Thank you Mr. Eric for your input. Yes this invasive plants are taking over pasture land and this Cogon grass has a blade edge causing injuries to the mouths of cattle. I hope the scotch broom goes away too.

Thank you for your informative advice 👍🏻

Thank you for your valuable advice. I'll do some research on herbicide. Thank you very much 🤝

Brush hogging Cogon grass 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any experience and advice to share rotary brush Hogging cogon grass. I rotary slashed it many times but the grass won't get cut. It's bulletproof and it's very stressful to work. I used a Massey Ferguson 240 Perkins diesel with a 5 rotary cutter I built myself. I...

My apologies for posting on an old thread. I want to share some helpful information that may benefit others in this situation. What I did was to carefully mow the land and mark every tree stumps, buried concrete structure, earth rods, big rocks covered in brush anything that can damage blades or...

Yes I agree on the ground speed PTO advice you shared. Regarding the gearbox increased ratio yes its also good for the crankshaft bearing and pistons to use in less acceleration. Affecting positively for the engine lifespan. I heard the modern Massey Ferguson that are made have an less RMP...

Thank you for your information and sharing your experience. So I better build a 5' dec. I really wish the 135 had a Perkins 4 cylinder sometimes 😅. Thank you once again for your kind response.

One more question Gentleman, The Massey Ferguson 135 Perkins Diesel has a tested PTO of around 35hp what horse power gearbox is suitable? 40hp or 60hp ? My utmost thanks to all who contributed to make this topic educational. Hope this helps others in need. Thank you.

Did the 1:1.69 ratio gearbox work better?

Yes, you are correct as safety must always come first. I am planning to fabricate my own rotary cutter. The 5' rotary cutter doesn't cover the entire tyre tracks so I plan on building a 6' rotary cutter to cover the entire rear tyre track width. I was planning on something like the Medium Duty...

Thank you for your good advice. I'm very grateful to your input on this topic. I shall continue to do more research and learn more. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your kind response. I was thinking of a 5' or 6' size brush hog using blade arms. Yes I agree with you 😊👍 that 1:2.83 is very fast to run on engine PTO operation (A). May I know your opinion on using the 1:2.83 on a rotary cutter using the Ground Speed PTO option (B) to operate.

Has anyone replaced a 1:1.47 ratio brush hog gearbox with a higher ratio 1:1.93 or 1:2.83 ratio. Would this setup help the brush hog to operate under reduced acceleration contributing to fuel economy and more efficiency? Would the 1:2.83 ratio gearbox perform well using the ground speed PTO? The...
