Gang,

I have a AC B 1939 and want to buy a brush hog for it, what would be the best types to buy. Any help would be great. What are some pall park figures I would except to pay.

Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,

We use a 4' howse brush hog 3-point on a 39b with a well tuned engine. It cuts a 5 acre field once a year (in July) when the grass is about 3'. We do it mostly in second gear, but have to use first if there is much moisture. It cuts trails and clears brush too. When manuevering over uneven ground or cutting a "pilot hole" through heavy brush, one realizes that a 4' is plenty (5' would be too big).

The tractor needs weights on the front if you want to lift the mower.

last week i bought an AC model C with a three point hitch and the place I bought it from said that with these model C's I need to get a 5 foot pull type bush hog-not a three point hitch type. I don't know if he was assuming that I wanted a 5 foot mower, but is there any reason why a 4 foot mower like what you use (with your 3pt hitch) wouldn't work for me. Is it just that I need to get the weights to put on the front end to balance it out, or are the hydrolics not powerful enough on a model C to lift a mower or what? I was just wondering why I was told to get a pull mower?

you have the hydraulic power for lift, but not the weight. will need about 200 pounds on the front end to keep it down. can be weights hung on front, under the radiator, or wheel weights. they probably mean it is simplier and usually cheaper to find an old pull type, than to get newer 3 point and equip tractor with weights.

I agree with steve on the 200#

You may want to test your hyd to make sure it can lift 500#.

You may also have to cut down length of the mower's drive shaft. I think that's kind of a common thing to have to do.

I agree with everthing said here but would add that you might want to put an over-ride coupler on your pto. The momentem of the blades spinning on a brush hog can make it very hard to stop, especially with a small tractor. I put one on my WD and it made stopping easy and I also don't have to wait for the blades to stop to shift. Ask your implement dealer about it. Mine was $45.00 and well worth it.

King Kutter makes a heavy duty one that would work for you. I would quess the price to be $475 new. Call Wobma equipment 1-888-792-8012 for a free quote. They also sell Woods brand but they are more expensive.
