Flail Mower FAQs
What is a Flail Mower Used For?
Flail mowing is used to cut and mulch grass, weeds, and small shrubs. Flail mowing is an ideal solution when landscaping larger areas of land that a standard finish lawn mower cannot handle. They are designed to handle heavy-duty maintenance tasks such as:
-
Mowing meadows
-
Pastures
-
Orchards
-
Prairies
-
Hiking trails
They are also commonly used for municipal right-of-way shoulder maintenance due to their robust construction, ease of maintenance, and compact size. Models with hydraulic side-shift capability make it easy to mow close to fence lines, ditches, and between trees in orchards and tree plantations.
How Does a Flail Mower Work?
The high-speed, high-power rotating drum of the flail mower is powered by tractor PTO through a heavy-duty gearbox and belt system. As this drum spins, the attached flails (or swinging blades) swing outwards. The swinging flails cut through rough terrain, woody materials such as brush, and other vegetation. If a rock or other oversized debris is encountered, the individual flails flip out of the way until clear of the obstacle.
What Size Flail Mower Do I Need?
Each of our Remet Flail Mowers is differentiated by their mowing width: 40”, 48”, 55”, 63”, 69”, 71”, 79”, 89”, 98”, 108”, 118” models are available.
-
FMS and F1 Series - The 40” and 48” widths require a minimum 15hp tractor while the 55”, 63”, and 71” models require a minimum tractor power of 20 HP to operate. Tractors with a power of 50+ HP are not recommended. This series is perfect for compact diesel tractors and older smaller horsepower tractors.
-
F2 Series - The 69”, 79”, 89”, and 98” models require a minimum 60hp tractor with a maximum recommended hp of 120hp. This series is ideal for utility-class agricultural tractors.
-
F2 PRO Series - The 98”, 108”, and 118” models require a minimum 100hp tractor with a maximum recommended hp of 160hp. This series is ideal for larger utility class and row crop agricultural tractors.
All of our flail mowers are compatible with tractors fitted with three-point hitches. Models with side shift capability also require hydraulic ports.
How is a flail mower attached to a tractor?
-
Park safely - On level ground, engage the brake, and shut off the tractor.
-
Engage the hitch - Lower the hitch to receive the flail mower.
-
Align the hitch points - Between the flail mower and the tractor.
-
Connect and secure - Insert the hitch pins into the holes between the tractor’s three-point hitch and flail mower, securing them into place.
-
Attach the PTO shaft - To the tractor’s PTO output and the flail mower’s input shaft, secure the connection, and attach the PTO safety chain.
-
Connect the hydraulic lines - If your model includes a hydraulic side shift.
-
Adjust cutting height - Use the adjustable skids or lever depending on the model.
-
Power up the PTO - This engages the blade mechanism.
What kind of flail mower is best for mowing slopes and hills?
Each of our Remet Flail Mowers is designed to work on uneven terrain, ditches, and slopes. You’ll find marshy and muddy terrain no challenge either as Remet Flail Mowers are efficient in covering all types of landscape.
What are your processing and shipping times for flail mowers?
Due to their large size, please allow 3-4 full business days for us to crate and schedule flail mowers for shipment. Flail mowers typically ship LTL by common carrier. In some cases Northern Woodsmen will provide regional delivery services throughout the upper Midwest. LTL shipping typically takes 2-7 business days depending on the shipping destination. Customers are welcome to pick up orders from our location with advance notice to avoid shipping costs.
