Brush hog help, please

I just learned to watch it when I lift on the 245 .... after scaring the #^*^*# out of myself the first time I ran the howse on that tractor.. what a surprise.

I agree with the other sentiments that the Howse bush hog is real light. OK for grass but I think heavier work will break it up pretty quick.

I recently saw a Rhino unit that looked pretty stout. 'Bush hogs' may be one of those things best purchased 'by the pound'

It does'nt matter what model of equipment you use you'll still have the same problem with the mower pto shaft.

There is not and adapter made to be able to run a bush hog with the deck raised. I wish there was because these boys here usually knock out the u-joints at least 2-3 times per year doing just what you're talking about.

If you lift the mower on up to move around even when it's not running you'll still need to disconnect the pto shaft or you can warp it or knock out the u-joints.

However when I would look at their bushhogs they did have the same deal going.

I have measured and noticed that smaller tractors like a Yanmar or Hinomoto that have shorter lift arms don't do it so bad.

Maybe it has to do with where the true center of the lift arch is located?? Maybe your 20 had smaller tires and/or shorter lift arms.

These Yanmars are a 26' lift arm measured center of lift pins.

These Fords here are 31" center to center of the lift arm pins.
