I picked up a 5 foot rotary cutter from Craigslist for $75 this week. Can anyone identify it? It appears that it was orange at one time, then it was repainted red.
I have been using it behind the B7500. It is a little too much mower in the heavy stuff, but it works. Once we get a longer PTO shaft we will put it behind the L3830.

Why was it $75? The previous owner got it with a MF 135 and already had a 10' dual spindle cutter. When I got it, the rear wheel was locked up due to rusted bearings. It now has new bearings and a retainer clip to hold the PTO shaft on if it breaks a shearpin. It still needs the top replaced, but that will be happening soon. Last year, the fab shop across the road asked if we could mow his field. We didn't have a bushhog, so I said no then. Now that we have a bushhog, I will be mowing it in exchange for him replacing the "tin" on the mower, lengthening the PTO shaft and adding chain guards to it (front and rear).
Works out well for all involved.
