Spencer explains why flail-mowing precedes rototilling, walks through the mower's knife-and-shackle mechanics, and notes the offset mounting for orchard/wall work. Light on tractor specs; most useful to shoppers curious about flail mower compatibility and rear-implement workflow on a 40-hp-class machine.
A dealership channel (Townline Equipment, with locations in New Hampshire and Vermont), so expect a sales-oriented presentation of their own Kubota and Alamo implement inventory.
Flail mowing turns crop residue into fine particles, so the material won't wrap around the rototiller drum, giving a much finer finish when tilling.
The three-point hitch is mounted off to the side, letting about three feet of the mower hang off the right so the tractor can clip under apple trees or run along a stone wall without being against it.
The mower uses two wide knives on a shackle that sits between two ears on the mower, held by a single pin with a cotter pin, making field knife changes simple.
