would you use this bush hog?

Previous owner of our property left this 5 bush hog behind. I can make out Kutter on the side, barely. I have never used one and I noticed this one has no bolt holes for safety chains or any obvious way to attach something to the front.

Should I try to use this thing, or just sell it and finance a new one with a new tractor purchase? I am looking at an L2501 or similar tractor.

Looks to be in about as good condition as most. Most don't have any guarding on the front. See if you can raise it off the ground some, and then see if you can rotate the PTO shaft by hand. If the blades turn smoothly, you're good to go. Make sure there is oil in the gearbox.

i can rotate the shaft now. ok, i will try it out, if too much stuff gets thrown out i will rig something up.

I had a King Kutter, looked somewhat similar and also the color. Mine was a light duty unit but OK for grass etc. Not big saplings
