Built for grass, shrub and sapling clearing, this excavator flail mower features a direct drive shaft, interchangeable Y-flail and hammer blade options and a rear chain safety guard for continuous roadside and property vegetation work.
Features
Rear chain safety guard
A chain curtain behind the rotor slows and contains material leaving the rear of the head, for working beside live traffic, fences and buildings.
Interchangeable/replaceable blade options
Two blade types on the same head: Y-flail blades for long grass and light growth, hammer flails for chipping saplings, bushes and shrubs. Both reverse for a second edge and replace when worn.

Built to fit the machine you run
Nothing here is an off-the-shelf pattern that you have to make work. Every unit is manufactured to your machine's tonnage, hitch and pin centres, so it bolts up to Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Volvo, CASE, Kubota, Yanmar and Takeuchi alike. Send us the make, model and pin sizes and we match the bracket before it ships - if your machine isn't on this list, it still fits.
What they say about our gear
See all reviews on GoogleRock Breaker & Mud Sieve Buckets
After receiving our first order which had a rock breaker and some mud sieve buckets we knew we'd come back for more, just placed the 3rd order, great service and advice from the sales team, the quality and finish of the attachments are better than I can get locally and a better price.
Rock Breaker
Good service answered any questions i had about matching the new rockbreaker to my machinery. And does the job intend for. Prompt delivery and hassle free. Definitely recommend Aussie Buckets.
Mechanical Grab
We bought a mechanical grab for 20T excavator. Good communication during the whole process via email or phone. Good quality product which we haven't had a problem with at all. They also offered to help install when we picked up but was not required. All departments from order to pickup were very helpful.
Rock Bucket with Ripper Tooth
Great rock bucket. Very effective for separating large rocks out of fill material. The ripper tooth is solid and well fabricated. I am very satisfied with my purchase after several weeks of use.
Ripper & Rake
Recently bought a ripper and a rake for a 8ton digger, both great quality attachments. The guys at Aussie buckets are very easy to deal with, straight forward for ordering and purchasing. The rake is great for any job in grass or vegetation, even when mixed with rocks or rubbish.
Auger & Drive
Purchased a new Auger and drive with Aussie Buckets. The whole process including checking my dimensions I provided were correct was very easy, even for a backyard excavator operator. Now making tree planting and farm fencing a breeze.
Grab Bucket
Purchased a grab bucket through Aussie Buckets. Andrew and the team were super helpful and very thorough with all the measurements, information and communication. Bucket arrived today and have easily attached and straight into work. Super happy and will purchase more attachments with Aussie Buckets again.
Hydraulic Grab
Recently purchased a hydraulic grab for my mini excavator, great piece of equipment, great quality and pricing also customer service was fantastic. Easy partial assembly required, great bit of kit.
Hydraulic Grab
The hydraulic grab is better than any Christmas pressi. I use it on my farm dealing with trees and firewood. Also pipe laying. Try lifting 450 dia 12m long HDPE pipe and the grab fits perfect. OK the little Kubota knows it got a big fish on the hook but I can do what I can't do otherwise. Great choice - by me, great product thanks to you.
Rotating Grab
Great product, great service, Nick made the process very easy. The rotating grab has been an awesome addition for our scrap metal yard. Cheers from YP Recycling
Tilt Hitch & Auger Drive Package
Have bought a tilt hitch and now an auger drive package through the team, can't fault them at all, from Hayden in sales to the whole team. Will definitely be purchasing my equipment through Aussie buckets in the future
Hydraulic Grab & Auger
Great company to deal with. Excellent quality hydraulic grab attachment. The company was so nice to deal with I placed another order for a different attachment. Also kept me updated on my order from start to finish. Received my new auger and it is an amazing piece of kit coupled with a 350mm auger and I got the 1m extension also. Had a bit of time to test everything out and the grab is great for moving posts rocks and anything else to save my back. The auger has plenty of torque and because I'm in a bit of rocky ground I got the combination auger and it's busting through it quite well. Still very happy with my order and Aussie Buckets support and after sale check in just to see how everything is going.
5 Finger Grab
Great team at Aussie Buckets. Very helpful and thorough in getting the correct dimensions. Regular updates on manufacture progress. And the 5 Finger Grab fitted perfectly and wow how powerful and useful. Tripled the use of my little 1.6 Takeuchi.
Hydraulic Grab
Huge thanks to Hayden and the whole team at Aussie Buckets!! Great price and really fantastic service. I purchased a hydraulic grab for my 305CR, great communication from the team throughout the order and delivery process and the attachment went straight onto the machine effortlessly and is very well built! I have already ordered a ripper and will be saving up for a stick rake next!!
Hydraulic Grab
We bought a hydraulic grab for our 5t excavator from Aussie Buckets and couldn't be happier. The square edged jaws help with gripping material while filtering out the dirt. So far, our customers have loved using it
Heavy Duty Stick Rake
I recently took delivery of the 1200mm wide heavy duty stick rake from Aussie Buckets. I was very impressed with the price I received and the staff kept me up to date during the procurement process. I love the design and the quality. I would very much recommend this product and I will look to source some more attachments through them in the future!
Hydraulic Grab
We purchased the hydraulic grab for our Kubota 1.7T for the purpose of moving rocks and logs which it does with ease. Exceptional design and construction I would highly recommend Aussie Buckets.
Rock Hammer
Needed a new rock hammer. Aussie Buckets delivered a quality product that is exactly what I required. Definitely would recommend
Frequently asked questions
What is an excavator flail mower? An excavator flail mower is an attachment with hinged blades on a rotating shaft that cut grass, light scrub and roadside growth. It is also called a flail head or boom mower. Aussie Buckets flail mowers cover 2 to 30 tonne excavators across four builds, driven directly from the auxiliary circuit.
What is the difference between a flail mower and a mulcher? A flail mower swings hinged blades to cut grass, light scrub and roadside growth and suits maintenance mowing. A mulcher uses a fixed-tooth drum to grind standing timber and stumps into chip and suits land clearing. Choose the flail mower where vegetation is cut, the mulcher where it has to be reduced.
Can a flail mower cut on a steep batter? Yes, and it is the main reason contractors choose one. The excavator boom puts the head onto batters, table drains and steep verges while the machine itself stays on level ground. A tractor-mounted slasher has to sit on the slope it is cutting, which limits how steep it can safely work.
What size excavator does a flail mower need? Aussie Buckets flail mowers cover 2 tonne to 30 tonne excavators across four builds, from a 631 mm cut on the smallest to 1,431 mm on the largest. Hydraulic flow, not machine weight, sets which head a machine can drive, so send your auxiliary circuit figures with your machine make and model.
Can you replace the blades on a flail mower? Yes. Blades are interchangeable, reversible and replaceable, so each one gives a second working face before it is changed out. Blade profile can also be re-specified for the work, which matters if the same head moves between soft grass and woody regrowth through the year.
How much does an excavator flail mower cost? Aussie Buckets flail mowers start at $9,975. Price moves with head size and machine class, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every head is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support. Get a tailored quote against your machine details.
