowers major...

You will absolutely love how well it collects dropped leaves and windrows of leaves built up with a leaf blower.

A deep well submersible would not last with that operating condition. You have 20+ dealers with irrigation pump experience in Colorado, one of them may be a Rainflow irrigation pump dealer. Rainflow has an Italian made cart mounted PTO driven irrigation pump for use with a tractors power take...

The major issue using one of these hydraulic pumps is a hydraulic oil leak frying the tractor and polluting the water. The HALE SUPERCHIEF floating fire pump works in 3 inches of water. It has a 2.5 inch connection and will pump 420 gallons per minute at 50 PSI. Right now it is $4,055.00 plus...

Tiller tines, bearings and the roller chain if used if it is not gear driven. An Italian disc plow from SICMA and a small disc harrow from SICMA would work well too. Contact Ken Sweet at Sweet tractors and ask about them as he is a SICMA dealer.

The Gravely side by side had no weight in the back and that is why it lost traction even with 4 wheel drive dealing with old snow pack. The major advantage for the RAMMY single stage snow throwers is the snow throwers simplicity and ease of maintenance versus the 2 stage units that have more...

That is why mentioned it as a possibility, as it would allow him to have a separable mounted single stage belt driven snow thrower and still be able to use his loader and keep his weight box on the rear.

Hello Terry, The valve poppet with the spring controls the metered flow of the relief valve. The one piece adjustment screw would have a metric Allen wrench hole in the end of it; is this what you tried to do to adjust the poppet? The nut on the threaded portion of the metering valve is only...

You have a simple double acting check valve on one port that holds in one direction and releases by using the valve on the tractor to push oil flow in the other direction. The other cylinder has an adjustable relief valve on one port to protect the boom and mower if you impact an object and it...

As I have mentioned before The RAMMY 155 Commercial single stage snow blower can be an option for anyone with a front loader as the mounting dimensions for the lower mounts are the same as the plow mounts for pickups and you could use an SSQA mounting plate to attach the snow thrower.

If the right side flange bearing has been blown apart the entire flail mower rotor has to removed to change the pair of flange bearings. Please take note of this-the ripped out seal retainer cup could be what you are observing. Please tell us more and or upload some photo images before you do...

Please post some pictures of it when you have time to send them.

Call Joel at Earth Tools he can help you.

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...

Look at the Erskine front mount snow blowers that use a rear to front PTO shaft system that is connected to the rear hitch. The Erskine people use a roller chain drive system to spin the PTO shafts that is supported by the adjustable mounting frame that can be extended or retracted to fit your...

I have no experience with inverted snow blowers. He has a small low horsepower mule with no mid point PTO for a front mounted JD snow blower and we have no idea whether he has loaded tires or rear chains that he would want to have in any case. Having a front mount snow blower with a...

You should talk to the folks at Erskine attachments about a front mounted 2 stage snow blower that can be powered with the rear PTO using a gear box and PTO shafts under the tractor before you spend any money. www.erskineattachments.com

You have to decide how much money you want to spend before you do anything. Investing in a heavy 3 point hitch mounted disc harrow with ripping discs and smoothing discs may be a better option for you.

I neglected to mention that your new tractor should have loaded tires or wheel weights.

He stated he is near Morongoro, Tanzania. Tanzania was formed from Tanganika and Zanzibar which became a British mandate property in 1919 and was granted independence from Britain in 1964.

Are you hobby farming, row crop farming or truck farming with the MX6000 or are you doing orchard and vineyard work breaking sod to control weeds? Lets start there. Can you hire a neighbor with a plow and harrow and plant a cover crop for the first year and winter wheat in the fall of the...

Hello mboncalo, Sadly, not well enough even on good volcanic soil. You need to create/excavate a deep dead furrow on one or both sides of the Hectares you are intent on plowing to start. The other issue is the disc plow may want to skip and jump if the PTO disc plow does not have a cutting...

