MX5400. What brush cutter size? 60" or 72"?

Only Titan product is my forks...no County Line or King Cutter equipment. Everything else is Woods, Rhino, Land Pride (pre Kubota ownership) or EA.

Go for the Woods...you'll cry once when you buy it - but it should hold its value.

Assume you are planning for 10 years use, not 1 year. Figure out the difference in cost divided over 10 years. It will be very, very small...

Tractor implement are long-term investments...invest in the best you can find. In the long run, it pays off in reduced maintenance, faster job completion, extended durability and pure satisfaction from using a quality tool.

Life is too short to use junk....(not saying Titan is junk) but it's not on the same level as the Woods...or Rhino...or higher-end LandPride...or Brown...or...

(in my opinion of course, with deference to any Titan owner!)

At 1200 lbs that titan looks pretty heavy duty. Also has 100 hp gearbox. There are some reviews on you tube,

once you get your desired setup, get a 6+cfm compressor & hd impact, & be prepared to pull the knives a few times per season. i never advise crawling under to sharpen, your choice... people sometimes forget blade cond when looking for quality cuts after paying for all that equip. i like hd blocks vs jack stands, etc, regards

I like removing the blades to sharpen for one single reason only.....

.....when I HAVE to remove a blade for some reason, like bent or broken, I KNOW it will come off without fuss.

Not titan attachments. Titan implements, just to clarify.

Brown cutters are a 16 week delivery time

When I was considering a cutter - Rhino TW35. About 99% of the cutter use would be backing into light brush - Buck brush. Average - 2.5 feet high - diameter of your yellow lead pencil.

The Rhino TW series has a heavily reinforced tail wheel. Then two weeks ago I checked on the price. It's gone up about $1200 since I checked last year. It's not that critical that I should spend that much.

I also considered the Brown 415. But I want a dealer that is local when I spend that much money.

Having a 4" rated cutter is reassuring.

I dont know anyone with a tractor that is intentionally gonna try and run over 4" saplings. But when clearing along fencerows or field edges....you never know whats hiding. If a tree has come down, or a broken fence post, or chunk of wood you didnt see.

The 4" will handle alot more abuse than a 2" rated cutter.

That’s true to the point where the tractor gets damaged instead of the cutter. Properly maintained slip clutch or shear bolts are the best way to not tear stuff up.

72” for sure. A 60” cutter won’t cover your rear wheels width. A 72” just covers my wheels on my MX6000 with R4s set to maximum width.

A 72” just covers my wheels on my MX6000 with R4s set to maximum width.

What's the tread width at that setting? On my L4701 it's 70" from outside of tread on the second widest setting -- I had them set it there as it seemed the widest setting (another 4.5" wider) would put the tread wider than 72".
