I had a Bush Hog model DM70 for a few years, and they will cut about anything at any speed. I am amazed at how fast they go over rough ground on that show. I never used mine in that way.

Bush Hog rotary seemed over kill. Didn't know the disc could be a 3 point. I played that forward and backwards and the ground was rough. He didn't look back very much and I like the side cut.

But they can't help making everything out to be a mater of life or death! I have a Reese drum mower, two 4 and a half foot disc's with 4 knives each. It will cut anything almost as fast as you can stand the ride. It is a lot tougher than a disc mower. My neighbors use theirs (disc mowers) to mow road sides! I can't imagine using one with out a cab. I have broken two side glasses out. Figure every one might have saved my life. A friend of mine was using one with a 666 IH with out a cab and he got a piece of no 9 wire right in his but cheek. Had to of ricocheted. Vic [Reply]  [No Email]

Thinking of the guy taking the dive off the hay wagon, "accidetnally" falling off the wagon, rolling on the ground. Little things like that drive me nuts. Please - you got me interested - you don't have to put on a show for me, just do what you're doing. Might I add - who the heck taught those people how to pack a hay wagon??? Thing's 4 bales high and ready to fall apart on the first hint of a bump. [Reply]  [No Email]

It's like Paul Sr throwing things and screaming at Paul Jr, or the cheesy graphics of what could happen to the truck if a half dozen things all happened exactly the wrong way at exactly the right times.
