There are 2 schools of thought about flail mowers,folks either love them or hate them. There is very little middle ground. I have a 60" Mott behind my 650 John Deere,(Yanmar) compact diesel. I extended the 3 pt hitch pins 7 inches forward and made a 7" long pivoting connection for the top link also. I also made adjustable castering front gauge wheels so that they set the front height of cut and the rear roller sets the rear height. I mostly use it for a large lawn mower on 2 acres here. I lower it to the ground and it floats along the contour of the ground cutting at the preset height and for gentle turns I don't even have to lift it. Does a real good job this way. I have been running it since 1987 and only replaced the blades once. I have sharpened them a few times and replaced broken ones but basically it cuts everything I ask it to do and does a good job. It will shred limbs and sapling up to 2" in diameter and leaves a nice pile of chips on the ground. I added a vinyl skirt to the front and rear so that it does not sling grass and dust from under it. The skirt on the rear leaves a nice smooth even trail of cut grass behind it as you mow and the short piece on the front keeps the dust from coming out the front as you cut. It cannot handle ropes, vines and wire or even garden hoses because they wind around the drum and choke it down. I owned on before this one on a Cub 154 Low boy. Good mower but pitiful excuse for a tractor. I had to let the buyer have the mower so I could get rid of the tractor. This one will be here when I am gone most likely.
