We have a Land Pride FM2572 flail mower available to borrow or rent, depending on what you will be using it for. The flail has a 72” cutting width with hammer knives and cutting height of 0-6”. A 42-80 HP tractor is needed to run the flail. This piece of equipment is especially well suited for terminating cover crops and prepping existing ground cover for no-till seeding with the PCD’s no-till drill.

Check out these videos highlighting flail mowing as a method to terminate cover crops and manage residue.
