Brush hog or bush hog?

Bush Hog is a brand of rotary cutter, built in Selma, Alabama since the early 1950s. The name stuck to the whole job, and since the machine cuts brush, plenty of people call it brush hogging. Same tractor, same cutter, same result. You'll also hear it called rotary cutting, tractor mowing or heavy duty mowing. We run genuine Bush Hog rotary cutters behind Kubota, John Deere and New Holland tractors.

What brush hogging handles

• Tall grass, weeds and thick brush up to 1" in diameter, cut and left on the ground.
• Small saplings from 1" to 3", which we may be able to cut with a heavy-duty rotary cutter. Send photos and we'll tell you.
• Overgrown lots and acreage that have gotten away from their owners, where the goal is to open the property back up.

It works best when the ground is reasonably level and dry and there's room for a tractor. It isn't the tool for larger trees, stumps, or anything in a wetland, conservation area or buffer. What we can and can't cut

Why hire it out instead of renting a brush hog

Most rental companies have stopped renting tractors with brush hogs because of the injury rate, and the ones that do tend to be tired machines with dull blades. You'd need a heavy-duty truck to tow it, and you're on the hook for anything that breaks. Add it up and hiring a professional with a high-horsepower machine usually costs the same or less.
