It came from approved hydraulics, from memory they are about 5k plus vat but I got a good deal from the apf last year 

Just out of interest, are you happy with how this performs/how your digger runs it? I’m seriously contemplating one of these but am torn between the 90cm and 110cm. I’d prefer the wider cut but don’t want to over-face the machine!

Yeah I’m pretty happy with it, you’ve obviously got to realise it’s limitations but I’d say it performs well. Obviously some things flail better than others. Black thorn it destroys where as willow being more stringy tends to leave longer bits 

I was torn between this and the serat head but I got such a good deal on the femac at the APF I couldn’t turn it down.

what size machine is it going on? Mines a 80cm flail on a 6 tonne machine

It’s going on a 6 tonne Takeuchi - apparently it has 100l/min oil flow so should (on paper at least) run any in this size range. My concern is it taking longer to recover the drum speed when working if running a larger/heavier rotor. I’m not concerned about the weight of the unit/machine stability, just the recovery lag between ‘bites’ if that makes sense? 

Willow is always a pain to mulch (it’s bad enough putting it through a not-razor-sharp chipper!).

Really useful pictures John.

 

Have you got any more?

I’d put the smaller head on personally, I honestly don’t think productivity wise a  slightly larger head will speed things up, it’s more likely to bog down in stuff. I’d go for the 80 on that machine

I am interested in getting something for my Hyundai R60CR-9, at the moment looking at the OSMA TFXL-UX and the Seppi Mini-BMS. The OSMA is coming out with Depth Control Rotor and the Seppi has a variable displacement motor, I am also considering what size would be best 85cm 105cm or 125cm? Another question is how do I tell the flow rate of my machine at different pressures and how does that relate to mulching? The specs on the Hyundai states Max flow 2 x 55L/min + 36.6L/min @ 2000 rpm? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
