Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You're processing heavy brush, overgrown saplings, and thick vegetation that standard-flow flails can't handle
- Your machine has high-flow hydraulics and you want the productivity gain on large acreage or contract work
- You're doing reclamation, right-of-way clearing, or heavy vegetation management regularly
⛔ Skip if…
- Your machine is standard-flow — high-flow flails won't perform better and may overheat
- Light grass mowing is your primary use — a standard flail mower is simpler and less expensive
🔍 Also consider…
- Standard flail mower for light-to-medium vegetation on standard-flow machines
- Brush mulcher for woody material over 4 inches that high-flow flails still struggle with
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

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.
