Going to look at a 6ft mott flail mower in the morning. I already know the mower needs new blades, looks rough, and has a few small rust holes. The guy has it hooked to a tractor to show how well it cuts. Asking price is $600.00

My questions:

What should I be looking for? Is this type mower better than a finish mower on uneven ground? Are parts easy to come by and where would I get them?
I will be pulling it for the time being with a farmall 400 but would like to pull it with my H once it is done.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I had one on a Farmall 200 with a fast hitch. It cut okay but the tractor didn't have enough power for heavy grass.

Anything you run over with it will be cut, it was especially good on heavy brush and small trees but doesn't give a real smooth cut on turf. Other than the occasional easily replaced bearing, I didn't have any trouble with it.

Alamo bought out Mott, think they made alot of mowers for Ford and IHC. I bought a 7 footer at a sale for 50 dollars that had an offset. It was too big for dads 30 horse Yanmar It pulled it good and mowed good but just heavy I gave it to my neighbor to fix up and use. I bought 2 more and sold them for 750 and 475 depending one the work they need. I think bulk prices on blades can be around .45 cents Per blade and on a six footer probably 120 to 130 blades.

I mowed with one for about 4 years hooked to a John Deere 50. Paid $200 to a guy who had used it to mow an air strip. It had a steel roller that helped keep yard smooth. Eats up moe hills. Sold it later at a sale for $55. Only thing that went bad was the gear box oil seal. It had finish blades on it. The mower works better on flat ground. Not a good ditch mower and a lot of blades to change. Not sure on parts availibility. I think they are built in Illinois.
