Cripes sounds err crap. If wholegoods is an ache, how does that bode for ordering spares to go with them in that case?

No! One i sourced separately! I had to give up on those ... apparently they struggled to keep up with orders ... queer old set up

To be fair spares are fine .. filling whole good orders isn’t

I’ve an old krm (rebadged falc) that is an animal.
Only thing that’s ever stopped it was a horse rug (you know, the ones that owners don’t leave lying in the grass)
Might be for sale soon

how much are you expecting for the rug now

 

[Dave W]

Well to be fair it’s still largely intact. It’s probably worth nowt though. Can you imagine dressing your horse in last years style of rug ?

Maschio are very good flails we’ve got one very tough and better than the kuhn it replaced

 

[Deutzdx3]

Orsi and Vigolo are very good. Well priced and tough machines. I currently have a cabe. They are specifically designed for pulverising orchards. They’re a different level of flail. 10mm top, 12mm sides. 250mm rotor. Complete animal.

On second votex landmaster love it

Vigalo are very good ,they were the manufactures for vogel & noot toppers

 

[Dave W]

To be fair most of these flails come out of Italy are are very well made.
My mate sells del morino machines and whilst they’re not mega heavy monster things they are very adequate for general grass cutting duties at a fraction the cost of the big names. They do make a big beast which looks an absolute animal with mulching insert bits

I loved the vigalo I used to use.....

Always think you’ll shred/slip belts before you do any damage to a gearbox

Bought one at auction last year with a new gearbox on it, Maschio.

Ok so ended up with the spearhead xrhd 280, just spent a few hours cutting heavy rush this morning and first impressions are good. Early days I know but looking forward to getting a few of the rougher bits tidied up over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help folks!

Any pointers on what size of flail topper I could put on my JD6320? For cutting heavy rushes nout else, roughly what price could I be look at for a new one?

Have the slightly wider one, it’s the only make we haven’t killed in 2 seasons, this one has lasted 5 so far. Rotor was balanced by Votex last week.

We got an 2.6m MDL powerup executioner in the summer. Think it was £4500

Happy with it so far. Heavy built and half the price of a Kuhn or mashio. Doesn’t matter which one you get if u hit a big stone there all buggered!

Any idea who makes them?

 

[Stw88]

No idea. The gearboxes do look exactly the same as the ones on a Kuhn tho. Flails are £10 a piece so not the end of the world when you knock one off. I really wanted a 2.8 but they were sold out. 3m ones are just too big for getting through gateways. Have shredded gorse bushes with it no problem.
