Rotary Cutter 6ft Rotary cutter weight

[chili]

Does anybody know the approximate wieght of a 6 foot heavy duty rotary cutter? I need to haul a MF To 35 tractor and possibly the Rotary cutter if the wieght is not to much.

The weight depends on how heavy duty it is and what options it has. For rough numbers, the Worksaver round back medium duty (8-guage deck) with no chain guard and no slip clutch is listed at 555 lb. Very bulky to lift and move!

It all depends.. the Woods BB600 is a 5ft medium duty.. weighting in at over 1000+ lbs.

I have a Woods BB72, which is a 6' standard duty. It weighs 702#.

I have a 6' HOWSE. My dealer told me it weighs about 800 lbs.

I have a Woods BB720 and it is very heavy, I believe over 1200lbs. My farmall 656 finds it a lil stout for weight but power wise it is no problem.

I've got the BB840. It tips the scales at around 1500lbs with saftey chains. Built like a brick outhouse.

My heavy duty 6 ft. Landpride with a slip clutch is 1100 lbs.

My Taylor Way series 270 heavy duty 5 ft. with slip clutch weighs 875 lbs.. It all depends on the construction of the brush cutter.

Well, some of those cutters might make steering my little 'ol JD 970 kinda like turning on my pond this time of year... Real wide with alot of drift.
Nevertheless, my question to the mower owner's in the crowd is; what are the diffences between a flail mower, a brush hog type mower, a rotary cutter and a finish mower?
I'd like to buy a mower to mow the grass, small brush, etc. that grows up under our electric fence lines. In addition, I'd like to maybe mow the right-of-way lines under the power lines on my property and get rid of some of the brush and get the grass to fill in more of those areas. The fence tape is probably 2 feet off the ground around the pasture, so there's some clearance to maneuver a mower under but I don't really know what type of mower would best fit my needs.
When I was a kid, the only mowers (including windrowers) that I was familiar with had a sickle with replaceable blade sections and guards. Even the highway department used sickle mowers. Many of 'em had the old wooden pitman shaft. So, I've got pretty dated ideas about mower technology. Feedback appreciated. AKfish
