I asked ventrac. They told me the fine flail would do"almost" as good as the finish mower on turf and better at everything else. Turns out they were correct. Thank you for actually giving proof though
Great video. I think this is a better comparison. The fine cut flail is not meant to handle heavy grass and weeds. I am impressed with what the fine cut can do. Keep the videos coming
Not sure why anyone would want such a stark monoculture of a lawn, why not some diversity of plant material that would benefit the local wildlife ecosystem.
The flail mower did a beautiful job. There is one problem with using a flail mower as a finish mower---Sharpening all those blades. I would hate to be the one to sharpen a flail as a finish mover. A rotary finish mower makes more sense from a maintenance standpoint.
Thanks! It’s interesting you said the flail seemed to take more power than the toughcut deck when you were in heavy growth, but in normal lawn cutting, it took less! So…. Why are you giving it back?? I’d hang on to that attachment!
Thanks for the review. I wonder about the maneuverability (mowing around trees, up against fences, flowerbed edging..) of the flail with the castors out front vs the finish for residential type operations. Any thoughts?
I think it would do allright. I am trying to get a fast cut flail in the next to weeks. If i get one i will try to add that to the video, Mowing around stuff like that.
What is the real difference in cut on turf grass between fine cut flail and the fast cut flail? Do you think the fast cut flail will cut good on turf grass? If you can get a fast cut flail to demo that would be great too? Either way I really want a Ventrac myself I think they are great machines.

Wow, you have such a beautiful lawn. Thank you for comparing the two. The flare did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Im looking into a new finish mower and these flail mowers have great cut on regular lawn I may buy a 3pt flail and have best of both worlds
Great video. I think this is a better comparison. The fine cut flail is not meant to handle heavy grass and weeds. I am impressed with what the fine cut can do. Keep the videos coming
Thank you. I will try to do the same tests if I can get my hands on a fast cut flail.

Awesome Ventrac and amazing piece of property!!!
Thank you

That is true
Beautiful cut!
Great video, Ltd seeing videos on vent trac
Great video. I would love to see a comparison with the wide area mower and the flail.
I have a wide area mower video coming in the next few days. Not against the flail tho.
Thanks for the video

Trust me I would love to have it. There are a few more attachments on my list first.

Thanks you for this video.
Your welcome
Great video....how many knifes are on the flail, and how much to replace?
36 Knives on this one. I am not sure on the cost per knife.
Very interesting comparison. What does Ventrac say that the flail can or is intended to cut?
I have not asked them, But you can use it on turf.
Can you cut Hillsides with the Flail Mower?
Yes ypu can
The flail is more $$. If you break a flail you have stop and replace it.

I think the fine cut would work better, But some say the Y blades work well also. If I can get my hands on a fast cut I will be sure to test it out.
@@steiger256 good luck if you can get one and thanks for the helpful info that you give
@@chrisreddick36 Your welcome. I was told they will be hard to get.
