A Flail Mower is a robust industrial and agricultural mower characterized by its unique cutting mechanism. Instead of a single horizontal blade, it employs a rotating drum to which numerous small, Y-shaped or hammer-like metal blades, called “flails,” are attached on hinges. As the drum spins at high speed, these flails extend outward, striking and shredding vegetation with a powerful, chopping action.

This design makes the mower exceptionally versatile and durable, capable of handling tough materials like thick brush, small saplings, and crop residues. The flails are retractable upon impact, offering superior protection against hidden obstacles like rocks. Furthermore, the contained cutting action shreds debris into fine mulch, making it ideal for roadside maintenance, orchard management, and rough terrain clearing with enhanced safety and a cleaner finish compared to rotary mowers.
