Need a Side Mower (suggestions)

Posted by Russ(NC) on September 28, 2004 at 10:05:25 from (192.86.112.4):

I need to get a side mower. This past week I was cutting a ditch bank when all of a sudden the bank gave way. That’s one way to stop someone’s heart. Luckily I backed off the bank without turning over.

At any rate I need a side mower and am looking for recommendations. I have a 55 HP tractor (JD 5310, about 5,500 lbs) with a lot of hydraulic capacity. I want a mower that will cut a 2 inch limb, can be used to cut a ditch bank and also to cut a tree line beside fields (requires ability to rotate 90 degrees vertical). I don’t want to get a larger tractor.

I think I prefer a rotary cutter about 3 to 4 feet wide. Want a hydraulic motor on it.

Anybody got any suggestions or ideas?
