Most people think that all lawn mower attachments are similar, but in fact, there are many different types of lawn mowers for different situations, depending on the terrain, grass length, and cutting effect.
Now we will help you understand the differences and advantages of each of the two types of lawn mowers, so that you can choose a lawn mower that is more suitable for you according to your own situation.
Flail mowers work by using heavy flails mounted on a rotating shaft to chop up vegetation. These flails can withstand contact with rocks or tree roots, making flail mowers ideal for rugged and overgrown areas.
Typically, drum mowers have two counter-rotating drums that are driven by a gearbox above. Depending on the model, 3 or 4 free-swinging blades are attached to each disc. As the drum mower moves across the field, the drums rotate toward each other, causing the cut crop to pass between the drums and land in a pile behind the mower. They’re great for trimming long grass.
Compared with flail mowers, drum mowers are easier to operate and have lower maintenance costs, but they are less functional. If your needs are more diverse, a flail mower will be more suitable for you. If you just need a simple mowing machine, then a drum mower will make you very satisfied and its mowing effect is very good.
