I believe the "reverse" flail mowers are intended to chop up brush and weeds, while the "standard" mowers are for finish work.

I have a Mott F6 flail mower and a brush hog, and I've learned not to use the flail mower in heavy brush. I usually lose several knifes any time I hit a stump. Also, you can damage the roller or shaft if you hit a big rock or stump. These parts are outrageously expensive to replace, so you don't want to take any chances.

I have bought parts from Montage Enterprises (link below). Although they are quite a bit cheaper than Alamo, the quality is definitely not as good.

My recommendation is to buy it if it looks to be in good condition. It's nice to have a flail mower for when you need a better finish than a brush hog will give you. The thing I like most about a flail mower is that it picks up the grass or weeds that your tractor tires flatten out. I think you get a better finish with a flail mower than any mower other than a reel type mower.
