Thank you for your kind responses re flail mower, You're correct that a wee tractor would be best, but have some woodland which tractor would have problems getting through, my intention is to clear brambles and willowherb and plant wildflowers, its been a too much of a struggle with the strimmer. Pigs would be ideal, but as I wont live on site till next year, I couldnt be there to look after them, so, it's back to the original query if anyone has any experience of foreign made flails, which seem to be half the price of UK ones. Thank you
