They work great, typically mulch the material a bit better than a brush hog.
But they're significantly more maintenance prone and more expensive than a brush hog. Any reason why you're looking at a flail mower over a brush hog? I'm buying one for my excavator, but that's because brush hogs are pretty crappy on excavators. |

seems like its light in the number of blades.
4 1/2 ft and only 18 I had a 6 ft it had approx 48. Thats twice as many/ft. Also height adjustment of 4" is pretty low. I used mine mostly at 6-7" I mowed "wild" areas with grasses/forbs. |

I have about 3 acres I mow 2-4 times a season and it’s just doesn’t look good with my brush hog. It’s all grass, no sapplings and no brush. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So if you have the money to try out on a flail mower, I would. They're pretty neat attachments. Just as I said, beware of the maintenance. Having more blades, a rotating drum, ECT. Means more maintenance |

Sharpen or replace blades and drop down to a lower gear. |
