- couple kubotas, an old deere,and some junk
All 3 are reputable brands for sure, but im curious about your thoughts considering i cannot find youtube videos and reviews on the dual spindle, 10 foot cutter from these brands.
here are the 3 specific models:
Woods DS10.5 10' deck, 10 guage steel, 3" cutting capacity, 2937 ibs, and blade speed 15,974 fpm
$12,400
closest dealer is my john deere dealer about 30 mins away.
Bush Hog 3510 10.5' deck, 10 guage steel, 3" cutting capacity, 2900 ibs. and blade speed 16,881 fpm
-$14500
i actually have about 4 dealers within around an hours drive.
Rhino Tr310, 10' deck, 10 guage steel, 3" cutting capacity, 3100 ibs, blade speed 16,215 fpm
-$16500
closest dealer about an hour and a half drive.
The Rhino is obviously the most expensive, also being around 200 ib more than the other two. the bush hog is oddly the lightest, but it also has an extra 6 inches and has a noticeably higher blade tip speed, which actually bumps up to around 17,400 fpm when using a 1000 rpm PTO. whether this would make a difference in the cut quality id have to find out.
I plan to use mostly on horse and cow pastures, shredding corn stalks, and taking down random brush and other odd jobs when needed. i think the 3" cutting capacity wont give me any issues for anything i might be cutting. anything thicker than that a chainsaw or an axe would be used anyway.
i dont mind driving the distance and paying the money to get the rhino as long as its really worth the 16 and a half gs and i wont be constantly bringing it back with problems. im slightly leaning towards the bush hog because of its slightly larger deck and higher blade speed, not to mention its so reputable most have taken to calling any cutter a bush hog. but im a little concerned that it weighs 200 ibs less than the rhino and even less than the cheaper woods which makes me wonder of they skimped out of some heavy duty parts for cheaper ones... probably not the case tho. i have heard mixed things about the woods line of hogs but it seems like a good budget option, yet a solid cutter.
what are your thoughts?
