Advantages of flail mowers
Due
to the mulching feature, flail mower is used to mulch and cut the leftover
after harvesting. Moreover, the leftovers are dropped back down on the land and
tilted & disked into the soil. They them act as fertilizer and compost. These
mower don’t pick up and scatter things on other sides while cutting. This is
because of the vertical spinning of the blades. This is a very good feature
when used in small space or used near buildings or objects or where there is
damage.
