Flail Mower Caroni Flail on B3030

I'm guessing less chance to trash the rotor when you hit rocks and stumps? But that's just a w-a-g

That's more or less my understanding too. Except I believe it will actually save the blades from getting trashed on rocks and not so much as protection for the rotor. I think blades that are attached with shackles make for a more robust flail. IMO. We must defer to the other more experienced experts on this thread to weigh in.

What would be the advantage / disadvantage of either?

The clevis used with the TM provides a second pivot point and also allows the knives to move laterally when hitting an object. Also, the TM has far fewer but heavier knives. It would be hard to use those knives on a TL rotor.

IslandTractor & Leonz. I'd like to give my first impressions of my Caroni TM1600 BSC. Is this thread the appropriate place for those comments and questions or should I start a new thread?

I'd vote that if it's a pretty thorough review, start a new thread so others can find it easier, & since the TM1600 is not the common Caroni model flail mower normally discussed on TBN. Maybe under Attachments.

No firm rules but I agree it would be best to start an appropriately titled review in the attachments subforum. I look forward to it.

another vote for new thread - and thanks for putting it up, I for one find the reviews on here invaluable

I have Agri Supply pricing a TM1600 for me since there's still time to get their order in before spring. Is anyone else interested in the TM1600? It might help as far as the price if they know they might be ordering more than one, since they don't stock them.
