It's not supposed to do that?

What happens here

The presenter introduces the Maschio Giraffa 210 flail mower, emphasizing its offset articulating design attached to a TYM T1104 tractor. He demonstrates how the mower can articulate upwards and offset to the left/right, allowing it to mow hard-to-reach areas like pond banks or field edges. He explains the internal mechanism, including the main roller and the numerous "hammers" (blades) that pulverize vegetation. The presenter highlights the adjustable skids (top and bottom) that control the cutting height. He also briefly compares the flail mower to a rotary cutter (Tartar Farm and Ranch RC206 and Woods BB72X mentioned) for different applications, noting the flail mower's ability to create a "golf course" like finish and better handle rough material.

Goal: Understand the Maschio Giraffa 210 flail mower's design, articulating features, and compare its use cases with a rotary cutter.
