I bush-hog the edges of my hay fields to keep all the brush back but I have lost some ground over the years. I've always thought that it would be great to have my cutter offset a foot or so beyond the edge of my tire. This would be great for me in two ways:
1. it would allow me and my tractor to stay out of the pickers/branches yet still cut further off the edge of the field.
2. I have some drainage ditches along my driveway and in other various locations on the property. Offsetting the cutter would allow me to drive along the ditch edge and the cutter could overhang the ditch allowing me to cut the weeds right up the the edge.
So, I found that several rotary cutter manufacturers offer an offset mount as an option and that has gotten me to thinking about one for mysel but I have some questions:
1. Does anyone here use an offset mount? If so, what brand(s)?
2. How much offset can you get out of it?
3. Can you easily switch betwenn offset and regular mounting?
Thanks for the help!
