bush hog

Not sure what to do here, hooked up the LS brush hog and when I turn the key it does nothing. Brake is on. PTO switch is off. Ran fine when I boxed the road, went to bush hog and this is where I am stuck. Anybody know what went wrong, or what it could be?

Apparently the nut on my left lift pin of the rotary cutter came off. Lost the lift pin. Attached are pictures. Have it on a Harbor Freight Quick Hitch. Think the quick hitch kept the left side from dropping all the way because its middle hook kept the middle up. Wasn't sure the two orange...

Good morning, is it normal that these blades be loose? I know nothing about this, I need one and it’s been sitting The bolt/ nut is tight, just sloppy from wear. Not stupid loose in my uneducated opinion but definitely wobbly. Someone has just abused this thing Thanks

Have an old Bush Hog Model 12 rotary cutter that I’m looking for a part I’m unable to find. The gear box is ok but attached to the gear box is a part that supports the shaft and bearing that extends from the gear box and is the mounting bracket that holds the 2 cutter blades. I’ve been searching...

Longtime member but this is my first post. I have been maintaining briars, grass, and up to 1.5 - 2 inch scrub pine on a 50+ acre tract with a 1-2 year old Bush Hog brand 3308 and twice now in 6 months the pan “weldment” has failed. Tractor is a Kubota 8540. Bush Hog begrudgingly covered the...

When I start my bush hog ES2352 the bendix gets caught up in the flywheel

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...

Hello all, Been using a hand-me-down 1985 MF240 with a Bush hog 72" model 286 cutter on 14 of the 25 acres I recently moved to. It seemed to work flawlessly, but the 12-14 hours I have on doing this is my only tractor experience. The Massey is 46HP, 41 to the PTO (claimed), 35HP to the PTO...

I was running my old KingKutter bush hog through some fairly heavy brush when it started sounding more rattly. Upon looking I saw that all four of the bolts that hold the gear box onto the top of the deck were loose! I guess I need to get the stump jumper out of the way so I can hold the nuts...

Neither of the wings (side decks) on my 15' Bush Hog 3715 Batwing Mower will lower all the way to the ground anymore. It appears that the deck hinges have seized. Any tips/suggestions for the simplest way to resolve this issue?

Long time reader and commentator, first post. Background: I have a 6 foot Bush Hog BH16 I bought new over a decade ago. Used it on my JD 2240 and now my JD 5075E for the first time. Hadn't had enough rain in last few years to justify getting it out. Its been banged up a lot in the Texas Hill...

I have a Bush Hog 2515 that has a broken inner yoke and CV and need a replacement driveline for it. I tried ordering a female half shaft (tractor to male portion that connects to gearbox), but my current one is rectangular 4 spline in which everyone is saying they have never seen so it looks...

I have a Bush Hog 2715 mower and when I raise the batwing, the blades turn. When I lower it, one of them isn't turning even though it was mowing last week just fine. Here is a video: Any thoughts on what I should do? Is it the slip clutch that may need to be tightened or replaced?

Ok the service section in the manual says 10-40 motor oil for the Backhoe. But there is no mention as to what the part # is for the oil filter. The only identifying # on the filter is 1653. It's a spin on oil filter. I don't want to take it off ( it may be destroyed and everything currently...

Used a couple times farm was sold , no need for it. $2900/OBO

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 /...

Hi and thanks in advance, I'm in the market for a used bush hog for a Ford 1220 and was wondering if there is a preferable size for this tractor. I'll be cutting about 23 acres of pasture. Thanks!

I usually use a typical abrasive wheel, but tried a flap disc on my CX-15 blades for the first time and thought it worked well.

Hey all, My mother in law got a new bush hog recently and we're trying to figure out where to start the bush hog. I know it needs to be 2295rpm to run at the required 540rpm for the PTO and we're aware it needs to be lowered to start. What is the recommended rpm to start the PTO? The manual...

I am looking at a used one for my 1025R. I have one acre that was forestry mulched; I’d like to keep the weeds, saplings, etc. under control moving forward. Any thoughts, tips, warnings, etc? Price is better than the Frontier models I’ve looked at. I think I might also need a quick hitch...

Good morning everyone, So I have acquired a Freeman 4000 loader for my tractor but it did not come with any mounting brackets so before I tried to make them horribly I wanted to see if anyone on the forums happened to have some or all the pieces needed tucked in a corner of their garage or...

I have a 6 foot Bush Hog brand rotary mower. Need to change the gear oil, it is almost yellow, looks like it could have gotten water in it. Sat out all winter uncovered. 80/90 weight gear oil sound correct for new fluid?

I bought this 3pt hitch lift type MX10 cutter brand new. Used very little. Low hours. Approximately 2200lbs going off memory ? Works great. Always kept inside out of sun & weather. I went up to batwing & zero mower. $8900 pick up in North Georgia No trades Call Mike six78 98six...

Hello, I’m going to be doing cleanup and reclamation work on my 15+ acre field. I have let it grow for the past 7 years, and have some large saplings to contend with. The birches are the biggest at 15-20’ tall and 3” or a little more bases. I picked up a Buxh Hog 306 cutter, the one that...

Picked up a Bush Hog 306 with 6163 gear box at auction. All seems to be there but in pieces. The horizontal portion of the driveshaft is assembled. The vertical part is in pieces which includes a gear. I first thought it is the gear for the vertical shaft but since it looks just like the gear on...

I bought an old Bush Hog brand 10 point chisel plow today. The seller lifted it up onto my trailer with his Ford 4000, at an idle. My poor little JD 855 could not lift it whole. It was able to lift an end and drag it off the trailer, without scratching the trailer much. I need to get it...

I found my old bush hog I used with my Ford 5000, I know I had to fill up gearbox every time I used it. So if I take apart gearbox and replace seals or unit. I would have to modify cat 2 to cat 1, no biggie. Can I use it with my kubota B2601? Can I get a shaft to link them? I went on their...

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’m looking for a Blade Bar Weldment for a SQ60 if anyone is parting one out?? I found a new one for over $300, so I’m hoping to find a used one! Thanks Doug

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...

Was doing some maintenance on my bush hog decided to see if these were clear. I have two gearboxes on this machine. I removed them and couldn’t blow through them. Shouldn’t they be open to keep pressure from building up in the gearbox and blowing out the seals. Reason I ask I just recently...

I'm still relatively new to tractors and implements, and my dealer is closed till Monday so I figured hey, I'd ask here in case this is a serious thing. The dealer got my RC1060 in Wednesday, delivered it yesterday. I ran it for ~30 minutes yesterday, then an hour today. When I got it out...

I've had this cutter for a few years, got it from an auction. It's about the heaviest rotary cutter I've come across. Has a number (serial I'm guessing) welded into it 28492. Just trying to see what it is. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys. I've been reading your discussions for months but just joined today. I bought a Massey Ferguson 1526 (25HP) a few weeks ago with a box blade and I'm looking at getting flail mower now. This is my first tractor and I'll be using it around my property and as an addition to my small...

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
