That mower works great. I would not have believed it if not for this video. Thanks Courtney

[@MURCHISONCHARLES]

Lovely ❤ 😊

[@jeromebecigneul2911]

love that flail mower. Wish i could afford it. But it sure does a beautiful job. Keep up the videos. you really do show off equipment, good or bad features, helps one know what he wants to purchase and save him from buying wrong implement.

you tell the age of a boy by the price of the toy.

Great video!

[@davidedwards3734]

Impressive piece of equipment!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@artszabo1015]

Great piece of equipment - great video - and great videography. Hollywood ain't got nothin' on you my friend. Looks like somebody has been working out in the sun - nice look. Art from Ohio

[@edstallsworth1077]

Now that is impressive, I love it.

[@FergusNismoLurch]

Great Cut looking really good Great Job Brother ❤❤❤

[@MJADoingStuff]

It did great!!! It could only get better if you could attach it to a SSQA on the front of a tractor in float mode. Thanks for the demo.

[@JAKE3914]

That thing is AWESOME!!!

[@mcd5082]

That thing is a beast

[@gillpecceuservices]

Great video, Unfortunately those are medium to light conditions here in Hawaii at 3 months of growth. Interesting mower nonetheless. Loving the videos. Aloha.

[@joeparker7508]

Good demo

[@frankdrahos8569]

Color me impressed!

[@danbelden7354]

Looks like a better cut than a brush cutter

[@jamesobergjr5032]

Awesome!😮

[@Tapthatsugershack]

Seen to work really well

[@frankwrogg2515]

I could see a lot of designs in this mower that i wish my flail had on the tractor, including those big wheels vs steel runners.

[@TEC_Stuff]

Another good tool for a specific usage. Its lighter footprint allows for use in areas that have wet soil conditions much of the year. If this could be towed in an offset manner, favoring one side, it could be useful cleaning up field perimeters that a larger tractor and brush hog could not reach due to low hanging tree limbs. Nice piece of equipment, but like most tools, it has its specific applications.

[@kenjackson4471]

The hitch is adjustable to allow for offset. 33” IIRC.

[@bearcat0551]

I think I would use a lesser mower and mow more often. The price is a deal killer.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Wow. That's a pretty amazing job. It appears to outperform both a brush hog and flail.

[@danielbashers647]

Seems like with everything these days, extreme stocker shock! 10,000 on sale for around $8500. I was thinking a third of that cost but it is a flail. My Zero turn was in the same price range but wouldn't do as well with that tall of grass on a single pass.

[@driverjamescopeland]

...and this is their lower tier model. They have a better one with wheels that swing to the rear, to keep from matting down on the sides.

[@Trump985]

That’s outrageous, I was expecting it to be in the $2,500 range! It wouldn’t be a big project to build your own version of this, it’s all flat plate and just welded together. There isn’t any complicated or difficult fabrication involved.

[@piche525]

The thing seems awesome. I got property just like that.

[@andybonneau9209]

Nice rig!

[@BillB-x6g]

I noticed that it had hammer blades... how well does it handle brush

[@JohnBraman413]

would you put rimguard in the mowers tires?

[@briand.3552]

Love the video!! Wonder how it handles brush or is it more for grass?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

It'll handle both. Last week, I mowed down plenty of woody material that was .5" to 1.25". Just don't expect to be shredding 2"+ material with it...perhaps the occasional stray, but not a full field of them.

[@Tomn2hd]

Very impressed. Does Wessex make 3 point flail mowers for tractors.

[@richardbritton5280]

super ty sir

[@derekdreke4990]

Dang bud that works great !!!!! Curious if you aired down the ATV or the tires on the mower 🤔

[@fredwhitmore3737]

How does it work work kudzu and grape vines? Can the times reverse rotate for cleaning vines?

[@jeremiahwynott1232]

How high are you able to set it to cut?

[@roybrochu5409]

Curious what the results would be if you went back and cut it a second time?

[@bdcovey]

I’ve looking for something just like this and old pull behind mower that I use.

[@olderolderman4603]

Get 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@jeff-hk8yk]

I would really like to see how it does on the back of a compact tractor with the tires swung back to allow more precise mowing around trees. I think a flail mower is the way to go - much safer when you hit a stump or rock. Can this flail mower handle small brush? fallen branches? or would I have to go around and pickup all sticks before mowing?

[@jameschandler2776]

Will it work on forest paths and chop up small down limbs. I have e John Deere Gator. I want to clear woods that are overgrown with multiflora rose and spice bush. Would this handle that and what do they cost?

