Hey Guys-
Reading through craigslist last night I came across a local individual selling a 5' Woods Cadet 60 rotary mower for $200. I thought this was a pretty good price, so I went to take a look at it today. It had alot of rust, in some places the shell was rusted through, but the blades and gear box were in good shape and the mower operated and cut well.
Seeing as this is my first 3pt attachment for my B7800, I just want to make sure this Woods 5' brush hog is a good fit for my tractor (too big? too small?) I will be using it mostly to cut down about 2-3 acres of fields which I let grow to about chest height before cutting down. I do this about 3-4 times a year. Previous to buying this mower, I had a guy w/ a skid steer come in an do it and he charged me $250 a visit so this mower could potentially save me a good amount of cash. Is the Woods Cadet a good mower to use for this purpose?
The mower looks alot like this one;
Thanks,
Z
