First I think there was just a big discussion on Brush cutters. You may want to look back a few days and see if you can find it. I think you have answered your own question though by calling a brush cutter a bush hog. Bush hog is a brand name but so popular that people think that is what the piece of equipment is called. For me stay with the name brands and stay away from the cheap stuff. A brush cutter takes a lot of abuse so you need a good one. Bush hog and Woods come to mind. To run a brush cutter you will want a live PTO. You can get a over running clutch for a non live PTO tractor but just go ahead and get what you need now. Not to start a color war but I like Ford and MF. For a Ford you will need a 860 comes with gas engine only 861 gas or diesel These will both have a 5 speed trans and two stage clutch for live PTO. Good shape is $3500 and up to about $5000 for excellent shape. The SOS trans has live PTO but I do not like it because parts are hard to get. Then you move up to the 2000; 3000; 4000; Fords. You need the model # to see if it has live PTO. Price starts at about $3500 and goes up to about $7000 depending on how new it is. The MF 35; 135 and 235 are also good choices. About $3500 on up depending how new it is.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
