Help! What is a good quality brush mower for a 30hp. orange tractor. Does a slip clutch option cost more? I need some input on brands. Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

pumpkin,
Find yourself a dealer for Midwest mowers. I've seen all sizes and "series" of them up close. Well worth the time to find one. Midwest Mowers
Have on idea where you are in relationship to a nearby dealer but check them out.

Slip clutch option sometimes cost approx $100 depending on the dealer. Some include it in the price and you never know /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I have seen Midwest brush cutters too........great looking products.

What kind of price range for a 5' mower? Do they have different grades of duty, like heavy, light. Or is it the quality built in to the brand? Thanks

I have a 60" Land Pride cutter. This is a extremely robust unit. Although I'm running it on a pretty small tractor, it's doing a heck of a nice job.
It was definitely worth the thousand I spent on it.
If it works well on my little 670, it should go a great job on your 30 HP Kubota. You might even look at a 72" version...

Bush hog builds a model called the Squealer and yes, the slip clutch is more by about a hundred.

A Midwest RC20-60 with the same Gear Box as D Harpe plus Powder Paint and modular deck design. R&L Carriers will deliver with a free lift-gate service. All this for Hundreds of $$ less than other manufacturers.

When I need to know the lowest prices of a product in the market I look at the web site of Agri-Supply. They usually have many different models from each implement. I just looked at Rotary Mowers at Agri-Supply and saw that the price of 3 Pt. Rotary Cutter with 40HP Gearbox (I think this is shear pin clutch) is for $735 - I am expecting from them soon to introduce a similar mower (40hp, 5') with a slip clutch for less than $500-600. It seems that no one can compete them Agri Supply in the price, except this nomad who can make a home-built of same mower for less than $400;-) -
