Bush Hog Brand Cutter

[ehenry]

All, I came across a smaller 42" rotary cutter that appears to be in excellent shape. I'm not sure of the age but the metal decking and sides are not beat up or rusted at all. There doesn't appear to be any leakage of the gear box where pto shaft connects. At the time I couldn't look underneath the cutter. Bush Hog brand has always been known to be good equipment in this area. The gentleman is asking $300 for the little cutter. I'm not looking to cut acres and acres with this cutter only trails and small food plots. I'll be using behind a BX22. I've only found two or 3 48" cutters on the web to compare prices and they are all in the $800+.

Any opinions?

How wide is your BX22? It would be nice to have the cutter be at least as wide as your tractor. But if not, it would be hard to pass up the 42" cutter at that price.

I didn't know that Bush Hog made a 42" rotary mower, I knew that Woods made a 42" mower and maybe there are some other brands, I just didn't know about the Bush Hog. If it is in the condition that you say, it sounds like a steal, as the old saying goes, you better strike while the iron is hot. Good luck.

I've left a voice mail and have text the guy. The lettering on the deck I want say said LQ42 or LO42 I cant be sure. I've searched BH's site and that model does not come up. Does anyone one know if there are any Bush Hog knockoff's?

I was just looking at the discontinued cutter manuals and such. I see a model SQ420 and they did make one that was 42".

The older Bush Hogs may be higher quality than today's Bush Hogs. The manufacturing plant and brand has been sold repeatedly in the last few years.

BUY IT.

Used to have a Bushhog 42" mower. Used it with a New Holland TZ25 sub compact. Model number was SQ420, did a very good job with this combo. Believe I paid 550.00 new for it in 2005. 300.00 sounds like a reasonable price.

Alrighty Ya'll.......I went and picked it up. Got it for $250. Its a Bush Hog SQ420 squealer. It uses a shear bolt and not a clutch and it doesn't have a stump jumper. Not having the stump jumper is how I got him down to $250. I haven't gotten it hooked to a tractor yet but here is a couple pics.
