Turning with a flail mower

[imarobot]

I purchased a Del Morino Super 158 last fall. I bought it to mow fields with tall grass that only get mowed at the end of the season; well, that and because I wanted one. I am very pleased with how it works for this; and that I satisfied my "need" for this.
I currently use a 3-point FDR2584 finish mower to mow the lawn around my house, about 2 acres, and am thinking about using the flail mower instead and selling the finish mower.
The thing is, in smaller areas with tighter turns I noticed that I have to lift the flail mower so that I not dragging that big heavy roller on the back of the mower across the ground and digging up the ground, then back up, lower it and cut the turn area. With the finish mower, this of course is not an issue. I would be making more tighter turns on the lawn than in the fields.
Is this the nature of the flail mower beast, or is there a way to make smaller turns and cut at the same time?
This would allow me to sell the finish mower and buy another implement I want, no need!

I'm sure your finish mower has caster wheels on all four corners, correct? Now imagine if the flail mower had four casters! That is what would need to be done.

All you need to do is lift it just slightly.
To run a flail efficiently the rear roller shouldn't run on the ground all the time anyways.

You can put some idler wheels on the back of the flail to make it mow like a push mower.
