Flail Mowing Costs

[JamesO12]

Evening All, 

 

Just looking for some budget costs for flail mowing approx 5000m of rides and footpaths through a woodland access is pretty good and would guess a small excavator and flail would be the best course of action its mainly stingers and a few brambles that would need clearing there would be a  small amount that would need doing manual with brushcutter. Any ball park figures would be much appreciated as im unsure about what a approx cost would be for something of this size. 

Any Help much appreciated 

 

Thanks in advance

Look at Grillo brush cutters, ride on, fairly bombproof and we’ve got the awd drive version and it’s a weapon! Perfect for rides paths bankings etc [emoji106]

It depends whether it's an ongoing job or a one off job, ours tend to be ongoing so we hit them hard with a mulcher and make them mowable for a tractor and flail for the coming years. Nothing worse than beating up flail mowers on stumps and crap buried in brambles.

Hi there I run a 2.7 ton machine with flail head capable of demolishing stuff up to 40mm if I'm careful, as a rough idea I charge 30 per hour for that or 300 a day. Rob

Get some kids on quad bikes and charge them for a day whizzing around!
