An armed flail mower is a robust piece of agricultural and landscaping equipment designed to cut and manage various types of vegetation. It features multiple small blades, or flails, attached to a rotating drum. These flails swing outwards to cut grass, brush, and thick undergrowth effectively. Powered by a tractor's PTO or an independent engine, flail mowers are known for their durability, safety, and ability to finely chop mowed material, which can then decompose quickly.
