Flail topper

[Tony1989]

Hi, are they any good for tidying fields up, cutting bents etc or only any good for heavier stuff like thistles, rushes etc? Thanks

They make a good job because the flails suck up everything & chop it off ,and in to bits too.
especially in the wheel marks

Excuse dirty windows , cut with a votex flail

I think they are best at tidying fields.
Brilliant at mopping up after mob grazing.
The only topper to handle brash.
Useless in heavy rushes.

Thanks all, we usually use a old jf trailer mower but theirs always something wrong with it now, had a major offset topper before, absolutely useless found a set of folding flail toppers but never tried a flail

Powered by a 125hp tractor I have yet to find something it won’t eat , the biggest failing is the rear roller

Here's my Teagle dual 280. Top pictures are what it does to marshland reeds and hemlock. Bottom one is what it does to tall scrubby grass, that I didn't want to mow, at the bottom of the hay field. Easily one of our best buys. Just need front linkage/PTO for it one day.

Is that one of the few with a belt tensioner on it? That is something I’d be looking for if buying, must get a lot more life out of them if they’re never going slack.

go for a front mounted or side one if you can, yes they can suck up the wheelings a bit but its never perfect

What about rotary batwings, I’ve seen one of them now

My kvernland has a belt tensioner on it. Never goes slack.

What was wrong with the Major? I was looking at 8 foot offset toppers recently, and the Major was by far the most expensive of the ones I priced.

Yeah it has a tensioner. All you have to do is put a pump of grease on it once in a while.

Really like it as a flail. Used a Kuhn at a place I worked at a few years back. That was well made and the Teagle is every bit as good.

Why they don’t all have them is a mystery to me, save the faff of loosening every bolt on the gearbox and farting about trying to figure out how tight is too tight and all the rest of it.

It makes it alot less hassle that's for sure.