With three hundred acres you are going to have some serious work to do. A simple route is to rent your land out for growing crops which is a much easier way to do this as you are new at this and have no idea what needs to be done let alone how. Please talk to your farmer neighbors if...

You need to look for horse drawn farm equipment, if you subscribe to the Lancaster Farmer that will be your first step to learn more.

It's more important to decide if you want one pass tillage,deep tillage(14" deep+/35.56+centimeters or not and what type of crops you intend on growing. If you want one pass tillage a Northwest Tiller will dig to 35.56 centimeters in one pass but you need a higher horse power tractor, just...

If you have good adhesion with loaded tires and R-1 tires the 1,500 Millimeter plow(4.92 feet) will be fine as you can cut deeply to break up the ground to break up the hardpan and the compaction.

Please spend more time with the torch as it is still MUCH, MUCH, too far out of round.

Hello rscotty, You are looking for a primed conventional trash pump with a basket strainer on the suction line. A new gasoline powered centrifugal pump with a foot valve on the suction line will do this for you using longer hoses if you do not want to have the loader bucket close to the water...

Hello and good morning Doug. With regard to switching from the using the original shutters to chains I would not do it. The reason for not doing it is because the folding shutters prevent absolutely everything from being ejected through the front of the flail mower, using chains will not do...

As I mentioned before you will have little over center control of the mower head other than the position of the mule on level ground. The forces created by the swinging of the boom and mower body and the combined weight of the boom and mower head are going to act like a 5 gallon pail of gear...

NO, NOPE, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your mule is not heavy enough and wide enough to counter the over center forces swing created by the mower YOU want, nor does it have a low center of gravity and you are a new user. You should invest in the model 32 as it is better sized flail...

Happy mowing blitzen, I look forward to drooling over my keyboard watching your mowing videos. Leon

It would be much simpler to take the flail mower rotor to a drive line shop as they will have a high speed balancer and the press to correct the out of round condition which is what you need.

If flail mower rotor bearings fail the knives will hit the flail mower rotor shroud and wake up the dead. If the one bearing is bad they both need to be replaced. The Mott flail mower you have has no rear roller and that is why the rear wheels are adjusted with the hand crank worm gear to...

In your original photo please look at the right side of the photo. The 7 or 8 knife mounting stations on the right side are different and would cause it to be unbalanced. Please upload more closeup pictures of the flail mower rotor. I am also worried that the left rear wheel is bent on the...

1. The left wheel in the photo is what I am referring to, the wheel connected to the shaft connecting the 2 wheels appears to be bent. 2. The D ring hangers are incorrectly mounted on the flail mower rotor

Whoever owned this Mott flail mower abused it and made a mess of it as the knife mounting stations are all screwed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your throwing belts three things come to mind; 1. a worn stretched V belt 2. the wrong V belt 3. one of the pulleys is out of alignment. The rotor is...

As long as the mower is adjusted on a level surface it will suffice. I have no idea why these slotted top links are used unless it is simply to make attachment to the tractors top link easier.

So much of this is also based on the current location of the lower links on the splines and how far they travel to the ground as the three point hitch was designed for ground engaging implements like the moldboard plow. The tail wheel of an in furrow plow aids in the control of the plows...

OK, lets start at the beginning. The 2 lower link mounting pins need to be placed in the lowest mounting holes. The flail mower must be adjusted to be level and not pitched forward or backward. You adjust the front to back level of the flail mower by placing a small bubble level on the top...

Your mules R-1 tires will not damage the sod if it is dry. You can purchase a finish flail mower in an 3-8 foot plus cut if you wish to have a wider one. You can also purchase a Rammy finish flail mower for your quad/four wheeler for much less money than a finish flail mower with side...

If you want an acre ease rotary mower with an offset hitch that is one option; but it is just one more piece of equipment to own and maintain. Your mule is going to give you a better ride than the rider or the quad and it has more power as well. Hard sod is not going to dent even with...

Flail mowers with double edge side slicer knives are able to slice brush and grass in forward and reverse if desired.

