New Brush Cutter

careyo63 · May 14, 2013

After being out back and looking at the property early this Yr. I decided to get a New to me Bush Hog. I use a Squeeler with the 5103 but it's not going back in there. And when I found this one IMO. Cheap I was back to get it that day. It's a BEAST!!!! and works great behind the 2000 unbelievable how much I've cleared out Clemsonfor. I haven't Stalled out the tractor yet. The only prob. I can't find the manufactuer on it. The only ID. is on the Gear Box. International Technology group. Calsbad CA. Is that the same as International Tractor co???? Or is wally world out of the Question if I would need anything.:laughing:

Nice bush hog, it does look like a beast. I have a really light duty one and i am supprised at what i have cut. It sounds awfull but i have cut suff that i would of though no way! Some of the really big stuff i lift it up and back over the tree and slowly lower it, allowing it to chew it down, while i lean foward and duck out of the way. I really need a cage on the back for stuff like that though!

That looks a lot like the LMC that I bought for my 1700 but, it is 4'. Made by Lowry in Boaz,al

I have an LMC disk thats about a 4.5ft model, its pretty heavy duty compared to other things of similar size, way heavier than leinback or whatever there called.

Mine is almost identical. When (not if) I hit a rock, it shreds it. Ahem. It's the only 'hog I've ever owned....but when properly trimmed, it cuts real close. I've been very happy with it.

It probably is an International, I have the model IM-400 4 ft'r and looks to be made like this one you have and it's a International , and yes very well built, actually one of the best Built I've seen, as I hear it the USA company that made these went under several years ago,

I think I'll get mine hooked up tomorrow and do some clearing

Yeah Guys it works great. Looks just like it in the Pic. DND. thanks. Found it on Hwy.78 from one of the Snell. Britt boys I went to school with. He gave me a great deal on it. 375.00 So far the only thing I had to do to it was shorten the Dr.shaft 10 min. maybe

Dug this up here on TBN, Post No# 8 explains about what happen to the company,
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...at-happened-international-world-agritech.html

The cutter I have was one of the original ( International Technologies/ World Agritech Corp )
as it did have the labels that read the manufacture company name but since has faded off,

I also lucked up on it at a good deal, I got mine from a man who had purchased one of the VN ( Ym2000 ) package deal that came with this brush cutter, I forget how long he had been using the tractor, I think not more than 1 year when the tractors engine failed and he parted it out and put the cutter up for sale on CL 200, Luckely I was the first to inquire and he was only 20 minutes away,
when I got there I was surprized to see it had no signs of being used, he told me he may have used it 2 times, If you remember at the time I was rebuilding another cutter, I paid 150 for it and it was badly beaten up, So I cut it down from a 5 ft making it into a 4 ft,
I went ahead and finish that cutter and sold it for 300..... You can do the math and figure out what I actually have in the International cutter

Post #8 yep!! Duh!!! just couldn't place it.:confused2: I did get out the other day and tack down a place or two but for what I'm going to use it for it's about time to clean it up. It's nice to have it around if I would like a little seat time and should easily take care of a few more things. I do have a spray gun I've never used and this should give me a good idea of what to expect of it. So I guess it going to be a trip to Harbor frieght for a sand blaster. And a little shopping :licking:
