A bush hog is a big mower that is used with a tractor. It has two heavy blades mounted to a center carrier so that they can pivot and are held out by centrifigal force. Both my bush hogs will cut a 5' width and the heavy duty hog will cut up to 4" trees, which I regularly do. In the tractor towing picture is the standard bush hog on the 3 point tractor hitch, it weighs 500 lbs. The heavy duty bush hog weighs 900 lbs and is a real beast. I hope that this answers your question. Old Trucker
Bush Hog is an aftermarket company that makes accessories for tractors and many different types of implements. They make small rotary mowers, as mentioned, to 20+feet wide discs pulled behind 200+HP tractors. I don't like their discs much, kind of light duty. Great mowers, loaders, scrapers though.
I did the edit and the picture came up ok. Thanks for the lesson. Anyway here's want I'm dragging. The 07 Carriage like this has a GVW of 16,030lbs. I think it has the most carrying capacity of anything out there given its curb weight empty. Thats 2000lbs more than mine. I guess they moved up to 7000lb axles. Dave

yep we have a place out in texas at lake fork its my fishing shack, i put a few pics in my gallery here right now we are in north bama, still a gov. contractor . we are sort of full timing ut still working, hopefully in dec we are 100% retired so to speak i have a few things to finish at teh fishing shack to make the aprtment livable but overall we are in our fiver 365 takes 10 minutes to vacum and clean which leaves 23 hrs and 50 minutes to enjoy life maybe should have gone bigger but she pulls very nice and has all the comforts of a five star hotel
Loads 3 or 4 small cars or 3 large cars of pick ups. I'll haul anythrotfl ing I can get onto my 49 foot wedge!!
Ain't that the truth, we're full timers also and have a lot at Lake Royale in NC, NE of Raleigh. Right now though we're at Short Stay in Moncks Corner, SC and going back to NC on Tuesday. Nice to take the house with you when you travel, much easier than packing clothes and finding a motel to stay in. We sold the house 2 years ago and I for one don't miss it a bit. When I bought our first camper 3-1/2 years ago we never went back home. Spent 3 months on the road after selling the house and a month last year since we bought the property in NC and it was to be ready in August so we wanted to get back. This year other than regular trips to SC for Dr's appointments we aren't planning any big trips. The old lady is already saying that she's going to miss the Minnesota Vikings training camp this year but oh well. She got to go the last 2 years and I'm not really a fan. (I did take a lot of pictures of the cheerleaders, told her they were for my brother). Where in N. Bama are you? I wasted 5 years of my life in the Muscle Shoals area. Old Trucker
