Track and Flail

[Furniss]

Mate of mine just got a little flail on his 030 Kubota..... can the ability to track and flail be improved without it becoming a big job ?

No put simply imo. Trouble with flails and other similar attachments is that to be any use you have to buy one which uses maximum available aux flow and that leaves no or very little spare flow for anything else let alone tracking.

As gaz said, no. Unless you buy a menzi

Strap a beaver to it? Must have been done ..or something similar ?

Complete non starter, sorry.

Remember seeing something similar a few years back

You need a machine which has a dedicated auxiliary hydraulic pump so the flow is not shared with anything else, only the flail or other attachment.

Or possibly a priority valve. But spending thousands for still not much of a machine for cutting hedges or flailing banks

You’d need a 30l/min beaver at least. Even then not much cop. A 2.7t aux is around 50lpm but this dips considerably as soon as you move the arm let alone track.

Priority valves are fairly common on machines to begin with. When you look at the marketing side of machines there's all manner of different pump setups, single, twin, dedicated aux pumps etc. In reality max aux flow usually combines flows to a degree at the very least and thats without getting into pipe sizing and engine size.

 

[Furniss]

Priority valve is the one I was thinking of but at the end of the day there's only so much oil to go round.

 

[TiltyShaun]

As overs have all ready said. None!

In reality you soon get used to flail whatever you can reach then track on!

Short of an extra engine and pump with own cooler and oil tank mounted on rear or a trailer towed on dozer blade and long umbilical pipes no is the answer

Now then....mog?

Now then....mog?

Cradle that contains engine and pump that hooks over the dozer blade

He's got enough sticking out the back already without a load more at the front

Piece of piss got a deutz turbo with large pump and cooler ready to go

even got a dash board for it

First off, What flail are you running? We sell alot of flails and most times we can get them to track and cut at a decent pace.

That said Kubota is one of the worst for this, but if the flail is matched properly its doable
