Flail Mower Tractor Supply Company now carries Caroni flail mowers, and new store in Dixon CA

TSC is kind of like Harbor Freight, the tools do the job, they are cheap for a reason; if you want quallity and long term parts availibility then spending $6,000 at a dealer is the ticket, if you just need it to do the trick for a few years then the cheaper tool does the trick, $1400 vs $6000 on a flail mower, I expect to get what I pay for

I don't think Caronis quality is that of Harbor Freight...its a great middleweight piece of equipment.

As compared to household consumer products, no, as compared to industrial products, I'd need to use it for 10 years to decide.

As compared to household consumer products it is far superrior to HF, as compared to industrial products, I'd need to use it for 10 years to decide. Industrial is a whole new game, and I believe most individuals here arn't playing it, Caroni is worth the money and great for home use.

Caroni's deal w/ TSC must not be across the whole country. I've visited two stores in Missouri over the last couple days and they don't carry the mowers and indicated they do NOT have the ability to order new ones.

Lots of us got the Caroni flail from AgriSupply. They are a great company to do business with and have been the primary importer of the Caroni flails for quite a while. They stock parts and are very helpful over the phone.

I just tried to find ANY sort of a flail mower on TSC's web site - two chances of THAT, slim and FAT !
Maybe CA is a test market for them, I will probably call one of the New Hampshire stores for an answer (other than "No sales tax").

The Merrimac NH store quoted me a few nickels short of $2200.
That was AFTER the language barrier, which required me to spell out F_L_A_I_L and C_A_R_O_... etc.

Just BTW, he said he had looked it up on the kompooter and the distributor is ag-mate - which probably explains the 10% or so higher price that I can get it for from Agri-Supply (which seems to be a brother/sister company of ag-mate).

Moneywise, the Caroni at agrisupply is better than TSC.
IIRC $1975 shipping included for a TM1900 vs $2200 plus at TSC.

I called the Dixon Ca TSC store and got the SKU from them so I could "help" my local TSC look it up.
I'm sorry but I no longer have those numbers

Unless you want to pick it up today, it seems better to go the AgriSupply route. They are very professional and have lots of experience with Caroni products. They also stock all the parts etc.
