My father sold both Rhino and Bush Hog back in the 60's-80's. Both companies make fine implements. Bush Hog around here owned the market back then in cutters. Rhino for scrape blades. I've still got Pop's old 8 foot Rhino blade. Thing weighs 760#. It's an absolute monster. I did own a nice 6' Brown cutter that was built like a tank. Weighed in at 1100# and was rated for 2" material but it would handle heavier stuff. Running a TItan 10 footer now rated for 2" material that weighs in at 1500#. Good cutter but not a Rhino or Bush Hog. Still a good cutter for the money. Great video and very informative. Thanks.
When I was a kid, I watched in amazement as an old farmer who was clearing an overgrown field ran over and chopped up several trees. Later, I mentioned to him that I thought those cutters were just for weeds. He laughed and said, "It'll chop up anything that I can drive this tractor over".
Or more importantly can’t drive the tractor over.
Rhino has been building cutters for 50 years, they are the best.
Great explanation of the differences between the two products. Lots of videos demonstrate specific cutters, but the way you do it with a side by side comparison really shows the contrast.
I've been running BUSH HOG rotary cutter for years.When I looked at rotary cutters many years ago,BUSH HOG had the most robust gearbox and frame work.I've put many hrs on mine,and its been awesome over the years.That RHINO looks very well built,BTW,I remember I paid 1400.00 brand new for my cutter.
I miss seeing videos everyday
FYI, now Bush Hog and RhinoAg are both owned by Alamo. I was seeing cross breeding creep in even 3 years ago while I was still a Bush Hog dealer with Rhino part numbers showing up on Bush Hog models. My Dad sold Bush Hog in the 60s & 70s and his personal cutter he got in 1976 was a Bush Hog 306, rated for 3” saplings. I know I pulled that cutter across at least 1 sapling that measured 5”. His neighbor bought that cutter at Dad’s estate sale in 2008 and was still using it until his own death last year; almost 50 years. I have always used a cutter rated for 3” material, even when I had my New Holland 1720, 27 engine hp. You buy a heavy cutter and you can’t tear it up. The difference is thickness of steel. I always suggested that my customer purchase a cutter heavier than what they thought they needed, because those stumps will be hiding in the grass.
I working on a deal right now to replace my cutter. I’m hoping to pick up a TR308 next week.
Big fan of Rhino, I have a TW72 bought new in '91 and it has been worked! It has been kept inside and still looks great. Honestly, I don't like the new stumpjumper design. I try to cut trees down where I can mow over them, but there is always that stump. I've seen your videos of what you put the Frontier thru and for the price, that mower is hard to beat. Rhino prices have gone crazy.....hard sell when you can basically buy 3 Frontiers for the price of one Rhino. I guess you could drop down to a TW16 and get a better price point to compare.
They know people will pay the price because how well built they are
The Rino looks great. I can’t wait to see it in action. I do believe that you get what you pay for. Nice comparison between a middle of the road and top of the line brush cutters thanks.
Wow!!! That’s an upgrade!! That looks so nice!!! I dream of a batwing version from them. Looking forward to the video series Brock! Best, - J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
Dig , Drive, DIY had a @Rockhill Farms clip yesterday, Brock is famous
Yeah, I’ve met Neil a few times. He’s a great guy. I didn’t know he mentioned me in a video.
I have been wanting some brush clean up for a long time
I just bought a Walco. at an auction , seems to work good on smaller stuff
I have a Woods BB60.30 that is built similar to the Rhino, but has 2” cut capacity. Paid $3500 for it new last year. The blade is 4” wide vs 3” wide on my old cutter that was about the same quality as your frontier. The chain guard on mine was an upgrade option, standard (which I have) is a metal shield. All replaceable, which is nice. The Woods is a monster compared to my old cutter which was a standard duty 1” capacity unit. The tail wheel frame and 3 point frame ended up getting bent on it from pushing into things… I don’t see that happening on the Woods.
