Flail Mower Betstco FME flail

mcomb · Jun 17, 2019

Does anyone have experience with the Betstco FME flail mowers? They describe them as light commercial. I was going to order one of their medium duty models but the one I need is out of stock and they offered me a deal on the FME in the same size. I can't find any reviews of them, they look similar to their normal flails that have gotten decent reviews here but with a boxed 3pt frame and maybe a couple other enhancements.

I have the EFG flail, which is the heavy duty model I believe . . . but the only difference is the thickness of the skin (I think), anyway its been bullet proof over 5 years now . . . same manufacturer.

Yeah from what I can tell the FME is very similar to the EFG except for the 3pt mounting frame. I just can't find any reviews of the FME or any other vendor selling what appears to be the same/similar flail which is kind of odd since the EF and EFG line is clearly nearly identical from some other vendors.

Have you called Dave/Betstco . . . to ask about the difference?

No, but I bought one and after two shipping snafus I now have their FMC commercial model instead of the FME which was already going to be an upgrade over the medium duty model I originally tried to order. Significantly heavier duty than what I originally intended to purchase, but at the price I'm not going to complain. Will see how it works this weekend.