Hello Ruffdog, I have written extensively on the forum about selecting the right flail mower in many posts when folks need help selecting a flail mower. Please send me a PM so I can help you with your purchasing decision.

Hello lcalverson13, OK, let's start at the beginning. What brand of flail mower do you have or are intending to buy?? Is it a boom mounted flail shredder/verge mower with a tilting mower or a simple side shift flail mower? Candidly, you will be many miles ahead and have many fewer problems...

Call the people at San Juaquin in either Bakersfield or Wasco Ca. to get a manual for your Landini.

Do not give up yet please check with the folks at www.bostongear.com for a replacement gearbox.

Dieselscout, if you are at all interested, I have a towed 48" Mathews Company Lawn Genie for sale with a collection basket.

Hello and good morning CliffordK, www.USfarmer.com From www.equipmentradar.com Lucky you, Landini has a farm equipment dealer in California with 2 dealerships! The Landini dealers name is San Joaquin Tractor Company and they have 2 dealerships, one in Bakersfield and the other in Wasco...

With your terrain and if you intend on keeping this tractor for a long time investing in a set of Agrizeta rubber tracks for the front and rear, a set of tracks will give you great traction and no flats.

Yes, that it is what Rinierie is describing exactly to the reader meaning the flail shredder can be mounted on the front of a tractor with a front three point hitch and power take off as well as the rear power take off. The galvanized shields/folding shutters that are in front and the rear are...

Spending a bit more for a flail mower will only pay you dividends 10 years down the road as you will be able buy parts and have a machine that will last and barely grunt at a workload. The 48" Vrsimo Minimax is built in California and sold nation wide. The flail mower rotor bearings and real...

I love seeing that Mott Interstater Flail Mower on the back of your Landini, how old is the Landini? Are the side panels missing on your mule?? A new replacement rear roller will help you a great deal if you decide to invest in one and new bearings and bearing mounts. The rubber guard is...

A Buffalo turbine is a multi purpose high velocity blower for leaf and grass clippings, spraying pesticide mists and dust control etc.

What brand flail mower do you have mounted on your mule/tractor? What type of knife is it equipped with, formed spoon/scoop, side slicer/cast hammer? The rear roller serves five purposes, (1) to prevent scalping (2) to prevent damaging the mower knives (3) damaging the flail mower rotor from a...

Adding to what I mentioned above, replacing the worn out rear roller will also increases the mowers structural strength bringing it back to new condition

I am sending you a PM.

Happy Mowing. Having tail wheels on that beautiful Flail Mower is something you will be glad you have on your Flail mower.

You need a 12 point box end wrench. The oil seal looks to be damaged. I guess for now you could use corn picker grease. The gearbox vent should be checked to make sure its open as it looks like it was walloped at some point.

Depending on the size of your hay field you may be better off hiring a custom spreader and truckload of hammer milled lime which would be less expensive in any case.

Please send an e-mail to Seppi in Ohio with pictures to identify the flail shredder you have before you go any further as your flail shredder requires the cast hammers. www.seppi.com

The skids on your flail mower are not supposed to be on the ground. The rear roller is used to adjust the cutting height of the flail mower. Use the top link of your tractor to raise the mower slightly to keep the skids off the ground as long as you have the rear roller adjusted correctly.

Does any of this driveway have a drainage ditch? Do you know whether they dug a wide trench to build the driveway and dumped stone in the wide trench? You would be better off renting a small ride vibratory roller to pack it down until you have it fixed with drainage and black topped. If...

Good morning, I have owned and operated flail mowers for over 4 decades and I have written about them extensively here on the forum on the lets talk flail mowers thread. As you are located in the United Kingdom the only brand I would suggest to you invest in is a Wessex Flail Mower. The steel...

If you have not made your mind up already I suggest that you buy the 36 inch cut model only. The 5 horsepower per foot recommendations offered by some is nothing but a guide. Your hydrostatic drive tractor consumes a great deal of power and a PTO powered implement will drain it of more power...

