We have both types also. A 5ft Befco flail mower and a 5ft Howse brush hog that both do well behind the 8N. The flail does give a much nicer cut than the hog, however it doesn't do as well in very tall grass or branches. While the flail is capable of mowing very tall grass (5 ft tall grass is the tallest I've mowed), I don't recommend it. Due to the variety of conditions you may/will encounter from other people, I'd say the brush hog, due to all around usefulness. It will cut the tall/thick stuff, go over branches, small saplings, most anything. A downside is a poorer looking cut, however I assume that is not that big of a concern. Your best bet, if you can afford it, is to go with both. That way when the grass is tall you can use the hog, and when its short you can use the flail to give a nicer cut. But for one mower, I'd go with a brush hog. Kevin
