Sorry - only just caught up with your posting below. No I take it down to around 4 inches in one pass - it does make the old girl grunt a bit, and if there are brambles or bear bine it can get a bit clogged, but it is usually OK.

It's a trailed mower, used to be made by Hayter, and consists of three 2ft diameter blade carriers - each one is square with a blade at each corner. H&S nightmare and makes a real mess of dumb rabbits. A wheel at each corner and a heavy frame makes it a good piece of kit - and a lot cheaper to buy than a genuine bush-hog. I paid around GBP100 for it and I reckon it has paid for itself many times over.

Apart from the 'heavy' work in vineyards and old hop gardens it also does more surgically precise work, so it suits me just fine. :)

That Hayter 6ft mower is a lot easier to drive than a Bush-hog...the Hayter cuts it and leaves it a Bush-hog tends to carry it round and round pulverising it...so really a 5ft Bush-hog is enough for a TO to be able to tackle anything.

Very interesting James! As for the wildlife, A friend sent me a note on Saturday that he had a close encounter with a brood of wild turkeys while bushhogging. They hopped and flew out ahead of the tractor so he decided not to do that field. He didn't know what they were until he saw the hen running down the fence line. We are in the process of re-introducing wild turkeys in Ontario so it was an exciting experience - even if he didn't cut the field.
