    Flail and HP needed to run.

    Thanks for all the information! I decided to go with the Betstco EFGC125 with hydraulic offset. I decided on the 49” because I didn’t want the implement to be way to big for going through heavy grass/brush, plus I get the offset to get closer to fences, buildings, etc. I will definitely report...

    Flail and HP needed to run.

    The 60” is 720 lbs. The 48” is 600 lbs. My tractor is rated at 1800 lbs. at the pin, so no worries there.

    Flail and HP needed to run.

    What I have found is it’s not only how wide the flail is, but also has to do with the blade swing it has. Medium duty has a 13” swing, heavy duty has 14.5”, commercial rough is 15” swing. That is why there is a big hp difference in the 53” medium and the 53” commercial.

    Need a grapple for my tractor... help me spend some money. :)

    I definitely wouldn’t get a “cheap” grapple, one that is rated for a subcompact like a couple of guys did on YouTube with 75hp tractors and then give the grapple a bad review. I would find a grapple made for 40hp and hang in that area.

    Flail and HP needed to run.

    I have been looking at flails and obviously want one that is wider (working width)than the tractor. Betstco is the brand. I’ve talked to the sale people there and their word contradicts what the websites literature says. They said the 48” would be too big for my 25hp engine tractor, but in the...

    Flail size for MT225s

    What size flail mower are you all using? I talked to a betstco salesman and he strongly suggested going with a EFGC125(48”), but my bucket is a 54”, so I wouldn’t be able to mow next to any long obstacles.

    Buying Kioti CX2510 or LS MT225s

    I narrowed it down to two tractors in the 25hp range. The goods and the bads. Kioti: the manufacturer has been around for a long time with growth.👍🏻 I am 6’-4” and the steering wheel is in my lap(good thing I don’t have a belly), the pedals are really close, so much it’s hard for me to pick up...

    Tractor classification — HP vs torque

    I was alway told, there is no substitute for displacement when it comes to power, torque or horsepower. The ck2510 has a 85 cubic inch engine and the MT225s has a 77 cubic inch engine. In the automobile world, there is still meat on the bone(aka detuned)for the ck2510. Which would make the...
