Price Check Bobcat CT225 Bushhog question!

I run a 5’ brushhog without any problems. Only when I hit a dirt mound does it get bogged down. Operator error.... :shocked:

Thanks guys.
I ran it last nite, with the Diamond on the tack setting.
Ran GREAT.
MIDRANGE. Flat pasture.
I LOVE it!
Should have got one 10 yrs ago.
I trim my horse pasture grass down to 8".
For root growth.
Thanks again
Terry

Sorry to say this - BUT - You can not cut hay with a brush hog type mower. What comes out the back will be mush and will never dry to bale, even if you tedd it. However you can easily run a 170 width drum mower which is great for hay cutting. Noe running a sickle mower takes patience, finesse and luck, which I don't have. My IH 1300 will work sometimes and sometimes not, especially if it is windy. Good luck.

Thank u! I used my neighbor ladys bushog on her back 20 acres last summer.
I don't bale, just free load on my trailer, throw in a horse feeder.
Let horses eat away.
Worked great!
I just have 3-4acres. Doesnt justify the high dollar equipment.
Mounted an old horse drawn hay rake on back 3 point to tedder it.
So far so good!
Thanks for ur input!

Will my 27hp CT225 run a 5' bushog?
Looking at buying one.
Width on tractor is 56"
Thanks Terry

Probably. My CT235 can run an 80" ground engaging tiller. 1080lbs and were 80% clay. I've tilled through the grass without issue.

Abou the same over here near Hannibal MO. Only going to be 89 today though. Probably the humidity will be the same. Going to try and start early on brush hogging today. Finally dry enough to take the tractor out.
