It's one ditch, not a full walkaround, best for owners wanting practical flail-mower operating tips.
Posted by Wayne, an owner-operator on the Tractor Living and Land Works channel sharing hands-on experience from his own property.
Wayne uses one remote to set the angle on the flail mower and uses the three-point hitch to raise and lower it, taking his time to keep the angle right along the ditch center.
Wayne runs in first gear, low range, starting out slow, then may speed up to second gear low range, running about 2000 RPM on the 440E setting.
Yes, Wayne says last year with unloaded tires the setup felt tippy, but with tires loaded adding over 1,000 pounds, he has much more control and comfort.
Wayne backs up and brings the mower in behind the tractor to clear obstacles like drain pipes and a telephone box, then extends it back out afterward.
