How to Select the Best Rotary Cutter (Grass, Weed, Bush, Brush Mower)

[@benkanobe7500]

I have now watched at least 20 "Brush Hog" KZbin videos and never learned anything near what I have learned in this brief but so very important and to the point educational Rotary Cutter KZbin. Thanks!

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Wow, thanks! Glad it helped and Thanks for the Comments!

[@TheAussieincalgary]

I grew up in Australia, and always knew them as a SLASHER. A good tutorial in the different features to look for.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

There are many different terms for Rotary Cutters like Slasher in Australia, or Brush Hog or Hogs in North America. Thanks for watching.

[@Bernie5172]

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Interesting to hear the slang terminology is in other countries. We are located in the United States and do video for our customers. Interesting to see that are reaching further than here locally.

[@erocgr00t6]

Great explanation. Especially for a newbie like myself to this market

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Glad it was helpful! That is what we are trying to do is help customers at any experience level to look and make the best purchasing decision for their needs. Thanks for the comments!

I went out topping a showground with an old McConnell Rhino SE6 on the back of a MF165, and I encountered a fence post in the long grass I didn't see, and I'm lucky I was using the old rhino topper cos that went straight through that fence post and there was almost no bogging from that tractor, just a massive bang, the topper jumping slightly, and the post being chucked 3 feet out the side in 4 pieces

[@VahrenbergImplement]

WOW...good thing you had a RhinoAG!

[@benkanobe7500]

I have a "Servis S-5" Rotary Cutter which I understand "Servis" was purchased by Rhino and improved. How can I get parts for my Rotary Cutter? Can I purchase a Service and or Parts manual from Rhino that has similar or the same parts? Like, new blades? Thank you!

[@VahrenbergImplement]

I would recommend contacting RhinoAG direct or your local RhinoAG dealer may be able to get parts for the old Servis Brand Products. Here is Contact Information for RhinoAG: www.rhinoag.com/contact-us/

Thank you for producing and uploading this. If you were closer, I would closer I would be stopping by for a TW14. Calling my local Rhino dealer today.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Thanks for the comments & watching. It is best to purchase from your local dealer so you get service and support long after the sale. Your Local RhinoAG Dealer will take care of you!

Great video what a 24.8 PTO what size do I need?

[@VahrenbergImplement]

24.8 HP is dang close to 25 HP unless you are dealing in High Material Volumes you could probably run a 25 PTO HP minimum Machine. In RhinoAG the TW14 and TW15 is 20 PTO HP Min, TW25 is 25 PTO HP Min or the TW16 is 25 PTO HP Min. depends on material cut capacity the TW10 Series can cut up to 1" Diameter Trees , The TW20 Series can handle up to 2" Diameter Trees. Then if you want 4', 5' or 6' cutter.

[@triciahill216]

Why are there so few hitch-type rotary mowers vs. 3-point hitch style? I’m referring to smaller mowers, e.g. 6’ to 8’ wide mowers. (I grew up with a 6’ wide rotary mower and really like the drawbar hitch style more than 3-point hitch ones.) Thank you.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Biggest Reason is most Compacts and Smaller Tractors, rear remotes are optional purchase or added cost. Pull Type Mowers are more expensive with added hydraulics and cost for tongue. So demand is lower due to higher costs. RhinoAG does offer 8' Cutters in Pull Type Configuration and larger.

[@RodeoJoe1981]

Can you do a video on those 10/12 ft that you mentioned at the end. Would they work in a international 574?

Good video

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Thanks for watching and commenting. There are lots of differences in Cutters and understanding what you need to look for will help you find the best for your needs.

[@Agwings1960]

I had one of those cheap off brand rotary cutters behind a 35hp tractor a few years ago. It lasted about 3 years and yes the gear box blew up, and no, there were no parts available. I sold it for a scrap metal price. Lesson learned.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Thanks for the Comments. Sucks that you had to experience that but I bet you will think about future purchases more indepth. Many times the cheapest price is not the Best Value!

[@Rcol4427]

Can I get one in a 84 inch? Will my 2706 handle it? I also have a CAT 1 quick Hitch, do I need to change it if I move to a 7 foot cutter?

