Woods 48\" Brush Bull

I have been looking at Brush Hogs. I have a Kubota B2910 and need something to do some light Brush Hogging. Mostly tall weeds and grass. Would this Woods 48" Brush Bull work for me? What do they run in price? Is it a good unit. I know that Woods is one of the best brands. Anybody have this same tractor and brush bull?

Re: Woods 48\" Brush Bull

I can't comment on the Brush Bull specifically, but wouldn't it be better to get one that was wider than the tractor? The B2910 is about 54" wide or so, so I would think you'd want a 5' unit.

I wasn't sure that the 2910 could handle a Brush Bull 60. Can a B2910 handle the Brush Bull 60 ok? Anybody done this before? Let me know what you think.

I am sure that your tractor can handle a 60" cutter if you are going to be using it for light brush and tall grass. We have used a 60" on a B2400 on fields that are mowed 3-4 times a year without a problem.

I just talked to my dealer and he said that I could handle a 60" Bush Hog. He wants me to get the Bush Hog RZ60R. He said that would be a great unit for me. He is also a woods dealer. Which one do you think that I should go for?

I also have been considering a brush hog for my B2910.

One thing I realized is that depending on the duty rating, they can be REAL heavy. A Woods light duty will work on the b2910, but a medium duty 5' rotary cutter weights something like 1,200 lbs or more. I concluded that would be too much for the b2910...likely be doing wheelies a lot when transporting it!

My dealer told me that the 4' and 5' are almost the same price. I will go with a 5' when I buy one. That may be as soon as next month! I would look at the weight of the 5' units you are considering and buy one that is not too heavy. Personally, I don't think I want one that weighs over about 800 lbs...

Let us know what you decide!

I think the RZ60R would be a good match for your tractor. Of course, I would much rather have chain guards front and rear instead of the rear bands and front belting material, but I guess they probably do a decent job.

Bird,

For my tractor would besides the Bush Hog would you go with the Befco RSD 60" or the Woods BB60"? I am not sure. The dealer has just given me an idea. He sells all of them. Which do you recommend? You seem to be a very knowledgeable person.

Re: Woods 48\" Brush Bull

You'll do fine with a BB60, though may have to slow down in heavy, tall grass or weeds. Such is a fine unit, but other "upper tier" manufacturers also have good stuff. Don't even think about the BB600 (Woods' "medium duty" unit), it weighs 1040 lbs, and is meant to handle saplings up to 4 inches. I've got one on my L3410 GST, and when moving through heavy cover, I really have to slow down, and sometimes can only accomodate 2/3 width cuts. It's a pto power issue.
