3168 Rotary Cutter
Bush Hog's 3168 Rotary Cutter features a 14-foot width—wide enough
for big volume cutting on large acreages, right-of-ways or crop residue.
And it's built tough, with the right construction for years of trouble-free
performance.
10-gauge steel deck construction, slip clutches and rubber-cushioned
axles are standard equipment, and are a few of the reasons why the
Bush Hog® 3168 will hold up in rugged cutting conditions. You get a
chice of hitches—pull type, 3-point lift or economical semi-mount. Blade
holders are available round or straight.
There are lots of features on a 3168... and the best of all may be its
price. Come in today and see for yourself.
