Mowing Rotary cutter size for B7500?

[RoyJackson]

Take this for what it's worth...

When I bought my 60" Land Pride cutter back in 2001, I had a Deere 670 (19 Engine HP, 16.5 PTO HP). As far as power, the 670 is close to the B7500. Size and weight, the 670 is (estimated) 20-25 percent larger.

I was actually looking for a 48" cutter, but the salesman (Kubota/Land Pride dealer in west York PA) said they sold the 60" cutters for use with the B7500's.

The Deere 670 did better then I expected with that cutter. I expect the B7500 would too, but it'll be slow going and the B7500 would definitely need front ballast (loader, suitcase weights).

Our B7500 does ok with a 60" rotary cutter in brush, but you have to stay out of thick grass (or go VEERRRRRRRRY SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW) as it will work that engine hard enough to overheat on a warm day.
The L3830 handles it much better, but the 60" cutter doesn't cover the tire tracks.

Thank you JohnThomas (and everyone else!) for your helpful contries.

I have plenty of high grass, previously cut with a rotary cutter. BUT... I have a few places with small trees and bushes.
(Everything grows wonderfully on our farm except fruit trees, roses, vegetables...)
I consider a CountyLineｮ Rotary Cutter, 4 ft at TSC, I could get it locally (Columbus GA) for about $850.00 plus tax.

I've had quotes of good new 48" Rotary cutters from dealer for $699 and $799. I think you need to shop around. I bought a new one for $500 that was a brand my dealer no longer sales. He only had one more left besides the one I bought..

You should seriously look at 48 inch flail mower from Ken Sweet or a Caroni flailmower with a B rotor from Agrisupply for your type of brush cutting and maintenance.:thumbsup:

I have the SLE-48 Phoenix Flail mower for $2675 delivered within 1000 miles of 27893. It is quick hitch compatible. Ken Sweet
