I am trying to procure a cheap 5ft hog to use behind my ym2000 when there is the power to spare to run it. this would be in grass that is not too tall. In shorter grass i think the power is there for the larger mower over the 4fter i run. Much of my fields are junk and weeds and not thick grass and unless there 2 months or more of growth the 4fter can easily spin through it with even duller than bush hog blades should be.

When I bought my tractor it came with a 36" Howse rotary cutter so they are out there.

I have ym165d, and I bought it from my neighbor with a 48" trailblazers rotary cutter. I have no problem with my 16 hp tractor using it. It my not lift it as high as I would like, but no problem mowing
There are probably some people out there that would tell you to get a common 6 ft mower and remove one of the blades. Someone like the store clerk that suggested I use two 1/4x2 inch bolts instead of the one 1/2x2 inch bolt they didn't have.

Totally unrelated to the Original question but to the tangent were on now.
Was in Home Depot and asked if they had grease fittings/zerks. First lady asked what there used on...i was caught so offgaurd as there on everything. I said machinery, tractors, implements, lawnmowers, cars...lots of stuff. she said go to mowers. I went there thinking if they had them they would be in the hardware drawers. Go to lawn section as the guys there and they said go the the hardware section. Go back see 2 other guys and they said automotive section after explainging what they are??? At this point i am pretty sure they dont have them. In the small automotive section they keep pointing out grease and grease guns!!! I said no i need the fittings those hook too???? (i had to get something else i did not go to HD looking for just grease fittings)
Long story short i got them at Orielys. were like $7 a package!!!!! i was like i ought to just replace the u joint for that price!! but i did not want to replace one and all the banging!
