Virnig V60 72-Inch Flail Mower for Mid-Frame Skid Steers
Overview
The 72-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're processing heavy brush, overgrown saplings, and thick vegetation that standard-flow flails can't handle
- Your machine has high-flow hydraulics and you want the productivity gain on large acreage or contract work
- You're doing reclamation, right-of-way clearing, or heavy vegetation management regularly
Skip if
- Your machine is standard-flow — high-flow flails won't perform better and may overheat
- Light grass mowing is your primary use — a standard flail mower is simpler and less expensive
Also consider
- Standard flail mower for light-to-medium vegetation on standard-flow machines
- Brush mulcher for woody material over 4 inches that high-flow flails still struggle with
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
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Run rotor at idle for 20 seconds before engaging full speed
- Test stall protection if equipped
