    Rookie questions? L3010 HST

    Yeah, I'd be satisfied with that cut, and that grass. I have over 50% weeds.

    Rookie questions? L3010 HST

    Appreciate your opinion and others. I'm not doing a MMM based on what I've read here. Since there is not much/any brush the flail is going to be what I'm looking for. The right flail at a good price will be the challenge. A landscape rake should help too. Searching for a 72" rake that isn't to...

    Rookie questions? L3010 HST

    Yessir. I viewed your pics. The video I watched said what you said about raising it and cutting. It's just not a real clean cut but horses don't care and neither do I. There are no bushes or trees and I would pick up any beaches on the ground from the tree line. I sure do want to find good used...

    Watched a good Messick's video on the flail mower. Was impressed, except for the low 1-4" cut height. Thinking I may want to keep the grass taller. Still deciding.

    Rookie questions? L3010 HST

    Appreciate. Yep the mid-mount is kinda impractical. And I can back a rotary into a corner. 60" wide is probably right for this compact, agree? A flail has the blade on a rotating arm, correct? Where a rotary is on a spindle? Glad you mentioned 6-7 foot on the rake. Logic tells me if it's a bit...

    Rookie questions? L3010 HST

    Bought a 2002 L3010 HST, it has the LA 481 loader. Want some advice for implements for use on a flat, small 3 acre horse pasture. Tires are not filled. Which one, finish mower or brush hog? Size? The pasture is clogged with weeds (none that a finish mower couldn't handle) but I wonder how much...
