  • Q What are rotary tillers used for?

    A Rotary tillers are agricultural machines that are used to break up and cultivate soil in preparation for planting crops. They have a set of rotating blades or tines that are powered by an engine, which turn over and mix the soil as the tiller is pulled or pushed along the ground.
  • Q What is a wood chipper used for?

    A A wood chipper is a machine used to break down branches, twigs, and other yard debris into smaller pieces or chips. These chips can be used for various purposes such as mulching, landscaping, composting, or fuel. Wood chippers are commonly used by landscapers, gardeners, and homeowners with large yards or wooded areas. They can be powered by electricity, gasoline, or diesel engines, and come in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate different needs.
  • Q Are wood chippers safe to use?

    A Wood chippers can be dangerous if not used properly. It's important to follow safety guidelines, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and maintain the equipment properly. Never put hands or feet near the chipper blades while they are in operation.
  • Q Can wood chippers handle all types of yard debris?

    A Wood chippers are designed to handle wood and tree debris, such as branches, twigs, and leaves. However, they may not be suitable for other types of yard waste, such as rocks, soil, and metal objects. It is important to read the manufacturer's instructions and specifications to ensure that the wood chipper is used safely and effectively.
  • Q How often do wood chipper blades need to be sharpened?

    A The frequency of sharpening wood chipper blades depends on the usage and type of wood being chipped. Generally, it is recommended to sharpen blades every 25 hours of use or once a year. However, blades may need to be sharpened more frequently if they become dull quickly due to heavy usage.
  • Q How much do wood chippers cost?

    A Wood chippers can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a small, electric model to tens of thousands of dollars for larger, professional-grade models with more advanced features.
  • Q What is the difference between a flail mower and a rotary mower?

    A The main difference between a flail mower and a rotary mower is the cutting mechanism. A rotary mower uses a single blade or set of blades that rotate horizontally at high speed, cutting grass and other vegetation as it comes into contact with the blades. A flail mower, on the other hand, uses multiple small blades or flails that are attached to a rotating drum. As the drum turns, the flails strike the vegetation, cutting it into small pieces. Flail mowers are generally more effective at cutting tough or dense vegetation and are better suited for uneven terrain or areas with debris, as the flails are less likely to become damaged by obstacles than rotary mower blades.
  • Q What size tractor do you need for a flail mower?

    A The size of tractor needed for a flail mower depends on several factors, including the size of the mower and the type of terrain being mowed. Generally, a tractor with at least 25 horsepower is needed for a small to medium-sized flail mower, while larger flail mowers may require tractors with 50 horsepower or more. It is important to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific mower you plan to use to ensure that your tractor is capable of operating it safely and efficiently. Additionally, consider the weight and stability of your tractor to ensure it can handle the weight of the mower and the rough terrain that may be encountered during mowing.
  • Q What should I consider before buying a flail mower?

    A Before buying a flail mower, consider the size and type of the area you will be mowing, the horsepower of your tractor or other equipment, the cutting width and height of the mower, and the quality and durability of the blades. Additionally, think about the frequency of use and maintenance requirements. Look for a mower with adjustable cutting height and multiple speed settings for versatility. Safety features such as guards to protect against debris and operator presence controls should also be taken into account. Finally, read reviews and compare prices to ensure you are getting a good value for your investment.
  • Q What blades are best with a flail mower?

    A The best blades for a flail mower depend on the vegetation you are cutting and the desired finish. Y-blades are the most common and are good for mulching grass, weeds, and light brush. Hammer blades are heavy-duty and better for thicker vegetation. T-blades give a clean finish and are used in sports fields and golf courses. J-blades are efficient at cutting grass and are used where a clean finish is not necessary. 
  • Q What material are the flail mower blades made out of?

    A Flail mower blades can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the manufacturer and the specific application. Common materials used for our flail mower blades include high-grade steel alloys, hardened steel, and hardened plastic composites.
