Victory Ditch Bank Flail or Bush Hog 216 Rotary Mower?

Just received an email from Victory. They are replacing the cylinder with no issues. Nice to see them stand behind their product!

That's nice to hear!

Hopefully you get to keep the old one, get new seals for it and keep as spare.

That is the plan unless he wants it back.

I realize you said there was issue using it with the quick hitch. Can you elaborate a little more on that? May be a deal breaker for me. As long as i can latch up with the quick hitch and use maybe half of the swing/offset i would be happy. The few times i would need more i could remove the quick hitch and hook direct to 3pt.

Im guessing most brands are built the same as far as the hitch. Its likely why none of the others say quick hitch compatible.

There is two problems. One is the swing mount bolt hits the QH and keeps it from sitting properly in the hitch. The other is the PTO can hit the top of the QH when you go over uneven ground. Too many modifications needed to make it work and was not worth it for me.
