Cut and Collect Flail Mower

Recommended Posts

I have recently bought a major 155 cut ad collect flail mower for a few areas on a local estate. 

It cuts ok however the problem is it doesnt pick up very well, the grass seems to block on the chute behind the flails between the flail and the collector box. 

Has anyone used one of these and got any tips? Currently thinking of cutting down the plate at the back of it so it doesnt catch so much. 

Sorry no photos today

Not used or worked on the major one specifically but I assume it’ll have a bunch of wind paddles  on the rotor to generate some air flow like all other flail collectors. Are these fitted? Did you purchase it second hand? 

Grab a picture of the rotor.

 

What tractor is it on? Enough HP and running at 540 not 540E?  If you aren’t getting enough RPM to the machine it won’t be spinning the flail fast enough to generate the air to flow the cut grass into the hopper.

Drive belts nice and tight?
