Nuru, just curious, what is the advantage to a flail mower? I'm really happy with my 7-iron II and not looking for a mower. Just curious what they are about.Nuru said:
Well i just decided to try one out after reading about them on another thread. My trial got cut short today after about 20 minutes of cutting my lawn high (so not to rough cut it), when all of a sudden the 3520 started shaking?billyvan said:
I immediately dismounted the flail and the shaking stopped, but when I engaged the rear PTO with nothing connected it made a noise, so I am gonna call the local dealer service and have them check it out. Something is not right with this unit, and they will find out. The local dealer has an excellent service center base on my past experience.
I hope i get it back quick.Here is how tight a fit the 3520 is in the garage/shed! I hope this comes out in order but you can see how close it is with the small R-4's. The specs indicate that with the superTurfs, the unit rides a tad bit lower than the R-4s, even though they are taller. I hope that is the case!

Looks like even a piece of gravel on the floor might put you over height.

If it were me, and I am no expert, I would hack out two tire width tracks from the floor there to give myself some clearance.
Or, you could switch to a 2530, and I'll take the 3520 cab off your hands for a small fee

Hmm, yeah you better get the noise checked out, doesn't sound good. That's what warranty is for. I did a bit of reading about the flail mowers. I take it they are a rough mower and not a finishing mower. I will have a use for a rough mower eventually, I see the flails are a lot more money than a bush hog.Nuru said:Well i just decided to try one out after reading about them on another thread.

Close fit on the garage there Nuru! But I guess the tractor isn't gonna grow and the garage shouldn't shrink so if it fits it fits! lol
thought about that but then you have to modify the floor a bit, and essentially make a couple of rampsprowley said:If it were me, and I am no expert, I would hack out two tire width tracks from the floor there to give myself some clearance.