Can you upload pictures of the flail mower please? I need to see the cylinder mounting points. The tilt cylinder has to be the right size to allow it to travel below horizontal and also be fully retracted to vertical. You need the "exact" cylinder for this flail shredder/mower otherwise you...

Which one of the four models of the L3940 mule do you have??? Does your mule have the 8 speed, 12 speed or hydrostatic transmission? The Pronovost family has made farm machinery for 5+ decades and they make excellent snow blowers for heavy Canadian winters. It all depends on how much money...

Just remember when buying a snow blower the heavier a snow blower is the stronger its frame will be.

The cost, implement complexity, parts availability, servicing ability to adjust and or change V belts, location of grease fittings and overall utility of the flail mower go hand in hand in making a decision for a flail mower or flail shredder. Try not make a purchase decision based...

Before you wander into the weeds, you should contact Pronovost in Quebec, Canada and ask where they buy thier speed increasers for thier snow blowers. You have to understand that a speed increaser may not work well with a tiller AND changing V belt pulleys and belts will not gain you anything...

Have you looked at hydraulic bale clamps for the large rectangular bales? Loading the trailer in the field and then weighing it on the road with the certified pad scales seems so much simpler to do.

I will relate what a friend of mine in OZ does with his mowing contracts, he lowers his front loader nearly to the ground while he mows to avoid damaging his tractor or his MASCHIO flail mower. and he has a belly mounted landscape rake from what I remember of his mowing set up. It may be...

Thats not going to matter much if you get pulled over, they look at the gross weight on all trailer axles with thier scales. You need to have a county certified scale ticket for legal tender. Short of buying a trailer with a load cell body you should stick with the drive over scales and a...

Most all gear and vane pumps and gear and vane motors have case drain plugs in the neck of the pump or motor. If they are using a geroller motor for a pump it would also have a case drain plug in it. The oil lines should be kept the same size as the attachments to prevent cavitation...

You have to keep in mind that these things have load cells and transducers and load cells go bad and get expensive. You may not agree with this but your trailers tare weight is going to affect how much you can transport legally. Your net weight is the weight of the hay load. Your tare...

Buy a one bottom 12 inch depth plow and then use the tiller on the new mule. Just make sure the rear wheels are pushed all the way in as you need to break up the wheel compaction on each pass.

No, he is saying the problem is the needed fluid power to develop torque. An open center hydraulic system provides flow at a low pressure in a hydraulic system. The attachments that are driven by the hydraulic fluid create the resistance to flow that the back pressure created by them is...

Have you invested in these attachments???????????????????????????????????????????????????? You will need more than 25 gallons to fill the tank, hydraulic hoses and the pump and YOU need an oil cooler. Hydraulic driven skid steer attachments are high oil flow oil attachments requiring 30+...

You need to watch videos of a stone burrier working before you make a decision, it will change your mind.

Flail mower bearings should always be replaced in pairs. Metal fragments are always an indication of bearing failure. I need to know which model rears flail mower, its cutting width, whether you have hammer knives or side slicers and the year of its manufacture.

If it was a high pressure hydraulic hose it would have the 4/6/8/10/12 or 16 size markings and would have 2 wire, 4 wire or 6 wire braiding indicating the number of woven steel layers between the innermost layer of rubber and the skin on outer sheath of the hose as well. If it has a marking of...

The real adventure comes when you have an Oliver tricycle gas mule and you are crossing a small ditch with a hay wagon filled with thrown hay bales from a john Deere hay baler; you are reminded the hay or silage wagon you are in front of only rests on the 2 axle running gear. A friend told...

If this property is a long term investment you need to invest in a stone burrier for your tractors horsepower. that is the only you are going to manage it.

If you are at all familiar with small towed trailers, they have safety chains welded to the trailer hitch to prevent a runaway trailer if it breaks the hitch ball connection on the car or pickup bumper. Both lengths of safety chain are long enough to cross each under the stationary hitch...

A kerosene fired space heater will melt all the ice and snow out of the snow blower in a half an hour and dry it out at the same time.

