Which is the best Flail Mower for Smallholders in 2024?

Which is the best compact tractor flail mower for smallholders in 2024?

For years, Oxdale has supplied and distributed Del Morino Flails and tractor implements. We believe that Del Morino flails, whilst being heavy-duty, are an excellent brand if you are looking for a flail mower for smallholders. Del Morino makes their machines, to the highest standard while keeping the machines as cost effective as possible. Del Morino has a state of the art CO2 neutral factory in Italy where they make all their tractor implements.  Oxdale noticed a gap in the market for a reasonably priced quality flail perfect for smallholders or people with a small amount of land who need to cut grass and keep things neat and tidy but can go through brambles and bushes without worrying about damaging the machine. This makes the Ginger and Disco one of the most versatile and cost-effective flails on the marketplace.
