Wessex Tractor Flail Mower Features and Benefits

Will these flail mowers cut through thick, dense material such as bracken, brambles and saplings?

Yes, they will noting the horsepower of the tractor must be sufficient and suited correctly to the flail mower. However we do not recommend the WFM125 model for heavy duty mowing. A minimum of 30HP is recommended but better a 30HP on the WFM145 or a 40HP on the WFM175 thus giving the maximum horsepower to the related model of flail mower.

What is the warranty period?

2-years manufacturers warranty from delivery of machine.

Is this a British product and how long have the Wessex mowers been around?

The Wessex mowers are British manufactured. Wessex Machinery have been supplying mowers and other groundcare machinery since 1962 (61 years now).
