New kit - multione 7.3s

[richy_B]

Joined the mini loader club. 7.3s. Really pleased so far.
 
Thinking about more attachments. Anyone run a relatively heavy weight flail on one?

Saw this but not a lot of info on model or performance.

Sorry, I was definitely flailing horizontally when this was taken!

Have you used the side flail in the pic Richy or is it a screen grab?  There's a discussion about flails here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/864020940410560/?ref=bookmarks

Yes, thays me in the machine today. I have the side shift flail. So far I really like it, offers so much more usability compared to a standard in line flail. Major downside is it sticks out a lot (particularly a pain when transporting) and seems like it could unbalance you easily as full stretch if you hit a bump or dip.

I've got the front flail and have sometimes wished i'd got the side variant but I understand what you mention above.

Out again today - flail cut the grass path edges and 4m sides (a lot of dead elm and masses of ivy) of a 2km right of way. Side shift flail was a good tool for it, floor and sides without changing attachment. Nice to be able to cut the nearest side of the ditches with it as well. Didn't quite have enough reach across to the sides beyond the ditch but the path was far too narrow to get a full size tractor flail arm. Would have taken 2 guys with long reach hedge cutters a month! Very pleased with it.




Also managed to get the 7.3s on my gh94 plant trailer. No attachment but fits like a glove and feels pretty well balanced. Attachments in the back of the transit tipper or pickup. Going to try it like that for a while and see how it works out. I much prefer a small plant trailer to the big ifor flatbed.
