I gave $250 for this one a few years ago, and I just went to a Rhino dealer and talked about possibly trading for a new 6ft Rhino GR72 (superduty of the Rhino line), and he said he'd give me $250 for it, as is, but thats trading toward a new $4,500 mower. $4,500 is more than I wanted to spend as I was thinking more like $3,000 would be plenty, I'd still have to do quite a bit of custom work to pay for a $3,000 rig. I have alot of work to do with a brush hog and I have used that old Massey Fergueson for a few years and done quite a few acres with it, like you say it was really rugged and a super mower, but it's to the point now where it's a pile of junk and I've either got to do alot of fixing or replace it, the only thing that it's got going for it is the gearbox is totally unharmed, but the rest of it isn't much good. Finding a good used brushhog is hard around here is very difficult because I'm in stone country and most everybody buys the cheaper models, so they're all beat up and they always go for good prices at auctions. I could buy a cheaper replacement, but I'm afraid I'd be throwing my money away if I bought a lighter duty because it's very apt to end up in the same shape as the one I got with a bunch of it's parts piled on top of it. That brushhog for $4,500 I'm thinking should last a loooong time, so therefore it might be worth the extra bucks, but at the same time $4,500 is a whole lot to risk in a stony pasture. I probably won't end up with a GR72 just because it's half again as much as I wanted to spend, but it's got the durability I'd like.
