Bush Hog

[1948ford8n]

I have to put my two cents in too! I worked for New Holland for 37 yrs and loved it when others called a Hesston or Deere mower conditioner a "Haybine" but I hated when they called our Skid Steer Loader a "Bobcat".

I need a laugh today, we got news that our dog Sunni, the best dog a man could have has cancer, and will not be long with us.

Sorry to hear this. It's tough, but time is the great healer. Don't take too long to find a "Sunni II"

Good point!

In that spirit, I suggest that henceforth, those posting to this forum refer to our machines as "Trahera", that being the original generic term from the Latin for a thing that draws or pulls.

Thats not a skid steer.

Maybe not, but it "skids" around when you "steer" it

Like the Midwest calls carbonated beverages a Pop. Westerners, soda. Southerners, Coke.

Since my Trehera draws, pulls and goes around in circles, would it be a "Rotary Trahera"?

LD1 made a clever sentence with tools brand names instead of actual names and I understood every single bit of it and that prove his point.

I understood it well.

Can I borrow your Klein's to cut this wire?

That's why I bought a real branded Bush Hog (a Squealer). I didn't want to be going around calling things by the wrong name. It's like my late friend who was married four times. He made sure all his wives were named "Pat" so he couldn't make a possibly fatal mistake.

The kicker would be making sure you married them all on the same day so you did not screw up the anniversary!

To the OP:

you have WAAAAAAY too much time on your hands. I suggest you try cutting the same area as you do w your bush hog w a push lawn mower. After that, you won’t care what your “shredding device” is called..

I know I'm being picky but I have an issue with folks calling a rotary mower a Bush Hog. Bush Hog is a brand name just as John Deere, Ford, Dodge, etc.
Home - Bush Hog This is the Bush Hog website note they even call them rotary cutters. I know it may be a hard habit to break but could we learn to call them rotary cutters unless of course you are referring to the Bush Hog brand.

I actually call it a Brush Hog. No company had that name. It’s just a term some of the old timers use. You say tomato.

I bought a bush hog one time, it ended up being a POS so I switched to a "Woods". lol So, now I have to say "rotary cutter" because no one would know what a "woods" is.
