I bought a new economy cutter from these guys Rotary Cutters
in Minnesota. Nice unit! 10 guage deck and a Cat 4 drive line. Really beefy! I must have split half a dozen 10-pin bowling ball size rocks in half cutting a 4 acre swath that hasn't been cut in years. Price was $300 CDN les than comparitive Woods Brushbull. At same size (48") the Woods is a twelve gauge deck and a Cat 3 drive line. At 84" Woods gets to Cat 4 driveline, but still has a thinner deck at 11 gauge!

Can you post some pictures of the area you cut and your new rotary cutter. It sounds great!

Pictures....OK, here's a picture of the cutter, which doesn't do it justice. It's in the garage, next to the box blade and the light is bad. I would have hooked it on the tractor but I have to cut the lawn, so...

These are the rocks, cut like butter! (Notice the sheared tops on the two on the left)

Here is a shot of just the field. You can see my neighbors property line on the right.

Finally, here is a shot of the field where you can see I have started to box blade the area for a chamber mound raised septic field and it is marked in the forground with the sticks. The piles of dirt are, of course, where I have begun scraping.

That looks like a great deal. I also noticed that you can order them to match the color of your tractor! I've got a Kubota tractor with a JD rotary cutter. Kind of like plaid pants and white shoes!

Ah.. Lockport!!!! That's Nedley's tree line in the background if I'm not mistaken?!?

Nice setup. I'm in the market for a rotary mower... I'm going to have to call them for a price. Did that include delivery or did you go pickup?

I'm not sure of their name. They own a thin strip right down the middle from Mcphillips road probably to the CPR tracks. They had 14,000 of 21,000 pheasants escape in those torrential winds last week.

I got this from the same place I got my Kubota which was through Mike at Shachtay Sales in Arborg. He sent his guy all the way in from Arborg, which is about 70 miles to here, to the city, and then delivered it back here! For free! I can't say enough about them. I picked up a 60" box blade from the same distributor, at the time, too. If you decide to go see Mike, drop my name.
