DITCH BANK FLAIL MOWERS FOR SMALL TRACTORS!

We've been showing you the Del Morino Funny Top Flail Mower for years now. That's a manually offset flail mower that we sell a ton of each year. But we finally got the hydraulics on our John Deere 1025R to show you the Del Morino Funny Super, the hydraulic offset and tilt capable flail mower, perfect for ditch bank mowing. We demonstrate three different mowing tasks with the Funny Super today, all using hammer blades. Watch the video for an overview of the mower, the tractor you'll need to operate it, and to watch us demonstrate how well it performs behind our little tractor.

Glad you’re back

[@joshbond8676]

Glad to see you are making videos again. Hope you and yours have been doing good.

[@jbt308]

Are you kidding me ! Haha, just bought this from GWT this afternoon for my Kioti! Got the 52" and, a stump wrecker, and the 4 Port Summit hydros. Your team were super helpful, can't wait to try ut out!

[@bobshouse7237]

Which Kioti did u buy? Been looking for a compact tractor

[@Gilikemail]

I bought a ditch-bank flail mower and haven't looked back (except to watch it work). My only regret is not getting it from you because yours have those really cool hose storage hookups!

[@shawnphinney4363]

Great demonstration! Makes selling Del Marino equipment easy.

[@redclover51]

Glad you're back.

[@DonSherman]

Where ya been Courtney?

[@stevekeider7200]

Good to see you doing videos again.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for the kind words

[@foonus406]

One of these mowers seemed like the solution to our ditch mowing issues - but they complicated by the original property owner putting evergreens all along the side of the road. 400 yards of evergreens on the top of the bank right beside the road to scratch at the vehicles, and as an added bonus they only have another few years before they reach the power line above them.. Some peoples great ideas....yes he planted them there on purpose.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That's a bummer!

[@dpistone10]

What a great frail mower. To make things better it even comes from Italy. 🇮🇹

[@KPVFarmer]

Trimming fence lines and around posts is HUGE!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Sure is!

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

GREAT Video...

[@justanotherviewer52]

Keep up the grass cutting and before long you'll be ready for the fairways in Augusta. Flail mowers are great and this one seems to have everything you need in one attachment.

[@PurpleNovember]

That’s a good size mower to mount on a loader for a larger tractor.

[@henrymorgan3982]

Miss the old outro! Funny Top rules!

[@macdawg6403]

Nice Vid!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks!

[@badgerlandturf]

You almost made we want to trade in my manual offset Del Morino but then I would have to add all the hydraulics…the finance manager gave that a hard no! 😢

[@scubatraveler100]

Nice video

[@BigBlue12V]

I'm running a woods s105-3 5' pto ditch bank rotary mower on my 4044m and it is a stretch for that tractor lol. Have videos on my KZbin channel of that setup in operation...

[@zanetheinsane]

Hopefully that tornado missed you guys! I see it was right in line with your shop.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, we're safe. Thank you. Two tornadoes touched down about 7 miles from us though. Lots of damage, power outages, etc. Tree guys are going to be busy!

[@kevinyoung9034]

Great tool. (3.45) I've been saying for a while now that common sense is not so common anymore.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, you and me both!

[@PEETY666]

Another informational video. Thanks! U been workin out?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, trying to get healthier :)

[@SabineRiverValley]

"Whoa...he does exist!"

[@lamontpowell6235]

Can you puchase or install the chain guard on the 3 yr old funny top that came without the guard?

[@ecthelion1735]

How does this handle heavier brush (blackberry, scotch broom) with the 25hp tractor?

[@boballmendinger3799]

I'd hazard a guess the drain tile failed in the wet field, particularly if it used to be dry.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Neah, water table is higher in recent years. You should see the black muck...there's also a small stream and that entire side of the property is very low.

