In market for a second rotary mower - comparisons?

hotchkiss · Dec 27, 2013

I have a Bushog 3008 mower that I use with the 6330, but I just picked up a 5055 with 30 hours and am looking for a 6 foot rotary mower to go on it. I am not shot in the pooper with regard t0 the 3008 ( not a fan of the rubber discs that are used on the shaft - expensive and do not wear well ). I may still get a second bushhog but wanted to know what people think of their 6 footers. It will be for grass and weeds around the orchards.

I have been using a Land Pride RCR2672 for about three years and have been very happy with it, I have chain guards front and back.

It was new then, doesn't look quite the same now.

I too have a 3008 BH, I do not like the rubber slip disks, they do not last long. I have a 306 bush hog brand and it is a stud for brush but poor on grass. Also have a 286 bush hog brand that does great with grass/weeds and handles small trees up to 1 1/2 ok.
May get a 297 bush hog brand and get ride of the 306.
