Which Flail Mower Should you BUY? Tractor vs ATV

[@deathruddlesdeathruddles5438]

The banter is off the chart! Throughly entertaining video!

[@MachineryNation]

Hahaha, thanks dude 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@happyglampers9053]

Definitely the best example on here comparing flail mowers. Thank you 👏💪👍

[@charflay7099]

This is very top gear like layout wise. Great vid

[@MachineryNation]

So it is haha. Just smaller budget 😂😉

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Great video, my daughter had a loan of a logic flail, for cutting thistles she was told by the owner not to drop it low on first cut and to just cut down in stages and it made a great job and left hardly any lumps 👍

[@romurphy9606]

Great content, had me in stitches and some excellent machinery

[@theowebsterelectricalservices]

Deep pockets but short arms 🤣🤣 great video lads ! Lee saving the day bringing in the big guns 👊🏻🤣

@@MachineryNation no point in just watching a bit of it 🤷‍♂️ great vid lads

[@MachineryNation]

@@theowebsterelectricalservices thanks mate. Appreciate it 👍🏼

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi James + Josh + Lee, Great fun and all three grass toppers are good in there own field ( pun ) grassland, meadow, paddock. Great machines, good cuts. Catch you soon Take care

[@4TK-d3h]

We've got the Chapman FM150 pro flail,sit nice between all these. It's never let's us down yet,beast.

[@BT-cy2zg]

Another great video, thank you. We have a Del Morino flail - absolutely brilliant, great height adjustnent and amazing cut. Well worth tapping up for next demo

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Great video, thanks

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you Patrick 👍🏼

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Thursday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset

[@2626stephen]

Interesting one team one way of getting your grass cut. Something for everyone needs.

[@janh9030]

Fendt 724 is a nice allrounder 👌🏼 Mulching looked awesome 💪🏼 TMC and Berti are some heavy mulcher with quality❤

[@philipoconnor2236]

Ye are like the top gear of farming......... but better !! 😂👌❤

[@MachineryNation]

More like ‘choose a gear any gear’ haha

[@gordonmacritchie1500]

I have an old foster tl 7 pasture topper on an even older International 584. I have cut thick rushes with it that were up to the bonnet. First gear sharpen the blades take your time no problems

[@spencehh]

Liking that you are telling prices 👍

[@Chicken-x6q6d]

If someone said I had to drive that Fendt over that kind of stuff every work day for the rest of my life I would be delighted! I like all of those actually, that I bet that quad bike setup would have been good for the industrial sites I used to cut as it has a nice low centre of gravity for those steep sides and enough power to blend up all the stuff you find on them including the litter and whatnot. That side shift on the other one will certainly come in handy, that function certainly saved me a lot of time/faffing around on my old forklift.

[@MachineryNation]

It is such a beautiful tractor. And I still haven’t driven a Fendt 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@topgearstig1]

Great video keep it up 👍🏻

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you 🤩

[@DJC995]

Nice one Guys They all done the job machines for all users have found slow and steady works best for using a flail need to get are winton verge mower out to cut in the ditches been using a Major cyclone for most of are topping / jungle clearing jobs not quite the same finish as a flail but no belts to burn😀😀 out Thanks again

[@MachineryNation]

Ideal Darran, how’s the Winton verge topper? I would love to try one of them.

[@DJC995]

@@MachineryNation It's a good bit of kit if works fully of set and use as a Heage flail if your brave enough 😀😀

[@seanmcdermott5260]

Here in Galway in 1985 topping high thistles for a neighbour with my John deere 2850 and major 9ft topper, I hit a dead sheep. I still have that smell up my nose.

[@ashtreecare]

Cracking video lads all I keep saying now is whale tail flail 🤣🤣

[@jonathantucker7965]

I have the wessex version of the logic using y type flails. It would be interesting to see if they were any better in the rushes

[@stuartrobertson4714]

Old school when topping for cattle and sheep is the old long match box side ways for sheep straight up and down for cattle

[@nickhosegood9700]

This a perfect blend of Clarkson’s farm and Top Gear 😂

[@MachineryNation]

@@nickhosegood9700 hahaha

[@shane8644]

I always prefer a rotary topper goes through heavy rushes fine aslong as you have good shear bolts 😅

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah we used a Winton for Rushes earlier in the year, worked great 👍🏼

[@grahamkelland]

Interesting trail but horses for courses, a comparison between the flail and rotary would of been good to see. I use a McConnell topper 9 9ft cut rotory topper and cut acres of rushes like in the video.

[@anthonykeane154]

Bet max was all over that fendt 😂 😅

[@MachineryNation]

He loved it Ant, proper Fendt fan lol

[@aidandoherty5076]

The problem with the Winton is that there isn't enough of a gap behind to get rid of the material, I have a chapman atv flail and I had to take the guard off the back and it's performance was way better

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah 100% We mention this at the end.

[@simonrodda394]

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we've found worthy successors to Top Gear/Grand Tour 🙂 Great video. Bet Harry and Jeremy will be fans of this channel soon.

[@kris_shutler]

Did you know James, theres always Logic when buying a topper 😂😂😂😂

[@MrEggyman99]

I'll stick to my URS 100, it's just fun xD great video

[@MatthewEggleton-r5b]

Nice fendt

[@MachineryNation]

Beautiful tractor!

[@almclean4835]

We had a logic flail, rushes were hard work for it as you’ve found out. Burning belts off was the biggest issue we had

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Al 👍🏼 That could have been one of the older versions with a centrifugal clutch, where now they are designed to stall rather then over cook the belts.

[@almclean4835]

@@MachineryNation quite possibly. Didn’t know they’d made changes. Good wee machines for paddocks and foot paths

[@Toe5460]

what quadbike was pulling that topper? wondering if my Honda 250 could pull the topper. The hitch in on the rear axle so I'm not sure last time it pulled a 10ft sailboat downhill. The field is an 2 to 1 acres I'm unsure but the field is on a 25 to 30 degree angle.

[@MachineryNation]

This was a Suzuki 500 auto. A 250 wouldn’t be big enough for a flail I wouldn’t say. Maybe on flat ground, but flail would be heavy and push you down hill and you would need 4 wheel drive up hill.

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Leave the sheep back into that field now, they would love that fresh cut stuff, middle topper is good value for money I think

[@keithhooper6123]

Have the smallest Winton flail mower,and use it with a Yanmar 16bhp tractor.

[@MachineryNation]

Nice, how do you get on?

[@keithhooper6123]

Obviously need a few passes on heavy growth, but fine on shorter grass and weeds.

[@noelcahill6707]

Do you know what ye need to do guys how to measure and cut a new pto shaft video

[@MachineryNation]

We can do 👍🏼

[@kris_shutler]

Come on James. Im disappointed with the Fendt outfit. I was expecting a rear flail as well

[@MattTester]

I tell you what, Devonian Top Gear is off to a flier.

[@MachineryNation]

Hahaha, more like ‘bottom cog’ I recon lol

[@MattTester]

@@MachineryNationI thought you might not like being called Low Range!

[@stuartwarrick6444]

Can anyone help me with this I run a 630 spearhead topper and it’s not very reliable and looking for something else it doesn’t have to be 6 metres but just seen a razor back on here but don’t know what they are like. Can anyone give me some advice.

[@GuyWall-k4s]

The temptation is to copy top gear. Top gear is a dead donkey. Be unique

i own a tractor thats over 500 hp

need a bigger tractor its small
