I've owned and used many rotary cutters, and the best two i have ever used is the 2 Woods i own now. This last summer i was doing a rotavateing job 50 miles from here. I split the pto shaft on my rotavator, and was about to load up to leave. The customer came up to me and asked if i would spend a few hours hogging out some tall weeds useing his cutter. I agreed and hooked his King Kutter to my tractor. Man, what a difference between his KK and my Woods!! I had to stop and check the blades, to see if they were ok!! It just wouldn't cut as clean as my Woods, and it also winrowed too much too!!! Also his KK was in it's second year, and the gear box seal was leaking. A big farmer friend of mine bought a new KK when he retired. He "said" he tried to use it like the "Woods cutter" he had on the farm, and when i saw the KK the deck was bent up and the gear box trashed. He had hit a big rock in his field that he didn't know was there. Yes he had the right shear pin in it, (origional as he had not owned it long) and he said it "did" shear the pin. He told me that day, "when you buy a brush hog, cheap isn't good"! I can't even remember all the rocks, stumps, and logs i've hit over the years!!! I think of a brush hog just like i do a rototiller, buy a GOOD one the first time, cause you never know what your going to hit!! Robert
