Eastern Iowa | If you are going to use a tractor in the upper HP range you might want to spend a little more and get one with a heavyer gear box. Land Pride mowers are good quality if you have a dealer in your area. |

Crawfordsville, Arkansas | We bought a nice older 7' Bush Hog last year at a sale in Luxora. $600 I believe. It's a late 80's or early 90's model when they actually used real steel in a mower. Have ran it on a 200+ horse tractor and it did fine.
There's a sale coming up in a few weeks close by me. I'm sure there will be some mowers there. |

Southern Lower Michigan | Bought one back in the early 80s paid just over $1000 for it Brand New . Just sold it last year for $600.
early on I had to replace both blade carriers, and repair the 3pt lift, and one U joint in the cross drive. other than blades it ran fairly well for the rest of its life here.
It was used mainly for roadsides, lanes, and on occasion , weedy wheat stubble , and light brush (usually not more than 2"). Never had any trouble with the gear boxes.
The newer ones have a heavier built blade carriers, and 3pt lift . For me ,it was a good unit for the money, and my uses
Their original blades were only 3/8 thick, and wouldn't last very long. I was able to replace them with 1/2 thick blades for a Woods mower.
Those blades lasted a lot better.

The Delta | Ahh your right, I need to come look at that plow, how do you like your switch plow? I think I can really put a number on pigweeds once there 10" under. |

Well it's a non NAT approved tillage tool but it sure does us a good job. |
