Agri-Fab or King Kutter Rotary?

[robertwhite]

Need an inexpensive Brush Hog to knock down 8 acres or so of open pasture.

One local dealer carries Agri-Fab (Big Red or some such thing) and another fairly local dealer carries King Kutter.

The 6ft KK is around $1K and the Agri-Fab is $900. Both are shear pins.

Any thoughts on either brand? It will only be used a couple times a year and will be taken care of.

Everything I ever had made by AgriFab turned out to be junk

I've had a 6' KK for 7 years or so, and it's worked great. Heavier built than most meadium weight mowers. That poor thing has busted many large rocks and shredded hundreds of saplings that were over 2", and is still going strong. It sat outside the first few years and was rusting at the seams. I replaced the blades and cleaned it up/repainted this past spring. If it ever dies, I will have a hard time justifying anything other than a KK next time.

I agree with ford850,my kk would not die but the deck rusted out.Replaced one lower oil seal in the gear box.

Didn't know agri-fab made anything like a rotary cutter! Anyway, the stuff of theirs that I own would be considered heavy-duty LAWN & GARDEN, but defineatly lightweight for 3-pt tractor equipment. I'd go with the KK if that is your two choices.
