Rotary Cutter Kodiak Rotary Cutters? Opinions?

[nelsond7004]

Does anyone have any experience with Kodiak rotary cutters? I compared several brands and I feel for the money the Kodiak is the best value. Looking at the overall build, the Kodiak seems to be stronger than some of the competition.

My local dealer has quoted me a standard duty 5' cutter for $725 and a medium duty for $1000. Both are priced without a slip clutch; however I will be adding one. I am leaning more towards the medium duty for longevity.

Any and all opinions and experiences are welcome!

I can't help you as I have never used a Kodiak but I too am looking at new mowers. I'm not far from you (Washington County) so I was wondering which dealer you've been pricing these mowers? Might just consider buying one for myself.

DT86,

It's a small world isn't it? Progressive Tractor on Hwy 19 across from Ken's Dodge. I called about two weeks ago and spoke to a salesman. I am thinking his name was Tom. It is to my understanding that these are everyday prices. They are carrying a Titan line too that I was told is the same as Kodiak and are priced the same.

The 2 Kodiak impliments I have are HEAVY DUTY. Not fancy, but for the money..... can't beat it. I have a potato plow and tiller, and recommend both. I too am looking at the 5' Kodiak cutters. Like I said, for the money..... can't beat it.

I have had a 5' kodiak standard duty for about 4 years . It is heavier than the big bee or modern cutters, but I would still get the medium duty if I was buying again.

It sure is. I've bought hydraulic filters from them before, seem like good folks to me. Didn't know they had Kodiak but then again I don't stop in often.

You are correct. Most of mahindra's impliments are Kodiak.

I have a 10' pull type Mahindra (Kodiak) heavy duty and I pull it with my 5530 4wd Turbo. Pull types need less pto power to operate than the 3ph's!

I have a 5' Kodiak that I've been very happy with. It was definitely the best built of the 'cheap' cutters (compared to what you find at TSC, etc). It's a good match for both my B3200 Kubota and my NAA Ford. I've used it semi-commercially for about 2-3yrs now and it has held up well. In that time I slightly bent the rear fork and have made some good size dings in the side, but that's about it. Overall a good unit for the money.
