I recently bought a 60" County Line (TSC) brand brush hog. While it is a lot smoother than the old POS I was using, it's not cutting as well as I had hoped. It seems to leave an un-cut strip along the left side. My old hog did the same thing, but I just figured it was becsue is was old and the blades were junk. I realize brush hogging is not going to produce a beautiful finish cut, but when you finish and the field still has 25% of the grass sticking up it's like WTF?!
The the tractor spins it around no problem, even in thick grass / weeds the tach stays at 540 RPM on the PTO the entire time. I have tried to adjust my ground speed and that doesn't seem to make much difference.
Is this just what I get for buying a cheap $700 brush hog? Would a higher quality Woods, Land Pride, Bush Hog brand, Frontier, ect. cut better? Shortly after I bought my tractor I remember I rented a 72" Frontier from the dealer and it seemed to not leave as much if any grass sticking up like this TSC brand hog, I really can't remember it was a long time ago.
Here are a couple crappy pictures if you can make them out. This was just after I finished cutting 9 acres.
Any suggestions would be great!
