Rotary Cutter Need Help Identifying New to Me cutter

johnwllms309 · Feb 23, 2016

Hello all,
I have only posted a few times and thanks to everyone that replied. I recently acquired a rotary cutter/ brush hog with no tags/ stickers or anything identifying the brand. So far I don't really need anything other than a maybe a gear box seal( after using it saw some oil on bottom of output shaft) and maybe blades later just want to know more about it.

I bought it at a dealer in Lithonia GA all they could tell me is it came from a county department which I can't remember the name.

Thanks
John

Looks well made, don't know the brand.

Check that the gearbox vent is working.

Buy some corn head grease, or NLGI grade 0 (zero) grease and you won't have to replace the seal.

Thanks for the information I just want to prolong replacing the seal for little awhile at least until the wife gets over my recent "tool" acquisitions including this cutter.

Looks heavy duty.

Yeh it's a monster looks like 1/4" plate top not sure about the sides, some of the angle iron looks like 3/8" or larger, and the main angled supports look like 1/2" or larger. Found a vid on you tube with one exactly like it I am going to see if maybe he know's the brand.

I am new to tractors it has a pretty good bit of vibration especially at low RPM is this normal?
Are the blades generic enough just to match another brand?

Thanks
John
