[QUOTE="Wigeon, post: 8861147, member: 52408"] I have an ancient 4.5m spearhead batwing, and a muthing 3m front mounted flail. It's a slow job if you're used to drilling and rolling at 12m. Batwings: Brilliant, will cut anything. Had the spearhead 25yrs. Been overturned in ditches, had some seriously unsympathetic operators, and still it keeps going. Snapped 1 input shaft and done two wheel bearings in that time, other than punctures. Literally nothing else. Can leave cuttings in stripes. Doesn't get everything in the wheelings. Get one with a flat top. Cleaning off is a pita on the old spearhead. Buy a leaf blower... Best brands are spearhead, razorback and woods. Your 240hp will take a 6m. Front flails. Leave it like a lawn.Bought mine for topping organic leys as wanted zero seed return. Muthing do suspension springs which are good. Obviously slower than wider batwing. Pulling onto the road is less fun. Buy new. [/QUOTE]
