Help ! Need to identify a large heavy duty brush cutter

[Tractorguy1977]

Ok so I m looking at a pull type rotary cutter , found one for a good price but have no clue of brand or model and seller does not either. Lol (that's my luck)
This is about 8 feet wide , hydraulic raise and lower single ram. Has extra blades for it. The one issue is the slip clutch is about at end of its life , it does work but has clutch disc material coming apart.
Gear box is very tight little to no play , no leaks , u-joints are all in good shape. Hydro line could use attention but workable.
Any help on identifying this beast ! Much appreciated.

It resembles an old Servis cutter. Could you post a closeup photo of the gearbox?

The slip clutch looks a lot like the ones
John Deere used on their older ones.

Industrial yellow paint, construction of gearbox/slip clutch & rear axle reassemble Servis. I don't remember that type of hitch design on a Servis G84.

I remember picking up new Servis equipment & parts on West Singleton Blvd in Dallas back in the 60's. Shear pins came in a small gunny sack.

Cutter in photo has shear pin not slip clutch on driveline

I hope that Ford tractor in the background doesn't have to run that thing too long, unless it's just clipping either low grass or a thin stand of brambles. An eight foot cutter going through tall grass is a LOAD on the PTO. I ran a seven footer with a Ford 4000, and that was a nice match. An eight footer would start to strain it.

Haha definitely would the little guy for sure , thus cutter will be towed behind my 6600 or 7000 tractors. I have a sickness that started with my 4000su now I can't seem to stop picking up the "too good of a deal to pass up" offers. My barn,shed and yard is filling up with the additions lol.

Oooooh... Ford 8000. I always liked the proportions of the 8000 and 9000 tractors. Never drove one, but I bet they would be nice baling tractors for a small square baler. Or to run a 10' discbine.
