I'm looking for a brush hog and was planning to get a cheaper new one, 5' International w/ slip clutch for 550 dollars. Then last night a friend showed me his 5' woods M150 (1992 model) that he is wanting to sell. He wanted to ck around before setting a firm price, but thought it would be in the area of 400 dollars. He does have the owners manual for the woods - thats how i found out it was a 1992 model and the brush hog does not look like its been used much. It is too big for the tractor and to hard to change out the mmm so its sat in the barn more than anything. The weight of this one was listed at 475lbs. The new Woods 5' BB units weighed about double that if i remember what the salesman told me right. Paint on the this one isn't bad, but it is really dented in on both sides. don't know what would cause that. My friend is the second owner of this. It came with the tractor which only has 18hp @ pto.
So, what would you all do? Go cheap new or top quality but 10 years old? What would be top dollar for a unit this old?
Any input on International Brush hogs also welcome. Folks here rate it just a notch above KK but it has a slip clutch where the KK doesn't.
Thanks,
