Rear Finish Mower Bought a new (to me) Bush Hog Finish mower today

Seems to be a real heavy duty unit. Much better than the King Kutter I'm currently using. The gearbox was full of clean oil. As soon as this heat wave breaks, I'll grease her up and do some mowing. Sorry about the blurry pics, it's so muggy here that the camera lens fogged up! Oh, the next time I go to haul a mower like this, I'll take my trailer, it's a little to big for a pickup box!

Looks good, from what little I can see of it lol. Hope you get lots of good use out of it, which I'm sure you will. Just curious, but how did you get that loaded into a pickup bed? I hope the seller had a FEL to load it with?

Yeah he did, the trailer would have been much better tough.

Looks good. I picked up a 5' Bush Hog Finishing Mower a couple of years ago. Fellow wanted $1200 and it was only a couple of years old and was in very good condition...store inside and clean when not used. Only thing I've ever done is just change out the blades and greased. Oh yes, I got it for $900.

I smile every time I use it on the front 10 acres that are smooth cutting. Guy loaded it in the back of my F150 with his skid steer and it was heavy.
