Brush Hog. ????

They never did say what they called the Americans...at least not while I was around!

I'm a little off the subject but the other's have given you the correct answers to your question. Your comments about the our "language difference", however, brought back some old memories.
I spent my professional career in the sircraft industry and had the good fortune to work very closely with the Rolls-Royce Aeroengine people from Darby on the 757 & 777 Programs. I found out first hand about the difference between the Queen's English and American English. My boss used to say that we were two peoples separated by a common language! But I enjoyed the times I spent in Darby and the Midlands and the fine people at Rolls Royce that I was previledged to work with. I also enjoyed a few meals and tipped a few pints at the Crewe and Harper, the John Thompson along the Trent and at an old coaching inn called the Dog & Partridge in the village of Tutbury. I ws treated just like one of the neighbors during my visits in your lovely country and I'll always have good feelings about the English people as a result.

Cheers!

Much like "Q-tip" is for cotton swabs.
and "Kleenex" is for facial tissue.

or "Googleing" is for a internet search.

or "Ferguson" is for agricultural tractors.... Ahem, I guess I am streaching that last one.

Quoted from link: "Brush Hog. A generic term for field mowing, aka shredding. Also used to refer to the field mower itself -- a heavy-bladed, rotary mower usually connected to the 3PH at the rear of the tractor, used to rough-cut fields and pastures. "Bush Hog" is sometimes used interchangeably, although this is the brand name of an implement manufacturer."

Anyway a brush hog is a flail-type mower or cutter. It has just one hub with two big blades. The blades pivot on the hub so that they can give way if they hit something too big. They can be used to cut grass but are really constructed to cut heavy underbrush, especially in rough areas. They have a lot of mass so that they can cut through trees up to an inch or more in diameter. Because of the initeria in the spinning hub/blades, they tend to "drive" the older tractors if they don't have an overrunning clutch on the pto shaft.

Well I still miss the UK. I lived in Kent and used to go to the ploughing matches, the Detling farm show etc. Then of course there are the pubs and that superb beer.....
