Flail Mower Boom mounted flail mower for compacts

[gogreen]

I am purchasing a package deal of attachments here locally from an individual who is downsizing. One of the items was something I haven't seen before or even knew they made them this small. It is the ORSI VMC mower model RB 111. Looking at the specs, it is a 30 inch boom mounted flail mower which only requires a minimum of 25 hp and 2500 lbs. tractor weight. Most compacts would be able to run it. It is totally self contained, just hook to the TPH and attach stabilizers. Your PTO powers the hydraulics on it and the valve assembly has long enough hoses to reach the operator. This thing appears to have seen very little use. Anyways, I have access to a large one that mounts to a full size tractor so I will be looking to sell this one. I wanted to see if anyone would have any interest in it before I hit the ebay world with it. I will be attaching it to my 3520 and testing it before selling it. I will have pictures of it available when I get it attached. Here are some links where I found info on it. If anyone has any experience with these things, please chime in. Thanks.

I don't have a price yet. I hope to pick it up first of the week, attach it, and run it to check everything. Looking at it, it looks as good as new but I want to be sure. Northland Holder said it retailed for about $7000. I will probably have asking price at half of that. I will have pics of it when I get it. Also will let everyone know how it worked and any problems with it.

Rear mulcher w/ a "finishing" front flail with, I'd guess, heavy knives to crop the stump stubble?

Ironhorse, how does the 110 handle the cutters? As far as hydralic flow? I'm planning on buying a 110 but I keep going back to a mini ex and track skidsteer instead. I should note I'm using them for personal use and I won't have anyone else to run the mini and skid together.

I love that front mounted mower. There's nothing better than front mounted implements for keeping an eye on things. Easy on the neck, too.

Picked the mower up today. Attached it this evening but darkness was setting in before I could really work with it. All the hydraulics worked perfectly. Here is a picture of it after we set it off the trailer. I will take pics of it tomorrow on the tractor. OK, it says the picture file is too big for the post. I will have to figure it out later.

OK, I think I got it on here now, just had to shrink the file size. Here goes.

Thanks for this intresting link to Ferri - seems like someone almost always has a good link to things I'm not familiar with. I looked at both their boom and in-line mower products and it looks like they're well designed & build and perhaps a little less $ than the Orsi offerings? The only spec. I didn't like was the max cutting height of about 1.8". Don't know about everyone else, but I never mow that low.
