A guy down the road is moving and selling all his tractor stuff.
He has a Woods MD 160 rotary cutter for $1k, could probably
deal and get it for $900. Would you jump on this?
My situation: Kubota 2910, would need the cutter for clearing
undergrowth and trails through my woods, so the 2" capacity
would be a big plus. The 160 has chain guards, slip clutch,
and laminated tailwheel. Not sure if it has a stump jumper
(this was an option).
I was planning on buying a BB60 in the spring but this might
be my best shot at an MD cutter. I know Glennmac is running
one on a 2910. No way would I feel comfortable with a BB600
(>1000 lbs) on a 2910. I really like the design of the BB60
and am wondering whether the 3/8" x 3" blades on the BB60
might not do almost as well on thick brush as the 3/8" x 4"
blades on the MD 160.
So my Q is: MD160 now or BB60 in the spring? For anyone
who has cut brush with a BB60, what is the thickest stuff
you have gone through?
This guy also has a JD 770 with loader, asking $12,900, and
a 3PH tiller with about 2 hours on it, asking $1400. Email me
(see profile) if interested for contact info. This is southern NH.
