I have been on a search for a good used 4 ft. rotary cutter( Bushhog )
seems as though this size is hard to come by used, or at least no one is wanting to get rid of theirs, anyway! I have came accross several 5-6 ft cutters, at resonable price some might need sheet metal work etc,etc,
My question is...... -----> can one cut a 5 ft bush hog down to a 4 ft box and replace the blades with that of a 4 ft cutter? I have the tools to do this and I'm sure it would turn out OK, my only concern is, would the gear box be ok for smaller Hp tractor, Such as a 22 hp, my tractor has 3 speed PTO I've been told to only use a 4 ft.
I've never used a cutter with this tractor, although the 4 ft. cutter I sold with my compact Kubota was perfect match for that 18 hp tractor,
(((thanks for any advice)))
