[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8860860, member: 54866"] If it is only for margins and you aren't doing day after day/hundreds of acres I would say a 3m flail machine, probably a muthing with the ability to run it on the front or back. They are all PTO driven, you won't get enough grunt from hydraulic power alone without a whole raft of grief, cooling and efficiency losses, etc. Before you buy the thing speak with the manufacturer or their technical guys and tell them what tractor(s) you intend to put it on. Your 240hp Fendt may well be able to run it in economy PTO if the correct gearbox is specified. With the right flails a Muthing (or Kuhn) will cut it as low as you want and shred every bit. They are also quite resistant to grief from foreign bodies- the Muthing in particular is built like a tank and I know Kuhn machines aren't far behind. If you need more output and are doing bigger areas routinely year after year then it is worth considering a front and back combination or a batwing but the cost starts to escalate as does the power requirement.
