Having looked at the idea got to make sure you have the flow on the hydraulics to run it and the boom at same time !

I know that the plant higher people down the road from me, have had a nightmare with theirs. It keeps blowing oil like a fountain on a regular basis, apparently it requires a special regulator to govern the flow. They have given up and sold it on.

that should just be a case of the wrong size return lines. they are pretty simple pieces of kit but most little (cheaper ones especially) diggers havent got the guts to drive the flail and the arm at the same time.

Thanks your your thoughts and suggestions guys. Will look into the flail with a little more detail now.

 

cheers.

when i looked into it it seemed they had to be set up to your machine hired one from a firm the head kept slowing down every time you tracked or used the arm even though the machine could be used on a 3 ton machine and it was on a 5 ton from what i found out you need to change the prority flow to the Auxiliaries and not the tracks and arm

you can still track and slew while using the flail just a bit slower and when the fllail is off the machine you can use the excavator as normal if that makes any sense?

Saul Plant Hire in Looe, Cornwall is an expert on this matter; he has a number of flails (berti I think) on 360s from 1.5 ton upwards.... Sure he wouldn't mind you picking his brains... google his details...

This is something I've been thinking about for a while the price seems to be prohibitively expensive £2885 for a mower for my 1.6 ton Takeuchi! I'm not convinced there would be enough work for one locally.

 

What sort of work have you got lined up for it?

I thought about it for my 1.5 ton. Flow rate is good (same guts as two ton machine) but I'm sure it'd be more cost effective to use an FS550. You can buy three of them to one digger flail too, no transport costs etc. The other thing is that there's bugger all reach on a 1.5 ton

 

Fair play on the bigger digger flails though, they look handy.
