I am looking at buying a 95 hp tractor with a cutter. They are recomending the 15 foot Land Pride over the 14 foot fixed Rhino and 14 foot fixed Bush Hog. Anyone have any thoughts? I will be cutting grass and fairly heavy brush. Thanks.

The Rhino 15' Flexwing Heavy or Super-Heavy Duty model. It is hands the best rotary cutter in it's class.
Why did he compare the Flexwing Land Pride vs. a Rhino 14' fixed deck? Because he knew if he compared Flexwing to Flexwing he couldn't recommend the Land Pride.
Actually the Rhino Fixed Deck is better too, but unless you have flat land, you will get scalping and high spots on your non-flat areas.

Sounds weird... I'd buy either the Rhino or the Bush hog over landpride... Cutters are what they do best. I'd give a slight edge to the Heavy Rhino but I could easily buy the bush hog in the 3615 model for the right deal. Whatever you get, get the chains on both front and back to catch flying stuff...

The SR15 is heavier than the BH-3615, heavier gearboxes and drives. $10,300

These prices should give you an idea of how good/bad of a deal you are getting.
You really don't need an FL-15 (Super-Heavy Duty), I'd recommend an SR-15. I would think once you get your initial brush cut, you'll just be cutting grass after that.
If you were going to use your cutter on brush all the time, I'd then go with the FL-15.

I usually compare the prices I have seen on the net with their prices of Agri-Supply .
