Anyone see any problems with this set up. Found a used brushed hog which is affordable but want to make sure it fits and will work well. I have the 3pt hitch already? Any advice is appreciated.

From what I see it looks like it will not work at all or will do a fantastic job.
Your tractor should be 44.5 inches wide and with almost 18 PTO HP, you'd have no problems at all with a 48" brush cutter. Just remember that they cut best when the front of the cutter is a little lower than the back.
I've been running a 48" cutter on my B6100 for years and as long as the weeds/brush aren't much higher than the hood, it does well, really well.

I have a squealer SQ480 on my BX25. It works fine, but can get overwhelmed and stall the tractor when it hits certain stuff I shouldn't be running over. Keep the front lower than the back and the top link loose so it follows the ground better.

Thanks for the advice. Got it working today...After some fighting. It worked like a champ. Lot of fun too.

just make sure the nuts holding the blades are tight the torque is high 450 lbs and the blades swing free Paul

I am wondering if a Kubota BX25 w/42" brush hog would do well in 5"-6" grass and weeds. Thinking of buying a 42" brush hog but not if a 17HP diesel won't pull it at a reasonable pace without stalling. Never run a brush hog before, I could use some advice. Thanks!

Go on YouTube, a guy is running a 48" cutter on a BX24. Looked like he was doing pretty good.