[@VahrenbergImplement]

RhinoAG TW27 is Cat 2/Cat 3 Hitch Mowers. Need Wider Hitch and Cat 2 Balls to use a 7' Mower. We have had some take the pins and get a machine shop customize them by using lather to cut down to Cat 1 Pin Size. Cat 1 Quick Hitch won't work as it too narrow.

[@keithnavarro2930]

Did I miss the slip clutch vs shear pin discussion?

[@VahrenbergImplement]

We don't sell Shear Bolt Protection Mowers. Too much pain to replace and the cost difference is very little between Shear Bolt & Slip Clutch. Only mower RhinoAG even offers it on is TW10 Series Mowers. I'd rather keep happy customers and they appreciate the Slip Clutch. I might miss a sell or two because we are higher but I'd rather keep my customers happy.

[@keithnavarro2930]

@@VahrenbergImplement I agree IF the slip clutch assembly is maintained properly.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Same thing with Shear Bolt most are Grade 2 and they replace with heavier grade (I've seen Grade 8 used) and things don't shear where they need too. All equipment needs to be maintained properly per operators manual. If you don't follow the directions...well you often have to pay for it.

[@keithnavarro2930]

@@VahrenbergImplement I agree. Good, educational videos.

[@rodneytaylor6261]

Rhino is a popular rottry cutter (we call them slashers)..here in Australia bit pricey but you only get what you pay for.... The cheep slashers are not even rated for cut capacity

[@ncsucpetractorfun]

Why are there so few 4 and 5 foot 1” cutters with chain options? That is what I am looking for in NC for my GC1705. They are very hard to find.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Cost. The 1" Cutter Market is extremely competitive and price is the biggest factor most are judging purchasing decision. I'll have to pass that idea on to RhinoAG. That would be a nice option to sell.

[@ncsucpetractorfun]

I totally get the not standard equipment but i would really like the option. So far, Woods and Frontier have it either standard or an option.

[@thehumbleofficer]

Can you brush cut running bamboo?

[@VahrenbergImplement]

We don't have Bamboo in Missouri but I would say it could be done. We cut hardwood trees with Rotary Cutters.

[@mmg6282]

No stump jumpers?

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Stump Jumper YES we have then Dogbone Stump Jumper or Round Pan? No Round pan and thank goodness because those have to be balanced just like a car tire and if you hit something and ding it and throw it out of balance it will cause vibrations and there is the death of a gearbox. Dogbone style carriers provide stump jumping and are easier to keep balanced .

[@bullrambler]

Thanks for your presentation. With the length of this video - it would have been somewhat more helpful if you spent a bit more time on the 7 foot rotary cutter - setup on a larger tractor. While the larger cutters could have been a separate video.. .!

First

[@bradjenkins932]

They look cheap made.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

Compared to other brands in this Capacity Class RhinoAG provides heavier structural support, heavy hitch, heavier blades and just built stronger. All depends on the Cutting Capacity you are looking for the bigger diameter material the stronger the machines are built. We have very few issues with strength and I have some pretty dang rough customers that mow some onry places and the RhinoAG Mowers keep on cutting.

[@bradjenkins932]

@@VahrenbergImplement They are cheap for 2" cutting capacity.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

I have traded customer out of just about every 2" cut capacity brands and the RhinoAG is built heavier than their previous models. Woods, John Deere, Bush Hog, LandPride, Frontier, King Kutters, and The RhinoAG is night and day heavier than their comparable machines.

[@bradjenkins932]

@@VahrenbergImplement I have a Woods BB720 , and it's a lot heavier built than a tw26.

[@VahrenbergImplement]

As a Massey Ferguson dealer we can sell Woods Product through their partnership but we surveyed our customers and by huge margin they told us not to get rid of RhinoAG. BB720X is a 3" Cut Machine you need to compare to the TW30 Series not the 2" Cut Capacity Cutters. The BB72X is the 2" Cut machine. Weighs less than RhinoAG TW26 by 57#, BB72X is 828# and the RhinoAG TW26 is 865# both with single tailwheel and chainguard. Weight = How Much Metal in the Machine = Structual Strength. Look at Tailwheel Carrier is much lighter as is the hitch design too. I listen to my customers they demand RhinoAG Products. I have a Choice and can sell both...never sold a Woods. They don't have a good reputation in West Central Missouri.
