D-14 - Bush hog

[Anonymous-0]

We have a d-14 that is getting a 3pt kit put on this spring. I am looking at Rhino bush hogs, a 160 or a 172. I'm sure it would handle the 5-ftr at 640 lbs but how about the 6 at 800 lbs? The bigger one would be nicer for the 2520 but I think the allis would do most of the cutting. Nothing is flat around here and it would be mostly pasture mowing. The tractor does have a loader on it for counterweight but still wonder?

I see no problem with the 6ft. brush hog but its only a 30 horsepower tractor. We run our D-14 with a 6 foot King Cutter Rototiller and a 150 gallon sprayer. And ours doesn't have a front end loader, but we put a 50 pound sandbag in the front when spraying.

DT,
It will pull it and handle it fine.

JMHO A 6 ft Bush Hog is a bit too much for a D-14 if you're going to do any serious "hoggin'".
