Safety features are also paramount in the design of the Bush Hog 286, 280 series, 287, and 285. These cutters typically include shielded areas around the blades, reducing the likelihood of debris being launched during operation. Additionally, the adjustable skids ensure that operators can maintain the desired cutting height, which is crucial for protecting sensitive soil structures.

In summary, the Bush Hog 286, 280 Series, 287, and 285 offer a robust combination of efficient cutting capacity, durability, advanced technology, and safety features. Their design caters to the needs of a variety of land management scenarios, making them a preferred choice for those seeking reliable performance in rotary cutters.
