Abstract
A rotating cylindrical flailing vegetation cutter, which includes a power rotated shaft having a cross-sectional profile. Disks are provided having a central aperture adapted to slide over the shaft and non-rotatably engage the cross-sectional profile. Each of the disks remain separate from and unattached to the shaft. Spacers are secured between the disks to maintain relative lateral spacing of the disks and form a disk assembly. Flail members are carried by the disk assembly.
