Here is a thread about the Victory Mower I purchased. Only have one season on it but I like it so far.

I know this thread is a little old but the issues are still relevant so I’m going to pick it up to see if we can get any Victory and Bestt owners to weigh in on their mowers. Thanks to Jack Yuan for his informative posts, I hope all is well for you and others here in these uncertain times.
Now to my needs, I have a ‘72 Oliver 1365 (4wd) with weights and FEL. I’m selling the Ford 907 flail mower that I used for the last 16 years so can purchase a mower more suited to cutting the brush at the edge of the woods that is trying to take the fields by stealth.
I’ve looked at both the Bestt and Victory websites and feel limited in my ability to make a decision based on their photography and general descriptions. For example, will standard duty be good for the long run, like my 70 year old 907? While I’ve replaced the rear roller bearings and top bearing, the main rotor bearings and gearbox look to be original. The guys or gals who own these things could certainly shed some light here. Also a little openness from the middlemen would help. Not sure what form that would take.

The Betstco seems have deep cooperation with FHM facotyr these 4 or 5 years. The Victory @ Long Beach stopped purchase from me 4 years ago, now they are jumping from this and that factories these years. I would not like to give comment on them here.

Here are something on the background.

These small and middle range flail mowers are not that difficult to produce, the supply chain is so powerful here, some big company have lot investment here, for example AGCO, komatsu etc, so there are more and more new factory competitors come into this business, normally they are small factory. Stability is always the issue that factory has to watch out, especially for small factory, at this point, we can say the production is quite difficult to control. Every tiny carelessness could lead to different result.

The globe inflation is spreading all over the world, so the production cost is going up, also the sea freight and tariff issue.
