Calling leonz - question about the holy flail

[leonz]

Well the new blades from flailmaster are a good bit lighter. Since I'm using such a small tractor, I think it helps. The blades being all sharp definitely makes a difference, I'll try to keep them sharp. After I make a pass now there is less stubble left standing. Overall, I'm happy with the improvement for such a little cost, for now...

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now all you need is to purchase a
Wen Wet Well Knife Grinder (if they still make them)
to put a nice edge on your old knives
and you will be one very happy camper.


If you know someone with a table top
belt sander they work wonders, but they
get a little warm.




Now about that secret hand shake:







"Once you go flail, you never go back"

The one concern that I have is that new slicers from either Alamo or flailmaster are .029" thinner than the .116" slicers that are currently hanging. I know from the lawnmower experience that a sharp blade always is more efficient for grass. However all I can think is that it takes mass to get through brushy material.

I talked to the tech dept. at flailmaster on the possibility of stamping some slicers out of .187" stock. He said that without a large quantity, it would be too cost prohibitive to tool up for it.

This should blow your mind...

Just want to know how many you'd had before cutting that nice "Straight" line? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Now, Now, Be nice, the rooster tail along the edge is because
of the width of the V belt housing which does not have a
flail knive overlap as the rotor does not go over that far. :drool:

Actually, I was trying to get the scary part over with first. You can't see it in the picture, but the ground on the other side of the tractor drops sharply about twenty feet down. The ridge line is not parallel with the road, so i try to cut as much of it as possible. The "rooster tail" was knocked out on the way back.
