This flail mower and company have surpassed my expectations. The mower handles grass better than my old finish mower, yet can eat up saplings and brush easily. Ryan at customer service has always responded promptly to my questions and is top notch.

Well built machine, works great on my 4720 JD tractor. With sideshift, mows pond banks and ditches with ease. Mows through heavy brush with east. Assembly was reasonably easy considering my limited mechanical ability

I’m really pleased with the Victory FMHDH-86 Flail Mower. The 86″ cut is just a little wider than my tractor, so it cut my tractor tracks out. The quality of cut is almost as good as my Zero-Turn. So I’m using Flail Mower to some areas that I was using my Zero-Turn. Did I say I’m very pleased with the Victory FMHDH-86, it’s a great Flail Mower well built, and a very competitive price.

I am a very picky person and this flail mower very much passes my approval. It is built very beefy and should last a long time. It is for sure the most bang for the buck comparing to others. I dont mess around if I give a good review it is good.

I ordered their 48" flail mower. It is a nice unit, very happy with it. We had one issue right from the beginning however. The tilt cylinder would drift. Ryan with Victory was very responsive on the issue. He even sent me a second cylinder for free to try, in case the seals were leaking. Same issue. Long story short. Don't be an idiot. Make sure you tighten the hydraulic hoses with the crush washers. The drift was our fault. 5 stars for the product, 10 stars for the customer service.

I bought a flail mower from Victory last season and I am super impressed with the company and quality of the mower. The customer service is second to none as Ryan fixed 2 super minor issues. The mower has greatly surpassed my expectations and I will use Victory again in the future and recommend their Implements.

Great machine for cutting around orchard trees and cutting back brush from stone walls. Easy to adjust to cut above and around rocks. Cuts grass, roses, briars, and small brush cleanly.

Order to receiving the process went smoothly. The mower is well built. Used ditch bank mower couple of times it does great. Ryan at victory was very helpful. I emailed him and ask what the paint code was cause I had a few scratches. Not only did he send me the paint codes but also both colors of touch-up paint...for free! Wow I was going to buy some but that is customer service. I would buy from them again i have my eye on a rotary tiller.

Very good service in terms of shipping. The flail mower is very rugged. Used about 10 hours so far. It looks like it will last a long time. As good or better than name brands at 1/3 the cost.

Just received my 64 Heavy Duty Flail mower.1. They answered the phone when I called, and answered my questions.2. Shipped free, with good tracking along the way.3. Arrived on the date they estimated, with very little assembly.4. Great price.They were not my first choice, but out of the three I was considering they were the only ones to answer the phone right away and walk me through some details. The whole transaction was seamless. Glad I found them. I will buy from them again.

Very happy with my new Victory flail mower. I had a couple of minor fitment issues but nothing an angle grinder and a drill couldn't fix. This mower is a beast weighing in over 1,000 lbs. Very heavy duty. I couldn't be happier especially when it was half the price of the name brands. The guys at Victory picked up the phone every time I called and were eager to answer my questions. Thanks Victory !

Adjusted the blade clearance after a few jams. No problems now. Heavy built and chips 4 inch no problem. Would probably handle the 5 inch. Very satisfied.

The EMID-70 embankment mower arrived in a metal cage on a wood pallet. The mower and accessories arrived in good condition.The assembly was easy and straightforward. After assembly, all bolts and connections were verified tight and the gearbox was filled with 80W90 oil and all fittings greased. Hooking up to the tractor was made easy using the two parking stands that come with the unit. Once attached to the three point hitch the hydraulic hoses were connected using the hoses and fittings supplied. Once the hydraulic system was filled and the air bleed out it was time to work. The mower was ran for about 10 hours in all positions from 90 degrees up to 30 degrees down with no problems. After mowing the field the mower was used to trim the limbs that were encroching on the field.Suggestions for the shipping cage are add a middle bar between the upper and lower part of the cage and use locking bolts on the assembly as a few were loose or missing. The mower and accessories had shifted and fallen out and came on a wood pallet added bt the freight company.

Product came in very quickly. For the price I expected much less quality. Instead the quality seems really good and it does a great job in grass or brush. Very happy with it.

I bought an EMSD-56 Embankment Flail Mower Standard Duty. I pre-ordered it in February. This had to be one of the most difficult years ever as China still had a zero covid policy. As soon as the mower was set to ship the port of Shanghai closed for over 2 months so delivery could not be made as agreed. I was offered a refund or an additional discount at that time. I opted for the additional discount. It took a while but finally the mower made it's way to me and it works fine. What I can say is that the team at this business is totally fair and extremely trustworthy. I would use them again for another implement.

Purchase of Flail mower was simple, arrived in good condition and assembly was straight forward. The only issue was it was set up for Cat 2 rather than Cat 1 but that was handled quickly with a new set of pins which were mailed to me and arrived within 3 days. Mower has been used only once to mow about 2 acres and worked well

Just bought the emid-64. No assembly instructions included but got it done. I have used it for about 2 hours now. Very nice unit, cuts great, heavy duty with grease fittings on all moving points. Smooth operation and comes with flow control so no jerky operation. Great so far... I did find that on the website has a full manual including assembly instructions..

I purchased the BX42S wood chipper. Shipping was quick and well crated. I've used it now for over 15hrs and it works perfectly! I cleared woods for a motorcycle track and now I use this to clean up and help loosen up the soil with the mulch it creates. Well worth it!

Joe Buckingham

The BX42S wood chipper was received in early March. The unit was packaged in a heavy cage to help prevent shipping damage. After assembly I connected unit to my tractor and started using it. It has been able to handle any branches that I put into it up to about 4 1/2 inches. I would recommend this unit to anyone that needs a wood chipper.

Prompt delivery…Awesome EMSD-56 flail mower, Awesome Support.. Since I never owned a flail mower, I had questions regarding what turned out to be normal operational sounds, etc. I was reluctant to call, but I must say the person that answered the phone was very knowledgeable of the product and treated me with the the utmost respect and kindness.Mower works great and far exceeds expectations!!Thank You Victory Tractor for an Awesome Experience!!!

My BX42S has exceeded my expectations. Hooked up to my Kubota 26hp tractor it chips 5 inch pine without any problem. 5 inch hardwood goes in my wood stove so I have not tried that. Communication with the company is excellent. Thanks Victory!

I just recently purchased the MDWC1500 wood chipper from Victory Tractor for cleaning up around the overgrown fields of our farm, arrived on time, setup was easy, very well built and rugged chipper! It has no problem chipping 3inch diameter brush. What a great investment for cleaning up around the farm! It did come with a damaged drive belt but a phone call to my local auto parts store and they had the belt in stock. For the price I highly recommend this machine to any small farm/homeowner

It is a pleasure working with the staff at Victory. We purchased an offset flail mower from them several years ago for mowing the berms of our rail-trail and it is holding up well and does a nice job We needed to replace a lost tooth on the mower and got the replacement parts quickly.
