Woods GB60/BSS60 (apparently the BSS is the new model)
Land Pride BB2560
Bush Hog SBX60

Thanks

I have a Woods GB72 and it is a animal. I highly recommend the woods brand.

Really nice welds and well put together. Easy to get the scarifiers off. Easy to hook up; works flawless with the quickhitch.

Looking at Woods website, I didn't find a BSS60, but did find a BSE5. It is a lighter duty model at 351 # than the GB60 at 495 #.

Thanks for the advice Matt

Green- I called around price checking the Woods and a dealer told me that BSS60 was a new model replacing the GB. I don't want the lighter duty.

thanks for the input

I have looked at all of them, although the woods was the gb modle. I have a landpride 2566 and after just spending the day today out looking a tractor stuff that this is a much better built bb then the other two.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it and how long ago did you get it? I just looked at a 6' standard duty Modern Dragon brand today and was quoted a price of $1010.00 before tax. It is a nice BB similar in design to the Cammond, but they are proud of them.

I have a United 60" box scrape that I have had no problems with. It is built very well. I purchased it used for $250.

I think is was like 1200.00 purchased in 05. it is heavy and well built, two guys I work with also have this model in 72" they use behind Grand L 4330's.

You are gonna pay for the heavy duty units, I do recommend a hydraulic one if you plan on using it alot.

Oh yea they will also paint it whatever tractor color you want.

All three you have listed are very similar. All are very good too. There are better and heavier units, but if you don't need that then any of the ones you have listed would work fine for you. I've read that Bushhog has been struggling of late. So, why not help them out and buy that one.

i own the standard duty kodiak. and it's a great tool. i know and have used winchers bb and it is heavier and built more stout, at a price though. you need to evaluate you're needs and figure out if you need the sd,md or hd models.

I have an Armstrong Ag BB. Pretty heavy duty.

I had a KK 6ft. I lent it to my brother, he spent a summer working over about 10 acres reshaping and regrading with a category II tractor. Other than having to replace the bent category I pins, it came out unscathed.

If it is made out of thick steel and has good welds, I'm not sure brand name matters that much.

 

[riversedge]

Well thanks everyone, I picked up the Bushhog this week. Best quote was $675- They had one from 2007 that still hadn't sold. Got that at the 2007 price $450.

 

[JMynes]

You got a good deal!

 

[riversedge]

Yeah and I like that the easiest person and best price was the guy that was the closest!
