Introduction to Flail Mowers: The Essential Guide for Beginners

Writer: Beckside MachineryBeckside Machinery

If you're new to the world of flail mowers, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know. Flail mowers are a type of agricultural and landscaping equipment used for cutting through heavy grass, overgrown vegetation, and small branches. Unlike traditional mowers, they use small blades (or flails) attached to a rotating drum. This design makes them ideal for tough mowing jobs where a regular lawn mower might struggle.

What is a Flail Mower?

A flail mower is a robust and versatile piece of equipment designed to handle difficult terrain and overgrown areas. The name "flail" comes from the use of free-swinging blades that are attached to the drum by a chain or clevis. These blades "flail" out when the drum spins, efficiently cutting through dense vegetation.


Why Choose a Flail Mower?

Flail mowers are particularly useful for:

  • Mowing overgrown and rough areas

  • Clearing underbrush and small saplings

  • Maintaining road verges and embankments

  • Agricultural tasks on farms

Their design allows them to handle obstacles better than other mowers, reducing the risk of damage to the mower or the operator.
