We will be flail mowing in a couple months,, if SamMac has his way,,
Today, I had to see if my new to me tractor would handle the flail mower,, I had some 8" tall pasture grass to try it on. it did it perfectly,, 90" wide cut at about 5 1/2 MPH. Will it hang over a ditch,, or what!!?? |

John you need to touch up the paint on the wheels and do something about that seat. It's not like you to run a machine that doesn't look like it just came out of the factory.

sorry to pull this out of the archives.
Would someone with one of those pull behind flail mowers mind posting a couple pics of the underside? I am considering building one and I want to see what things look like underneath the smaller units. |

It's just a rotating tube with swinging knives. Google "flail mower" and click "images". They spin really fast, and need balanced. You'd be hard pressed to build one without a lathe and really good welder. Plus you'll have to find someone to balance the shaft, and you will have to buy the blades/knives/hammers (whatever you choose). By the time you buy all the stuff, you can go find a Bush Hog unit and buy it. It's kind of like making you're own lawn mower. Easier to buy one.

Oh trust me I would love to just buy one, I don't need another project right now that's for sure... trouble is the new ones are outrageous, and I cant find a used one around here to save my life... not even a PTO unit I could convert! |

Took 2 years for me to find a planter. Believe me, building a flail mower is going to cost you more than buying one. (I'm not convinced you have the tooling it requires anyway. You'd likely have to source out some of the work.) Just stop thinking about it. You'll find one. Be patient. You survived without it this long, you don't "need" it that bad.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
