Non-credible. Purpose-built mine flails are on the borderline of credibility already. In this configuration, you’d need at least a class IV hitch to handle the tongue weight, probably a class V when you factor in the force imparted by the motion of the flail. That’s not even taking into account how much power is needed to properly swing the chains with enough impact to detonate a significant portion of the mines.
And if there happens to be an AT mine or two in the mix, the whole ill-advised experiment becomes an unappealing art installation.
A single Hilux (Tacoma?) could remove every unexploded ordinance in the world war 2 theatre, without the flail.
I know this truck. Ain’t no stranger. I know that truck. That’s a Ford. Fucking Ranger. Fucking Ranger. Ford Ranger. Damn.
Fully credible. It will blow up at least one mine.
Flail needs a power source.
Kick start it for the first one, then use the energy of the blast to keep it going. Not only is the minefield cleared, we have infinite energy.
Ukrainians are far ahead of you. There are several mine clearing tractors operating already.
Rangers are tough but I think you’d need a Toyota for this one.
Depends if you want your vehicle and operator to blow up one mine or hundreds.