[@kdegraa]

It’s good to see a new video from this channel. I’d like to buy a mower like this for my my Kubota MX5200. Unfortunately the Australian Del Morino distributor does only sells flail mowers that extend and retract horizontally. I’m thinking of trying a cheap Chinese flail mower. There seems to be a $15k difference between Chinese and Italian mowers. I’m sure Italian mowers are much better but if it a choice between second best and nothing I might choose second best.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, it's crazy how cheap China builds stuff...just buy a back up mower too :)

[@donbrown9301]

You consistently reference JD 1025 etc. size of tractor. I have a 4100 with a 410 loader. How would you equate mine to the others?

[@thomasmoss3695]

Is the centurion super 62 too big for the lx4020? Would like a 5 foot flail but trying to decide between lx4020 and the 40hp Lseries.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

Can a flail do double duty as a dirt leveler? I'm thinking it should be able to scalp the ground a bit like a shallow tiller.

[@nickc7320]

I'm sure it could but it would probably wear stuff out quickly

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Definitely not recommended. You'll dull the blades quickly.

[@jeepjeffy04]

What are your thoughts on a finish mower vs flail for a nice lawn? I think for brush hog work I like the flail better. But for just general lawn mowing of a couple acres of grass, does the flail hold up to the finished product?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

If you only want to mow your lawn, then a dedicated zero turn is hard to beat. The flail mowers work fantastic as an all around machine and I would hope this video shows the performance on a lawn.

[@jeepjeffy04]

@@GoodWorksTractors Thanks. I'm trying to get rid of my mower and only use a tractor attachment.

[@JCWren]

Where you aware that some of the 2024 Delmorino's (like the FLI186MHSS) are now quick hitch compatible?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Sorta...I'm not advertising that until they work the bugs out of the system. Tolerances were too tight and some rub steel on steel of the quick hitch and flail mower mounting brackets.

[@JCWren]

Yeah, I noticed that also. I wonder if that would be considered a warranty item? :) But I still don't understand why this is so complicated. There are published specs for QHs, and it's not like this is rocket surgery. Also, you can't use a Speeco QH. You have to use the cat 2 pins, and the way they sized the holes, you can't replace them with cat 1 pins. Which means I had to go back to my Landpride hitch, and now have to make some 1.5" OD / 7/8" ID bushings in various lengths for some of my other implements to get everything to seat properly. Because the typical Cat 1 to QH adapters don't work on implements that have a plate on either side of the mounting point. Grrrr....

[@ryaldeveau207]

How much stuff do you gotta take off to put the backhoe on with a setup like this?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

The same stuff that you always take off...the 3 point arms, that's it

[@ryaldeveau207]

@GoodWorksTractors well thats alot less than i expected. It looks like alot of stuff in the way. This is the direction that i would like to go with my little tractor. Opens alot of doors for work that can be done.

[@BearsZX72]

I'm looking for a ditch bank flail mower. I have a DK6010SE HST Cab with 2 rear hydro ports (4 lines), what is a good size for my Kioti?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

best to reach out to [e-mail] to be sure this is seen! thanks!

[@noelcahill6707]

How we doing lads in the states you can get a attachment that will go on to the flail and cut around posts and all that there starting at a 1000 euro to buy

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Nice, sounds pricey, but cool!

[@noelcahill6707]

@@GoodWorksTractors a brand called delekes do the 1 iv seen but you will get more brands doing it

[@ryanbaer6661]

would you flail over a belly mower?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Depends on the application

[@dpistone10]

Wondering if you think this is a good idea Courtney? How about giving away a couple of good prizes for these two types of your KZbin viewers. 1.) A prize for the person who watches the most of your videos. 2.) A prize for the person who comments the most on your videos? It might bring up the viewership on your KZbin channel???

[@user-bh8ir4pp8c]

Those mowers are nice but unless you use it 2 or3 days week than I'd pass

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Tough way to justify a tool

[@brandon18054]

Ok I’ll start the fight. How come you’re running a 1025R-I thought JD (and Kubota) were the devil? 😂

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I've always loved the 1025r and own two of them. They are definitely overpriced now when buying new. Fortunately, there's always a pile of them in the used market.
