Just got home with a Bush Hog® 6' model 406.
Been looking for one of these for about 3 years now. Missed a couple at auctions and bought a goofy Ford job once by mistake which I got rid of so it's a good day to bring this home.
I've had a 405 5' for about 8 years now and it is just a great, indestructable machine. Wasn't wide enough to cover my tire tracks though.
Everything runs smooth on the new one - u joints, gears. Blades are good. Plenty of life left in the slip clutch discs though I'll need to adjust them for 37 hp.
Seller put an awful color on it but I don't much care about that.
Gonna have to make a couple of mods to the hitch as it's set up for cat 2 and will definately need to put some sta bars on the tractor.
Never did use them before.
I jerry rigged the pins to put it on the tractor for a test run in my yard.
3000 hefts it ok but I'm sure I'll want to get those bumper weights on before I use it much.
Vito?
Here's the old one. Kenny has dibs on it but if he doesn't want it it'll go on craigslist.
Weighs 800+ lbs so I'll have to tell the 8Ners they can't heft it.
