Caroni Flail Mower!

[Stimw]

My Caroni 4' tiller does an excellent job. I bought it used last spring for $600. I used it today to pull out a row of cabbage that has all been cut.

It is in this forum a page back. You will get a better picture of the Caroni Flail Mower than what has been posted here so far.

Agri Supply is offering the Caroni TM1900 for $1789.95-freight included. Seems like a great deal. BUT- I need a flail to cut and maintain fairly rough hayfield type ground. Doesn't need to be golf coarse quality cut since it will be cut several times a season- grass probably won't ever be over 6" at anytime. Flail won't ever be used for brush or anything even close. [ Have other mower for that]. The Caroni TM1900 offered by ASC has 56 flails. Info says it will cut material upto 2". I'm not sure if this might be too coarse of a cut for me. Any thoughts on that? The Caroni website has the TM1900 listed with different blade combinations. I guess ASC only offers the one configuration. Also, ASC website says it has rear rotation. Does this mean blades rotate the opposite way of travel, throwing cut grass forward?

I also have the Caroni TM1900. I have had it for 3 years with no trouble, and have replaced the belts once. I use it to mow my lawn and orchard and along side the roads of our development. It has replaced my finish mower and my bush hog. I'm very happy with its performance.
