I started looking around for a new rotary cutter. I wound up at the farm equipment dealer where I had made a lot of purchases in the past and had always been well taken care of. The owner I used to deal with has passed on and the family is trying to make do with the few suppliers they still have left. One of them is Bush Hog and they still have a good supply of older but still new Bush Hog medium duty cutters that the original owner had purchased before his passing. I passed up the 3.5 and 6 foot models for obvious reasons and am looking at the 4 and 5 footers. The 4 footer weighs 455 pounds and requires 15-30 PTO Horsepower. The 5 footer weighs 636 pounds which seems kind of heavy for the 8N without having to add weight to the nose. But it also requires 25-40 Horsepower on the PTO which is just beyond the 8N's reach. So since I want to support the family and buy something from them, I am leaning towards the 4 foot Bush Hog.
