Decided I want a flail mower. The ditch bank models look cool and attract me like a magnet. But is it the best choice for ME? I do have a couple of areas where this would be perfect, but I mow those maybe twice per year? (check that... cut with string trimmer) Heck one of them isn't even on my...

That is a very heavy mower. Says 2000lb tractor minimum for the 730 but it weighs over 1000lbs. Doesnt seem right. Have you tried calling their number and asking who might have inventory? 888-376-7027

Sorry... I attached it to the post above... https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachments/img_8050-jpeg.156700/

Great information. I am prone to lean several ways before making a decision.... Now that you guys have educated me on the options, I can see benefit both ways. Greg

assuming that is the correct kit. What else is required? I don’t see a shift lever in the image. I will take a photo.

like this one?

Is there an installation manual or video somewhere? What type valve do I need? Not sure a fully understand the options and how it impacts how I want to use it. Greg

I used to wish for a cab on my L3600 back in the hay field days... Tractor still runs good but pretty much everything else is worn out. It is relegated to bush hog duty most of the time. I would mow, Ted and rake with the 3600 and my father in law would show up with a Ford 9600 with a cab and...

Dang... I called two dealers and both told me $1000 in parts and $500 installed. I am sure I could install it. The $1000 threw me off. Maybe I am asking for the wrong parts at the dealer? I simply said I wanted to add a second remote to my L2501.

I have seen that in some videos. I run a 6' disc mower off the L3600 for more than a decade cutting hay with no issues. It stayed fixed in the extended position. Just raised up and down. Surely, a 48 to 55" wouldn't be much worse than that would it. I really don't want to buy one. I could...

I came up with $550 for the diverter and $1500 for the second valve installed.

The more I researched the summit diverter the more I like that idea. Typically not a cheapo but I am trying to find a way to a bank down the side of my driveway which will happen maybe 3 or 4 time per year. Hard to justify spending $5 grand for a mower and second rear remote.

thanks. Maybe an even dumber question. Is it possible to use the third function as a second remote? For example. Use the rear remote for offset on a ditch bank flail and third function for tilt? Greg

I can certainly cut it faster on a ZT but my back would be killing me. I currently mow a 4-1/2 acre field each week that used to be planted. So it is rough in some areas. Looks smooth until you try and fly across it on a ZT and you bounce out of the seat. Thinking about a finish or flail...

Considering a ditch / bank flail mower. However I only have one rear remote. It is possible to control both cylinders with some type of secondary shuttle valve or something else I am not aware of? Greg

Slightly off the topic but I am also considering a flail mower. One with the ditch / tilt feature. I have a L2501. Guessing I need to stay under a 60" on that as well? I have the rear remotes already. My thought was this. You can buy these direct from China. Same manufacture as Bestco and...

Not gonna lie... I am having a hard time getting used to the HST. I also have a L3600 I bought in 1995. it has the forward / reverse shuttle on the column. Right now, I prefer it over this HST but I will give it time. I bought it because I read so many people saying how they loved it. Very...

Hello, this is my first post on this forum. I have been lurking around some and thought this was a good active forum with a solid knowledge base. i tried searching but many of the answers I found were from old posts. Thought some new information might be available now. first… I just bought a...
