I put a flail mower on our Grasshopper 900D zero turn mower and was amazed at what it would cut! #grasshoppermowers #mowdays #zeroturn #lawnmower

We have a similar setup on a different power unit for making and maintaining trails on a large timber property we use for all types of recreation, we added a sickle bar cutter hydraulically driven separate from the flail that can be placed on the pusher bar upfront to pre cut tall brush before it goes through the flail. We can also mount that sickle to one side in a vertical orientation to cut brush encroaching higher up into the trails. Those zero turns with large diesel engines and hydraulic systems can do so much more than mow grass . They make excellent spraying platforms also..

I salivated over one of these for years. I love a flail deck. Had one for my tractor, and one for my Toro Groundsmaster. I bought a 930D with plans to purchase this deck for it... but the power unit is a death sentence on my property. Now I have a Ventrac, but really wish Peruzzo would make a 72" deck for it. Ventrac's deck is good... but I prefer the versatility of Peruzzo decks.

The problem with a mower like that is it makes your yard bigger, you just can't stop mowing stuff down going deeper and deeper into stuff the old mower can't cut, next thing you know the yard gets bigger. Then you got to mow more stuff. 5 years ago I bought a used John Deere front mount mower from a golf course I started out with 4 acres of grass to mow and by the 2nd cut with the front mount I gained another 2 acres of grass to mow
