Rotary Cutter Woods or Landpride rotary brush cutter

[BJN644]

The same dealer sells both brands and recommends either one. The Landpride on paper looks just a tad better. I wish I had a few more comments on the quick change blade setup Woods has because that is steering me towards that mower. and it's $50 cheaper. Thanks for all who have commented, keep it coming.

I own a woods 72" cutter and it's been rock solid. If I had to choose between the two options you put forth I would go with the Landpride due to it's thicker blades. These things take one he!! of a beating and 3/8" blades just would not be up to the task IMHO.

I have the woods 60" brush bull and its been great. And I've used it hard cutting forest scrub. Mine probably doesn't have the quick change, but I've never even looked.

From what I've heard on here the landpride is probably also great. I don't think you'd go wrong with either.

Oh, the woods cut isn't that pretty on grass, but hey, its a brush hog...

I mow commercially with my Woods brush bull and it's a great mower. I looked at the LP units before I picked up the Woods. The LP was more money and seemed lighter duty.

Saying goodbye to my 2007 Woods Brush Bull (BB60C)…. Woods are great implements… but these had a design flaw… the deck under side had reinforcing sleepers that hung down about 2 inches below deck…. Causing gear box shaft to extend down extra 2 to clear… this extra length in the shaft made it sensitive to any out of balance… and it ate the lower bearings…. I planned to rebuild… but Woods stopped making the gear box and made some conversion kit (very expensive)…. My RD7200 Woods has been much better with spindle rebuild and bearing kits easily purchased…. I like Woods…. But I’ve paid the price for their engineering mistake on the older Brush Bull…. Newer models fixed this… Good luck….

Get a Brown rotary cutter, best you can buy

You have to read the specs. They all build several different models, you can buy a $1500 LP or a $3500 LP. Is the difference in construction worth it???? who knows!

We have a Tractor Supply 72 inch that has been abused for 30 years and still works. And a Land Pride twin screw 8 foot HD that is hell for stout, cost more than the farm did in 1948.

How about the Rhino brand?????

I really MUCH prefer the Woods system to hold the blades on, I have three of them, and they are GREAT cutters.

It probably depends on what you are cutting, but keep this in mind. I have a landpride 72" cutter power by a 50hp tractor. When I get into the thick stuff or even just have the mower low it can bog down. My cutter has a rubber guard in the front and solid metal in the rear. I don't think it gets enough airflow to push out the cut material the way it is set up. I have raised the wheel and it cuts better if it is tipped forward a bit, but even mowing long grass it builds up with no where to go. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get one with chains front/back to allow it to for better flow of material through the cutter. Had an old 5' King Kutter with no safety and never had an issue with a 23hp tractor unless I was mowing stuff 8' tall.

The instructions on our 8ft Land Pride says the front should be 1 -2 inches lower than back, so you don't cut the material twice. We run everything, except the finish mower, that way.
