Reviews & Questions

Customer support helped me confirm it’d fit my 30HP New Holland, which gave me confidence to order. Mower was delivered on a pallet and everything was there—no missing parts. I’ve used it on some uneven terrain and it held up fine. One bolt needed re-tightening after a few hours, but that was easy. Does what it promises.

Ordered the LFS53 during Farmry’s Father’s Day sale—perfect timing. I’ve bought from Farmry before, so I already knew their stuff is solid for the price. This mower seemed like a good match for my 25HP tractor. Still waiting on delivery, but based on past experience, I’m optimistic. Hoping it shows up in good shape and ready to work.

This mower has been a nice addition to our small farm. It’s light enough for my 22HP tractor but still clears thick grass without bogging down. I did notice some vibration at higher RPMs, but nothing too alarming. PTO shaft came included, which was great. Overall, it’s a solid value if you don’t need something heavy-duty.

TOP notch! Couldn't ask for a better flail mower at this price point! Blades are strong, and the gearbox doesn't struggle at all.

Functional and reliable for daily use, though setup can be a bit time-consuming. Worth the price for basic needs.

FAQs

How big can a flail mower cut?

Flail mowers come in a variety of working widths to match different tractor sizes and land management needs. A 53-inch flail mower offers excellent coverage for small farms, gardens, or narrow paths, especially where precision is more valuable than speed. This compact yet heavy duty mower is ideal for maintaining horse paddocks, clearing heavy grass, or managing tight terrain with a reliable rotor shaft design.

What size flail mower for a 30 HP tractor?

A 30 HP tractor pairs well with a flail mower between 45–60 inches in working width. The Farmry LFS53 is an optimal fit—it’s lightweight yet durable, featuring a rear roller for added stability and a Category 1 3-point hitch with PTO shaft compatibility. It efficiently tackles weeds, grass, and light brush using hammer blades, making it a versatile attachment for varied property maintenance.

What size flail mower for a 50 HP tractor?

While a 53-inch flail mower like the LFS53 can work on a 50 HP tractor, going larger—around 60 to 70 inches—will better match the power and increase efficiency. A wider, heavy duty flail mower helps cover more ground, improves weight distribution, and enhances cutting results in dense areas, especially when dealing with heavy grass or uneven terrain like horse paddocks.

Which is better: rotary cutter or flail mower?

Choosing between a rotary cutter and a flail mower depends on your land and usage. A flail mower offers greater precision, finer mulching, and safer operation—especially around fencing or rough ground. Unlike rotary mowers that spin large blades, flails use a rotor shaft with Y-blades or hammer blades to shred material more finely. This results in cleaner finishes and quicker decomposition while reducing the risk of flying debris.

Can you mow backwards with a flail mower?

Technically yes, but it's not advised. Mowing in reverse compromises cut quality and may strain the rotor shaft and hammer blades, especially in heavy duty or dense grass conditions. Forward motion, guided by the adjustable rear roller and side skids, ensures smoother operation, reduces vibration, and protects both the flail mower and the tractor’s PTO shaft from undue stress.
