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.

“So far, I'm very pleased with the mower. I have several situations where it's better suited for mowing than my rotary brush cutters. I've been mowing farm field ditches & banks with a 4' brush cutter mounted on a mini excavator but that proved a slow process because of mowing an arc and then repositioning the machine for another overlapping arc. With the Titan DB flail mower, I can make one continuous pass & control the cutting height much better. Assembly instructions were adequate but assembly required 2 people due to the weight of the subsemblies. The 65" mower is rated for a CAT I tractor up to 50 hp with 2 hydraulic remotes. None of my CAT I tractors have 2 remotes, so I am currently using the mower on a 40 hp CAT II utility tractor. To be honest, the weight and leverage of the 65" mower when fully extended is such that I'm quite comfortable with the heft of the small CAT II utility tractor & it's larger tires than most CAT I compact tractors, especially when mowing near the edge of steep banks.”

“Does what ads say . Takes a little getting used to operating as the pivot is in from the side a ways but works very well”

“Completely went threw mower, many bolts were loose, greased and used for 20 minutes on rock free hag field, check mower over only to find that rear roller bearings are already noisey, also lost several flails due to broken bolts, replaced all flail bolts with grade 8s and havent broken one since, cost me $130 in bolts and now i still have to find missing hammer flails in hay field or it will cost me more! I have same style mower but made by nova and never had a problem in 5 years”

“Delivery was fast and unit was in good condition even after the delivery driver dropped it out of the back of the truck! Assembled in quick order, lubricated the pins and filled the gear box put it to work! This thing is a beast and didn’t let me down on everything I put in front of it. I’m clearing 10 years of neglect and over growth around my property! Right now my only concern is tearing the Hydraulic hoses off the cylinders getting into the thick stuff it over all the unit is well built and I think it will last even with the tough work I’m going to put it through!”

“It comes in a wooden crate and fairly straight forward assembly. I cut with it for about 4 hours now around field edges and trails that have not been cut for years. It did a good job on anything I threw at it. Also cut some heavy grass stands with ease. I am running it on a JD2240 50 hp tractor single remote with a multiplier. I have not put restrictors on it but I can feather the hydraulics fine. I may add restrictors in the future. On that tractor you can’t even tell it’s an offset load. So far I am very pleased with the unit. The ID tag should be mounted somewhere towards the gearbox as the far end of the mower gets brushed on continually while mowing brush & scrub. I have some ponds that will need mowing soon so we will see how the units performs on those banks.”

“Well built and performs as expected with our compact JD. Hydraulics jerk and takes some finessing, but easily workable. Like other, used about 10 hours mowing ditch bankand had two blades come off from bolt coming out and had two other blades break completely off or severely damaged. Apparently hit a rok or something.”
