Cutter Died...Replaced

[Magicman]

...
My old 6' cutter gave up da ghost Saturday, or should I say da input bearing as seen in the above picture. Yup, flopping big time, soooo..... we hopped on FB Marketplace last night and found a possible replacement.

I made phone calls this morning and a deal was struck on this SE6 Rhino.

It's gonna need some tweaking and probably a set of blades. If this monsoon passes tomorrow maybe we can unload it and see what I have.

The 8' 3008 Bush Hog does the heavy work and the 6' takes care of the minor duties.

Looks like a pretty solid piece.. a little tweaking on the one angle brace. Maybe after straightening it you could bolt on a horizontal cross brace.

Is there going to be a funeral service for the old unit? Where should we send the weed to express our grief? He was a stout old guy that lived a good life cutting things down to their proper size. Sure will be missed, and I doubt that the new guy is ever going to replace him because he was a cut above all the rest for most of his life. May he rust away in piece. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about your faithful old friend.

Wow, what an eloquent eulogy for my dearly departed cutter. You summed it up quite nicely !!!

You forgot to mention that he was a long-standing member of the Rotary club.
