OK... Let's see if I can do this in a cohesive/succinct/complete/factual manner...

1. The order for TWO (additional) EA implements (62" gear-drive Roto-Tiller/60" 75HP Rotary-Cutter/Bush-Hog) was submitted 02/23/18 at 1133 hrs. and it was delivered today/3/23/18 at 1330 hrs...

2. Delivery was relatively uneventful with excellent coordination between OEM/Carrier/Destination (rural Central Florida farm)... This is my second farm-delivery of implements (2 each) and EA is using good/excellent carriers... With minimal scratches/dings, great communication, very competent/helpful drivers/support-staff...

3. I have not had a chance to use either new implement...

4. The new EA 60" 75 HP rotary-cutter/bush-hog appears to be a BEAST... The construction/materials/paint-finish is everything I was told it would be... I am unable to make a final connection/working-demonstration today due to time constraints and a small issue with my Land Pride Quick Hitch Model 15 floating-top-link connection (apparently I need a kit/adapter)... My tractor is a KUBOTA 4701DT and it is capable of handling a 6' rotary-cutter but I ordered this beefed-up 5' EA model because of the overall/outside dimensions (wanting to keep them within the 6' range)... I am clearing/maintain boundaries/fences and do not want to go beyond the width of my tractor/rear wheels even if the rotary-cutter does not mow all the way to the line/fence... I have seen too many snagged field-fences that are not fun to mend in the Central Florida Summer sun/humidity... I get as close as my back wheels and let my friend Herbie (herbicide) do the rest...

I will be posting more info/pics when I get this rig fully connected/running...

It may be the way the picture is but it looks like the chains are a little short to me. I am interested in the 6 ft model so I am tuned also. Nice setup good luck.

Looks like it has “ Landshark” on it. That another name for EA brand or what?

Chains do look short compared to others I’ve seen. Land shark is EA new line of implements.

I did all the preliminary/necessary connecting/adjusting-fitting-leveling/lubricating/greasing today... Awaiting a Land Pride Floating Top-Link Kit for my QH15 ("The EA rotary-cutter has a rigid 3-point-hitch-frame where some others have an articulating top-link… My LP-QH15 requires a floating-top-link installed on either the quick-attach QH15 3-point hitch top-link or as an integral articulating member of the rotary-cutter frame… So, I am unable to fully connect/utilize the EA rotary-cutter until I receive/install the proper ‘Land Pride QH15 Floating Top Link Kit’ [ordered from Messick’s Sat. 24 Mar. $37.00 including s/h"])… I will be sure to post some action shots when they happen (prolly mid-week)... As for the appearance of the front/rear chain-guards being a tad short, I made some adjustments to lower them a full 1/4" but predicting they are going to allow good/excellent relief of cut debris while affording the necessary protection ("The rotary-cutter chain guards now hang approx. ¼” lower and some may find them [still] slightly short but I am going-out-on-a-limb to say they will be fine… When I get this rig churning-out-meaningful-work I am predicting that the shorter chains will BETTER allow the cut debris to exit/effluent/exhaust")... The new 60" roto-tiller required some assembly of the 3-point-hitch-framework and the usual lubrication/grease... It too is ready to rumble... Stay tuned...
