Before and after bramble clearing

[clueless]

yeah the other problem i get with the big flail on the back of the tractor is that you go into something in reverse, as you dont know whats there, then you hit a big stone and because you are crawling you dont notice the stone pushing the mower up and in the end it bends the linkage. done it twice now. not happy. so i have stopped using the flail until i can clear the area first and lift the stone out.

by the way would you recommend a walk behind flail or rotary, if i were to hire one?

cheers

Flail is better as long as you can slow it to a crawl, crawling along with a flail is still faster than strimming with a steel cutting head

 

Plus the flail will mush any soft small deadwood, the rotary tends to lay bramble over rather than cut it so you have to make two passes in either different directions
