Grass flailing and cutting
Tackling the toughest growth!
At SJW Services we offer tractor-mounted flail cutting services. This method is ideal for maintaining larger areas, effectively tackling dense vegetation, long grass, and overgrown areas. Our equipment ensures a clean cut, promoting healthier regrowth and a tidier appearance for fields, verges, or paddocks.
Overview & Benefits
Tractor-mounted flail mowing is a powerful and versatile vegetation management solution ideal for large-scale properties, roadside verges, overgrown fields, and uneven terrain. Unlike traditional rotary mowers, flail mowers use a series of small blades (flails) attached to a rotating drum, delivering a clean, controlled cut even in challenging conditions.
​
1. Superior Safety
• Flails reduce the risk of debris being thrown, making it safer for roadside and public areas.
• Ideal for environments near pedestrians, vehicles, or livestock.
2. Robust Performance
• Cuts through thick vegetation, including woody material and overgrowth.
• Performs well on uneven ground, slopes, and ditches.
3. Clean Finish
• Leaves a mulched layer that decomposes naturally, improving soil health.
• Avoids scalping or tearing turf, preserving grass integrity.
4. Low Maintenance
• Mulching action reduces the need for debris removal.
5. Eco-Friendly
• Promotes natural decomposition of clippings.
• Reduces chemical weed control by managing invasive growth mechanically.
6. Cost-Effective for Large Areas
• High-efficiency coverage reduces labour time and fuel costs.
• Ideal for councils, farms, estates, and commercial landowners.
What Is Flail Mowing?
