Flail mowers are robust machines designed to work on large areas. Because of this, they require adequate power from the tractor they work with. How much tractor power for a flail mower is necessary? Everything depends on both the model of the mower itself and our needs, or the specifics of the place where we will work. After all, there are both smaller flail mowers with a compact design that work with mini tractors, thus being able to reach hard-to-reach places. Traktor.com.pl offers models that are compatible with tractors as small as 9 horsepower with a large tractor weight. One such equipment is a proposal from the 4Farmer brand - a flail mower EF 85. This mulcher is equipped with 28 Y-blades (basic equipment, it is possible to replace them with flail hammers - both at the stage of purchasing the equipment and during its operation), and the mowing width is equal to 850 mm. The mower has a robust working shaft and a rear coping shaft, which allows you to adjust the height of mowing and keep the mower at the selected height. The drive from the tractor's power take-off is equal to 540 rpm. When looking for more powerful equipment, we must, of course, expect that it will need more power to operate properly and efficiently. Thus, if we need heavy equipment of the EFGC type, we must set ourselves up for the need to work with a tractor with more power, such as 60 hp. An example of a flail mower that requires such tractor parameters is the EFGCN 175 4FARMER model. The equipment is designed for mowing and cultivating meadows, roadsides, recreational areas, wastelands and pastures. It will also prove useful for eliminating small bumps or molehills. Thanks to the rather large limitations of falling stones from under the mower, the equipment can be used in built-up areas. The flail mower in this series has a working width of 1750 mm, 4 V-belts, an output of 1.75 ha/h and is equipped with 28 flail hammers, which can be replaced by 56 Y-shaped knives. 

Traktor.com.co.uk also offers more massive models compatible with tractors up to 130 hp. If you need help in selecting a model for the specific space where the mower is to work, contact us - thanks to many years of experience in the industry, we will find equipment that will meet your needs and expectations. In the assortment of the store we have products from reputable brands only. In addition to flail mowers from 4Farmer, we also offer machines from Geograss or TRX.

Flail mowers are equipment equipped with flails mounted on a cutting shaft. This type of mechanism allows for efficient and accurate mowing of large areas, tall grasses, branches or bushes. Agricultural flail mowers are available in several variants, which include:

