Flail head for u48

[Fms1]

Afternoon all, first post after stalking for a few weeks
would like to know if anyone on here runs a flail on a 5 tonner, and if so what is best/reliable
thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum.

A Femac T5 105 would be what you want on that machine.
I sell them if you would like one

Would be interested in a quote for one!

The T5 105 is £3200 complete with head bracket and hoses plus vat and delivery. This one is fitted to a 5 tonne to give you an idea of it.

The Femac flails are good gear, I’m pleased with mine!

Ive been running a femac te80 revForestal on a Volvo ec55c for the last 18months or so and am very happy with it
the Forestal range are the heavier duty range

I have been told the drum flails are more versatile but also know you need the hydraulic power to drive them, not sure if the 48 has that?

Mine is a T9FR105 Forestall and I also run it on a 2.7 tonne Bobcat (as well as more usually on a 6 tonne Takeuchi). I spec’d it with a piston motor which probably helps.
In reality it is a bit too much for the Bobcat (particularly weight-wise, you need to be sensible) but I’d imagine a 4-5 tonner would be fine with it.

What sort of money is that spec? I have a u27 aswell and would be useful if it did the occasional bit with that

The Little Bobcat is bound to know the T9 is on it Even the TB260 is bound to feel it! How do you find it on the 6 ton?

A T9 Read to go will be About £6500, maybe a bit less!

It really depends on what you want to use it for! Full time ground clearance work or the occasional use. If just general use then the T5 would certainly be the better bet to run between the two machines.

Hope this helps,
Aiden

Buy from Aiden - his price for my spec is better than I paid!!!

I believe they do one with a 60cm cut which may be ok
I paid £4500 plus vat for mine but i got a good deal at a show and from memory they were more like £5500 plus vat
