I was looking to purchase my first rotary cutter and would appreciate any advice.
I am looking to maintain my 1100 road side, upkeep some walking trails and keep a few small fields cut once or twice a year and possibly use as a poor mans lawn mower. The initial clearing may have some small sapling痴, wild raspberry, wild rose but if there is anything too large I will clear it with a chainsaw or FEL w/tooth bar prior to cutting.
I have a B7610 and have saved about $1000, but pricing landpride, rhino and woods the numbers are a little higher than expected.
So I am now looking to King Kutter! From the forum so many seem to be satisfied and it seems that my little tractor will be mostly geared to the light duty type cutter anyway.
I narrowed the search to the L-48-40-P, L-60-40-P or the 4 XP cutter.
I think the 5 is too heavy @ 525# and according to the tractor manual the limitation is 400#.
Also have a few concerns of when using this how much of an angle is too much going north and south?
I have hilly property and was wondering if one would be better than the other?
I also plan to be using this near my house so I am also concerned with protection?
Appreciate any advice! Thanks
