#7 Testing a Titan 3-Point Offset Flail Ditch Bank Mower

[@bobcole9274]

Just a reminder, engage pto at low rpm, then rev up. looking good

[@novatractor5592]

Nice video, but here is some suggestion, the video since 2:00, it's really dangerous that stand behind when the mower is lifted up, think about this, once the hammer hit a stone, it will fly out backwards. The mower rotor is running at 2200RPM at that moment!!!!

[@peri4940]

Great job 👍 and a good finished product. Good investment for the years to come ... 🙌🙌

[@ladwiss]

Very nice. I love seeing somebody making videos of a new attachment for their tractor . That looks like the perfect mower for your needs there. Like to see some more of this in action

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Thank you for the kind words from a fellow Kioti owner. Anything you would like to see it do?

[@ladwiss]

@@meadsoutdooradventures I am sure you will think of something else for it to do. That is what Kioti's do . They work for you. Just keep collecting useful implements. Do you have the 3rd function for a grapple. I love mine

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

@@ladwiss yes I have Kioti's 3rd function. Bought a Titan grapple for it. Should do a video on that too.

[@ladwiss]

@@meadsoutdooradventures sweet!

We have had these in britain and ireland for yrs there a great job

Keep your child way back for safety

[@FromSteelToWood]

Just got mine! Not easy to master that machine over ditches! I've found it easier to make the first pass while keeping the mower horizontal. Then make the second pass with an angle. Thanks!

[@BeeHiverson]

Cameraman has some steel basketballs filming behind that baby WOW!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I just received my flail mower. I can't wait to use it. I think I will put flow restrictors on mine to keep it from being jumpy. Keep on Tractoring.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

I would like to get some resisters, but I don't know which to get. Meanwhile I just feather the valve.

[@jeepin3049]

Tony did you get flow restrictors? If so do video on them. I need some bucking like a horse here.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

I barely move the levers to restrict flow as much as possible. Flow restrictors would definitely help.

[@jeepin3049]

@@meadsoutdooradventures yeah I have to find some. I ran mine today. Too jerky for me.

[@mariannehiltunen953]

Nice job. With anything new it takes some seat time👍

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Yes it does. Thanks for watching

[@tomkeating65]

Two important things here. Make sure your bucket is raised up so you can make sure your center of gravity is screwed up for an easier roll over. Second, make sure the wife and baby are close by in case that mower wants to spit any debris out of it and hits the aforementioned people and cause serious trouble to them. God forbid something were to happen to them.

[@hellogoodbye3129]

Yeagh..... this guy.

[@johnhonebein6851]

Fun video. Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it!

[@ajarthur2437]

I recently ordered the 65in ditch bank flail from Titan. Good to hear positive feedback on them. I'm a bit hesitant since they're on the budget end of the flail mower spectrum... but for the few times a year that I need one just can't justify getting a high end make/model. Thanks for doing a great job of videoing the mower and reviewing it! I'll be looking back at your assembly video when my mower arrives! Thanks.

[@tonyneves1089]

Cancel it ASAP

[@ajarthur2437]

@@tonyneves1089 na it's been great really. I'm on my 3rd mowing season with it and it's not the high end of quality but gets the job done well.

[@brianmartin3084]

Is the upright position only for transportation/storage or can it mow in that position to keep brush from growing in over a trail in the woods?

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

The manual says it can cut up to a 65 degree angle. I don't know why but I'm not going to go against their judgment

[@adamkittel]

I'm looking at a few flail mowers. So far 1 specifies a cutting height adjustment on the machine. Does the titan have a cutting height adjustment on it or do you adjust it with the 3pt lift?

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

There is no height adjustment on the roller. I need to make a quick video that shows how I drilled holes to adjust the roller 2" lower for a better cut

[@garydavis5378]

Did you add rear hydraulic couplers to your tractor. My L3301 has none.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

My se came with them as a deluxe package

[@justinb8584]

Does this flail equipped with the V knives or the hammers on the rotating drum?

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Comes with hammers

[@johns6290]

I found when I cut the fields that the mower seems to cut uneven on the edge due to the articulation being straight and it does not follow the terrain as well.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Did you try to put the top link in the slotted hole? Seems to work better in fields for me that way.

