Notably recognized for their robust construction and high performance, each model caters to different scales of operation while ensuring efficiency and reliability.

The Bush Hog 2847 is a versatile rotary cutter that offers a cutting width of 84 inches, making it suitable for larger properties and commercial applications. It features a heavy-duty gear drive for enhanced power transfer, which allows for cutting through dense brush and tall grass effortlessly.
