Hello, wondering if anyone has experience with these attachments.
I have a mile of hawthorn and other brush encroaching onto my subdivision road. Too much to trim manually so I'm looking at one of these attachments (basically a small brush hog on an arm that allows tilt and lateral swing to maneuver as required).
I see the regular attachment outlets listing them at between $10k - $15k. But there are off-brand units on sale on the online and Ritchie auctions for around $4k. Obviously I'd prefer to pay $4k but I'm wondering what problems I might have as a result. I won't be using the thing much -- probably only a few days every year. On the other hand, I don't really have the spare time to be tinkering and welding on a cheaply made attachment.
Hope that makes sense and thanks for your thoughts.
