It gives a candid look at the flail mower as a mulcher, including real hammer-replacement costs and durability notes, but the chainsaw work and storytelling take over the second half. Best for homesteaders curious about flail mowers in heavy scrub conditions.
An owner-operator homestead channel where Tony and Tanja document their own land-clearing and building projects firsthand, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
At the time of the video, each hammer replacement costs about eight to twelve dollars, depending on when it was purchased.
Over several acres of use, only three hammers broke, and one of those was from running over a piece of concrete, which does not really count.
Yes, the video shows the flail mower running over logs and dense vine-choked scrub, with the mulcher handling the material well.
