[QUOTE="Wayne440, post: 122398, member: 15549"] Pressure matters- for instance at 21 GPM, 1500 PSI= 18 horsepower, 2000PSI=23 horsepower, 2500PSI, then 32 horsepower. All these are approximate calculations, but I'm sure you realize that a flail mower works differently with 18HP than with 32HP. If you do not have enough power, you won't be happy. I personally would not expect good performance from a flail on a standard flow machine unless cutting very light material. It probably isn't going to run over an overgrown fence line at walking speed. (I claim no expertise, others with more experience feel free to join in) [/QUOTE]
