brush hog

Snow finally gone, at least where the grass is and I'm getting the brush hog ready for the field. The safety chains that prevent debris from coming out unchecked is missing quite a few links. I figured before I replace I'll ask my question... Has anyone replaced the chain guard with anything...

Doing my annual clutch slip on my land pride rcr1260. Marked the plates, ran it and one plate moved, two stuck together. Did this a bunch of times with the same result. I did notice the last time that the two stuck together were in a different position relative to where the spring assembly...

I broke my roto tiller this spring and need to get it fixed. The shaft that holds the tines broke in half. Looks like a new one is $1200. My questions are: Someone told me I could take it off and get it welded back together. To me it seems like it wouldn't hold. Does anyone know where I might...

Video of machine here: 2024_09_16 art ford 1600 video.mp4 Peach of a compact tractor. It’s a 23hp diesel with a nine speed gearbox. Lifts 1700lbs on the 3point hitch. Made by the legendarily reliable Shibaura (Japan). Needs nothing! No leaks! Only issue is the glow plug indicator light doesn’t...

I currently have a very old 5' brush hog that I use with my 30 Hp Kubota L3130. I recently broke the shaft on the brush hog. The repair is likely more than the value of the mower. I'm looking at replacing it with a 6' brush hog. The question is: can the L3130 handle the larger size? I'm...

I have a brush hog mower I got with used tractor a few years back. One blade was bent pretty good, which I have since straightened to an acceptable degree. My question is on sharpening blades. I tried to sharpen when I took bent blade off to straighten. They were pretty well beat up. I just...

Hi, I got the nuts off the blade bolts on my 6' Brush Hog with an air impact gun but could not get the bolts out of the blade carrier. I had a lot of penetrant, an engineers hammer and a length of pipe, and also tried an air hammer. I'm hoping to have another go at it with a propane torch (all...

I have a Kubota L3560 and a Land Pride RFC2072 rotary cutter. Last year I had it mounted directly to my three-point hitch but this year I'm attempting to use the quick hitch that came with my Big Tool Rack. The default pins on the cutter are (I believe) Category 1. I've added some shims /...

As stated, I am new here, and have never owned a tractor before, but have run skidsteers and other construction equipment most of my life. I'm stoked about getting this tractor for our property. I just bought the new LS mentioned above which is coming in about a week or so. We also want to get...

Been raining off and on past several days. Finished wet sandblasting this morning and then primer coat put on. After sandblasting I used my leaf blower to dry and no rust. To keep my sand dry I drilled a 7/16 hole in the 5-gallon lid and ran the sand feed tube thru it. I used a total of 12...

The Brush Hog SQ172 I got with a piece of property has extremely worn blades. I ordered some blades and bolts. Does anyone know the wrench size of the nut (part number 252BH)?

Has anyone replaced a 1:1.47 ratio brush hog gearbox with a higher ratio 1:1.93 or 1:2.83 ratio. Would this setup help the brush hog to operate under reduced acceleration contributing to fuel economy and more efficiency? Would the 1:2.83 ratio gearbox perform well using the ground speed PTO? The...

My goal is to much up some down branches, and firewood leftovers. And overall to be safe. Maybe also attacking blackberries. Ok, I started looking at small consumer quality skid steer forestry mulcher attachments. The attachments are almost reasonably priced, but have a ravenous appetite for...

Hi All, I’ve lurked around on this forum for quite some time, but the realistic possibility of being a tractor owner within the month prompted me to join and get some insight, and hopefully reinforce my thought process. We moved onto 26 acres nearly three years ago now, but officially bought...

I purchased a used Rhino 10' brush hog last fall to use this year. I have broken the output shaft clean in to. There appears to be no rust on the shaft where it broke, but there are no stumps, just old rotten oak limbs out in the horse pasture. This is the second shaft I broke in two weeks...

I've been running my Kioti CK3510 for a few years with a land pride brush hog attachment. Suddenly, this summer, I have destroyed three of the lower 3-point draw pins. The cause is the same each time. The 7/8" nut vibrates off during mowing and with it goes the large 7/8" flat washer and...

Since acquiring a tractor back in April, we have been steadily buying implements. The 2-disc Ferguson Plow and 20-disc harrow were in the weeds on our lot, everything else we picked up used. Today we got the scrape blade and brush hog. previously acquired were the 5-time cultivator (pictured...

My current 6 foot RC is nowhere near enough for the tractor I'm pulling it with. Money is a little tight, but I found a 8 foot RC for CHEAP.. catch is that the internals to the T-Box (center gearbox) are completely gone - center gear box housing is there to compare a new one to, but nothing...

Found an old Woods Dixie Cut brush hog on craigslist. Little to no rust but a leaky seal, very worn blades and cracked lift arm (which was welded on.) Figured out it's a Woods M5-3 - was able to get the product manual from woods which was nice. Got a new seal from german bliss - changing...

Hi, Purchased a used, 5' rotary cutter and am quite happy with it. Plows thru brush and palmetto without much issue. Purchased it in mid-Florida. Would like to know the manufacturer / brand if anyone has a good idea from the looks. Thanks. FloridaAl
