You think a 32 hp ford could pull that
I'm not a real fan of one brand over another. I do however, subscribe to the notion that Bush hogs (or anything else for that matter) that are "Heavy Duty" and use a clutch instead of sheer pins is a much better choice than "regular" duty or light duty ones with pins.What brand of rotary cutter have you had the best luck out of or prefer the most
With the pto off and up on a decent road, sure...You think a 32 hp ford could pull that
I agree. I started out with sheer pins and kept breaking them. The slip clutch was money well spent!!!I'm not a real fan of one brand over another. I do however, subscribe to the notion that Bush hogs (or anything else for that matter) that are "Heavy Duty" and use a clutch instead of sheer pins is a much better choice than "regular" duty or light duty ones with pins.
I really, really dislike sheer pins. Seems they usually break at the absolute worst part of a project. The only implement I currently have with pins, instead of a clutch, is a post hole digger (about 30-40 yrs old - brand escapes me.). It typically snaps a pin when the auger is about 35-40" down and full of clay.
I've love to see a 35, 40hp tractor run a 12' mower in ANYTHING that REALLY needed mowing!!I'm currently waiting on a 70hp tractor, which is twice as big as what I've been using to mow. My goal is to get a 12 foot batwing after the tractor gets here, or as soon as I can afford it. Land Pride is at the top of my list, but so is Rhino and Woods. Maybe Modern. It seems that most 12 foot batwings are rated for 1 1/2 inch material and 35 to 40hp ratings,
Didn’t know sheer pins were that badI'm not a real fan of one brand over another.
