BCS/BERTA replacement hammers

[Matthew Arnold]

Our BCS 740 WS flail needs new hammers. The Y hammers were good but the back edge has been beaten to pieces from hitting large stone and clattering into its neighbour behind or the bracket. They are very well worn so need a new set for the summer. I have been trying to find "paddle" hammers to fit the Berta flail but all i can find is the standard Y head, T head and II head. The flail will be used for rights of way clearance, site work and verge cutting. I am thinking paddle hammers as they hold their edge better that the Y and T head. Any ideas?

Whats a paddle hammer? Is that like a boot flail?

 

I wonder if you will struggle to find anything substantial because of the power requirement.

 

Have you tried the Spaldings catalog see if there are any in there.

Yup basically a boot flail but with a slightly wider cutting edge.

Found and ordered the full set for both our Berta flail and new Trimax 155 flail deck as a spare set. Spoke to a chap at New Forest garden machinery and the "Gammaflail" the Triamx runs would fit our Yanmar powered Berta flail and would produce a finer finish.
