Titan Offset Flail

[Budlight592]

Does anyone have any experience with the 86" 3-Point Offset Flail Ditch Bank Mower or other sizes? Looks like they are on sale now and really wanting to pull the trigger.

I have a Maschio Girafetta 72" offset flail which is similar to the Titan design. It works well for mowing the ditches along my 1.25 mile private road. It sure beats backing down the slope with a brush hog. I also use it in the vertical position to cut back branches & undergrowth that encroach on the roadway.



I strongly recommend getting hammer flails as standard knives take a beating on rough ground and heavy growth.

I have the Maschio Giraffetta 160SE Flail Mower and love it. Two things are critical with your choice that you need to check. Will the offset clear your rear tires with the pivot point. It appear to have an outboard gear box, so that is a plus. It must so the tractor can sit on the flat with the mower on the bank. Second do you have enough tractor weight. These offsetting mowers will really put you tractor to the test in handling when fully extended. To me the hammer knives are a must. You can fudge on the HP as I have no issue running mine with 26.5 PTO HP at altitude. I went through a lot finding a mower that would clear my tire tracks. I posted about the search at the time.

Hope this helps

PS there is a very long flail mower thread here. Try searching that thread or asking your question there.
Happy mowing
