Its going to be a case of pay for a good quality flail mower ment for your type of workload now and in doing so knowing where you can obtain wear parts and V belts locally quickly. They will also send you a price quote too. They are made in California and have dealers in every state in the lower 48 states their orchard and vineyard flail mowers have been on the market for a very long time and are also very easy to maintain as they show in their literature. You should read the thread as it will answer all your questions.Ĭheck the Vrisimo home page Vrisimo-Flail Mowers and Shredders Has anyone seen both of these flails in person to compare them? Any other guidance to offer?įinally, is there any other flail mower under $3000 that I should be aware of? I'm familiar with the Caroni and it's made in Italy, vs. Other than those it looks very similar in design and capability. I called up Woodmaxx to get some info and had a positive call but can't say I really learned all that much.įrom viewing the Woodmaxx website, here's what I see as potential benefits: The Woodmaxx flail has been getting a lot of interest here and would cost around the same delivered price ($2349 with "free shipping" but I would probably have to pay extra for a liftgate and gravel road delivery). The Caroni TM-1900 is a known quantity for me and is going to cost about $2378 shipped to my house. I had no other issues in about 4.5 years of use. But changing belts is tedious and difficult due to both the belt cover design and the tensioner design. I shredded belts one time when something got wrapped around the rotor. My only significant complaint was on changing belts. In my use the Caroni flail worked very well. Not surprisingly, I liked the Caroni flail better!
I've used both a light duty rotary cutter and a Caroni TM-1900 flail mower before, on a different but somewhat similar farm. Over time much of it will become orchard or managed vegetable garden, but that will take years and even then I'll be mowing around the rows and edges. I need a rough cut mower for maintaining about 25 acres of field, which is currently overgrown with weeds and some bushes / brush.
I know about the huge flail mowers thread and would prefer to keep this separate and narrow.
