Flail mowers are known for being some of the best pieces of kit to have at your disposal as a smallholder. With their ability to make light work of most heavy vegetation and grass, their efficiency is what makes them a ‘must-have’ on any bit of land. They are also great bits of kit to add on to any compact tractor, making the compact even more useful. But of course, some flail mowers are better suited to compact tractors, so it’s important you do your research if this is your plan.
In this blog, we will outline 5 of the best flail mowers on the market, designed to be attached to compact tractors.
Here at Oxdale Products, we have been servicing the agricultural machinery industry for over 20 years, specialising in all machinery solutions for people running farms, smallholdings, paddocks and more. We have been official stockists of Del Morino flail mowers for quite some time now, so we know a thing or two about what makes a good flail.
If you have any questions about a specific flail before purchasing, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our expert team here at Oxdale.
A Flail mower is a piece of agricultural machinery designed to do the heavy cutting that a regular lawn mower may not be capable of. Unlike a flail topper, which is, as the name suggests, just cuts the top. They are typically used in areas where vegetation is considerably overgrown, to the point where a regular topper or lawn mower would not be able to cut through.
For more information on why you might need a flail mower for your smallholding, check out our blog.
With so many different flail mowers out there on the market, it’s easy to get hung up on trying to find the perfect flail. As far as we’re concerned here at Oxdale, we think the three manufacturers to focus your research on are Del Morino, Winton and Farm Master Pro. They are manufacturers we can personally vouch for, which means our customers can trust our opinion.
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.
The Del Morino Ginger Flail is the perfect flail for your compact or sub-compact tractor. Available as a 1.06 or 1.25, the ginger has you covered for an affordable, well-made flail. The Ginger is perfect for cutting grass and weeds.

If you are looking for a heavier-duty flail which is available in bigger sizes, the Disco is for you. The disco has a few added features that the Ginger doesn’t. The Disco has an internal shredding blade and can also be fitted with a roller extension and heavy-duty skids, meaning this flail can take on even the toughest jobs. The disco can also be a straight pull behind the headstock or a semi-offset.
The Del Morino Disco Flail is the perfect flail for low-hp compact tractors with the build quality of a heavy-duty flail. Available in 1.45 and 1.65 overall sizes with the option of a straight behind or offset headstock. The disco has a large mulching chamber, which leaves a professional-looking finish. As well as being able to push through Brambles, bushes and woody weeds.
