Grizzly Flail Head 800, Compact Excavator Flail Attachment | Built in Fermanagh

For 2 to 4 tonne excavators • 800mm working width • Shreds up to 19mm • Custom headstock built to your machine

⏰ Planning ahead? Lead time is 4 to 6 weeks. Every Grizzly Flail Head 800 is built to order at our Fermanagh workshop. Custom headstock machined to your exact excavator pin size and hydraulic spec. Build slots fill as the season approaches. The contractors ready on 1 September are the ones who ordered in spring. Call 07734 357045 now to secure your slot.

The Grizzly Flail Head 800 is a compact, powerful hydraulic flail attachment built for mini and compact excavators managing hedgerows, scrub and light vegetation in tighter spaces. With an 800mm working width and the ability to shred material up to 19mm diameter, it keeps field boundaries clean, roadside verges tidy and forestry scrub under control. Built for contractors running 2 to 4 tonne excavators who need a reliable flail head that earns its keep through the season without giving them grief.

On the jobs where a bigger machine cannot get in, the Grizzly 800 gets it done. Tight gateways, narrow field boundaries, steep banks. Hand-built to order at our workshop in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, and used by contractors across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and England.

Three things that cost contractors on compact machines money every season.

The cutting season is short and the Irish weather makes it shorter. Every day of rain or soft ground you cannot get into a field is a day you are not earning. When the machine goes down mid-contract, you need it back fast. A supplier three counties away who does not know what machine you have is no help to you on either of those problems. The Grizzly 800 is built in our own Fermanagh workshop, serviced in our own Fermanagh workshop, and built to work the full season without putting you on the phone to a parts supplier three counties away.

Built for Access, Where Bigger Machines Cannot Reach The 800mm working width and compact design means the Grizzly 800 works in places the larger flail heads cannot get to. Tight farm laneways, narrow field boundaries between ditches, roadside verges with restricted access. If your excavator can get there, the Grizzly 800 can work. Custom headstock built to your machine as standard, at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Grizzly 800 fit my excavator?

The Grizzly 800 fits any make and model in the 2 to 4 tonne range. A custom headstock is built to your exact measurements as standard. Call us on 07734 357045 and we will confirm your specific machine.

What kind of vegetation can the Grizzly 800 handle?

The Grizzly 800 shreds hedgerow, scrub, brambles and light woody growth up to 19mm diameter. It is designed for compact machines working on narrower hedgerows, tight field boundaries and roadside verges. For thicker vegetation and larger stems, consider the Grizzly 1000 or Grizzly 1200.

How long is the lead time and why?

Lead time is 4 to 6 weeks. Every Grizzly 800 is built to order in our Fermanagh workshop. That time is spent machining your custom headstock to your exact pin size and hydraulic specification and building the attachment properly. You are not buying a stock item from a warehouse. Build slots fill as the season approaches, so the contractors who are ready on 1 September are always the ones who ordered in spring. Call to discuss your build slot now.

Does the headstock cost extra?

No. A custom headstock built to your exact excavator measurements is included as standard on every Grizzly Flail Head at no extra cost.

Do you carry out servicing and repairs?

Yes. All servicing and repairs are carried out in our own Fermanagh workshop. Because we manufacture every machine ourselves we can work on them faster and more accurately than a general dealer. See our Workshop Services page for details.

What is the difference between the Grizzly 800, 1000 and 1200?

The Grizzly 800 is built for 2 to 4 tonne excavators and shreds up to 19mm. The Grizzly 1000 is for 4 to 6 tonne machines and handles up to 30mm, making it the most popular size for general farm and roadside work. The Grizzly 1200 is the heavy-duty option for 8 to 13 tonne machines taking on thick scrub and commercial scale clearance up to 50mm.

Do you deliver outside Northern Ireland?

Yes. We deliver across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and England as standard. All machines are securely palletised for transport to your yard or job site. Delivery beyond these areas can be arranged. Just ask when you call.
