A couple of our local dealers carry the Bush Hog line of tillers, cutters, etc. I have a BH 5' rotary cutter and have been well pleased with it.
Has anyone here bot/used a BH tiller? Anybody know who makes them for BH? Any opinions/comments would be appreciated.

I used a Bush Hog RTS40 for about 7 years and used it hard and more frequently than most folks use one, and never had any problem with it at all. If I were buying a new one now, I'd probably try one of the cheaper brands, but if the price were the same, Bush Hog would be my first choice. I also have a cousin who uses and abuses his RTS60 (or is it an RTS62?; I'm not sure).

Bush Hog RTS tillers are made by Maletti from Italy. Also Woods, Kubota, New Holland and many other private lable brands are made by Maletti.

We have used a RTS 50 for several years now with no problems. We are at the base of a mountain and are constantly turning up small boulders and as of yet have not had a broken tine or shear pin. Co-worker bought a RTS 60(?) based on our experiences and has not had any complaints. The main reason we went with the Bush Hog was the number of dealers in the area and previous experience with their products. We have one of their brush cutters, and had one of their loaders on a previous tractor. We never had any problems that weren’t self inflicted, and were always able to find maintenance parts.

Thanks for the replys, guys. Thats some good information. These tillers all look nice and shiny sittin' on the dealers lot but I am interested in how people liked 'em after they got dirty! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
