Tractor Sizing Size bush/brush hog for 1610D

[remurden]

I have a 1610D and was thinking about buying a bush/brush hog. Now, I am stuck on what size to get. What can a 1610D accomadate? What can i expect to pay for a used one? They land out here in Chesapeake is flat, way flat.
Thanks,
Richard

Sir,
I also have a 1610D. The biggest bush hog you could use is a 48". They make a 42" which is the best fit for our tractors and the one I recommend. I don't have one yet but was up to Ferguson Equipment yesterday and talked to Reggie about getting one. You can call me if you have any other questions. 480-2774, I live in Norfolk. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a 1610d yanmar & a 4' howse brush hog .Works great. I don't think you would want to go any bigger,even on flat ground because of the weight when you pick it up.I have a loader on so it is balanced pretty well .

I also have a 1610D and use a 4' rotary mower. The tractor handles it well but I did have to add some front weights. I bought a used 4' Howse brand for $225.00.
