JimRB (or any one else with a JD 870 or similar tractor!): What are you running for a bush hog behind your JD 870? I ask because I'm in the market for a bush hog and I have the same tractor. I'm looking at a Bush Hog 295 - I know it's a bit heavy duty for my 870 but I want something that will last. I'm currently running a Caroni TM1900 flail mower behind it (that's also a bit big for my tractor but it seems to handle it ok) but need/want a bush hog to take down some (lots, actually!) 2-3" sapplings. I know a Bush Hog Squealer would be a better fit for my JD 870 (28 hp/25 PTO) but really would like the heavier duty Bush Hog 295 model. I also like the medium duty Woods BB600 but I think thats about 150 lbs. heavier then the medium duty Bush Hog 295! Normally, heavier is better but not when you're limited by your tractor size!!!
