7 Foot Bush Hog

[ovrszd]

Sold it and bought a dual spindle 8 ft Landpride. Cant tell the 8 pulls any harder than the 7 did. its just not as long.

That's what I've always heard as well.

I run this 72 inch Woods,

mostly on a good strong 45 pto hp farm tractor and in heavy grass it's a big load, so I also don't think I'd want a 7 footer on a 43hp tractor...

BTW, that Woods medium rotary cutter has a 115 hp gear box and it's as good or better than any cutter in it's price range! I consider it a better cutter than a Bush Hog or the other common brands in medium duty......

with a 45 hp tractor and an 8 ft twin blade my 6 footer sits idle. get a 6 and you will always wish for the 8.

I run a 7 bft woods rotary cutter behind a mf 255 , the tractor handles it fine even through tall thich stuff. but it is a lot of length sticking out. i wish i had a dual spindle 8 ft. I also run a 6 ft standard duty behind a 38 hp mahindra cutting 5 ft brush no problem.

I have a Hardee with two tailwheels. I didn't shop brands, but this one looked okay at a dealer I liked. I fabbed a door on the back of the deck that I can open to sharpen the blades. With the twin tailwheels, and sharp blades, it will cut almost equal to a finish mower. I wanted one that was a little wider than the rear wheels, for trimming the fenceline, and trails. The twin rear wheels cut down a Lot on scalping.

It's their medium duty cutter, but has the heavy duty gearbox. It's over 20 years old, and has been great.

I keep a 40 gallon tank welded on it, with two pumps. One pump is for the "boomless" boom on the back, that can cover a 30' swath, and the other pump is a higher pressure, but lower flow, for a wand that I keep up by the seat. I have to open a ball valve to use the boom, but the wand can be used with a flip of a switch on the dash for spot spraying.

This stays on the 70 hp tractor during grass season.

Brushhog brand makes a 7ft called a squealer it is 7ft wide but only 5 ft long weighs about the same as a 5ft.it has 2 spendals a total of 4 blades mine is offset to the right about a foot its designed for 30 to 40 hp tractors I love mine it works great

Have a 7' LMC med duty, grass & weeds around the yard are easy to keep trimmed with it. Big thick stuff does not mow well unless going slow.
Got a MX10 last year to speed up keeping trimmed around planted fields & brush cutting in edg of fields. Does not work around the yard.
Either one on 8560 Mahindra but 35hp tractor is a yard mowing machine with LMC 7 footer.
