3 Point Offset Flail Ditch Bank Mower 65" Reviews

4.7 Rating 47 Reviews

Trimming and maintaining banks, roadsides, ditches, and shorelines can be challenging. Thankfully, our bank mowers are built to efficiently handle overgrown grass on ditches and embankments.
Equipped with forged hammer flail blades, these mowers can cut and mulch material up to 3" in diameter in one pass. The finely shredded cuttings act as a fast-decomposing, micronutrient-rich fertilizer, nourishing your land. The trimmings drop directly to the ground, reducing debris. Plus, an adjustable rear roller provides precise cutting height control, ensuring a clean, even cut on uneven terrain.
The 48", 57", and 65" models are compatible with Category 1 tractors, offering a 65-degree up-and-down pivot and 90-degree vertical rotation for easy maneuvering. The 78" model, built for Category 2 tractors, pivots 90 degrees up and 49 degrees down, delivering a precise, clean cut every time.

“It slices, it dices, it mulches, (sorry no Julian fries. re title, yes look it up). One minor, could be better, while awaiting delivery, before you use the cutter, get replacement zeks and get two tube of good grease. I cut at a slower travel speed, than a bush hog, the reward is better finish cut and mulched including unwanted scrub, dropped branches and sapling gone and did I mention mulched....”

“While there are a few improvements that could be made the mower did its job quite well the biggest problem was that material after cutting had no means of discharging debris and clogging up the mower”

“The 65” is a large heavy piece of equipment. If you’re running this you have a fairly large piece of machinery to carry it. That being said your hydraulic cylinders are small for the typical flow produced by larger machines and it causes jumping and erratic movement. Flow restriction is needed to operate smoothly. Secondly. The take of stands are entirely too short for no reason. Pretty disappointed that I have to use blocks to take off the attachment”

“The shipment shows up in a box and requires minor assembly. It is boxed and protected pretty good. The parts are heavy enough I would recommend doing the assembly with 2 people. The mower is well built and uses heavy duty parts. Assembly instructions are ok but you can figure out pretty easy what needs to be done looking at the machine and the instructions. You will need 2 very large sockets if you don't already have them, oil for the gearbox, and grease for the fittings. Go ahead and browse the assembly manual online to make sure you have everything ready when the mower shows up. I had to order the sockets so it delayed the assembly by a day. The mower comes from the factory set in the "low" mowing position. I recommend changing it to the high setting until you use it and see what works best for you. Even in the high setting, it will cut the grass very close. It does have a very smooth clean cut which is very close to a "finish" mower style cut. Much better than a bush/brush hog mower. I read and watched reviews that said the hydraulics may act very quickly on some tractor models and you might need flow restrictors. That is true in my case. Even with an easy touch on the controls, the hydraulic movement is really quick so you have to pay attention. Not sure how this would affect all tractors if this was installed at the factory, but it should be something they consider. Not a major issue and not a deal breaker though, still highly rated. As far as limb / brush cutting, it does a decent job. It will take mulitple passes to clear bushes/brush when tilted to the upright position, but once you get the hang of it, it works ok. I have cut up to about 1.5" trees and bushes so far and it didn't even slow down. Not sure about much larger than that, but I would think it would do 2" no problem. Anything larger than 2" I would be afraid of damage to the mower but I could be wrong. Overall, it's a great machine at a good price and well built. I would by this brand again without hesitation. If I changed anything, I might have bought the next larger size instead of the 65" cut because I'm used to the 72" cut bush hog I have but that's not a knock on this machine at all, just personal preference.”
