A Farm King finish mower is built like a box with square corners that collect and build up with cuttings. A flail will cut at the same speed as a rotary. Flails can do in one pass what a rotary would need 2 passes to get the same finish. Flails leave a very even discharge across the full width without anything to block the cuttings and have a full width roller to prevent scalping. I suspect that a lot of the posters on here have never used a flail mower. I know of Mott Interstators that were still in use after more than 20 years on the job in commercial applications. There are cheaper flails like the Fords and JD's but they are just that, cheap copies. Look at the thickness of the deck on an Alamo Super Heavy Duty flail and then look at a Ford. Look at the ring mounted blades that swivel in all directions for safety on an Alamo. If you want a HD mower that will last for decades and give you a manicured look, it would be very hard to find a better unit than an Alamo flail. They are more expensive but are true HD machines. For a good rotary finish mower, look at an Italian Sicma. Comparable in cost to a Farm King but has a formed steel deck without square corners for cuttings to collect in and cause plugging or big clumps of cuttings to be left in piles on your field. Dave

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
