One of the most useful tools is what is known as a “brush hog” or “rotary cutter.” Brush hogs are commonly called “bush hogs” but that is a brand name. “Rotary cutter” is another commonly used term to describe the same implement.

Choosing the Right Option

For example, if you have a tractor rated for 50 HP, then you should purchase a model in the 40 to 50 HP range! The horsepower of your tractor will also influence the deck width you should purchase. Typically a 25 HP tractor can handle deck widths up to 5 ft, for instance.

When operating a 6' bush hog attached to a tractor, the recommended RPM for the PTO (power take-off) shaft is typically around 540 RPM. This is a common speed for many agricultural implements, including bush hogs.To set the RPM on the machine, you will need to adjust the throttle control on your tractor.

Three common sizes are 12, 15, and 20 feet wide, with the most popular being the 15-foot unit. Each rotary cutter requires the right amount of horsepower, balance, and ballast. A lighter-duty 12-foot unit works well on utility tractors of 50 to 80 hp. The popular 15-foot models work best on tractors 75 hp.

In conclusion, brush hogs tend to be a better choice for large overgrown grassy fields and can handle such conditions with greater speed, though lower quality, than flail mowers.

Do bush hog blades need to be sharp? ›

You should sharpen your bush hog blades whenever you notice the bush hog is not cutting properly, or becoming heavily clogged with torn debris. A dull blade will pull tough stalks instead of cutting them, and they could wrap around the output shaft of the gearbox and ruin the seal in the gearbox.
