Anybody have this combination?
I am assuming a self-powered tow behind flail mower - not a rotary brush cutter. I need to chop up brush, not cut it off.
I have a walk behind two wheel "tractor" with a flail mower attachment, but it is a beast to maneuver and use, gets stuck easy and takes a lot of effort and time to mow acreage - I have spent the better part of a week using it in the past and still not getting everything mowed that I wanted to. So I want something that will be easier to use.
I know there were a few ATVs with a PTO (e.g., Yamaha) but I don't think they are made anymore and are hard to find. I want an 4x4 with independent suspension front and rear because my ground is rather rough, and I need to be able to handle inclines. I also need to be able to go slow, so a hi/low transmission/drive would be best IMO, also locking diffs.
Most of the dense brush is cut down and manageable now, so it is mostly tall soft grassy type vegetation that I need to mow, but there are some things like brambles and I want to keep the edges of dense brush cut back.
Feedback?