[@rogerbelanger295]

Very interested. I’ve got some high slope roads that I won’t do with m tractor and bush hog. Saplings?.

[@markmartin3296]

how fast can you tow? on the road, between properties, with utv

[@rustypipes12]

I wish the Wessex was available last year. I puchased a Novatractor that is no where near as powerful or versatile! I could've used a PTO flail if I waited until I bought my tract or..I use a Wolverine UTV and was working an old unused field that was pretty rough. I

[@jenandjaydostuff2887]

We work about 7 acres of prairie and 5 acres of Oak Savanna... we want to mow to about 10 inches... a little higher than typical mowers. Could larger wheels be used to raise the level? Or do you have a recommendation for getting a higher mow that's more healthy for maintaining a young prairie to help the native forbs and grasses take over.

[@tonybillow1218]

Does it offset and where can I find a dealer,thanks.

[@erickperry8721]

I’d say that it cuts better and faster than a brush hog. It would be interesting to see you cut that same field with a brush hog to get a real comparison.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Did it last year :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV7GpoyXbdOXqZI

[@jasonPfunk]

Hello there!, I'm curious if Wessex has a Max incline for the flail mower?. I'm asking because I have some hills. They're at least a 45° incline and with the flare mower having a sump oil system. I worried that at very aggressive incline the oil and oil pan wi move to the back and not be picked up by the oil pump. Does Wessex have the max incline degree for their lower? In particular, I'm curious about the AR model, but for all models would be good to know.

[@davetillges8170]

I currently use a DR pull behind brush mower, how is the flail mower on 1 to 3" saplings?

[@KS-cu1zc]

Hi there I have Caroni six ft flail mower even in light grass it eats 3 belt fast, tried different brand belts ,no luck , I keep mower greased up it just eats belts in few hours fast when properly adjusted & even stopping to re adjust with in hour any help thx

[@myerdixon9733]

What brand/model is that 4 row planter behind you?

[@TheHonarable1]

How many tanks of fuel did you burn and about how large is the area you mowed?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hard to say total area as it includes trails too. Plus, I've mowed another area since that time. I'd say over 2 hours of run time and still on the same tank. Sorry, doesn't give you acreage, but it's something!

[@TheHonarable1]

@@GoodWorksTractors appreciate it

[@mikestout9349]

Courtney, while this is an impressive piece of equipment, I have an issue with driving over the material that is being cut. I have seen a piece of equipment that mounts to the front of an ATV. I believe it’s made in Italy. That way you don’t beat the crap out of the front of your ATV also.

[@Noah_E]

How fast do you mow? Most ZTMs max out at 8mph and I typically mow at less than 5mph. ATVs are designed to plow through brush at significantly higher speeds without any damage so that shouldn't be an issue. If anything I would be worried about running over something sharp and puncturing a tire when driving over material that's already been cut.

[@mikestout9349]

@@Noah_E if you were responding to my statement, I would be mowing pretty slowly. The reason I mentioned the flail mower from Italy is because you can offset it and also raise it to a vertical cutting position. We have trails throughout our 43 acres of woods. There are many briars that from time to time grow out from the sides of the paths. The video that I watched was put on GWT’s maybe a month ago or so. I watch every video that Courtney puts on his site. I could probably go back and rewatch it as I save them all. One of these days I’m going to make it up there to the shop as I’m only 30/40 miles south of there.

[@Crossfireranch1]

Cost of the mower you're using.

[@charlesbennett6242]

Looks like it could use another pass st an angle

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Looks like an awesome machine but for 9 to 10k? Not worth it imo.

[@turkojedi]

Looks like reaching under and cleaning plant debris and sap is a bit problem with this design

[@driverjamescopeland]

It apparently does a good job of handling tall material... as a flail should.... but the finish isn't nearly as good as others I've seen in the same conditions. This includes Wessex own models designed for front mount tractors.

[@SmokerBBQ]

When will on be ready for Ridgid?

[@firemanj35]

Nice job but I don't have a need

[@allen-gt5ng]

Hint ... don't cut when it's to wet to get stuck 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@kdegraa]

Maybe I should have bought one of these instead of a $45k tractor with a $7k mower attached.

[@noelcahill6707]

Wessex do tractor flails to or flail ditch mowers not sure if there with ye in america yet its mad all our stuff over here is only drip feeding to ye now

[@MrChipTalk]

Don't do this with the Del Marino PTO. Even with DRY tall grass.
