In Reply to: Bush Hog? posted by Bill(Wis) on December 23, 2020 at 09:14:29:
For a few years after I retired, I worked for a small repair shop who is a Bush Hog dealer. There is a lot of difference between the light duty and heavy duty models. In my opinion the light duty are to try to be competitive with the cheap stuff made by other manufacturers. I saw that they changed gearbox and driveshaft makes every few years, and some gearboxes were cheap made. I would only consider a heavy duty model if I was buying one. My main beef against Bush Hog is the blade mounting bolts. Woods has the best blade mount set up in my opinion, hands down. I own a Woods Cadet 72 that my Dad bought new in 1964, and it has been 'well used' ! The metal at the rear of the deck where the grass discharges is worn away. The deck is now full of stress cracks and just this past year the gear box started leaking. Not bad for 56yrs! Mark.
