Flail mowers require a lot more power to run in heavy stuff..but I like the job they do in pastures, and you don't have to "lap over" to do a good job... I would estimate that it takes at least 40 HP for a 6' flail, while you can get by with 30HP with a 6' Bush Hog... In light stuff you won't need as much power..

A bush hog type mower is like your lawn mower, has 1 or 2 blades swinging around, parallel to the ground. A Flail mower is a whole crap load of knives mounted to a drum of sorts, rotating perpendicular to the ground. Flail mowers are better for cutting long stuff, but they also work pretty good for finish mowing as well.

I'm sure someone has a picture of each one they can post.

Don,
You have described the flail mower properly. I just wanted to make it clear that a drum mower is not the same as a flail mower. Drum mowers cut the same as disc mowers.
