flail

I just got a Del Morino Flipper flail mover. FLI 214 MMSS. What would one set the belt tension to or how would you figure it out? The manual basically says adjust it correctly. It is a 3 belt drive.

Looking for “Old Style” Input shaft and gear #700492 for gearbox Mott/Alamo dealers look up part # and it crosses over to 702673 gearbox assy I just need the shaft/gear assy New or used

I bought a New 2022 Betstco Flail mower EF155 and within the 1st 1.5 acres the gearbox went kaput. I greased everything and peeked at the oil level before starting it up. Then I noticed it was blowing oil out of the breather holes on the filler plug. I stopped for a moment to try to assess...

Hello all Bought a used lenar 69 inch flail mower. I sharpened the Y blades on it. Still doesnt seem to do that great of a job. Often gets tangled up with long green weeds. I noticed lots of flail mowers the blades are hanging from a C chain link. On mine the 2 blades are bolted together on the...

I have a Kubota m4D-071 with all tires on the widest setting and the rear filled with rim guard. The tractor with loader is around 7300 pounds. I can also install my almost 1000 pound grapple if needed. Also I will only be mowing flat land. No hills or ditches. Just need it for under trees and...

Yeah, this topic has been done to death here, but I have a question for those who have used both: I went to the dealer this week to get replacement knives for my flail. The guy behind the counter said I should switch to hammers because they last longer and cut just as well. Has anyone found...

I have seen some other posts on here some of you guys are experts on these mowers, hoping to get a little more info! Picked this up at the end of a farmers driveway last night for 400$. Might of got ahead of myself, i was looking for something to cut brush with.

Just about ready to pull the trigger. It is a two part purchase, 1) adding two rear remotes to the 3038e 2) ordering a Frontier FL1061S (mfg by Maschio) 61" hydraulic offset flail via my local JD dealer. The attraction to this package is the ability to cut with the unit turned vertically 90...

My tractor is 42 HP at the PTO with one set of rear remotes. I have established trails and will need to do yearly cutting to keep the brush from encroaching on the trails and fence lines. Any recommendations for a flail mower that has the most offset to the right possible via hydraulics? I’m...

I got a Sanking 61" flail a couple of days ago on Amazon for $2450 - model BGCI-155. With a lot of issues, I finally got it set up and it ran well for less than 100' but then the hammers stopped rotating. The PTO to the gearbox is fine, but there is no rotation out of the gearbox to the the...

I received the BCRM175 a few days ago, it took me the better part of a day to put it together because the directions are not very good. The directions need better step-by-step instructions and explanations. Between looking at videos and their online pics, I was able to get it together. I...

So I’m struggling to choose between a boom mower, or an offset flail. My tractor has 2 rear remotes and I’ve got a Yanmar yt359C. Yanmar specs say 52hp pto some other sources say 46… Yesterday I spent 3 hours weed-eating where either of these could have made it maybe 30 min or so.. a lot of...

Why can’t USA get this mulcher? As far a an I can tell it’s only available Kubota Australia. Does anyone know where you can get this exact mulcher in the USA or how to get this one delivered to the USA? Landpride or Kubota USA doesn’t offer it. I dont know how to add a YouTube link but here is a...

Recently acquired this mower, but the badge that’s on it isn’t the mower, but the gearbox. It’s not a form factor that I’m even familiar with. It’s got two different styles of blade and some sort of lever controlled chute. Any ideas?

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the landpride fm2584 flail mowers or the victory heavy duty extra wide flails. Both seem to be made well and heavy duty. I have 11 acres I’ll be mowing of mixed grass and weeds and little limbs that fall out of the trees under an inch in diameter...

I live in Ohio and thanks to Louis Bromfield introducing multi flora bushes ( very prolific and thorny bushes, almost impossible to eradicate) to our area, the edges of my fields are covered with them. They have to be kept cut or they extend into the fields very easily. The problem with...

ANy body have any experience with this company of it's flail mowers? I'm about to buy this 86" mode https://etractorimplements.com/product/emhd-86-heavy-duty-embankment-flail-mower/ Its quite a bit less expensive than others Thanks

Do you happen to know if this is correct? Are these Maschios made in China? I'm considering the Frontier FL1163S, which comes to about $5500 with the equine discount or a Nova Tractor BCRM175 fro $3300. My notes:

Replacing the belt on a 918L Flail mower and in need of advice or manual instruction for correct belt tension. Bought it used with no manual. Thanks!!

I will be going an auction where there is a NH 918H 8ft flail mower. I have no experience with flail mowers so I would like to know what to check for? From my investigation, it looks like the most expensive thing to go wrong is the bearings. How can I check those at an auction ? Are there any...

I have a non drive side bearing that came apart from getting wire bound up in it. I am having issues getting the center shaft of the bearing off the post. Any suggestions on how to remove? There does not seem to be any set screws in the set screw places and it will not budge.

