    Rotary Cutter Gear box repair/replace?

    Does anyone have a clue as to what brand this gearbox may be or what I need to know to replace and or repair it? My best guess is that it is the same make and model year as the tractor, Case 1987 but I can not find any markings on it anywhere other than what appears to be a 23 on the side of the...

    Adjustable Stand For Sharpening Batwing Cutter Blades

    I was using a big C-clamp and 1x4 board to hold the blades while sharpening with an angle grinder. They would slip, skid off, not stay tight... and cause lots of cussing in general. 🤬 So... I made a stand that adjusts to any height to sharpen the blades of any batwing cutter with the wings in...

    Old rotary cutter, tail wheel assembly?

    This is my father in law's. I have been trying to keep up his place and it's gotten to the point that it's really difficult to use it like this. How would I go about finding parts for it. The biggest need is the whole tail wheel/yoke assembly.

    removing Brush Hog blade bolts

    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 /...

    Rust Damage Control

    I've got a Woods 15' Batwing cutter that has served me well for a bit over 9 years now. But It's showing some deck rust. I blow the deck off daily when using the cutter, but the corrosive nature of plant fluids makes it's way through anything after awhile, and factory paint or powder coat on...

    Rotary Cutter Brush Hog gearbox ratio

    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...

    Why Can't Someone Make a Good 12' Batwing Cutter?

    I have been looking for a high quality 12' batwing cutter for a long time now... 😣 They make great 15 foot cutters, but when you want a 12' for tighter areas and less horsepower, the lineup of what's out there is just disgusting. Currently I have a Modern Ag 12' Viper. I have a love/hate...

    Brush hogging with Montana 3840, Grade 2 shear bolts wont work

    Does anybody have any experience with brush hogging on their Montanas? I hadn't gone through a single shear bolt on mine since I bought it, and once I did it was a nightmare. I bought a pack of grade 2 bolts from Menards, but sheared every single one of them on startup, never even got to mow...

    I picked up a tractor recently that came with a Hi-Co rotary mower. The PTO and shaft spin at full speed, but the blades don't move at all. They will turn if I reach underneath and push them by hand. This is the first rotary mower I have owned so I know virtually nothing about them. Should I...

    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...

    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...
