: I was at an auction this weekend and saw a mowing attachment called a Mott mower (I think Mott was the manufacturer). It was a PTO driven device with hundreds of short chains in a 6' wide drum that spun around and presumably cut the grass. Unfortunately the price got too high for me and I didn't get it. It looked like it would have been a real nice machine for mowing my big lawn. Does anyone have any experience with this type of mower? What type of use are they intended for? What is the proper name for this type of implement? Are they better or worse than a bush hog? : Thanks in advance, : Trev. Trev, The Mott is known as a "flail type" mower. Those short chains you saw should have short modified L shaped blades on them. The Mott had closley spaced blades for a flail mower and leaves a smoother cut on grass, heavy grass or light weed cutting than a "Bush Hog" type mower. A 48 or 60 inch Mott on a cub will leave a cut almost equal to a reel mower. Generally the "Bush Hog" will cut heavier stuff, but, some other flail mowers were built with much heavier blades and wider blade spacing than the Mott and would cut brush. Harold H.
