Pros/cons pull type v. 3 pt mowers

[Builder]

There are several that make 7' mounted rigs..........and for less than $6500.


7' M.H.D. CUTTER W/2 WHEELS W/CH [MH72TC] - $3,023.00 : Howse Implement Company, Your source for tractor and farm equipment parts and supplies

Heavy Duty Rotary Cutters



And if you're not absolutely set on a twin-spindle rig there a scad of others out there that will sell you a 7' cutter for less.........Kodiak, Mohawk, Taylor-Pittsburgh, Modern Mfg, King Kutter, Big Bee, etc.

There are a lot, but I don't think any of them off hydraulic height adjust. I need that feature. Woods is the only one I can find that has hyd height adjust.

You can raise pull type bush hogs I dont know what any of you have been around but Ive been around plenty of pull types that lift with a standard 3 x 8 cylinder. Woods and other companies make these.

Given my choice, I'd like a 3pt, 7-foot, twin spindle, hydraulic raise/lower rotary brush mower for ~$2,000. It will probably a used unit, as long as it is in good shape.
