Overview
Baumalight's FM248 is a skid steer flail mower built in Canada and designed for clearing long grass, overgrown pasture, and light brush on acreages and along fence lines. Flail teeth shred rather than throw debris, making it safer for roadside and property-edge work than rotary cutters. Baumalight is based in Aylmer, Ontario, and distributes across Canada through a network of dealers. Multiple motor options are available to match your machine's hydraulic flow.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You mow ditches, roadsides, pastures, or acreage where contained discharge matters — flails don't throw rocks
- Golf courses, parks, municipal rights-of-way, or any site where flying debris risk is a concern
- You want a mulching cut rather than a raw-discharge mow — flails produce finer material
⛔ Skip if…
- Pure production speed is your goal and debris risk is low — a rotary cutter covers more ground per hour
- Heavy brush over 3 inches is your main vegetation — a brush cutter or mulcher handles that range better
🔍 Also consider…
- Rotary cutter for faster coverage on low-risk open land
- Brush mulcher for heavy overgrowth and woody vegetation
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect all flail hammers before every use — broken or missing hammers unbalance the rotor; a single missing hammer at high RPM creates destructive vibration
- Replace flail hammers in matched sets to maintain rotor balance — even one missing hammer causes vibration that damages drive motor bearings
- Grease rotor shaft bearing housings after every 8 hours of cutting
- Remove wrapped wire, twine, and root material from around the rotor shaft after every session — wrapped material cuts through shaft seals and causes bearing contamination
- Check the hydraulic motor case drain line for leakage after extended work in thick material — a restricted drain causes shaft seal failure and catastrophic motor damage
How to Connect
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Run rotor at idle for 20 seconds before engaging full speed
- Test stall protection if equipped
⚠ Safety NoteKeep bystanders 100m+ clear. Flying debris is serious risk.
