Rotary Cutter Bush Hog BH16 vs Landpride RCR1872

[shajoe44]

Ive narrowed my search down to these 2 mowers. Any suggestions as to one over the other?

Thanks

I don't think you could go wrong either one. They both have good reputations. I might lean towards the land pride because I like the straddle mounted pin hookup for the 3pt lower links better than the cantilever style on the BH.

Can you explain what the differences are in what you described. I am not exactly what you are trying to say as to what one does over the other.

Thanks

Well the straddle style captures your three point arm on each side where and you slide a pin through the arm. The cantilever style has the pin bolted to the cutter and you slide the lift arm on the pin. I find the straddle style easier to hook up and by all rights it is stronger. However...I've never had a problem with bush hogs set up as far as being weak. I looked at both of these cutters but ended up with a 172 Rhino mainly because I've always wanted to try a Rhino product.
