I bought a Dirt Dog 4' rotary cutter last winter based on my limited research in an attempt to find a "heavy-duty" 4' rotary cutter. My purpose for the purchase is essentially the same as yours, specifically, to use behind a light tractor in restricted food plots and narrow hunt property roads...

If there is oil on the dipstick but no oil pressure, my uneducated guess is the oil pump failed. I don't know enough to offer valuable mechanical advice but check the oil filter in hopes it has failed or the intake or supply side plumbing is somehow clogged. Good luck, I wish I could help.

I just traded a UTV that was in the shop three times since I bought it in June of last year. I spoke to the shop manager when I dropped it off the last time and it didn't seem to me that he was confident there would be a satisfactory resolution to the problem. There were also a couple of very...

Earlier today, I ordered a pair of JU Fabworks tie downs for a Kubota LX2610SU since I don't wish to gripe down chains or straps over the front end loader bucket or grapple. It may have been wiser to pose this question before I placed the order but do any forum members have experience with this...

If the cans were capped and under a tarp, it seems quite probable that water did not get into the cans. 8 month old diesel is still good, I personally would use it without great concerns.

There may be some life left in the old bush hog yet. Good luck.

I would worry more about the gearbox than the blades. Before I used it, I would try to tighten the blades but also, change the gearbox oil.

Not what I wanted to hear but the advice is useful. Thanks - Hamish

I don't own a 3pt rotary tiller and I don't want to buy one now. I speculate they are in excess of $2K now, probably more. Plus, the rare baseball sized rock would do it no favors. Thanks for the idea, it would make life more simple.

Generally, established food plots. No stumps and no large rocks. Over the years, I have removed the really large rocks and now, when I find one that is baseball sized, it is a rarity. However, I sold two out of three hunt properties this year (my reason for downsizing equipment) but I think I...

True.

Probably not much more than 6 to 8 inches since the seeds (oats most often) are spread on top of the food plot after ripping and discing. I use a poor man's cultipacker (an 8' 6X6 with chains) to smooth the ground before distributing the seed, fertilizer and lime in a 3 point rotary spreader...

The Kubota has ballast in the rear tires but it has industrial tires rather than ag tires. I fear this may not work in my favor.

Any ideas of a minimum horsepower requirement for a single point subsoiler in hard clay? Is a 24 HP Kubota LSX2510SU sufficient? The red clay in my area can get hard as a rock when it doesn't see rain and without someway to rip the soil, using a disc harrow, especially a light weight disc...

Have. Photo or two of the rotary cutter available and call Bush Hog and ask for their assistance.
