I have been looking for a used Brush hog mower to use in maintaining ATV trails through the woods on my 20 acres. I already have a 6' finish mower I use around the house.
What are the key things to look at on a used mower like this?
I would think the main thing to check would be the gearbox. But how or what can be checked on it?
My brother has found an older 5' Case but it is pretty rough. The skirt needs replaced but that is about it. For $150 it may be worth refurbishing. A little work on it does not bother me. It helps to hone the welding skills.
Thanks
James
