Brush-Hound Skid Steer Flail Mower

Brush-Hound Flail Mowers and Flail Shredders are skid steer attachments designed for vegetation and material-management applications where a flail-style cutting system is preferred. The F-Series Grass Flail Mower is available in narrower working widths and is suited to grass and general vegetation mowing applications, while the FH-Series Flail Shredder provides wider configurations and a higher hydraulic flow range for more demanding shredding applications. Choosing the correct series depends on the vegetation, working width, and skid steer hydraulic specifications.

The supplied Brush-Hound range includes the F-Series Grass Flail Mower and FH-Series Flail Shredder. The F-Series is available in 48-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch working widths. The FH-Series is available in 60-inch, 72-inch, and 84-inch working widths. This gives customers multiple size options for matching the attachment to their skid steer and the amount of ground they need to cover per pass.

The hydraulic requirements differ between the two series. The Brush-Hound F-Series Grass Flail Mower is specified for 8–13 GPM, while the FH-Series Flail Shredder requires 16–40 GPM. Matching the attachment to the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow is essential for compatibility and proper operation. Customers should verify the actual auxiliary hydraulic flow available from their skid steer against the requirements of the selected Brush-Hound model before purchasing.

The primary differences in the supplied specifications are their intended application, working widths, and hydraulic flow requirements. The F-Series is identified as a Grass Flail Mower, with 48–72 inch widths and an 8–13 GPM requirement. The FH-Series is identified as a Flail Shredder, with 60–84 inch widths and a substantially higher 16–40 GPM hydraulic-flow range. Customers should select the series based on their vegetation-management needs and skid steer hydraulic capacity.

Consider the size of the area being maintained, available maneuvering space, and the capacity of the skid steer. The F-Series offers 48, 60, and 72 inch widths, while the FH-Series offers 60, 72, and 84 inch widths. A wider attachment can cover more ground in each pass, while a narrower configuration may be easier to maneuver in tighter areas. The selected width should also be compatible with the skid steer and the hydraulic requirements of that specific attachment.

First determine whether your application is better suited to the F-Series Grass Flail Mower or the FH-Series Flail Shredder. Then verify your skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow: the F-Series requires 8–13 GPM, whereas the FH-Series requires 16–40 GPM. Finally, select the appropriate working width—48–72 inches for the F-Series or 60–84 inches for the FH-Series—based on the work area and maneuverability requirements. Always confirm the complete specifications of the individual model and your skid steer's hydraulic configuration before ordering.
