I've run the kubota one for years with no problems.

Unless things have changed recently the smaller Kuhn flails are bought in and stickered italian mowers despite dealer assurances that they made everything themselves. The flail I had delivered had noticeably poor build quality and it failed in the first half acre due to significantly misaligned drive belt pulleys.

 

Moral of the story is that the name isn't everything. You need to see it and check for yourself.

Does the tractor have a ground speed PTO?

You may struggle to power a flail on 21hp.

540,740 and 1000 rpm ,12speed shuttle box should be no problem for a Wee Flail .

we have a cheap Chinese one which came with the tractor it did its job well but has now retired to make way for a major 1.4 which was not cheap but does a good job and is very strong

I have a Bargam one and its been great, its one of the heavier ones that they do though.. Not sure what the lighter ones would be like, that said I can't fault the build quality.

I use a rytec 1.1 or 1.2 m on an iseki 21hp. If its long and matted it struggles. Its fine on the shorter grass and much quicker and more pleasurable than strimming.

 

A design shortfall on the rytec for me is the headstock puts the mower far away from the rear of this tractor making it longer to transport and light on steering.

I've used a dragone 1m and teagle/berti 1,2m. Both solid but the 1m dragone was nice and light for a smaller tractor

Any ones that will do brambles / smaller blackthorn on a fergy 35?
