I have an old (40 years?) Mott 60" wide flail. It's been an excellent piece of equipment, but reaching it's last days I'm afraid. Lots of holes rusted through the body. The gearbox splines are very worn and lots of slop. Parts are probably NLA. No worries, I've had it almost 30 years so the $700 I paid for it has paid itself back countless times.
Does a much nicer job than a rotary. Mainly because every rotary I have used, when you get in heavy grass stops cutting it and just kind of swirls and balls it up leaving a ragged clumpy mess behind. Definitely uses up more HP in heavy cutting than a rotary.
I've worn out a few sets of flails. That's no fun when you have to buy a couple hundred at $1+ per blade. Originally it used 3/8" hardened clevis pins and cotter pins to hold the flails. I switched to using 3/8 grade 8 bolts and nyloc nuts because the cotter pins would get beat up and fall out then the clevis pin and blades went shortly after.
