3 Point 4 inch Flail Mower, PTO Powered 25-45HP Mowing Attachment for Category 1 Tract/ors, LFP47 Pro Series

How big can a flail mower cut?

Flail mowers come in various working widths, typically ranging from 40 to 90 inches. The 47 inch flail mower is a compact and efficient size for small to mid-sized plots, especially useful in ditch banks, fence lines, and narrow areas where larger machines can’t maneuver easily.

What size flail mower for 25 HP tractor?

For a 25 HP tractor, you’ll want to stick with a flail mower no wider than 50 inches. The LFP47 is a perfect match—it’s light enough to run smoothly while still offering strong cutting performance. It’s also quick hitch compatible category 1, so mounting it is fast and hassle-free.

What size trees can a flail mower cut?

Flail mowers aren't meant for full-sized trees but can handle saplings and woody brush up to about 1 inch thick. Models like the LFP47 use slicing blades or hammer blades that are ideal for light brush, multi purpose capability, and dense grass—not large trunks. For thicker brush, consider a D Series or heavy-duty offset flail mower.

How much horsepower does it take to run a flail mower?

Most flail mowers require between 20–85 HP depending on size. The LFP47 runs great on tractors with 25–45 HP, using a PTO free wheel system to protect the gearbox and reduces wear during sudden stops. This makes it reliable for long-term use on small acreage.

Which is better rotary cutter or flail mower?

A flail mower provides a finer, safer, and more uniform cut—perfect for pastures, trails, and uneven terrain. Compared to rotary cutters, flails are more versatile. For example, SLE Series flail mowers offer better mulching and safety when mowing near roads or livestock. Flails also typically feature tool blade change systems, making maintenance simpler.

How to Choose a 3-Point Flail Mower

When choosing the right flail mower for your needs:

Know Your Tractor’s Power

Always match mower specs with your tractor’s horsepower. A 3 point mower like the LFP47 is perfect for 25–45 HP and is fully compatible with cv pto shaft systems. It delivers strong performance without overloading smaller tractors.

Pick the Right Cutting Width

For small lots, orchards, or hobby farms, the 47 inch flail mower balances maneuverability and performance. It’s especially effective in tight areas where larger rotary mowers can't fit. For broader fields, consider pre owned models or larger D series options.

Focus on Durability & Features

Look for machines with hardened blades, mounting adjustable working height, rotor thickness, and heavy-duty components like bevel spiral gears for quiet, long-lasting performance. The LFP47 also shreds grass and light brush efficiently, leaving a clean, mulched finish.
