Titan impliment HD rotary cutter?

Living here in TN, I have heard of them, haven't seen one in person though. Looking at the pics, i'm wondering if those are solid welds on the cross members on top of the unit.

I recently picked up a Titan 1708 Brush cutter. Three point hitch, 8 foot width, dual gearbox. Weighs 1250 lbs. I have a Kubota L4760hstc tractor. For the money this is an excellent cutter and I would recommend it. I used a 6 foot King Kutter (and still have it). The 8 foot Titan is smooth when running and gives an excellent cut. Way better than a single gearbox 6 foot. I also have used a new 6 foot Bush hog branded cutter and it does not perform better than the cheaper King Kutter. Another note. The Titan with the 2 gearboxes takes less power to run than the 6 foot cutters.

I bought a 10' Titan Implement twin spindle this summer. It's very well made with solid welds all the way around the deck but the cross members are stitch welded. From what I understand, that allows for better water drainage and allows moisture to evaporate from underneath them.

The whole unit is very well made and solid. I've mowed pastures (about 40 hours) with it so far. All of my mowing has been grass and weeds but no brush. It leaves a pretty clean cut but does leave some standing grass where the tires have mashed it down.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the cutter and the 10' cut compared to the 6' that I was using is no comparison.

Agree, No matter what you cut, if it is tall and thick your tires will mash some down. The 8 foot is the best cutter I have ever used. A few years ago, when a friend bought his tractor, he asked the dealer about a 6 foot or 7 foot bush hog. The equipment dealer told him a 6 foot is as big as you want to get on a single gearbox cutter. He said 7 ft and above with a single gearbox is only asking for your PTO shaft to break or twist. He advised above 6 foot to go with a dual gearbox. Said the 2 rotating blade assemblies will be more rotating mass that will use their momentum to help each other in the tough stuff. Plus the shorter blades are less likely to bind up in heavy cutting. After using my 8 Foot I have to say he was correct. I cut 40 acres a year ago with a 6 foot for a guy. I did it again this year and the 8 foot walked thru it with less pull on the tractor and used less fuel.

Again the Titan bush hog is well built and worth it.

Bumping this thread back up .... MF283 and the other who have this Titan. Still working well for you after a couple more years?

I have a Titan Implements 1810P twin-spindle 10-foot cutter. It's quiet and cuts well. Unfortunately it's left gearbox went out at 18 hours. I'm hoping it's a rare defect and I'm waiting for the replacement to be sent to the dealer. Then I have to trailer the thing to his shop if I want him to do the work. And I WANT him to do the work.

I'll report back with how the replacement goes. Lots of mowing is waiting for me.

Used the 8 ft. Titan a lot so far in 2019 and it is doing the job well.

Thanks. I can get one locally for $4295 with chains........ What size tractor are you using and does it have FEL or front weights?

I've run the 1810 for over 2 years now and it has performed just fine. Running it with a T4.75 New Holland. No issues at all and very pleased with the cutter. Very good value IMHO.