I keep waiting for mk martin to use the original smaller single stage snow thrower rotor design that Reist Industries sold them as their larger snow blower rotors are a terrible mismatch for the design width for these attachments and they need a speed increaser.

Use Fluid Film on the entire snow thrower rotor and the paddles in several coats. The single stages do well with all types of snow. With heavy wet snow you generally clear it while is it snowing or just make a slow first pass and then take a half or one third cut to prevent it from plugging the...

The lower weight ore jennies are designed to fit over the dump pockets that fill the lake frieghter's cargo hatches specific width as a standard hopper car with its belly dump doors cannot be dumped on the ore docks from one side.

Hello Cycledude, you will get them faster if you order from them directly, I had mine in 5 days for my walk behind snow mule.

How far are you from the coal mines? You may want to change the wheels to skids by purchasing a set of snow blower skids sized for your specific snowblower from www.snowblowerskids.com As this is your first season with this snowblower and mule you should invest in a couple of aerosol cans...

Hello Kieth, It is no wonder why your getting all that splatter as there is no shield at the front to stop it. Your doing the right thing by putting that curtain across the rear of the tractor.

Hello Kieth, my other question is this; do you operate the spreader fully elevated like this when spreading the No. 8 limestone and rock salt? The pendulum should not be any higher than the centerline of the rear axle. It will work ok with the spreader near the ground level.

Kieth, could I pester you to remove the bag and take a picture of both sides of the spreader near the back? If you have had this problem since the beginning of ownership its either an adjustment issue/missing shield or a defect of some kind as these machines were designed to prevent this...

Good morning sixdogs, :eek: YEE HAAA, I bet you were shocked when that happened, I sure was the first time I used the vicon spreader pop rented to spread fertilizer. The huge torque value created by the 540 RPM reduction gearing through the cam arm that wags the pendulum tube is massive and...

Hello and good morning six dogs, I neglected to add to the note about washing the pendulum spreader after every use when I added my note about investing the Vicon Pendulum spreader for his use. The beauty of the pendulum spreader is that he could use concrete sand instead of the limestone...

The only thing you can do with a spin cast spreader is reduce the flow or do a massive surgery by having long enough steel arms welded lower frame arms to hold large enough sheet metal plates to create baffles to stop the over spread. If your home is going to be "YOUR HOME" for the "long...

You should spend the money on a PTO powered tree transplanting auger. The work will go with less strain using your power take off and a planetary reduction gear drive for the auger. The relief valve in the loaders oil circuit will dump and stop quite a bit while you are digging and the auger...

With a tree transplanting auger you have a hole that is larger at the top and all the soil has been pushed aside away from the hole until you reach the bottom and the remaining soil in the auger flighting is spun off the auger flights. Is your PTO horsepower too small for a PTO powered auger?

What everyone neglects to look at is the net resistance of all soils due to compaction. I explained this in detail to my brother before he invested in a post hole digger for his Agco mule. I told him that he should invest in a small tree transplanting auger as the post hole digger will...

You may as well call them today in East Canuckistan as they do not have a good owners manual and you cannot blow the manuals up to read them the way their web page is set up. If you speak the french language fluently all the better for you to chat with them.

Have you looked at the front mounted RAMMY single stage snow thrower commercial model 155 for snow removal?

I have both an 2 cycle TORO S200 and a 2 cycle TORO GTS CCR 3000 and they are constantly trying to get out of the garage by clawing at the bottom panels of the garage doors. I would still have all four of my snow pups of they had not died by having a side frame failure.

Have Fluid Film on hand in a warm Aerosol can to spray on the paddles and chute, keep the snow blower under a tarp to protect the battery contacts and do not leave the battery in the cold as it will not run well. Before you go any further look at the 110 VOLT TORO POWER SHOVEL as it weighs...

Hello Jeff, Spend your hard earned money on the John Deere 290 flail mower or the John Deere 390 if your mule can lift it. The John Deere 290 or John Deere 390 flail mower will provide you with a trouble free drive system with a three row finish cut side slicer knives that will be easy to...

