Modern Ag. they are made of heavy 7 gauge steel, then galvanzied. they are really heavy duty and you get a ten year rust warranty becuase it is galvanized, and 5 year gearbox warranty. we sell a bunch of them. the cities and municipalities, really like them too. you can get a 15 foot bat wing for $12,250. THey are made in Texas

I make a living off of batwing mowers. My personal preference is the Bush Hog 2715L.

Many farmers say Schulte is the best. Schulte Industries Lots of people like Bush hog, which is very good. I have a 15' JD HX and no complaints, however the price of my used JD was too good to pass.

NO... Each has their own exclusive designs. Each brand has models that cater to specific job needs. There are multitudes of "duty rating" levels within each brand.

I got a Woods (used) at an auction that was consigned by a local county gov. It didn't give me any trouble.

Glad you like it.:thumbsup: They seem to be a top choice for people cutting the roads ROW's, so they got to be tuff. They have a good resale value also.

I've been lookin for a good, used 2715/2615 with airplane tires. But I need to find some $$$ first.:laughing:

Just picked up a Woods medium duty 180 15' batwing. Haven't had the chance to use it yet since nothing needs cutting, but my 62PTO HP tractor spins it up no problem!
I wanted a bush hog, but they're too proud of them up here!
