      Negative, take a look at this section of the video 4:20-4:50. Yes it does chop up the material more going over it again, but its not necessary because it already does an awesome job chopping up the material. The load on the engine is about the same cutting mostly already cut material, with a little uncut material. In the video, I try to maintain about 3000rpm on tachometer, because that's where the sweet spot seemed to be as far as keeping the most production (speed) and cut quality. Thanks For Watching!

      Description says flail mower... Ventracs have a diesel engine and work an attachment with a Power take off aka PTO... the flail mower on this one is a 6 foot width... Flails are a series of short chains each with a U shaped blade on the end of it... Each chain arpund 4 or 6 inches long... All attached to a barrel bar in the middle... As this bar spins the flails extend and cut the grass... The discharge if you look real close... You can see all this cut grass laying neatly right where it got cut... Hard to see but that is a flail mower in a rundown form... Hope this helps!

    Well the flail mower seems to mulch and distribute the clippings better but is maybe a bit slower. I couldn't tell if it was leaving more pushed over grass than the ToughCut but the areas that were double cut definitely looked better with the FastCut. Which one do you prefer?
    Edit: This property is my favorite for "overgrown grass" videos. Maybe next time you could record the whole thing?

    • @westriverlawnsnow3452
      @westriverlawnsnow3452  3 роки тому +5

      The speed at witch you can mow this type of vegetation, as far as density and height goes, is VERY similar to that of the Tough Cut. In our experience, NO, the FastCut flail mower does NOT leave streaks of uncut material like the Tuff Cut does from the front caster wheels, as longs as you place your outside caster wheel, outside of the uncut material that's been ran over by the inside caster wheel. That was one of thee biggest and I mean BIGGEST reasons we wanted to demo the FastCut flail mower. I would say 90% of what we have mowed with the Tough Cut, has just been tall, and at times, really tall (6'+) grass. We hands down prefer the FastCut Flail mower for mowing tall grass in "clean" areas where there isn't a bunch of protruding rocks, and large debris, for example. We wouldn't use the FastCut flail mower to mow an area that's riddled with rocks, large debris, etc., because its simply not meant for that. It does a much better job of actually cutting the material, and leaves an awesome finish compared to the Tuff Cut in grass.
      I tried to answer your questions the best I could.

    Look, I know nothing about the Ventrac series of machines, but why do all Ventrac operators drive the thing so slowly - is it because that it will not go faster? If it can go faster, can the operator set cutting height within a range( just like a walk-behind push mower ) and start high on the first cut and lower it when the grass is more manageable ( second, maybe third cut ). It appears to me that the machine is being coddled, when it might be pushed harder - quite a lot harder, especially given its size and power. Puzzled onlooker!
