Make up my mind- Landpride or Bushhog

   / Make up my mind- Landpride or Bushhog #21  
I bought the BrushBull 600. It has a 100hp gear box. After 9 years of total abuse that would make Eddie curl up in a quivering ball, it has had no problems other than breaking blades on the granite rocks, stumps, t-posts, buried tires, 3-4" oak, maple, poplar trees and the 5-6" softwood trees. It may not do as nice cutting grass as other units, but it guts it way thru the forest leaving a trail behind. (and I used the word "guts" intentionally!) If I can push it over, it cuts it up.

Some how I just don't see Eddie curling up in a "quivering ball"

Did I miss something or was there something offensive in my previous posts?

Guess I don't understand why you went there.

Eddie

No - didn't mean to be offensive and sincerely apologize if it was offensive.

I meant that the stuff I have to do with the cutter is extremely abusive. It's a wonder that the tractor survives, much less the cutter. You posted that you were running thru the woods and abusing your cutter with just a few issues from that use - if you saw the snot that I have to go thru it would make any sane person wonder why it was being done. Old stumps, large chunks of granite sticking out, partly buried metal goodies from days gone by and those are the things that wait hidden to pounce while pushing over trees to cut up and make a trail. It's very common to have to roll 3ft granite rocks out of the trail where the cutter drug them up and whacked them around. Every spring even the old trail have rocks pushed up by the frost and the new ones are enough to bring dread.

Maybe it's just a phrase that is local. "if you thought that was bad, this will make you curl up in a quivering ball!".

Again --> didn't mean to be offensive and apologize

Thanks John,

I thought I was being thin skinned, but kept thinking about it and after awhile, came back and replied to your comment. I honestly didn't know how to take it.

I was trying to reply earlier about the abuse that I put my mower through without trying to make it sound macho or like I was bragging. I wasn't having fun doing what I was doing, and now that I'm past that stage, don't ever want to do it again. I've learned that there are better, smarter ways to clear trails and open up the land since my earlier days of running everything over and shredding it. My mower impressed me with what I did to it, and I highly recommend it based on the fact that I don't see allot of people being as dumb as I am. For grass and small saplings, it should never have any of the issues that mine has. But even after all my abuse, it's still in use every year and it does a great job of cutting areas that get too far overgrown for my finish mower.

Eddie

I have a SQ172 and it works great for me. I have not used a Land Pride so I don't know about any comparison to one another. But if the Land Pride is as well buillt as the Bush Hog I don't see how you could go wrong. Good luck on your choice
