Tires Caster wheel option for brush hog

[RegL]

Don't know why it took me so long. Since I bought the PT1430 in 2003, I cursed every time I was field mowing with the brush mower because caster wheels were to small and the mower cut to short and used to much HP. The other day I happened to notice that my power rake, that I use once or twice a year and is stored out back in the weeds, has two nice taller and wider caster forks and wheels. And they just happen to fit the brush hog. I only mowed for about an hour with them but they worked great. PT should supply the brush hog with these wheels in stead of those crappy little ones.

My brush hog only has one caster wheel.


But it is big and works good :thumbsup:.

Hmmm... I may have to make that request if/when I order a 1430 myself...!

Thanks for sharing,

Nice rig. I could like a cab like that. The PT brushhog oscillates side to side so it would be kind of floppy with one wheel

Those Tree Terminators look awesome. I love the blades.

All the best,

The mower works as good as it looks, :thumbsup:.

I think they do. I bought my brush hog last year, and my caster wheel looks just like yours.

Nope, they are different sizes. Yours is narrower. I rotated them so its easier to do a side by side...

Not only narrower. Also smaller diameter and forks are shorter. Raised the deck about 2or 3 inches with the power rake wheels.
