What is a flail mower? How do I decide if it's right for me?
What happens here
Before using the flail mower, ensure all lubrication points are greased. The host demonstrates greasing the two lubrication points on each side of the mower (one here and one there) and also the PTO shaft. He emphasizes the importance of lubricating a hidden grease fitting behind a plug on the cover housing the belt system. He uses a McNaught K40 Levergun grease gun with a quick-attach fitting for convenience, noting its effectiveness for hard-to-reach fittings by allowing hands-free pumping once attached.
Goal: Properly lubricate all moving parts of the flail mower for optimal performance and longevity.