Yes, you can easily use a flail mower with 2, 3 or 4 rows of side slicer knives to do this. The cup, scoop or hammer type of flail mower knives will not recut the grass and leaves as they cannot create the amount of suction lift required to do this. If you would like help in buying the...

Buy a bunch of buckets from lowes and a truckload (<10 tons) of concrete sand and fill the buckets up half way and keep them in a warm place that is the only way to manage it. You need to have a place to scrub your boots too when they have warmed up and melted off.

The smallest VICON or the HERD scoop spreader on the rear would work.

Heat pumps are a very expensive animal if they lose a circuit board and do not heat well at all in sub-zero weather as my brothers found in thier rental properties. I do not use salt, if I have to deal with ice, I use concrete gravel sand. I would chat with your neighbors and invest in a...

If you do that you have to account for the movement of the chute in the opposite direction. You would have to be able to spool up the winch cable to move it left and at the same time and at the same time unspool cable to allow it to move left and do the same in reverse to move the chute to...

It would be better for you to rent a toro dingo and a tree transplanting auger than investing in an unknown auger like this as the Toro Dingo and the tree transplanting auger will dig the holes much easily as the bottom of the auger is always working with less effort as the soil around the...

When you slide off and drop over a driveway ledge while clearing that you cannot back out of then call me with your thoughts on front mounted snowblowers that get hung up because of the frame and you cannot get traction because the tires cannot grip because the under frame is preventing it.

You have never gotten a tractor with a front mounted blower stuck to the point where you have no traction then eh???? Its not hard to do even with 4 wheel drive mule.

Your missing the snubber pulley spring I believe. call Messicks on Monday and order a manual for your mower.

You may as well invest in some slippery UHMW sheeting from Mcmaster Carr to bolt to your plow face with grade 5 ribbed grain elevator bolts and with the supplied nuts as you will be dealing with this problem every year. They come with standard coarse thread nuts and you could use blue loctite...

Rent a WW shredder/hammer mill for a day with a small screen, they have 8 horse power for hammer milling. The shells have plenty of natural oil in them for a fire to heat your home.

I would check with every other FECON dealer around you and ask about a day rental there are 15+ FECON dealers in your area.

Rent a Fecon Mulcher for a day or two and stop worrying.

Fine dirt can block the fuel line to the point where it will croak and then the vacuum will end and then it cans start again. I would use some alcohol to break up the fine dirt and wash it out with hot water and dawn dish soap. Gum deposits in the carburator will also do what is happening to...

No, you need to worry more about cleaning the couplings on the snow blower and the new mule before you couple them.

Please check with the folks at Boston Gear as they may very well have a compatable gear box for that beautiful snow thrower.

I really wish that John Deere would start making single stage snow blowers again so I put one on my E100 :cry:

Be careful about your PTO shaft as you may end up having to measure twice or three times and then cut it since the quick hitch does not work.

I too look forward to hearing more about your snow thrower.

You should contact the local Spider mower dealer in your area to see if they will rent one of thier all terrain low profile 4 wheel drive mowers or a contract mower who might be able to come by with a spider mower and mow your property for you.

Have you called a local FECON dealer to see how much renting the smallest forestry mulcher will cost for a day???

You would be much better off renting a FECON tracked mulcher for three plus days for the amount of money spent on a new machine as you would be able to clear every acre and mulch below the ground to rip up roots and stumps to clear the land and perhaps cover it with plastic mulch to kill off any...

Your problem sounds exactly like a sheared key to me.

Spend a bit more on a rear mounted heavier snow blower like a Pronovost Puma. The Pronovost family has been building farm equipment and snow blowers for Canadian winters for many decades. You have to keep in mind that a front mounted snow blower will have a heavy belly mounted frame that...

You should also check with the local FECON mulcher brush mower dealer near you as there almost 30 of them around you to see how much a daily rental for a small tracked mulcher would be as it would be able to clear this in less than a day and then go back and grind everything back below ground...

