He walks through a concrete list of pros (mulching quality, offset positioning, 65-degree tilt, radiator clearance) and cons (price roughly 30% higher, weight concerns on subcompacts, dual-remote requirement). Best for compact and subcompact tractor owners weighing this specific purchase.
Titan Attachments provided the unit at no charge, which Tony discloses, making this a sponsored-product test from an otherwise owner-operator homestead channel.
In heavily matted 4-foot grass, briars, and small trees, the flail mower mulched everything into tiny pieces with nothing left, which the host says he has not seen a rotary cutter do.
It costs about 30 percent more than a conventional flail or rotary cutter, is heavier which can be an issue on subcompact tractors on hillsides, and needs dual rear remotes.
The tractor used only had about 17.5 PTO horsepower and still chewed through thick brush and a decent sized small tree with no issue.
The host says it keeps everything inside the chamber, with nothing thrown at him, unlike a rotary cutter which can throw things out the back and front.