I love my 15ft rhino batwing. Its the rhino before rhino ag. Just put new blades, skid plates and new front pto shaft on it.
Yeah, looks like they’ve been making cutters for 50 years but had a couple name changes during that time. I think they went to rhino in the 80s.
@@RockhillfarmYT its bulletproof
I have a Rhino Ag 8 foot flail mower. It's a beast. Great products from them
to bend back your frontier flange, try a big pipe wrench, they work well!
Late to the vide, but I've always been curious about how much difference a high top cutter versus a low top cutter does in cut quality. Never had a chance to mess with a high top.
Thanks for reminding me that I still haven’t gotten any brush cutting jobs with mine!🤣😪🤬
Sure would've love to see the Rhino in action.
I’m doing that tomorrow.
When I introduce a new product, there’s a lot of talking and I like to separate the talking from the work and make it two separate videos
Thank U for the walk thru and info on these. Also how’s ur kids vehicles doing since the repairs and rebuild? Any more updates? Like all ur content Brock. Real Life. Plain and Simple.
Thanks. So far so good on the cars. Just got my daughters brakes done this weekend.
Rhino is closing and moving to the Bush Hog factory. If you want the best cutter - bar none - get a Schulte. Interestingly; all 3 of these companies are owned by the Alamo Group.
That thing is built very well! Can I borrow it?
*Keep on tractoring!*
Morning
I think you were fair in your video. That’s all anyone can ask. How many videos do you have to do to make it your own?
I see them for closer to 5k online, so not super crazy pricing. Still would have to use it near commercially to make it a justifiable purchase.
I just both a Bad Boy 48” HD Rotary cutter. It’s super overbuilt, and about $1000 less than the Frontier.
Brock, Rhino-Ag in Gibson City, IL is closing March 2025. 80 employees lost their jobs over this. Rhino-AG will now be built at their bush hog facility in Selma Alabama--to save money. It's unknown if they will be built to same HD standards (due to corporate saving money anyway they can) or just be a name only acquisition--labeled onto a lesser quality bush hog. You could have a collector item with that bush cutter. Better keep it.
The Bush Hog facility is in Selma, Al so if I had to guess Rhino will be the medium duty offering and Bush Hog will stay the Heavy duty. I don't blame any business for getting out of that state
On that green brush hog welld on a plate where it's rounded in the back thick
What you need depends on what needs to be done.
If your land is regularly mowed all you need is a finish mower. If mowed irregularly then get a slasher or flail mower.
I guess if you clear land on a contract basis or clearing your own land, then get a slasher built like a brick sh!t house. Stronk.
Just like you said. You get what you want to pay for.
Good content
How's the Jeep running?
So far so good
Is it actually 13½ inch on the inside?
Yes, other than the 2 or 3 inches where the tubing stick down at the reinforcement points
When you say 3" material, do you mean the manufacturer recommends it for up to 3" diameter trees? That seems a bit much, even for a well built cutter like that Rhino.
Yes, the manufacturer recommends 3 inch trees
@@RockhillfarmYT Wow. I've spent a fair amount of time "bush-hogging" over the years, but I don't try to tackle anything that big with those types of cutters. I take down stuff like that with a small chainsaw and save the cutter for **maybe** up to 2" material.
In all fareness to John Deere, you are comparing their entry level light duty model to Rhinos heavy duty model. To have a fair comparison you would have to compare John Deere's HX6 to the Rhino you have.
Ha Ha, apples to oranges comparison. Light weight JD to heavy duty Rhino? I think the point you’re trying to make, you get what you pay for. if a brush cutter will last10 years and that’s all you need, you’re good. During those 10 years, the money difference leveraged to good use will pay dividends.
That is the point I’m trying to make. John Deere has a heavier made brush cutter .
For some people the economy model might be the right choice, but there are real reasons to pay more for the premium version.
I can say from personal experience that Frontier cutters are trash! They're built as cheap as possible and don't hold up well if you use them hard. I only run Bush Hog now and wouldn't trade them for anything.
