I've been looking for a flail mower for a couple of years. Just waiting to find a deal worth buying. I finally found a Land Pride FM 2160 flail mower. It was found locally and for a good price. I attached it to my Kubota B2601 and it works great!

Next time you move something that heavy just pick it up set it on a pallet and get it from the end. It’s safer for the trailer. Man what a find!😊

@jays1517 4 ай бұрын

It looks like the lower pins on the flail mower bolt on. Maybe you can buy some pins just a little bit longer so your quick-hitch would work? The other thing I wondered about watching this was whether you could have adjusted the width of the pallet forks narrow enough so you could use both to lift the flail mower rather than just one. With it level, it might have cleared the trailer rails?

Nice find Ed you are going to love it. 60”inch is a good size. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️

@joesalas7761 4 ай бұрын

The offset to one side is for mowing along fence rows. It keeps the tractor far enough from the fence so you can steer and maneuver easily while allowing you to mow right up to the fence.

@MoneypitHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for another great video, Ed. That flail mower gave your tractor a little bit of a problem getting it off the trailer. I think I would have just dropped the tailgate on the trailer and pulled it out from under it. But that is just me, LOL! I think you are going to be happy with the flail mower, and I love the finish you got, even in the shorter grass. Well, I had better run and do something today, and until next time, may God bless your days the way He always blesses ours! Donald

I had been looking at flail mowers for 1 year and never found a good used deal, so I broke down and bought a new Del Morino Funny Top 52” with hammers and manual side shift for my Kubota LX2610SU last month. I ran it 30 minutes for break in with no ground contact, but it has been too wet to try it out. I didn’t know the Land Pride flail mowers were made in Italy too. My unit is QH compatible - I hope you can adapt yours for that. Great find!

@raulhogland7309 2 ай бұрын

If you look at the top of your mower you can mount it with it off set to one side. That is what that extra set of rails are for.

Could you add longer pins to the flail mower? It will save you arches and ankles in the long run 😉

@rfb7117 4 ай бұрын

I switched over to a flail mower bout 20 yrs ago and have been very happy. You will find it will mulch up briars and small sticks quite well, and it you hit a larger stick etc you won't ruin anything. You will also find it throws it evenly out the rear unlike a bush hop that will windrow it. I use mine for all my trails through the fields and the woods. Maybe you can fabricate something to allow it to work on your quick hitch. Good Luck, Bob

@MyClutteredGarage 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Bob!

@craigguinn5423 4 ай бұрын

For the QH, I would probably extend the pins. I don’t think that would cause undue stress or balance issues. Not sure if you could adapt available pins/shafts or would need to custom fabricate. Also, I think you add 4-5” of pto, so you might need to update. Noticed the shaft guards are missing as well.

@MB-ik5we 4 ай бұрын

Great find! To leave my $.02 quick, when you lifted it up off the trailer I would’ve dropped the tailgate and moved the truck & trailer forward. Then you Dont need to bang it off the sides. Anyways thanks as always for the great video and enjoy you new toy… er I mean tool!

One more suggestion on converting to quickitch. It's gonna take a little cutting and welding but looks simple. I would cut the pipe up by the center link, either slap in the middle or on both sides of the center mount plate, and move bottom bolted mount to the outside of the brackets then reweld the top back, will need to add some bar stock to fill the gap

Hi Ed, I just bought a ditch, bank flail mower from Ironcraft, there is a learning curve. It such a versitile implement. Other than the adjustments on the mower you can fine tune cutting heights with your top link. There's alot going on running 3 sets of hydraulics while using it but I'm getting use to it now & love it. Not quick hitch compatiable but i'm old school. Enjoy & have a good day!

@MyClutteredGarage 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Ken!

@jacklabloom635 4 ай бұрын

You can get longer pins. They will have two nuts you use to adjust how far the pin extends out, instead of the fixed sleeve that came on the pins from the factory.

@ProductiveRecreation 4 ай бұрын

Tip for hooking up attachments without a quick hitch - get the left 3 point arm on first, then the right. You can adjust the height of the right arm to get it to line up, then once connected readjust the right arm for level. I have a nice hand crank leveling box on my tractor for that. Modern tractors typically work by threaded rod like the top link - much less convenient. You may find that size flail mower taxes your tractor. They generally require more hp than a rotary cutter or finish mower because of how they chew everything up. Still, great deal!

Ed I believe you can get newer pins that have a thicker base that will cause them to be wider so it will work in your quick hitch or you could just get oversized pins that are longer than the standard pins. I believe Tractor Supply sells those. As long as I’ve watched your videos (and I thought I was already subscribed) I never knew you were in Jersey. Greetings from Delaware lol.

I have Y blades on my mower and use it as my every week machine to cut a few acres. Mine offsets with the use of a clevis pin and it’s nice to get 12” past the right side wheel to really go close to fenceline. You can usually “sharpen” those blades with an angle grinder. Nice find for the price.

If it makes you feel better diesel is over 9 dollars a gallon over here at the moment (assuming I have done my conversion right). Could you buy or make some longer pins with a shoulder on them to make it fit on the quick hitch? It looks like a great attachment and does a very good job.
