King Kutter vs Frontier brush hog

Don't feel like you are missing something if you don't have the slip clutch! When you are only mowing your own property you will know where your hazards are and the shear bolt will work fine and be less maintenance work for you. To go out commercially I would recommend the slip clutch as we have often heard that there is nothing in the field to worry about!!!????

The nice thing about an add-on slip clutch (or overrun protection) is that once you buy it, you can protect every implement you choose to bolt it to. The larger PITA is the change in driveline length they cause, but thats a one time fix. Either means works fine. If you are replacing a lot of pins in the field, that 30 minutes of maintenance at the slow part of the season would just be a memory...
Frontier is rebadged equipment from smaller producers that do not have the marketing power JD wields. If the line comes up in my searches I usually will check to see what the producer charges for the grey, red, yellow or orange version of the same piece just to check the value of the paint and stickers. I think green tint must require some percentage of unobtanium to get that just right color...

On getting the right color, I buy what I like and sometimes price is paramount. The only JD powered machine I have is my old L110 that I use for my Gator but I have several JD implements showing their age.

Several things you get with JD besides anything else they offer. They have parts available in a day or two for machines built back in the '60's. That costs money to stock parts that are sitting on the shelf. They have field service. I don't need/use it, but I have new neighbors who are not mechanically inclined, never sat in a tractor seat, that need that service. That costs money. JD supplies products worldwide to multi-industries that a lot of other companies don't....single usage OEM, like tractors below a certain hp, implements to name a couple. That takes an organization. That takes overhead expenses. That costs money. Leave it be. Your money, if you don't like the price, buy elsewhere. I do. My 2c on the subject.
