Description
Why buy the Winton WFL145 1.45m Tractor Flail Mower?
Several hammer style blades are mounted to the cylindrical rotor in a spiral layout. This action is most efficient and then creates finer cuttings. It is also better suited to uneven ground types than conventional rotary and topper mowers. The mower is also belt driven, there are 3 drive belts which give power to the blade rotor shaft.
This machine benefits from an adjustable rear roller, this can be adjusted up or down along with the tractor top link arm to change finish and cutting height. Then the rear roller helps to avoid blade scalping on uneven areas. The mower also benefits from 2 height adjustable skids to adjust the cutting height. It also helps to avoid the mower scalping and leave an even cut when mowing.
The implement can be attached to the 3 point linkage of a range of small or compact tractors.
Features:
• Robust heavy duty gearbox
• Spirally arranged blades for an efficient cut
• Height adjustable skids
• 3-8cm cutting height range
• Adjustable rear roller
• Heavy hammer flail blades
• Category 1 size linkage
IMPORTANT: We include a PTO shaft FREE of charge with all Winton Machines that require one.

Cutting Ability
High Density Vegetation
Winton flail mowers are designed to power through thick brambles, dense weeds, saplings and long grass. They can also leave a neat finish on regularly cut grass.
Performance
Professional Use
Professional-grade machines are built tough and use premium components. In additional to being exceptionally reliable, they achieve great results and are very efficient.
Chassis & Build

Gearbox

Winton gearboxes are heavy-duty and robustly made. They are highly reliable and significantly larger than other machines in their price bracket, allowing more power to be transferred through them.

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.
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!

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.
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.
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.

Zaros did all that I expected and the machine I ordered arrived quickly and in good order. On a purchase of this value I prefer to speak to someone. However my email questions were responded to very rapidly and fully. But for this and the delivery being made on a large lorry which could not negotiate my gateway (despite my request for a small vehicle) I would award 5stars.

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.
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.

Good quality mower sturdily built
Good quality mower sturdily built. Documentation is good with clear guide for pto shaft adjustment. Arrived within the stated delivery period on a truck that was able to deliver to rural Devon ( we requested ‘no articulated truck’ as it could not get to us and this was taken on board by the suppliers). Pleased with the kit and the service.

We spent all day Saturday cutting grass, and must say what a fantastic piece of kit. It left a perfect finish and did not miss anything, even in the rougher areas around the headland.
