Who makes the best brush cutter for the money? I have a CT332 with standard 24gpm pump. Mainly ill be mowing tall grass and saplings nothing over 3'' There are a ton of manufactures out there!!!
I have a 72" CID that works great. It's the 3 blade model and is heavy built. After using this one I would shy away from the 2 blade models with the BushHog style stump jumpers. I ordered mine from Marks Supply 88 they have several youtube videos and are good to deal with. Mine also has the open front. It's surprising what it will do.
I'd also like input on this. In the future I'd like to switch the loader over on my 580 to a universal quick attach and a brush hog is something I'll be interested in. Anyone look at quickattach brand? The mega mower looks like a monster but it's a lot of $$.
I rent a skid steer std flow diamond mower occasionally. 10k new. It'll mow t posts, rocks, stumps, 6' tall grass ok, 4-6" trees ok 4" and under trees are toothpicks. Basically it will mow about anything you put through it. I was very impressed for a std flow.
We have a brush wolf 78" standard flow. Works great for most stuff, really slow in heavy grass though like any of them. Takes a lot of abuse and it doesn't have any of the safety stuff, just a chain you are supposed to attach that will limit the travel. If you have a glass door or no door then that is important, if you have a heavy lexan demo door then its nice to have the freedom to lift it up and chew stuff down or reach up and over things if needed.
I switched mine from lift blades to no lift (actually they are bi-directional) and the performance in grass was much better. I figured I was wasting precious power lifting grass, I just want to cut it.
