Slashing vs Flail Mowing: The Shocking Truth That Could Save Your Lawn!

The Role of Traditional Slashing

If you're not particularly concerned about achieving a pristine finish for your property in Southern Tasmania and just want to cut the grass down at minimal expense, slashing could be your go-to option.

Why Flail Mowing is the Future

However, if you're after a top-notch finish and additional perks (detailed below), flail mowing is far superior. Slashing is outdated tech that leaves you with unsightly windrows and large grass clumps. In contrast, flail mowing offers a cleaner, more appealing result and produces a fine mulch that adds nutrients back into the soil.

Visual Proof

The most compelling way to understand the difference is through visual comparisons.
The grass on the left was previously slashed. You can see huge clumps of cut grass that’s ugly and causes all sorts of issues for regeneration.

The grass on the right has been mulched with our flail mower. There are no windrows and the finish is awesome – as close to a lawn finish you’ll get on a first cut.

Why Our Equipment Stands Out

We've scoured the globe to find the ideal machinery for our Channel Slashing Solutions business. Our AGT Tractor and flail mower outperform most traditional tractor and slashing setups in several key areas.

Advantages of Our Flail Mower

The front-mounted flail ensures the tractor doesn't flatten the grass, allowing for better driver visibility and precision. This results in quicker mowing, lower client costs, and superior outcomes. The flail also mulches the grass into finer particles, aiding in quicker decomposition and a more visually pleasing result.  This also adds nutrients back into the soil.

Windrows: A Problem to Avoid

Note: Windrows are not just an eyesore; they can also lead to dead and discoloured patches on your land.

Special Features of Our Tractor

Our tractor comes with a unique hydraulic load-sharing function, providing enhanced stability and manoeuvrability. Tractors lacking this feature are prone to leaving wheel marks and often require multiple passes over the same area.

Our tractor is designed for challenging terrains and can handle slopes up to 40 degrees. It's also capable of dealing with woody weeds and saplings up to 6cm in diameter, making it ideal for property clean-ups and lantana removal.

Additional Benefits

The hydraulic function allows the flail mower to "float" over the terrain, reducing the risk of scalping and adapting to various ground conditions commonly found in Southern Tasmania.

The Final Word

If you're tired of the issues associated with slashing and desire the best possible finish for your property, don't hesitate to contact us.
