Hi,
I want to get a bushog for mowing after the summer rains. Anyone know the maximum size I can use on my mini tractor?
Thank you,

I had a Kubota BX2660 and according to the book it was a 4' bushog. The one I have is an older model ford brand which is pretty heavy. It would take the weight off the front wheels when I would pick up on it. I took the top link loose and used a chain in place which was much safer to use especially in uneven ground. I also used two suitcase weights on the front. I now have a Kubota 2920 and according to the book is a 5'.

My dealer strongly recommended sticking with a 42" or smaller. 48" might work for "tall grass" but not thick brush. IMO, this is probably one of the only applications where the BX1500 comes up short on HP.
