Orec Flail Mower | Tracked | Demonstration then Discussion

At 300 pounds with tracks, this 270cc, Honda powered, 3 forward, 1 reverse/neutral transmission, 2.2"-3.8" adjustable flail height machine, with 38 reversible flail blades that have breakoff bolts to minimize the chances of damage is a solid machine. Figure the worst that will happen is you need to replace blades or belts: everything else seemed solid (nice heavy gauge steel). We tried it, we poked, prodded it, pushed it and I brought a buddy in who does a lot of gardening to mess with it and short of it being a riding flail mower or track hoe, he was impressed. In short: he liked it, I liked it. Quality is there and if you have ever done major cutting, tracks are a must on slippery plant material. Pulls material into the flail instead of using a large spinning blade. It produced a fine mince and except for user error, performed as it should without problems. Enough power to drive the high flail count and high flail count made salsa out of everything. Took about 10 minutes for us to get a feel for it.
