The first bush hog we had was a Bush Hog (brand). Now I have a Woods bush hog. You can't teach THIS old dawg new tricks. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I'm with you. Bush hog is the proper term in these here parts. Although you do hear the term brush hog quite a bit. The first time I heard the term shredder, I thought, what the hey is that /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Where I come from, a shredder is what crooked polititians run their papers through just before the FBI shows up at the door.

Yeh, and when somebody says "shredder" I don't know if they mean a b(r)ush hog or an orchard/vineyard shredder ... big difference

Bush Hog is the first company to make a rotary cutter, thats why it is used universally.

A shredder is for politicians and a rotary cutter is a blender.

How far does that date too? I have vintage ford literature from the late 40's / early 50's showing a fixed rotary cutter attatchment for the ford N series. was more or less a fixed blade that mounted on to the optional pto mounted belt pulley flat face, rotated to face down.. no guards.. no safety.. no frills.. just a 3' or so piece of spinning metal a couple feet behind the operator /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. Deffinately qualifies as a rotary cutter in my book.. if not a horribly dangerous iteration of one!!!
