| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses possible advantages and disadvantages to using flail mowers. Explains that "a flail mower uses banks of flails (or 'knives') instead of blades. A flail is a short piece of metal that operates by beating the grass (flailing it) and breaking it off." States that "highway mowing and bark maintenance crews often use flail mowers because they are less likely to throw objects during cutting." Also discusses flail operational safety. |
