Powerful tracked flail mower with a physical workout
This tracked, self-propelled flail mower performs as advertised and handles tough clearing work. It cuts through 1-inch saplings without much trouble, though oak saplings require easing in at wide-open throttle. Large weeds and briers are no problem, and the tracks pull it up steep terrain. The main drawback is the physical demand: the upper levers for drive and blades and the lower levers for steering give the hands and arms a serious workout, especially grip strength. It remains manageable and worth buying for rough areas beyond a standard mower's ability.