Picked up a used FL-165 flail mower at an auction (no brand identification on it). Got it home to find out I have a bent rotor. It looks like it could be an Ironcraft (same look and color) but there is only the serial number sticker on the machine. The Ironcraft have 24 weldments on the rotor...

After talking with Dave at Earth Tools, I'm going to try preparing soil for cover crop seeding (using my 10 year old Earthway 2570 hand crank seed spreader) using my 1995 BCS 850 and 2020 30" Berta Flail Mower set to low and equipped with new scarifier blades ($98). I can't afford the Rinaldi R2...

I just inherited an old Mott flail mower, I think it's model 72, and it has the fine cut rotor. I replaced all the flails and took it for a spin today and it was vibrating like crazy, and as I revved it up, it started vibrating harder and the flails were hitting the surround and sparking. The...

Hi folks, I’m new to tractors and flail mowers. Last year I purchased the Victory Flail Mower (model: FMHDX-94 Extra Wide Heavy Duty Flail Mower). I continue to have issues breaking PTO shear bolts. As soon as I engage the PTO - the shear bolt snaps. I have a CAT II tractor (Allis Chalmers 7010...

I've been using my rotary bush hog mower for over 20 years and I mainly mow rolling pasture areas. I also have found it valuable in brushing out some smaller stuff but most of the time it is more grassy and weedy areas. I was thinking about getting a flail mower, not so much for it's ability...

I'm looking into flail mower options. Plenty of choices with more HP and category 1 or 2 hitch. Has anyone operated a flail mower behind a GC1710 or equivalent?

I found a good deal on an older Woods RD8400 the original owner was selling because he had decided mowing with a zero turn was a better way to go. Same thing I thought a few years ago, it can be faster but it will BEAT you to death. The Woods is in really great shape except for the blades that...

Hi, I've been researching small flail mowers for my 25hp CUT. There are some reputable brands I can order online, and I'd buy them based on reputation (Befco, Caroni, EA, etc.) but I'd prefer to purchase locally, and I'd rather spend less money as I'm not going to use it very aggressively. So...

We were given this flail. Name on it says Eggers-Bilt but looks like stick on letters. Anyone seen one like this and can help identify? I have a sneaking suspicion it is home made.

My goal is to much up some down branches, and firewood leftovers. And overall to be safe. Maybe also attacking blackberries. Ok, I started looking at small consumer quality skid steer forestry mulcher attachments. The attachments are almost reasonably priced, but have a ravenous appetite for...

New to me, definitely NOT new. I have the mower on blocks in the shop. I was concerned about the ugly looking gear oil and not being able to drain it completely due to the drain not being at the low point of the housing. I removed the gear box and have it hanging at an angle that should allow...

Bought a used Alamo74 cutter. One of the features is dual rear laminated, bushhog type trailing height gauge wheels. It’s also has the roller bar. The roller bar has some perforations from rust where it was sitting on the ground. Question, do you really need the roller bar with wheels? Patch...

Looking for help in selecting a trailer type to purchase with the following inputs - Current Tractor Kioti CK27HST with FEL (tires not loaded estimated tractor and FEL weight 3800 pounds) and 65 inch 3 point mount Flail Mower (900 pounds) = total weight 4700 pounds for tractor/FEL/Flail mower...

How do I prevent my mower from stop digging into the ground on turns? Are the skids supposed to be riding on the ground? I have an Ibex Flail TM62Y

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm Dan, and I'm relatively new to the tractor community. I've been loving my Kioti CK3530 tractor for the past few months, but now I'm looking to expand my equipment with a flail mower attachment. However, I must admit, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...

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...

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.

It works impressively well. Will have to see about the longevity of it since it was only 2k. I’m going to mod it so it has a door that can open on the front to mulch tall trees and vines easier. The tree I’m holding is what we call an ironwood and is a pretty tough wood.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket pulley to replace a drive pulley on a Mott 72" flail mower? I am having a hard time finding one. It needs to fit 1 1/8" keyed shaft.

In many, many other threads, when someone mentions the need to get a flail mower rotor balanced due to vibration, the response is typically "find a reputable driveline shop and they'll fix you up." I've called all of the reputable driveline shops within 2 hrs. and they all stated they can only...

Hey all I hope everyone is doing awsome! I wanted to share my experience with the WoodMaxx brand FM54 Flail mower on my Kubota BX23s. I hope this video helps anybody out there who is on the fence about getting one of these. In the video I asked alot out of that little flail and it...

Will a Land Pride flail mower FM2572 be too much for a Kubota L3130 with 25.8 HP at the PTO? One dealer said don’t do it, tractor can’t handle the heavy duty LP model. My local dealer said it’s no problem, will work just fine. I’d really like a six foot. Would a medium duty six foot model be any...
