First play with the flail mower, pig of a job fitting it on at first, but got the knack now.

 

It has a safety device that turns off the flail when you lift it up, there is a trick to override apparently so you can lower it on to brambles etc.

 

@kevinjohnsonmbe is the MO guru on here, care to share it Kevin?

Guru? Goon more likely!! :S

 

I just think my flail is an older model that predates this wholly unnecessary, unreasonable and illogical H&S nonsense! I haven’t done any mods that allow it to work whilst elevated, it just does. There was some discussion about this a while back (not sure if here or FB) I seem to remember Steve H had an input / suggested solution. FWIW, to NOT have the use while elevated would be to seriously restrict the attachment capability. So long as the head is tilted away from the cab, I flail to see that elevated use might present a hazard to operator. 

 

PS. I did get caught out with the lift cut out switch on the mower attachment. Was trying to get used to fitting and firing it up before going out to first job so was trying it out in the yard. Because of the granite chip I had it off the ground - couldn’t work out why it wasn’t working, until I realised it had to be on the ground and self supporting. 

 

Definately a goon moment!
