Something a JD 4410 could handle? I am talking about something you could wade into the brush and saplings and make it happen and hold up well for years.

Land Pride RCR 2660 or an MX6. I thing the John Deere 609 HD rotary cutter would be too heavy.

I personally like a Woods because of the way the blades are removed. But if you want real heavy duty, you might want to look into a Brown. JMIII has one. Brown Rotary Cutters

For your size tractor and available PTO hp... take a look at BushHog's Model 12 & 305 for Mid to HD cutting capacity and durability...
There are other heftier units out there... but I'm afraid your 29/30 PTO hp max is the limiting factor... along with the 3-pt hitch rating...

I'd second the JD MX6 recommendation - I've got an MX5 and it's awesome. JD sells even heavier duty units in their HX series but I'm not sure your 4410 has the pto hp for those.

How about a Rhino GR60? It requires a PTO of 30 HP, which is what I believe your 4410 is.

Hi Dave,
The GR60 is an outstanding unit (I just got an older Servis unit)... but the gyro bar is very heavy... and I don't believe the 4410 could handle the 3-pt version... but obviously the tow/trailer unit... ~ 1300-1400 lbs?
Another Rhino choice would be the CY60... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The meanest.. Rhino's "Lumber Jack" LJ72 has a cutting capacity of 6 inches... 2500 lbs and requires a min of 90 PTO HP.. deck is 1/4 inch.. sides are 1/2 inch thick.

Given that CountryBoy only has a 30 PTO HP tractor, your choice is out of his league. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Gatorboy.. you are right.. got hooked on the title.. "biggest meanest".. I was just going for the meanest. The 5 foot medium duty cutters would be the limit for 30 PTO HP.
