Rotary Cutter Right size rotary cutter for Kabota B3030

[LD1]

Lighter duty 5' cutter, or medium/heavy 4' cutter.

IF you dont ever plan on mowing sapplings, thick and dense brush, etc. Then get a 5' cutter. You can always take a 4' or smaller bite, or go slower if you hit a thick area. But in the less-dense areas. But you can never take a 5' bite with a 4' cutter

I too like a bush hog about as wide as my tractor. I have approximately 20 hp at the PTO and I run a five foot King cutter without any trouble at all. It has cut everything I have ever ask it to tallgrass shortgrass thick grass brush you name it. My tractor is a hydrostat though it does make a difference easy enough to slow Down if you ever came across a situation that was putting it in a bind. Another thing to consider is if you have industrial tires it does have a tendency to push down the grass so sometimes I will start my mower right at the inside of my wheel tread to avoid mowing over what the tire just pushed down at edge of mower. So the five footer works very well for my width tractor in this instance.

Kubota B-7800. 23 PTO HP, with Woods BB60X. No troubles at all. I also do not need to run at full PTO speed.

The EA bushog looks good. I wonder how heavy it is. It seems most cutters today are pretty heavy for what they are rated to do. I say this because the JD127 Gyramor of years past weighed 600# and was rated for 4" trees. Iv had one for 50yrs.
,,,, Other than the bracing being underneath, a 125HP gearbox,no stump jumper, and much more rugged tailwheel it is almost identical in form. Iv used this cutter on the 2010 JD down to our B9200 Kub. The beauty of going light and strong. ... Hi grade steel apparently.

You wont go wrong with a well built 5' cutter. That size is the sweet spot for single spindle cutters.

Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a rotary cutter for my Kabota B3030 tractor. Thanks in advance for your input.

Why do some folks have to misspell the Kubota name, especially if they own one. I know it isn't mis-typed either as they do it multiple times in the same post. It isn't that hard to spell correctly.
As for your shredder width, I wouldn't go more than 5 feet wide and then only if you plan to keep the weeds and grass down to a manageable level. Excess vegetation choking up the flow robs lots of power.

You are correct Gary Fowler, there is no excuse for mispelling Kubota expecially if you own one. I initially had narrowed my search for a 60" rotary cutter to either the Woods BB60X or the Landpride RB1860 but after watching the video of the EverythingAttachments 60' cutter, I may reconsider. Price may be the determining factor. A Woods or Landpride cutter would be more $$$$, at least where I live in Northeast PA. I just cannot come across any input on the EA unit since it is so new to the market.

To keep it from coming up as a link maybe. I find it annoying and use Kub instead.

Good idea!

I find those links annoying, so maybe I'll start using Kub also...

BTW, spelling is no measure of intellect. I think we all know what the poster means... Einstein was a poor speller!

P.S.

The EA Bush Hog looks pretty good. That said, I don't like the tailwheel adjustment, or the assembly. That said, the only Bush Hog i like everything about is the Brown.
