I'm an old fart in Northeast Georgia. When we bought our retirement home, it came with a clear need for a tractor. We bought a JD 5310; I've been asked to review it elsewhere so I guess I will shortly. I joined TractorByNet looking for help with a malfunctioning Taylor-Way Bush Hog.
I use a Taylor-Way bush hog that is driving me sane. Last spring it stopped cutting and went to just bashing grass and weeds. That was useles.
During the summer I pulled the blades. They were beat up and dull; no big surprise after a dozen years of bush hogging about 18 acres twice a year...
