DescriptionWhy buy the Winton W‑FB145 Flail Mower?
The W-FB145 is the largest of Winton's three W-FB flail mowers and sits at the top of the range. It's aimed at smallholders with bigger paddocks and a compact tractor with the power to pull a wider cut.
Built for rough pasture, not lawns
24 hammer-style blades ride a cylindrical rotor, chopping brambles, nettles and tussocky grass into finer cuttings that rot down faster. The mower handles uneven ground better than a finish mower or topper, and suits paddocks between livestock rotations or field margins gone wild.
Set the height, keep the scalp off
Twin height-adjustable skids set cutting height between 3 and 8 cm. The rear roller adjusts in the same range and works with the top link to fine-tune the mower's angle across lumpy ground.
Fit and drive
The W-FB145 mounts to a Cat 1 three-point linkage, with a lower linkage width of 49–69 cm. Power runs from the PTO through 3 drive belts to the rotor shaft — worth knowing, as belts are a service item over time.
- 1.45m working width — widest in the W-FB range, more ground per pass
- Matched to 25–40 HP compact tractors
- 24 hammer-style blades on a cylindrical rotor for brambles and tough growth
- Cutting height 3–8 cm via twin adjustable skids
- Adjustable rear roller pairs with the top link to set mower angle
- Belt drive from PTO with 3 drive belts to the rotor shaft
- 290 kg; lower linkage width 49–69 cm — check your tractor's lift capacity

Great service
Good price Great delivery
I’ve used this Flail to cut our 6.5 acres a couple of times now, if I leave it too long between cuts then some parts of the field have a type of grass/reed that will wrap around the flail and stall the mower burning out the belts very quickly - so attention when using is required! – I’ve hit multiple rocks and the mower has coped with these no problem. All in all 4 out of 5, very happy price vs. performance, just wish I got a wider one!
I have only used the flail a handful of times since I bought it but so far it seems to work very well. Having said that, it hasn’t been worked hard so time will tell but so far I think it is a good piece of equipment for a reasonable price.
Brad a great machine. I run it behind a vintage MF35X for maintaining our three paddocks and the road verge. Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Works and is easy to use
Very pleased with the purchase. Does what is stays on the tin - very good little mower.
Great company

It is very robust and well made
The customer service on this machine has been first rate - informative, communicative, always checking things are okay. The machine itself is excellent and has done everything I had hope it would - it is also very robust and well made.
Tested item tonight and wow that’s going to save me some time :-) Thank you
Just as advertised
Really pleased with the mower – it leaves a really nice clean cut even in heavy grass and we have done quite a few acres now – I think it is those nice heavy flails that give the clean cut and don’t stop at molehills and minor bumps.
I was using on Sunday, only short grass though, about 30-40 minutes, Blazing sun boiling hot and the little iseki never battered and eye, (would normally start to overheat within 30 minutes in half the heat with the woods rm48). Have to add surprisingly quiet and stable, with minimal vibration, very safe too, nothing flying out of it so good for around the greenhouses and polytunnels,
I would recommend the WFB125 flail mower to anybody, It's a fantastic bit of kit to have and easy to operate.
Has proved very effective cutting my lawn attached to a Ferguson TED20 I would rate it 5 out of 5. No problems as yet.
Excellent bit of kit for the price! Couldn’t have asked for better. Our fields are so uneven so really is needed.
Excellent service and an excellent bit…
Excellent service and an excellent bit of machinery for a fair price. We’re really helpful with the delivery as we had to unload near our track rather than at the property. All in all a seamless service.

Good and easy to deal with but wrong PTO shaft supplied, all sorted amicably.
Great service and a great value flail mower. Good prices and excellent delivery made a very smooth transaction. Flail mower was all set and ready to go so was cutting through thick brambles half an hour after delivery

I have been very pleased with both your level of service and the machine itself
I have been very pleased with both your level of service and the machine itself. It replaced a topper which had rusted out, and although it’s not as fast as that unit, it did cut very well if you went slowly over thick grasses. I would give it 5, as it would be unfair to compare it with a different product!
I've been very pleased with it
I've been very pleased with it. The mower part is excellent but I wonder about the the little stand; have to put a piece of wood under it to stop it sinking in soft ground. The spring on the prop shaft is quite strong and making fitting and detaching prop shaft a bit awkward but I do just have a mini Kubota tractor but all in all I'm happy
Thank you for your constructive feedback, Roderic. The stand is designed to keep the EFG stored at an easy-to-hitch angle when in storage. Usually storage will be in a barn or on hardstand where it works well, but I'm glad you've overcome the difficulties of storing on soft ground.
Great mower
This picture shows 4’ high brambles on the right and the swathe which has just been cut with one pass on the left.
Foton and flail mower earning it’s keep (see height of grass)
I am pleased to say the mower is working very well and I am very pleased with my purchase
Have to say what a cracking bit of kit it is. At first I thought it may be a bit big and heavy for the tractor, but no, picks it up swings it about with no problems, would benefit with a bit of weight on the front of the tractor but not necessary for my use. Very easy on the tractor wasn’t working hard (unlike the old woods rm48 about to be scrapped) leaves a very good finish with the hammers and possibly could rival some finishing mowers if done correctly. I am really pleased with the mower, Excellent quality
