If you trade in the MMM or sell it out right you will save a lot of money buying a NEW FLAIL MOWER or buying a used one from a dealer or a farm auction or tractorhouse.
you might burn a gallon of disel fuel mowing your property as the rear mount flail mower requires so much less energy- it is much more efficient as it operates at a lower speed and the rotor is operating at a much faster speed with higher torque.
When I use our flail mower I burn a gallon in the wheel horse and a gallon in the lawn genie for three acres- the tractor runs withh no attachments operating which reduces the amount of fuel consumed and the flail mower runs flat out with no restrictions and the lawn is cut to finish quality with out overlapping.
The flail mower also chops the leaves, sticks and branches up as well with no issues
Just to deflate the issues with price about rearmounted flail finish mowers and provide an excellent example of Italian machinery offered for sale in the USA
I am not attempting to advertise these mowers for sale:
The 49 inch Caroni flail mower from agrisupply.com is 1731.95 delivered to your door
The 59 inch Caroni flail mower from www.agrisupply.com is $1,789.95 USD delivered to your door.
The 73 inch Caroni flail mower from www.agrisupply.com is $2,097.95 USD delvered
They have parts always in stock and these are todays prices from the agrisupply home page.
and these mowers afre built with the european mowing market in mind which involves much mowing
of rows in vineyards and lots of slopes.
Like I said a flail mower will cost less money to own and operate and it will last longer than MMM
Disclaimer: I do not represent Caroni, Agrisupply, Landpride or Kubota etc.
I am lazy and I will admit it, and I dont like MMM's to begin with because they are a lot of work and throw objects
where a flail mower will not do that and cannot because of the simpler design, and a flail mower does not require
cleaning as the blades lift and carry the grass and throw it back down and the occasional use of a garden hose
with cold water or hot water if you have it.
The flail mower knives are reversible and easy to flip which lets you use the blades for along time before
flipping them and using the other knife edge.
Sharpening flail mower blades is easy to- if you have a belt sander that is floor mounted is the easiest way to do it to get a
great edge on the knife blade even if it is caked with grass fines on the blade.
