FYI... The Vermeer's ain't worth a high priced gearbox...
See what's available on the used market...
The 489 new holland is durable and fixable, but slow compared to a good disc mower...
It's a trade off...

Stihl makes a nice brush cutter:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

I hit it hard going fast and the gearbox just exploded.

I didn't know that you had any other speed Stephen. :msp_rolleyes:

 

[thinkrtinker]

Yep I hit it hard going fast and the gearbox just exploded.

Seems as if there is only one speed required in haying season----FA FA FAST!!!!!!

A good disc mower will usually cut as fast as you can ride the tractor seat.

They sure do... I love running them, but the ones I've had the mis fortune of owning, we're a real PIA to work on.... If anything went wrong I the cutter bar assembly, you had to drop the whole thing out, and take it apart in segments, till you got to the one you needed to fix...
Oh, and don't forget the loctite!!!!!!!!!!
Or she'd be spitting parts out the back by the second round...:msp_scared:

Sorry to come out of nowhere with this, but has anybody ever tried to cut hedge into boards?

have a couple of logs around 20 inches across and 8 ft long I'm thinking about making into boards.

Any helpful hints?

thanks

If you plan on milling it do it while its fresh. It gets dry and you'll have a rough time cutting it in general.

Yes... Makes very cool wood for furniture... Just mills a little slower is all..
If Dave Boyt would chime in here, it would be excellent, since he's milled about everything.
Problem is its hard to find good "straight ish" logs to mill...

Sitting on the side of the road with my 47 Dodge out of gas. What is a guy gonna do? I already looked for saws on craiglist now figured I'd chime in here and say hi.
