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 understand and agree to a point... however if communication is the goal there are several types oh rotary cutters out there... Bush Hog brings to mind a specific type. We all do it all the time ... Bandaid... Formica ... Jet Ski i could go on but you get my point.

You are not being picky at all. I'm with you. Same for people calling all tracked tractors Cats and skid steers Bobcats. It's so indicative of the slack-jawed ignorant and lazy demographic that's so prevalent in these forums.

No one cares what you call them

And therein lies the problem.

Just don’t call it a brush hog, that’s annoying to me

You mean like "Band-Aid", "Kleenex", & many other brand names that are used by millions of people EVERY DAY?
I can't think of a better compliment for a brand.
I'm sure Bush hog doesn't mind.

When I worked for Proctor and Gamble you were almost dead meat if you called it "kleenex" instead of facial tissue. I have a Sawzall you can borrow if you want to. Lol
