Newest addition to our farm: a 42" rotary cutter (bush hog). picked it up Saturday afternoon from Craigslist. I had to cut the pto shaft off but then it was time for a spin. I learned really quickly what "live pto" means. So i will be shopping for a one way clutch very soon. Over all, I am very glad i did not go with a bigger cutter. This one already will lift my front wheels at times.

Nice looking mower...you"ll likely need a bit of weight up front

Yup, the front end gets mighty light when i pick up the bush hog. I have a few pieces of railroad rail at home and i plan to torch a couple holes into it to make a mount. Hopefully that will work. They weigh about 80 lbs each. I think one will do it.

I hated running a rear mount mower on my Beaver, glad I don't have do it anymore.

My Buck does but the 1450 does not. It's a grey 373. Here's a way to test. With the engine OFF, put the pto in gear and see if you can turn it by hand either way. I think if you can spin it clockwise you do have an over running clutch built in.

This one does not have the one way clutch built in. i am thinking of purchasing one but the money is not there right this moment. I do have a PTO Reverser on this one and it may be on the later models they did make that change.
