Did about three hours with the brush hog today, worked great. Thanks for the advice on the set up guys!

Had a bit of a problem with the front skids of the hog digging in but got that right after a bit.

Had something odd happen. I used both stabalizer bars...each hooked underneath with a pin that has like a spring wire loop...some how the right side pin came out and the stabalizer bar bent like a pipe cleaner...I can't believe I knew this was happening and I was able to Stop before the hog ate the bar...worked fine with one bar after that...I will get a new one in the morning. Is it worth heating the bent one and straightening it out?

Had a great time out there...and my wife thinks I am nuts to enjoy such a "filthy thing"...but then I remind her that I don't chase women or live at the beer halls...now if she could just get me to pick up my clothes...

I wedged mine in a fork in a tree and with a cheater bar and a big pipe wrench to take the twist out straightened mine. Probably was not worth the effort but I had a good time salvaging the stabilizer.

I wish I had seen mine before the hog ate it.
I have since stopped using the regular lynch pins and have gone to a bolt with nylock nut to hold the stabilizers on and have had no more problems...

Some suggest putting in hair pin type pins in those holes for added security.

If you really want security drill a 1/16th hole in each leg of the hair pin and safety wire the two ends together.

Your mileage may vary

Glad it's working out for you. I bent mine by backing up with the stabs hanging down. I straightend my out with just a hammer and some elbow grease.
Those pins are called Lynch Pins. Put them in so that the pin is inserted downward, that way if a piece of brush flips the ring, the weight of the pin will keep it in the hole rather than let it fall to the ground. If you holes are horizontal then put them in from front to rear. As you are moving forward most of the time, it's harder for a piece of brush to snag the ring and flip it open.
