In Australia your topper is called a slasher ( brush hog in the U.S. ) and for cutting grass it's usual to have the swing blades sharpened at a similar angle as ride on mower blades and flat blades like yours are reversible so you could have one side sharp for grass and the other a dull edge for smashing down saplings and regrowth . Sharp blades will give a surprisingly nice finish , I use mine regularly on my few acres and tidy around trees and fence lines with the ride on .

As a retired lawnmower dealer myself from northern Ireland I love all your videos. Your teaching you son well. Why don't you get a demo on the new weibang brush mower and the tracked flail mower .

@MachineryNation 3 ай бұрын

Thank you Ian. We have done a lot of work with Weibang in the past as know them very well. But since I sold off my dealership we can’t seem to get too much sense out of them this year, hopefully they will come round 👍🏼

@MachineryNation yea we sold a lot of weibangs and cobra and ego and lots more

I just bought a small Winton 105 Flail Mower and it's great, be worth checking the oil in the gearbox as mine was 150ml short.👍

Hi James , nothing wrong with a Same or any of SDF group of tractors I owned two air cooled Deutz tractors and regret selling them to this day they were bulletproof and other than servicing never put a spanner on them and one of them had done over thirteen thousand hours when I sold it.👍

Hi James, good bit of kit there, I don't know much about farm machinery but I do enjoy this . Just a thought with this power coming off a PTO could this be powered from a back of an old Land Rover series 2 or 3 off the PTO off the rear diff, just a though mate. As always a great video Take care

James FTS also do a couple of winton power harrows. What about checking those out. that would be pretty good to see.

We may well do 👍🏼 we featured their stone buried on our Vlog channel.

Flail mowers are obviously far superior especially if front mounted. But need more hp and then the fuel to go with. We have now gone to a Major Cyclone, it's an amazing bit of kit. I can highly recommend it. Works almost as well as a flail but without the need for the hp or fuel.

I was pleasantly surprised how well it handled the rushes, could be the blade design.

I dont think these are cheap horsepower, for example you could say that mccormick which used to be case ih knock offs as they had the same designs would be cheap horsepower but its all relative in what your using it for, using it everyday for contracting work, maybe, but if your using it for bits and bobs on your land then no trouble at all

He said "short work" ,this what they say in Norfolk . I wonder if you also have "three corner fields" .

@MachineryNation 3 ай бұрын

Haha, yeah short work lol. I grew up on a farm where we had 2 x ‘Three corners’ on one farm and another on another farm. We also had “the one above 3 corners” but it had 4 corners 😂😂

wouldnt recomend that topper. looks light duety and having the support frame under the machine makes it harder to clean and more suseotable to rust. also dont like how it unches the grass up in a swath
