[QUOTE="shumungus, post: 7643675, member: 55902"] Mower will leave grass in swards so not good. Flail topper is slow and leaves rough finish compared to a mower or good topper. A good quality rotary topper is designed for this type of work, a lot of the toy mickey mouse ones behind the tractor won't cut your wheel tracks and don't go hard enough to cut well. Another problem with toppers is people don't keep them sharp and blades are dear so don't tend to replace them till they are completely wore out. A good rotary topper properly set will cut evenly, cleanly, mulch the debris and spread it out. As regards cleanliness of cut a flail topper has a shaft speed of in around 2200rpm giving a flail tip speed of 110mph. Good rotarys like rhinos or SR's have a blade tip speed of 180 to 210 mph so if kept sharp will provide a cleaner cut. [/QUOTE]
