i doubt a 96" offset flail mower would make a good trail mower. unless it was a road.
Side slicer knives are light & good for grass. For brush you need heavy hammers. My old 917 with side slicers stopped doing much but stripping bark on woddy things much bigger than finger sized. Compare those light knives to the 5lbs hammers on my machine.Would you folks pay 3k for a nice Alamo SH96? Would this flail be useful for brush mowing and trail cutting in woods?
Tractor is a Kubota m5-111

It's 2 - 3 feet too wide for "trail cutting in woods" I think.
If I was trying to buy it I would want to negotiate the price down due to PTO shaft needing repairs (shield missing) and a complete set of flails to replace the worn ones.
Yes I know the flails can still be used some as is and the PTO shaft can also be used as is...

Looking at the Betstco 48" heavy duty flail with hammers.
Any opinions?
Would be doing trail clearing post tree/large brush knockdown and my 8 or so lawn areas. Maybe an acre of grass.
Would like reasonable cut, don't need golf course quality.
Lawn tractor is falling apart, main tractor has a bit less than 20 PTO HP on a 25 HP engine, HST.
Have 5 acres forest and 1 acre open with house.
