loading bush hog on trailer

Ronnie55 · Mar 12, 2016

Hello, I have a little 48" cutter and needs to go to shop for repair.
I have a B2320 with loader, what is the best and safest way to load the cutter on trailer? I'm new and not sure of going about this.
Thanks

I forgot to add the trailer I have is used only for lawn mowers..It does haul the Badboy Outlaw easy..But my loading gate wouldn't support the tractor and BH going up it.

If your loader will lift it just load it over the side. Will they have a way to unload it once uou get
there?

Do you realize bush hog is a brand name? Like calling all cars Cadillac.

Dblair · Mar 12, 2016

they don't call them brush cutters in the south it's bush hog and yes we know that's a brand name

Really does it make a difference? not a person reading this forum would not have known what he was talking about.

Dblair hit the nail on the head. Coke is also a generic name. We don't have pop.

It is a Big Bee

load it coming in from the side and just let it down slowly into the trailor.if your trailor handles that big lawn mower it will handle that
little four foot brush hog.

Thanks, any suggestions on the best way to chain it while lifting it over? I just don't want to drop it and do more damage.

Agreed.
It's a Big Bee rotary mower.
The St Paul Saints are not the Minnesota Twins, even though they are both baseball teams.
They are in different leagues.
Bush Hog?, compared to most cheap, minor league, brush cutters is in a league of it's own.

I agree. Anyone who doesn't know what he was meaning must live in New York City. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I rig mine with 2 chains, one in the top link bracket and the other to the tail wheel adjusting bracket. I rig it differently when
I put it in the back corner of the shed for the winter. But I have been rigging irregular shaped objects for 40 years. If you
aren't sure how to do it better get some help with experience, you could hurt yourself. You could just use a couple of planks and
a come-a-long and drag it on, if it's only a 4 foot it really doesn't weigh that much.

I've done it quite a bit mainly on goosenecks. I
always chain to the top link fairly tight a roll the
bucket back until the bottom links rest on the cutting
edge and works good for me. If you are on unlevel
ground just leave the bucket rolled down and pull it
around on the dolly wheel until you get ready to go
on the trailer. I'm assuming the is a 3 point so I may
be looking at it all wrong

I dont live in new york city but I will say I drove several miles to buy a bush hog some time ago at an auction. Auctioneer did
not answer phone. Got to sale in time to see an off brand cutter sell. I asked wheres the bush hog. Answer we just sold it you
were standing there. I drove miles and spent a lot of time either because of an ignorant or lazy auctioneer.

Ronnie55 · Mar 13, 2016

Thanks to all that helped, believe I have enough info to get my
rotary mower, cutter, off brand, bush hog loaded on trailer.

Bush Hog makes more than just rotary mowers. We're you just going to buy anything with the Bush Hog name on it?

Anyway got it repaired top and bottom seals installed and blades sharpen for $45.00. And without having to load it on trailer.
