If the price were the same, I would definitly go with the flail mower. Much safer when mowing grown up fields, especialy when you find hidden suprises.

I would probably go with the flail as well but there is one more thing to consider. They may cost the same today but the flail is more expensive and time consuming to maintain and repair down the road. More moving parts to wear out and lots more blades to sharpen/replace.

Mark,

I basically asked the same question yesterday. Here is a thread that golfgar4 sent me with some good information. Search for the text below and you'll find some good information.

Mark,

Here's another link to a thread that I discovered yesterday as well. Search for this and you'll find a rather large thread. Obviously I haven't quite figured out how to attach links correctly yet.
