I am looking to buy a 3 point flail mower to use for mowing tall cover crops of winter rye, oats, and sorghum sudangrass before tilling them into the soil. I have used a rotary brush mower in the past but I would like to switch to a flail mower so that the material will be chopped more finely and evenly distributed. I have been looking at Rhino, Landpride, Befco, and similar flail mowers.

Landpride offers a reverse rotation flail mower. Does anyone have experience using reverse rotation flail mowers - I am concerned that tall material which is laid down in the wheel tracks will not be picked up as well by a reverse rotation mower.

Thanks for your advice.

Chris
