I have an old (40 years?) Mott 60" wide flail. It's been an excellent piece of equipment, but reaching it's last days I'm afraid. Lots of holes rusted through the body. The gearbox splines are very worn and lots of slop. Parts are probably NLA. No worries, I've had it almost 30 years so the $700 I paid for it has paid itself back countless times.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
