Virnig V60 60-Inch Flail Mower for Compact Skid Steers

Overview

The 60-inch-inch flail mower cuts grass, light brush, and overgrown vegetation to a fine mulch on Canadian roadsides, municipal right-of-ways, and acreages. Virnig Manufacturing (Minnesota) is well regarded in Canada for heavy-duty skid steer attachments, available through Canadian equipment dealers. Flail knives re-ingest cuttings for finer mulching than rotary cutters, and the enclosed deck reduces throw hazard. Requires adequate hydraulic flow. Available in Canada through Virnig's Canadian dealer network.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You operate a mini skid steer (Dingo, Boxer, Toro) and need a mowing attachment that fits the weight class
  • Tight spaces, urban landscaping, or orchard row maintenance where a full-size machine can't maneuver
  • You want contained discharge for safe operation near buildings, fences, or people

Skip if

  • You run a full-size skid steer — a standard flail mower gives better productivity and coverage
  • Heavy brush is your main target — mini flails are built for grass and light vegetation only

Also consider

  • Standard flail mower sized for your full-size skid steer if applicable
  • Rotary cutter for light brush on mini skid steers with appropriate flow
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect all flail hammers before every use — broken or missing hammers unbalance the rotor; a single missing hammer at high RPM creates destructive vibration
  • Replace flail hammers in matched sets to maintain rotor balance — even one missing hammer causes vibration that damages drive motor bearings
  • Grease rotor shaft bearing housings after every 8 hours of cutting
  • Remove wrapped wire, twine, and root material from around the rotor shaft after every session — wrapped material cuts through shaft seals and causes bearing contamination
  • Check the hydraulic motor case drain line for leakage after extended work in thick material — a restricted drain causes shaft seal failure and catastrophic motor damage

How to Connect

  1. Attach frame using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
  3. Run rotor at idle for 20 seconds before engaging full speed
  4. Test stall protection if equipped
Safety NoteKeep bystanders 100m+ clear. Flying debris is serious risk.
