Finally measured the rear wheel width on my new MX5800. Looks like I'm around 81" at a minimum, so I can go with an 84".
I was a tad surprised on the cost of the units below - I found them a couple hundred cheaper but I had these numbers written down from one local shop.
84" rotary cutters, slip clutch:
Bush Hog BH17 - $3,650
Woods BB84X - $3,900
Brand XYZ??? - $?,???
(I believe this is all without chains.)
Looking at the spec's, they are pretty much the same - I think the Woods is 11ga deck vs 10ga deck on the BH. More focused on tail wheel design at this point.
Either way, I think these are pretty stout units and I won't be using them much in a year.
