I have two of those Howse mowers. A heavy duty 7' (bought used) and a medium duty 10' (bought new 2 years ago). Howse uses an imported gearbox. According to the Howse dealer so does Bush hog. Also dealer said Howse was the last manufacturer to resort to imported gearboxes. After using a Bush hog mower for over 40 years, my opinion is that Bush hog WERE the best. My old mower had a Bush hog gearbox that came a part. If everyone is using imports, the playing field should be level as far as gearbox quality. All the fabricated steel parts of the Howse seem to be well built and heavy enough to do the job. Shop around in your area for Howse dealers. There is quite a difference in price. Bush hog still charges for the name. They are too high. IMO The only thing I don't like about Howse is - on the 10' mower there are bolts that get loose. They must be checked and kept tight. At this point, I would buy another Howse if the need comes up. I can buy 2 or 3 Howse mowers for about the same price as one Bush hog. These are my thoughts at this time. Thoughts may change with time. Good luck

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
