Redneck bush hog

With it raining and high humidy most every day for the past few weeks I may need to build one of these to get the lawn mowed, redneck bush hog. Never have seen a Bush-hog with brakes beforethis must be the Deluxe model!!! Sorta think way back in my memory that I have seen a manufactured ground driven redneck bush hog maybe back in '40s or early '50s??? Kind of like the old horse drawn grond driven sickle mowers with more modern appeal.

So I have heard that granpa did it, and so don't see why I can't, yes use a bush hog after killing frost and get a consistent wilt and then wheel rake it all into a windrow for a sheep ration through the long dry winter with no snow cover. Perhaps it could even be baled? Thoughts on this redneck way of making hay are appreciated. But if I leave it stand I will lose all the legume leaves after frost Or otherwise I could bale it conventionally and then grind it all to make a better ration.

By nomorejohndeere March 30, in General Chat. Still have it. The drivers I met were small town folk, born and raised in the area of their truck's home base, had family that worked for Bush Hog too, they were connected to the equipment they hauled. If I remember right Bush Hog had two factories that equipment was shipped from, one in Salma? Alabama, and the other somewhere in Iowa. A driver from Alabama told me that the first Bush Hog was built with a differential and hood from a Ford pickup, with a chain for a blade, by "a couple good old boys" messing around the garage. There's been four bush hogs Bush Hog brand on this place over the course of mine, Dad's, and Granddad's life, and they were all made in Selma. I'm devoted to the brand, without any negative to say of other brands that may be as good or better. It's a great thing about America's legend of the 20th century that a couple of good old boys could innovate and create a product that many want to copy. Sometimes the best ideas come from those with the need at hand in front of them.

I don't know about a brush hog mower But a sickle bar mower and a dump rake have fed a lot of cows even when the snow was deep. Posted October 1, Sign In Sign Up. Wes Posted July 23, The problem with a bush hog is you seldom get anything like a clean cut and you leave a lot of crop in the field. It wouldn't work here, that much I know. Perhaps it could even be baled? Jake Kuhn 1, Some bush hogs were made to do that, mine has a plate that can be removed.
