Thanks for the video, it's exactly what I was looking for! I'm debating between this or the FL1169S, but figured the FL1272S wasn't an option since it's for a Category 2 hitch (until watching this). How easy is it to use on a 4075r cab (essentially how easy is it to convert to a Category 1)? It would be on a 4075r set up similar to yours (4th & 5th, wheel spacers, filled tires, front end loader, etc.). I have rolling hills and hoping one of these models will really help with mowing around my ponds and into some harder to reach areas. I also have a 5m, so if it's easy enough to switch back and forth between Cat 1 and 2, then it could be an extra benefit. Thanks for your help.

Hey Boarderman, thanks for watching! It was a pretty easy swap for Jason to use this flail. Sounds like you'd really be better off with that FL1272S for what you need to do. Glad we could help you out!

Hello, thank you for the only in depth video of this mower! Quick question, does this have a way to lock it in its upright position for a transport mode?

[@papemachinery.agturf]

Thanks for watching, Aaron! Glad you found the video helpful. YES, this flail comes with pins to lock it upright during transport.

@@papemachinery.agturf Thank you very much for the information, that helps me a lot with picking between this one or the 63” model. I need to look into a few more things on both, but this has helped a lot. Have a great day.

Would love to see you mow it at vertical 90 to see how it handles fence rows. I would justify the money if it would mow both fence lines and grass.

We'll see if we can grab some footage of that for you, Brian! Thanks for watching!