You should look at the Kubota RTV900 and order a set of 4 agrizeta steel tracks from Joel at earth tools as you will have plenty of floatation with a set of agrizeta tracks whether that are steel or rubber. The agrizeta steel tracks have cleated sections that dig in the soft ground to provide...

The sooner it starts snowing in B.C. and Washington I will be able to do things outside as the smoke odor hand really heavy on the hills here.

The Pronovost family has made farm equipment for many years and it is of very high quality. 1. How you operate your tractor is very important as the maintaining the required engine speed for power take off to operate at 540 RPM is as important as the travel speed in reverse. Taking half cuts...

Hello and good afternoon AB4D, Your mules available PTO horsepower places a limit on how large an orchard and vineyard shredder flail mower with hammer knives you can have. One pair of remotes limits you to a simple side shift model which will be an easier implement to take care of. 1...

Please check to see if your policy also has replacement value coverage for your 3033R. You should have it in case you are a victim of mule theft.

Hello Terry, I am glad for your sake that you were able to obtain a replacement weldment for your flail shredder quickly. They have obviously had trouble with this weldment previously since this flail shredder was offered to the flail shredder market. Please fill in the pin holes at the end...

Apparently neither Sims, Curtis or the Original Tractor Cab Company offer full cabs for your mule. Damage like that cannot be repaired as the cabin is considered compromised. It would cost you less to have the cab replaced most likely but a new mule will have the advantage of local dealer...

Good morning Yogi05, There is no reason you could not use the FOTON or the Tym for this snowblower. The issue is clearing speed as you do not want to travel too fast in reverse while clearing is you could plug the chute and cross augers and shear a pin. The previous owner purchased this...

You have a worm adjusted depth control on that cultivator if my memory is right. I hope the hand crank has not been broken off. You need to contact the folks at www.kongskilde.com with the serial number and model number of this cultivator to obtain the right spring clip that holds the adjuster...

Post a picture of the flail mower rotor with knives mounted on it please. If the flail mower rotor is not balanced you will lose another set of bearings.

A finish flail mower or a flail crop shredder with side slicers or hammer scoop knives will work very well as long as the hammers or the knives are sharped properly.

Since your mule is a well built TOYOSHA made 12 forward/3 reverse gear in 3 speed ranges (Low/Medium/High) tractorwith only 23 horsepower(claimed) at the power take off the only mower that will give you adequate brush clearing and mowing is a 60 inch cut flail mower. A gear drive tractor will...

You need to rent an engine hoist for a few days to do it as efficiently as possible as you need to fully remove the flail mower rotor to do the repair. Have you checked with Ohara machinery or Cazenovia equipment to see how busy they are?

Hello Mr. Yuan, Did you receive the manual for the Lawn Genie Pick up mowers that I sent you? High speed balancers are a pricy item for small repair shops unless they do a great deal of drive line manufacturing in house. Engine rebuilding shops will have high speed balancers in house...

Buy the physical book from Deere for the 25A flail mower SKU PC0938 $13.55. Go to staples and buy a 1 inch 3 ring binder and enough sheet protectors to protect the copies of the sheets of the flail mower book. Have Staples make copies of each sheet of the book. You need to remove the...

Good evening Mr. Dunn, The flail mower knives are attached to the flail mower rotor using mounting straps with mounting holes that hold the knife hangers that carry the knives.

You will be money ahead and better off renting a 4 wheel drive aerial lift and buying a full body harness to do all your pruning. Investing in a Stihl pole pruner with an extendable drive shaft and a heavy hedge pruning head and chain saw head will cost you much less money and will let you...

UGGHH!! Starting at the beginning, if you really intend to keep this flail mower you are going to spend a great deal of money. Both Flail Mower rotors should be taken to a repair shop with a high speed balancing machine(2,200 RPM+) to balance them CORRECTLY. If the repair shop has a high...

