Bar mower or Flail mower?

A flail mower or a bar mower need to be used on many types of ground. They share similar functions, but differ in certain details. Let’s find out about them in the paragraphs below.

1. Flail mower and bar mower: different uses

These two machines for taking care of the garden are quite different in many ways. A bar mower is used to mow a lawn. It leaves behind two rows of accumulated grass clippings, which the owner can then collect. 

A flail mower performs the same function as a bar mower, but the cut and shredded grass is immediately collected in a specific container, thus avoiding any additional work and leaving the lawn neat and tidy. 

Both of these machines, however, have a general disadvantage: the bar mower involves more tedious work and is ideal for those who enjoy looking after their lawn. By contrast, the flail mower (as already mentioned) has a more instant function as it picks up grass clippings, but the procedure is a little slower, as the machine has to do all the work.

2. Flail mower: with hammer blades or knife blades, what’s the difference?

The flail mower is a robust machine that is very easy to use. Consequently, many models are available on the market, with hammer blades or knife blades. So let’s see what the differences are between a flail mower with hammer blades and a flail mower with knife blades, and which one is best suited to needs. 

The flail mower with knife blades is a tool used for clearing green and wooded areas. This machine is specifically designed to deal with brambles, brushwood and small shrubs that have grown on wasteland. 

By contrast, a flail mower with hammer blades will stop at nothing, leaving behind shredded material that will then become fertilizer. 

Moreover, this kind of mower with hammer blades is more suitable for shredding cuttings and plant debris from pruning greenery.
