It is much more effective than my finishing mower

The WFL175 mower is working well - I am not a heavy user but I have had no issues with it at all. It works on fairly thick paddock and longish field grass (some had not been cut for over a year). It is much more effective than my finishing mower that struggled with longer field grass and brushwood. I am using the mower with a vintage MF35X and it has no problem running it.

Value for money is excellent

Very pleased with the machine. The flail has been an great purchase, cutting through some very long and thick meadows and grass areas. Flail munches up the cuttings well so not too much debris left to collect. Value for money is excellent.

Flail mower has been excellent

Flail mower has been excellent. We use it all regularly to cut paddocks and to help cut up hedge trimmings. I give it 5/5. I guess I would now buy the version which allows for offset but its not limiting my use.

Reply from the Zaros Team:

Thank you for your feedback, Geoff. The hydraulic offset WHF version of your flail mower will give you roughly 30cm more cut on the right-hand side. Fortunately for those with the fixed-position WFL model, it has a built-in offset as standard. This is due to the mower being central behind your tractor while having the belt drive on the left-hand side.

I would highly recommend the Winton flail mower

I’ve been very impressed with this Winton flail mower. It was very easy to attach to my old Fordson tractor, there was enough adjustment of mountings on the mower body to accommodate the wider hydraulic lift arms. The cutting blades are very robust and easily cut the toughest brambles and weeds as well as the grass in the 3 acre apple orchard and 6 acre adjacent field. It’s also very easy to clean and maintain. I used a rotary topper before this machine and was always having issues with it. I would highly recommend the Winton flail mower to anyone cutting a large area of grass that’s too long for a standard “ride-on”. I would rate this machine 5 out of 5!

Just had our Flail Topper delivered. I used it for approximately 2.5 hours chomping through heavy grass & thistles some higher than the tractor! The expression "Knife through butter" comes to mind explaining the new Topper. Money well spent too, and it goes with the Massey Ferguson Red too.

Overall a nice piece of heavy duty kit

Overall a nice piece of heavy duty kit with a few minor limitations. Can cut virtually any length** or type of grass / pasture. Ideal for tidying up woodland floor, removing brambles, generating paths. Can produce a near bowling green finish on lawns if required. Works best in dry conditions. Damp or wet grass cuttings will wrap around roller bearings and seize roller if not removed frequently. Scraper bar attached to roller largely ineffective. Always worth checking and cleaning roller and hammer blades after each use. ** a 2 foot cut easily achieved in two or three stages using tractor hydraulic lift. I would presently rate this machine 4 out of 5 but please note if the irritating problem with damp grass build up around roller bearings during operation can be solved I would give the Flail a 5 out of 5 rating.

Reply from the Zaros Team:

Hi Gerald, thank you for your detailed feedback. While the WFL series of mowers can tackle pretty much any vegetation (wet or dry), exceedingly long, wet grass is the most difficult for it. The 2-foot grass you've been cutting is challenging for any machine, especially in the wet. We're glad you've tackled this by occasionally removing trapped grass. It is always easiest on a mower to cut in the dry. But for anything woodier than grass, or for grass that's regularly cut, wet conditions should not be a problem.

I am pleased with the WFL145 as it works well and seems good value

I am pleased with the WFL145 as it works well and seems good value. On the last outing however the drive belt burnt out which took me by surprise. Oil levels were fine so I'm not sure if it's down to me checking tension etc or something that I could expect. If that had not happened I would have given it a 5, since it did happen it's a 4.

Reply from the Zaros Team:

Thank you for your feedback. The tension of the belts should be checked over time as they slowly stretch. After over a year of use, they will become looser and may burn out if not adjusted accordingly. The adjustment is simple and is performed via a single bolt that can be tightened/loosened with an everyday spanner. To check the tightness of the belts is within the correct range, hold the belt between the two pulleys and try to twist the belt. It should turn roughly 90 degrees. If you cannot twist it, it's too tight, and if you can exceed 90 degrees, it's too loose.

It is a super bit of kit that cuts through the roughest of grass

I bought my Winton Flail Mower about 2 years ago and can say it is a super bit of kit that cuts through the roughest of grass, bramble and other such vegetation with ease. However, it is also suitable for use on grass where a lighter cut and finish is required.

Build quality is excellent, it does the job brilliantly

I was hesitant in purchasing our Winton topper as it was an unknown make to me and the price seemed too good. But there was no need, from the moment we unpacked it we were pleased, build quality is excellent, it does the job brilliantly, I have abused it and done some tough jobs, scrub clearance and it has copped well. Was also very please to find that parts are available, something which I think we should be made more aware of as it gives confidence in the product, if there is a parts manual included I always feel better about a product. 5 star topper - Thank you

It gives a great cut and smashes down brambles and overgrowth very well

I have been very pleased with my Winton WFL175 1.75m PTO Flail Mower, it gives a great cut and smashes down brambles and overgrowth very well. It also gives me a nice finish on the field grass. My original tractor I think was slightly underpowered for it if I was going uphill with longer grass - Very Old Fordson Major :) I now have a slightly bigger tractor with suitable HP and it is great.

It has done the job of topping my 6 acre paddock several times a year

Yes, the Winton WFL175 has been a success, it has done the job of topping my 6 acre paddock several times a year. I would certainly recommend it. It still looks as good as new, with no rust or paint chipping. I would rate it 4 out of 5. My main criticism is that the gearbox oil filler plug can only be accessed after removing the PTO guard, and the topper has to be unhitched to do so. This does not encourage checking of the oil level! The machine would also be better still if it could be set a bit higher for long grass. I use a Kubota L3200 tractor but would probably not recommend anything much less than that for a paddock.

The mower works well and I have no complaints

The mower works well and I have no complaints. I bought it to tidy up an area of rough tussocky grass land. Before I bought it I asked if my (newish Kubota)25 horsepower tractor would be adequate as a power source. I was assured it should be. Not really. This is not a complaint but I would suggest you tell prospective customers that 35 hp would be better. I just have to mow more frequently and/or take lighter cuts.

Reply from the Zaros Team:

Thank you for your detailed feedback; I'm sure this will help future customers. I've looked through our 3-year-old conversations and seen a few questions, but nothing regarding tractor power or what you are cutting. Regardless, in this case, the WFL125 would have been the more suitable machine for this type of hard use if you aren't cutting regularly. 25hp is well suited to powering the WFL145 during, as you say, frequent/light cuts. For the harder vegetation, a slower forward speed is recommended to allow the mower time to cut. Tussock grass is a tough one for any machine to tackle, as it grows in incredibly dense mounds, but I'm glad that you've been able to keep on top of it by cutting more regularly.
