TMG Flail Mower Review cutting real stuff!

Here's a video of the TMG Industrial Flail mower. First, it works great. It acts like a wood chipper, lawn mower and stump grinder. Second, a cab on my tractor would be nice.... the dust this beast creates is crazy. Third: There are some issues, but they don't impact the operation of it.
1) It needs to be fast hitch compatible. It's 2023 guys....
2) The rubber guard on the back must be made of recycled cardboard. It is totally shredded in just a few hours.
3) They need to put restrictors in the hydraulic lines. I hooked this up to my FEL hydraulic system, and it will launch the thing into the other county because it is so fast. Maybe if you use it on a Chinese tractor with no hydraulic flow it would work... but on an American Tractor built in America by Americans the hydraulic flow is too high.
Thanks for watching. The last ten minutes of this I do trail clearing with it, so skip ahead if that is all you want to see.

Thanks John. Lots of dust flying!

That really does a nice job. Doesn’t sound like the tractor is working hard at all.

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

it does well on trails. Beating back my neighbors fence line though is hard on the tractor and mower.....!!

Thanks for watching. Last time I called pretty much parts were available.... has that changed?

[@ianmclean5541]

Looking to purchase a flail mower. In your opinion should I go with TMG or spend the extra $2000 for a Frontier? I’m doing occasional cutting, not professionally.

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

Well.... good luck getting parts and service for the TMG... I'd go with Mother Deere....

[@ianmclean5541]

@@WaynesWorldGarage thanks. I actually decided to go with the John Deere after I watched another couple videos. Those things are built like a tank. Really not a comparison for quality.

[@cedricgates9976]

looks like its doing a great job what horsepower do they recomend you have to run it and how about rocks what if you hit one that you cant see

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

Cedric, They suggest 30-60 HP. The 4400 is supposed to be 37 or so. It has plenty of power for what I am doing. WRT rocks... there are not many rocks in this part of Maryland. Lots of sand and dirt though!!!

[@york806]

♠another thing, u-joints don`t like to run @ more than 15°

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

not sure I can do anything about that!!

[@rsrolltide]

You're doing a heck of a job and you showed exactly what I was interested in seeing.. thick overgrown vegetation with bushes and small trees. Does it look worth the money... heck yeah! I'd say your rubber guard couldn't take the pea gravel you kicked up. Maybe adjust the skids to raise the mower so it isn't plowing or use the tractor lift. Spoke too another guy said these things are capable of near finish mower results on lawns. Thanks for the video.

Can you say what the maximum cutting height is? I have asked the company three times. Got one response and they failed to answer the question. Instead they referred me to somebody else. Probably only 2.5 inches! They don't want anyone to know I guess. After seeing the flimsy plastic guard disintegrate I can see I need something a little more durable.

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

Yea, 2.5 inches is about right. They didn't answer probably because they have no clue. It seems to work ok, although the guard is junk.

[@york806]

Could you raise it up a little for your first time through a new area?

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

yes

[@johnwoody4905]

good video and job. works well thats for sure the rubber at the back is to defect rocks, they make a lot of them now some will take out stumps on logs but they go on loaders. take care, be safe and well,

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

yea, real ones are hydraulic powered....
