John Deere Flail Mower Feedback

[CTWright]

Ive been mowing with a 60's JD25A for three years in my sustainable Hobby/Business. I replaced the bully side bearing twice (takes me about 30 minutes) and only 4 blades. I mow some tough stuff here in the high desert prairie land and its an amazing beast of a mower behind my MF-65 Diesel. John Deere make an awesome flail mower.

Sorry for never updating! I'm loving my John Deere 4066M. I was iffy about the HST, just being a bit old-fashioned, but man it's nice for both loader work and rear implements since the speed can be controlled entirely independent of the RPMs. It makes life easy. The JD390 Flail Mower has been great also! It cuts really well, handles saplings and decaying larger wood with no issues. Not having a deck hanging out behind is pretty nice, too. All in all, I'm really pleased with the setup. Hopefully it stands the test of time!

Hello StevenR,

I want to welcome you as the newest member of the Flail Mower Nations" from the great state of Arizona.
You should ask the clean cutter folks for a parts catalog to compare unit cost for your flail mower parts as they are in California and you may save quite bit of money.