Hello redcar98, What model Del Morino Flail Mower do you have? You may have a great deal of fine dust in the adjuster track that is preventing the adjuster from fully releasing to allow you to install the V belts if they are the correct ones. If you have fully released the snubber pulley and...

Nope, this is a flail topper, flail defoliator it is ment for topping/shredding off the leaves of mature sugar beets, peanuts and potato's prior to harvest. Have any of the New Brunswick sasquatches been seen lately?

The only other option would be a MASCHIO boom mounted orchard and vineyard crop shredder/verge mower.

Hello Torvy, If you can live with/make good use of a standard flail with no side shift or extended boom with your mule you should look at a wider Vrisimo flail mower.

All the more reason for a wide cut single stage self propelled snow blower. Heavy 12 and 14 gauge extension cord snakes are the worst and they bite!!

www.micromark.com Go to the home page and click on the digital catalog and flip the pages until you see the wet well slow speed grinder on Page 65 of the Micro Mark Catalog listed as "wet dry utility sharpener" It is $99.00+tax and shipping to your home.

The best way to grind the flail mower knives and cast hammers is to use a wet well grinder. It prevents the knife from overheating and in the process losing its tempering properties.

If you do this the flail mower rotor will become unbalanced. The best thing to do is simply remove the opposite knife mounting station if you do not have the identical knife to replace it and raise the cutting height of your beautiful flail mower.

Which brand of flail mower to you own? Each brand of flail mower has a different method of adjustment for the proper belt tension.

The 5 horsepower per foot rule is simple hearsay and a marketing gimmick and not a useable means to determine the needed PTO horsepower for a flail mower or rototiller.

Hello and good afternoon aclarke, A 48" Del Morino or Maschio boom mounted orchard and vineyard crop shredder for your kubota will work well for you as it will allow you to mow close to fence lines and when fully extended it will let you mow in a spiral from the center and clip the pasture at a...

First be sure the rear roller is set at the lowest cutting height which requires the rear roller to be mounted at the highest adjustment point(mounting holes) on the side weldments. Remove the cast hammers and install the side slicer knives, you will be able to recut the clippings and heavy...

First question: Is it the horizontal fitting or the unpainted vertical fitting in the image the one that is leaking? Second, I need to pester you to take another photo image more to the left as I believe the JIC fitting was cross threaded. I will wait for the new image and your reply as I need...

Invest in a hydraulic top link and plumb in in 2 tees in the cylinder ports to allow you to allow you to let the top link float using the remotes.

If the top link is not adjusted to make sure the flail mower gearbox is level while mowing it will scalp the ground. Can you make use of a lawn roller filled with water or sand to help with smoothing the lawn out after a heavy rain?

If your shopping you should also look at Valley Tool/Vrisimo for a flail mower attachment.

It will be less expensive to fix the draft control on your mule rather than install gauge wheels on your flail mower as you need four of them and adapting them to mow 6 inches high will take a lot of work. I have no idea how much replacement bush hog caster wheel weldments would cost as you...

Bon Jour, Monsieur Adlox, I wish to welcome you as the newest resident member of the Flail Mower Nations from Rancon, France. As you have the side slicer knives on your beautiful Del Morino flail Mower you can simply reverse them and obtain another 9 years of mowing with them.

Scoop/spoon/hammer knives face the rear wheels, side slicer knives have 2 cutting edges.

If you are cropping this land and have that many glacial rocks from frost heaving you should rent or buy a rock picker to dig them out and rent out the rock picker for extra income.

If you have that much acreage and plan to buy more a towed 15 foot Hiniker flail shredder that will let you tow the flail mower within the traffic lane with its tow hitch would be better suited for this.

Talk to Joel at earth tools, you really need his advice. Renting a bobcat from a bobcat dealer and one of their hydraulic flail mowers would be a better option for only yearly mowing.

OK, If the flail mower does not sound like a shop vac vacuum cleaner it is not creating the amount of pressure gradient/suction to lift the clippings up and over the flail mower rotor and the flail mower rotor is not spinning at 2,200 RPM+. Tall, thick, dense brush requires the user to...
