I am getting ready to purchase a rotary cutter. I wanted to get some input on 2 things. First, is the 8N capable of handling a 5ft cutter and Second, what are good cutters to look at. I really only know of a couple...Bushhog, King Cutter and those at tractor supply. I would appreciate your input.

Thank You,
Tyler

Besides a good ORC get the chain kit for it. Keeps it at the height you want for a full days work. Dave OH

I have a 5'Bush Hog Squealer that I got from my father and it will cut anything that I can drive over. The unit is 22 years old and is in excellent condition and it has always performed very well.

A great value, built very well!

5' KK behind my 8N will knock down and cut up 6' to 8' tall willow and cottonwoods 1" in diameter. Not to mention all the grass and weeds I can drive through. Remarkable machines both. Don't forget an ORC.

I just got a 5' King Kutter at TSC for my 2N - Has worked well for me so far. No problem lifting the deck and has been able to mow 3-4' weeds, saplings, and multi-flora with no problem.

I have a 5 foot Howse that I have just finished bushhogging 18 acres of pasture land, was using second and most of the time third gear.My 528n does ok if I lift the bushhog up a little,it's kind of hard on the tractor if I drag the bushhog.
