Flail Mower Caroni Flail on B3030

[Charlesaf3]

bumping this up, any more opinions on the right size for a b3030? I think I'm in the market for a flail mower. Some heavy brush, but I don't mind going slowly if that'll make it work

I have a Landpride flail and am surprised how light a load it is for the tractor. I would have gone to the next size up if I had known. It hardly ever feels like the tractor is working very hard to turn it.

Bigman, I just took delivery of a Caroni TM 1600 BSC with my new Mahindra 3016 tractor and used it for the first time yesterday. PTO hp is 23. I was surprised at how simple the whole operation was. It cut 5ft tall grasses without any problem at all. I got good advice from other TBN users on another thread and I'm very pleased with my purchase. (All three hours of use so far. )

Other users suggested I go with the TM 1600 instead of the TM1900 for my 23hp. If you end up going for the TM1900 let us know how that goes.

Did you actually get a TM1600 or is it a TL? The TM has knives mounted via a clevis while the TL knives attach directly to the rotor. I was not aware that any US supplier imported any TM models other than the 1900.

Hello Charles,

MY dad ran his 7 foot John Deere finish mower behind his Ford Jubilee with no issues knocking heavy brush right to the sod and you will have lots of power to run the Sicma from Ken Sweet as he is a site sponsor in good standing or a Caroni flail mower.

I made the picture larger and he did buy a TM1600.

I love it when we have another flail mower convert in the family:thumbsup:

So what dealer is importing the TM1600? First I've heard of one here.

I dont remember the name of the firm that
was doing it before in California but I wonder
if he is importing them again?:thumbsup:

IslandTractor. Yes mine is a TM 1600 BSC. I purchased from my tractor dealer in Sonoma County California. I believe his distributor is in Texas. The price was about $1k more than it would have been from Agri Supply. Agri doesn't stock the TM1600.