• EF lightweight - compact, with a lightweight design, suitable for mulching smaller grass areas and lower plant waste. Equipment in this category has a lighter weight, making it compatible with very small tractors with less power. EF lightweight flail mowers are equipped with Y-type blades, which can be replaced with 0.40 kg hammers. Mowers of this type will cope when mowing wasteland, roadsides, recreational areas, equally well suited for eliminating small bumps or molehills. This equipment is also suitable for the care of meadows, pastures, or cleaning work in orchards. The advantage of flail mowers EF lightweight is the design, which allows work in built-up areas - all thanks to a significant reduction in the fall of stones from under the device. Another advantage is the low cost of purchase - at Traktor.com.pl there are models available for prices starting from PLN 3,890.
• EFG medium - equipment in this category can perform several jobs simultaneously. EFG medium flail mowers are suitable not only for cutting grass, but also shrubs, woody weeds, or twigs. The machines have a double protection against transmission damage - the hammers bounce off a stable obstacle. Another advantage is the drive transmitted by V-belts, which slip if there is too much resistance. EGF mowers can easily cope with neglected terrain, where there are more branches, stones or other similar obstacles. Like EF light flail mowers, EFG medium equipment also mulches vegetation, fertilizing the soil. The machines are available in two variants - EFG medium flail mowers equipped with hammers and EFG medium flail mowers equipped with Y-blades. This is a good choice for working on all kinds of wasteland, the equipment will also cope with mowing green areas in parks, roadsides, green areas in cities and beyond, it will be good for cultivating meadows and pastures, recreational areas of scrub for cleaning purposes. EFG medium flail mowers are also used as cleaning machines in the orchard and nursery industry.
• EFGC heavy - these are flail mowers with robust construction and higher power, adapted for use with tractors with higher horsepower. The equipment will prove useful for mowing and cultivating meadows, pastures and wastelands of various types, roadsides, recreational areas, or the elimination of small irregularities and molehills, coping equally well in both undeveloped and built-up areas (thanks to a fairly high reduction in the fall of stones from under the machine). EFGC flail mowers mulch the swath and are equipped with 0.80 kg hammers, which can be replaced with Y-type blades.
• EFGCH heavy sliding - these are flail mowers adapted for mowing areas with a large amount of brush and weeds, wasteland, or roadsides. The equipment is equipped with a hydraulic shift, which allows for precise operation of the machine. This type of mower will cope with the terrain where there are obstacles such as stones or branches, easily overcoming hard-to-reach places, such as between trees, under treetops, or under fences. The distinguishing feature of EFGCH heavy-duty sliding flail mowers is a strong construction and a special stabilizing system, which contributes to long-term, trouble-free use. This type of equipment is equipped with an arched mounting and stronger bearings, as well as robust flails that ensure precise mulching of both tall grass and weeds or branches.
• AG double-sided heavy-duty - this is equipment with high processing power and strong construction, so it is ideal for difficult terrain. Flail mowers in this series are suitable for meadows, pastures, recreational areas and wastelands. AG double-sided heavy-duty mowers are equipped with a special working shaft with solid flails, which thoroughly shred the swath and pieces of branches, thanks to the appropriate design, the equipment can easily cope with areas where there is a lot of weeds, branches, stones or other such obstacles. Machines of this type are compatible with tractors with greater power.
• DP/DPH heavy-duty - is equipment for specific applications, such as cleaning up the land after vine cultivation, cleaning up neglected wastelands, roadsides, or farm bypasses. DP/DPH flail mowers thoroughly shred shrub branches and tall, dense grass. Thanks to the working shaft with massive flails, the equipment guarantees precise mulching of the swath. Flail mowers of this type are characterized by high power, high efficiency and a large cutting width, even over 200 cm. Due to their dimensions, the machines are adapted for use with tractors with a power of not less than 70 hp.
• EFD/EFDH open discharge - these are flail mowers created for mowing wasteland, weedy crops, meadows and fields after crops. The equipment is equipped with an opening flap for convenient spreading of mowed, mulched material. Thanks to the power of the mowers in this series, they can be used on areas of considerable size. The beaters with which EFD/EFDH equipment is equipped can operate at a frequency of more than 3,000 revolutions per minute. The machines are equipped with two shafts - a working shaft with flails and a copying shaft, which is responsible for keeping the equipment at the right height, allowing the mowing height to be adjusted. Due to the massiveness of the equipment and higher horsepower, EFD/EFDH flail mowers are adapted for use with tractors of not less than 70 hp.
• AGF/AGL/AGH rear-side - the equipment works with mini tractors or tractors, and is adapted to work on difficult terrain. As a result, flail mowers of this type can be used for mowing wasteland next to busy roads, the edges of ponds, or narrow alleys in the orchard. In addition to mowing and mulching tall grass, AGF/AGL/AGH rear-side mowers can handle cutting woody weeds, branches, or shrubs. Powerful cutting flails combined with the option to adjust the extension and tilt make this type of flail mowers guarantee efficient and effective work, proving themselves on demanding terrain. An additional advantage is the limitation of the ejection of cuttings, so the equipment can be safely used also in urban and busy spaces.

Traktor.com.pl also offers EFM/FLM flail mower models with manual override and FCN flail mowers with basket from brands such as 4FARMER, Geograss, and TRX.

Flail mowers are equipment that performs several activities simultaneously. It is a variation of the rotary mower, but the most significant difference, and therefore the main advantage of this type of equipment, is that during operation, flail mowers not only cut, but also mulch the swath, thereby creating a natural fertilizer to nourish and strengthen the soil. Flail mowers can handle both tall grass and woody weeds, twigs, or shrubs very well. A large number of flails, i.e. hammers that rotate vertically, makes the equipment suitable for work in difficult conditions, such as wasteland, and in addition, it is durable - flails do not blunt and do not lose their properties. Mowers of this type can be successfully used for mulching plant residues generated during field work (e.g. corn straw, straw, sunflower, manure, tallow), orchard and vineyard work (grasses, branches, vines), plant residues from municipal areas (by roadsides, tracks, watercourses, embankments, or infrastructure facilities), or for clearing meadows and pastures.

When choosing a flail mower, it is important to match the model to your specific needs, i.e. the specifics of the job site, the equipment with which the mower is to work, and the terrain on which the equipment is to mow and mulch. Flail machines can be divided into several categories:

• type of drive: we can distinguish between mechanical flail mowers, driven from the tractor's PTO, hydraulic ones working with excavators and special vehicles
• type of cutting tools: flail mowers can be equipped with powerful flails, i.e. heavy hammers, Y-type knives or knives on suspenders
• type of mounting and location of the working head: front, rear-side, side, boom
• the power of the tractor: lightweight flail mowers work with mini-tractors with power as low as 10 hp, heavier equipment with a larger working width, adapted to work on more difficult terrain will require more power. Flail mowers of this type are compatible with tractors up to 300 hp