[@gorgonbazil2652]

Interesting, I purchased 84" about a year ago, hooked it up and the dang thing would not mow.. I thought for sure they had mistakenly put the wrong gear box on it and that it must have been rotating reverse.. Nope, The design was bad, The mower should sit level on the ground (just like most implements) seems it would just roll over the weeds. my weeds were about 12-16inches high. The problem I resolved with the mower was the leading edge of the mower was too low and would push over the weeds, then the cutters were too high inside and would pass over them, the trailing roller would then hold down the weeds until they exited.. I filmed this all... I am sure if I hovered over the weeds about 12 inches the mower would cut off the tops, I can do that with my brush hog.. I sent my Titan back...

[@helensue5885]

i need one of these ditch offset mower. I have a kubuta l3010. do you think it will it work for my tractor? My current flail mower can only go up and down. If i buy a flail mower like yours how does the mover move from the center to the right side? I am worried if i buy a mower like yours my tractor can't move left to right. Let me know what you think thanks

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

The mower requires 2 sets of rear hydraulic outputs. One makes it move side to side, the other for rotation. As far as capability, the people at palletforks.com should be able to tell you.

[@fredhinck9685]

You said you were an engineer ???

[@edgarrhodes4177]

Don't let your BOY or Wife walk behind this mower. It will throw things.

[@roostercoggburn7436]

What is the width on your mower? Looks nice!

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

65"

[@roostercoggburn7436]

Thanks 👍

[@michealrogge5118]

What size tractor was you using?

[@Glenn_Mead]

Kioti CK3510se. 35 hp tractor has no issues using it.

[@seize1563]

Are you running that mower on Ck3510? Appears very stable. Great job.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Yes it's the ck3510se. With the grapple up front and tire ballast, the tractor stays planted real well.

[@seize1563]

@@meadsoutdooradventures Doesn't look like you have wheel weights...calcium in the tires?

[@xTheJmanChannel]

Not to be a Karen or anything, but you really should tell your wife and kid not to be anywhere near the rear of the machine/implement while it is on in the future. I know it was just grass and free of most debris, but its not even worth risking it considering if something happens when it comes to debris from attachments hitting people, its usually permanently debilitating or deadly.

[@Noah_E]

One of the main benefits of a flail over a rotary cutter is that debris is thrown down instead of out. It's not like a bush hog that can turn a rock into a bullet.

[@kdegraa]

@@Noah_Eit’s not a good idea to walk behind any operating mower.

[@patrickcarle6074]

un roto fil aurait été largement suffisant pour faire le tour de l'étang

I bought a 65 inch tittan. Mulched some 2 inch limbs it destroyed itself in 15 minutes. Tittan warranty department has a 82 percent bad reviews. Dont wast your money

[@ptiam1]

Your family should not be that close during cutting. That flail mower, like a bush hog, can throw rocks, etc. a long way!!

[@frankcastle7777]

Filming a deadly machine while holding / baby sitting a child is sooo dangerous.

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Tractor was off while he was near it. Stayed behind mom while it was running

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I love people who say things like this and then put their family in a car where they are statistically 1000 percent more likely to be a fatality. Living is a risk, but it is worth taking.

[@dennishutchins]

@@TonysTractorAdventure That's a bit disingenuous isn't it? According to AAA "Americans Spend 70 Billion Hours Behind the Wheel" that's per year and doesn't include passengers. How do you think the injury/death rate would compare if people spent 70 Billion hours around a working flail/rotary mower per year? "Living is a risk, but it is worth taking." - Pretty sure a toddler can't fully comprehend the situation and make an informed decision to accept the risks involved in being within the danger zone of a working flail mower.

[@John_Ridenour]

@@TonysTractorAdventure pretty shocked at this comment. As someone who grew up farming, and has run equipment like this all my life, I've seen debris fly hundreds of feet. We are currently praying for a child who lost his foot in a mower accident. I've had friends with serious injuries, and a neighbor died on a compact tractor. Yes, you have to live, but taking foolish chances seems trivial until it's a child you know in the Hospital or in the ground.
