We call them Brush Hogs here.
A Bush Hog would be used to shave some nasty hairy ass puzzy.
Never owned one, nor have I seen one, but I guess they are pretty popular below the Mason Dickson line.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Rubber tire drive instead of a gearbox- - - -less maintenance, and just replace the tire when it wears out. No gears to wear out or break.

I would look for a used bush hog 307. I have the 306 which is the 3pt 6ft variant. it weighs 1100# and has a 90hp gearbox. Find a new one with those specs and the price of fun goes up quickly. Bush hog also supports their older equipment very well.

I’ve cut stuff i had no business cutting with my 6’ LMC bush hog.
Had to fabricate a tail wheel holder after i bent the factory one..
Other than that.. it’s been a good one.

Other than that.. it’s been a good one. I have the same one, made out of heavy stock. Compare it the ones at TSC, it’s a joke. Country Mile or whatever, thin gauge crap Link to Lowery https://www.lowerymanufacturing.com/Cutters

Had a little trouble getting this to MI, but it’s built really well (from TX). This is the 7ft model. Skip clutch instead of shear pins. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XJPvPxhq/6240-BCE7-31-EC-4-EE1-966-B-D852-B0918-D12.jpg) Edit to add that the trouble getting it to MI was lack of a local distributor.

Second the Modern Ag. Got an 8’ 3-pt. The hot dipped galvanized is awesome, and the sides on it are 7 ga.
