Flail Mowers Vs Topper Mowers - Which is best for my compact tractor? - Farm Tech Supplies Ltd

Flail mowers
For a great all-round cutter, you can’t go wrong with the versatile flail mower. A flail is suitable for short grass such as lawns and will leave a good finish if used regularly. Much like a topper, it will also make light work of cutting through long grass, weeds and woody material in overgrown areas or on uneven land.
Unlike a topper, a flail mower leaves a fine finish and spreads short, smaller cuttings across paddocks or fields. These cuttings soon mulch down and provide a fantastic natural fertiliser.
Rather than the standard Y-blades, Winton flail mowers use heavy-duty hammer blades that sit on a horizontal rotor which spins the hammers to create the flail motion. As such, flail mowers are well-equipped to handle rough, uneven ground and overgrown areas.
Flails are also more compact than topper or finishing mowers, making them highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces - ideal for cutting verges and lawns - and easier to store in between cuts.
In the past, the topper would have been the mower of choice for smallholdings owners. However, we are now starting to see more and more customers buying flail mowers due to their immense versatility.

will a 0.85m Winton flail cut down docks, thistles, nettles and brambles? I've heard flails just strip leaves off and leave docks standing

This particular flail mower has heavy hammer blades which allows it to cut through grass or small saplings and everything in between. The clippings are usually small enough to use for mulch afterwards! If you would like more information, or to arrange a demo, please feel free to call our sales team on 01420 520510. Thank you for your question!
