Rotary Cutter Which 5' cutter to get

yep.. take the low bid and hold on to his bid bond and performance bond.

Over the years we have actually picked up on work that was in liquidated damages, and the insurer / underwriter picke dup a 2nd contrator to help the primary finish the work so it dodn't have to pay out hefty liquidated damages.

bad times for contractors. we are hanging on tooth and nail on a shoestring budget trying to bid anything we can.. hoping to stay afloat.

The weight of an implement is not the be all and end all..

Good design will trump weight every time!

I remember back in 1971 our neighbor was bushhoggin with his 8N. dr swift lived down the road and he had just bought his daughter who was still in high school a brand new Mercedes 280 SL. She was driving it home for the first time and wouldn't you know it, Mr Henry' old 8n and bushhog slung a rock and knocked a hole in her windshield. Bet the windshield cost as much as the old 8n would have sold for.

Oh well,

Everything has its opportunity cost.

The folks at Daimler Benz sold a
replacement windshield for the 280SL
that day and undoubtably the pucker factor
was well used that day.

Fortunately for the young woman the
windsheld glass of the Mercedes automobile
and others were using layered glass with a
plastic sandwich to reduce flying glass.

Thank god its all tempered glass now.

This is but one more reason I like to use
flailmowers and suggest their use only from a
safer operating standpoint for the end user.
