Gearmore, Rhino, Linebaugh

Of these three popular brands, what's the general thought on which is best? I'm comparing light duty bush hog type rotary mowers and also post hole diggers. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Rhino's hard to beat and we know they'll be in business for a long time, so parts should be easily available. Dealers are all over if by chance you move etc.

I have a Rhino SE6 and it seems to be a great mower, I have not had any problems with it so far. I have used Bush Hog brand for the last couple of years and to me the Rhino is right up there with it.

I have a Gearmore 40" heavy duty rough cutter for my 'Bota BX2200. It it a rugged machine. No experience with Rhino. I think you mean Leinbach (a German surname). I have a Leinbach carry all which is constructed much better than average carry alls, but no experience with their other equipment.

Yup, you're correct. What started all this was I bought up some equipement from a rancher that went out of business and wound up with a lot of duplicate stuff. I am deciding what to keep and what to sell. I think the answer will be to just keep what looks to be in the best condition, although its all in pretty nice shape. BTW, I also acquired a very nice Ford 1710 AWD. If I get lucky the equipement I sell will pay for the stuff I wind up keeping. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think this is going to be a who has what & what they like is.... But all I can add is I have had a Rhino SE7 for 4 years now - tough , tough, tough item. I would recomend it to anyone.

Interesting to note that on my recent trip to TSC I noticed that their King Kutter brand 60" Brush hog type mower was exactly the same machine as is my Lienbach. I mean exactly, even the replacement tail wheel that TSC sells for the KK is the same.

Similarly the KK box blade and disc they had appeared to be exactly the same as my Chapin brand box blade and disc. I guess it means that brand alone does not necessarily indicate who the mfg. is.

I might also add that all of the KK branded products I saw there looked to be made pretty nice. The box blades however, at least to my eye, didn't appear as stout as some others I've seen.
