How fast can you pull it??

My flail lets me travel 2X the speed of the same cutting with a rotary mower.

I guess it is because the grass is not mulched or "thrown' as much.

No idea how fast I can mow with it. The area I need it for is not golf course smooth and I don't feel like busting something. Besides that I'm old and slow anyway LOL.

Well I cut the area behind the house today that I would be happy if weeds would grow on with the flail mower. It did just what I wanted it to do, I'm a happy camper. I also cut most of the lawn with it, would not recomend it for regular cutting. The Haban does a better job for a decent lawn. If I can ever get some kind of green stuff to grow on the hill in the back of the house I'll sell the Bush Hog but for now it's a cool grass killer.

I wouldn't sell the bushhog, I kind of think the bushhog is tougher, and will last longer when you are cutting grass that got out of control.

A two week hiatus from mowing, and I would bet you will be looking for the 26HP cranked tool rather than 12HP!!

Gotta admit it will go through 12" plus tall wet grass and not even slow down. Yeah I'll probably keep it. It won't break the bank.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
