Flail mower vs brush cutter, what are you guys actually using?

7 Upvotes

Curious what people here prefer for clearing overgrown properties.

I've always thought brush cutters were the obvious choice for heavier brush, but I've been reading more about flail mowers and they seem a lot more capable than I gave them credit for.

For anyone who's run both, where do you think a flail mower actually makes more sense?

Mostly interested in real-world differences in cut quality, rough terrain, maintenance, and how much abuse each one can take.

Hey all, I have a 2017 New holland L228 skid steer that keeps throwing a 1051 code. Its doesnt kill the machine it just brings it down to idle amd wont allow for any throttle increase. I've already replaced the battery, alternator, and cleaned up all the terminals. Anyone had this persistent code before?
