If you have a friend with a utility trailer, or even a pickup truck (with a bed liner!), you might be able to get a 5 ft. cutter home cheaper than hiring a hauling company or wrecker. My stuff is all six-ft, so the truck is out. When I haul my Kioti tractor, I have the local wrecker do it, but it isn't cheap. I'm saving up for a 10k or 12k trailer to give me the illusion of saving money when I move the equipment.
It sounds like you are on a steep learning curve.
Good luck.

TK are you retired or do you work? The reason i ask is see if any coworkers have a trailer and can help you out, say for $20 bucks a cooked dinner etc. If retired and you dont work , do you have any friends with even a 4x8 utility trailer, the place could load it for you and when home you could chain it to a tree or the tractor and just drive the trailer out from under it. Can you call one of your husbands old friends and see which may have trailers im sure they will be sympathetic and help you.

there is a place in Chesapeake on 168 but they do not deliver....have you ever? like I can put this 5 foot hunk of metal in my car and take it home, what are they thinking...you know someone who sells and dellivers?

Go to home depot rent their truck. or go to uhall and get a rental truck.
Then drive to TSC or were ever new piece is.
Have them put in bed of rental truck back drive home back up to a hill and pull it off with your tractor and a couple of 2x8 spanning the gap.
Hook mower to your tractor and make sure it works.
Return truck.

or wait at "tsc" and look for some one to pull in with a pick up and or trailer and ask what it would coat for them to deliver it.

If you have not bought the cutter yet, look around for a tractor dealership. All here will deliver might be a fee but should be reasonable. Also they can come to you if warranty issue. Price is not that much different.

If you have bought it from such as Tractor supply you can be sure they have others who can not haul what they bought and they know people who will haul for fee.

Is it too far to just drive the tractor down there?

hawk i thought about that but it sounds like this may be near a larger town where she may not feel comfortable driving around other cars etc.

Let me get this straight.. you're going to spend the price of a new brush cutter, and they won't/can't deliver ?? If they were a hundred miles away, I could see a problem, but if it's only a few miles (less than 20) you should be shopping somewhere else.

Most will deliver out of common courtesy to a customer, especially a new female customer, which in the tractor business has to be like finding a hen's tooth under a four leaf clover.

I try to make delivery part of the deal, if they won't, it's their loss.

I have the same problem. Lookm what I found Brush hog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems my blades are to sharp, I will try this as nothing else worked.

I'm having a similar problem with my brush hog not cutting...I will try jacking it up and see if the blades are stuck. Wonder if that could cause it to not raise or lower the mowing heighth as well? I'm new to this and need to cut our pastures before we get any substantial rain. But I might need some more help if that doesn't work...
