    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Not "near new"...but really solid condition. It's an '02 and I would have assumed probably originally used by a highway department or something, but doesn't look like it's had that kind of heavy use. Heavy duty side slicers were put on new last year and not even used so I shouldn't have any...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Another update.. things went much better last time out. On my Value Leader mower it's crucial to have the scraper bar as tight as possible, I can't see how others can run without one unless this mower just doesn't mulch well... Only two small bolts to hold it in place and I had to tighten...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I don't know if they put a different tach/speedo in the models with the dual range transmission or not, it's just a possibility. Regardless, I physically measured pto rpm so I know where the tach needs to be to hit 540.. It makes a big difference. What I first measured pto rpm I had left the...

    Standard angled side cutter pairs. This afternoon I changed the points, condenser, cap, and rotor and no improvement. Had to buy a timing light since I have no idea where mine went...probably threw it out a few years ago since I hadn't needed one for ~20 years... Was hoping the other stuff...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Got some decent mowing done today and took some pictures of the area I'm having trouble with.. The first picture is what it looked like after I mowed days ago with the mower high and how the tall stalks are still standing... Second picture is after I just went over it again with the mower...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I went out yesterday with the grass wet to try the lower height and mowed an area that was only around 12" tall so I wouldn't get grass wrapped up in the roller again...it cut pretty nicely... Today was nice and sunny all day, was going to go out late afternoon and mow a taller area but the...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I thought I had gotten a picture of some of the stuff that it leaves standing, but apparently didn't.. Anyway, I've figured out the problem, it's the same as when I mowed outlots earlier this year with a Gravely zero turn. The problem is stalks that are tall enough that the front of the deck...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I haven't had a chance to take any pictures of areas mowed or anything yet, but figured I'd at least post initial impressions of my Value Leader EFG-175. It was pretty heavily protected in a welded angle iron frame that had to be cut apart. Everything seems to be heavily built, the only thing...
