Funny thing happened on the way to purchasing a B7800. I test drove an L3400.

Though the L might limit some places I might go on the property, the extra HP and position control would be nice.

I was wondering about brush cutters though. Seems like a meduim duty cutter like a Woods 600 or a Bushhog 285 would be too much for the B7800, but am I still limited to a standard duty cutter with the L3400?

I don't have a lot of heavy grass to cut. stuff I would be cutting are field edge--vines & small saplings & other junk that hides rocks. Not looking to cut heavy wood with it--just concerned about the durability of smashing into unknown rough stuff. Obviously I wouldn't purposely abuse it, but am just concerned about how many accidental encounters the standard duty will put up with.

For standard--looking at the LP 1860 & Woods BB60. (Bush Hog dealer is too far away)

For medium duty the woods 600 & the Bush hog 285 (I'd make the drive for the right deal)
