Yeah, this topic has been done to death here, but I have a question for those who have used both:
I went to the dealer this week to get replacement knives for my flail. The guy behind the counter said I should switch to hammers because they last longer and cut just as well. Has anyone found this to be true?
I've used both, and never got as good a cut with hammers as I did with knives. Even brand new, the hammers seem to beat the vegetation into submission rather than cut it cleanly.
The only advantage I've found with hammers is they are more durable and better for rough rocky ground. They are also quicker and easier to sharpen.
Maybe it's just my mower but what has been your experience?
