15:15 going to explain the limitation of all flail mowers and brush hogs with swing tip blades...... they give way to resistance, the more resitance the more they give way and skip over rather than cut. this means you are either going to fast or chopping wood. by chopping wood i mean you let plants grow too long they became so thick you might as well call them brush because their stems got that thick. sometimes you can run, some times you have to crawl, and other times you have to creep....others you just walk speed. density and length physics. try running thru a hayfield, then try running thru pricker brush..... then you will understand, no pain, no gain.
Well I was cutting my field of grass and not brush, but your wisdom of folly intrigues me. The simple fact is that my tractor is better off with standard blades, but thanks for the wisdom.
Sounds like it's just the wrong tool for the job you're using it for. A finishing mower, like you have, is for mowing maintained pastures or lawn --not clearing brush, tall grass, and hay fields. You'd likely be better served by a rough-cut or brush mower for those jobs. The Meg-Mow and Cutlass style blades are meant for finish mowing: cutting maintained grass efficiently.
I just wanted to see if they would work better than standard blades, and I got my answer, but however they were fantastic for chopping up leaves and that’s what I’m going to use them for.
Yes, thanks for asking! I was in an accident a few years ago and damaged my lungs from a car fire and sometimes I get out of breath when I overheat myself.
