Farmall 130 - bushhog

I'm looking at a Woods Brushbull 4' or 5' mower.

I saw they sold the clutches at this site. Kind of a handy thing but not something you have to have.

I have a cousin that runs a brush hog in his 140 and he has bent two PTO shafts but he does road mowing and is pretty rough on his tractor sometimes. I think his trouble is more of hitting ditches and stumps.

Ours are hooked up with fast hitches so I cant help much there.

Probably better from mower point of view than 300, as 130 will probably stall where a 300 would do damage. And just maybe my experience is not a fair test of equipment. My dad and I were clearing 10' to 14' high trees and bush 40 years ago. A hot shot salesman drove in suggesting he could cure our problems with a bush hog type mower. Well, he did for 3-4 hours then the 300 tore the mower to blazes. I'm not sure how he explained this damage to his superiors. We advised him that in the long run, chain saws and axes would probably cost less per acre.

Truth of the matter was a hair brain salesman came along with a mower heavy enough to mow tall grass. It was not heavey enough to cut small trees. The 300 did not suffer any damage. I doubt if they could have done anything with that mower besides send it off to the scrap yard. This mower was protected by shear bolt for overloads. My suspicion is they exchanged those for something better than shear bolt. I've seen salesmen try that one since a few times, usually creates a red face for them.
