The HTLS-185 Heavy Duty Rotary Tiller is built for 40–60 HP tractors with CAT I/II three-point hitch. It delivers a 73″ working width and a three-position, 4″–7″ working depth, giving you the bite and finish needed for seedbeds, orchards, vineyards, and food plots.

Unlike chain or belt designs, the HTLS uses a maintenance-free oil-bath gear transmission that turns a laser-balanced rotor at 270 RPM for smooth, torque-rich tilling in heavy soils. Under the 1/4″ steel hood, flanges spaced at 10″ carry six boron-steel blades each—54 blades total on the HTLS-185—individually replaceable or regrindable. The reinforced free-wheel Comer gearbox prevents back-driving when the PTO is disengaged, while the slip-clutch PTO protects your drivetrain.

Setup is quick: adjustable lower hitches align the tiller to your tractor track; the spring-controlled rear safety cover levels and firms the soil; and front safety curtains contain debris. The unit ships largely assembled in a wooden crate; bolt on the 3-point hitch and PTO guard and you’re ready to work.

Great built flail at a fair price. Victory is spot on with this torque series flails, they have absolutely no competition in the same price point or even several above. Use this attachment line clearing extreme duty cycle and through hundreds of hours we've yet to turn a wrench and we've just not had that in any flail mower out of the at least dozen we've ran over the past few years.

After much research into woodchippers for my 25 horse power tractor, I bought a Victory BX42S and am quite pleased with the results so far. The chipper has handled slash up to the advertised size without any problem. I am a little disappointed with its performance with willows and with very leafy slash. Both clogged-up the discharge chute too often. This shortcoming could be related to the low density altitude here in Idaho. Seasoned slash, on the other hand, glides through the woodchipper ease.

Well built flail mower I looked at several other brands but they were built from thinner material and or the price was way to high this one hit both marks with good build quality and good price shipping was good and customer service was great

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.

Unit very well built shipped as quoted and crated well.I like the design with the gearbox outside of the mower as it keeps the shaft less acute when offset.spiral shaft is a plus in regard to staying in balance broke one grease zirk Brass? all in all very happy!!

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..

Great people to deal with. I have the 78” flail mower and I love it. It gives a clean cut and runs smoothly.

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

17:53 26 Mar 22

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.

Dealing with Ryan B. of Victory Tractor Implements was a pleasure. Everything Ryan said was truthful and correct. Shipment was a breeze Ryan supplied me with the tracking info and I was able to see where and when I would receive my chipper. Thanks again Frank

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

I have the BCRL 145 on a 30 HP Kubota, I mow several banks around my property, and a walking trail around 72 acre field. best mower I ever used.

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.
