Have been looking for a good used rotary cutter lately and finally found one that was worth my while. It is a Woods 208-2 8' pulled unit. It does need a little bit of work here and there such as the hydraulic hose stand off snapped off, but I have already welded a new on, just do not have pics of that yet. These were taken after I unloaded it and backed it into one of the bays for closer inspection.
Which showed that the gear boxes have no leaks, it is missing the rear chain guards (it has the brackets, just no chains and holder rod), and it is missing the transport lock. But all in all I just couldn't pass up a solid 8' pulled cutter for just over 2k when new ones are going for 4K+ in my area.
And also as a note of interest, the previous owner, a waste water management plant, did quite a bit of modification. They added a second wheel on each side and welded quite a bit of gusseting on any area where stress could become an issue. I'll take some close pictures with a camera instead of my phone if anyone is interested. Over all I am quite pleased.
And of course my barn and shop buddy kept the seat warm for me as I worked
