    Default Billy Goat Slashers

    Anyone had anything to do with these. They look the bees knees for slashing. Here's the specs

    - Heavy duty 12 Gauge steel deck
    - Automatic blade brake for safety
    - Pneumatic Tractor lug tyres
    - Cutting height 2.75 - 3.75 inch
    - 13hp Briggs and Stratton or Honda engine option
    - Rear Cable Guard, Prevents cable from damage or accumulation of unwanted debris.
    - Ergonomic Handle Grips, Increase operator comfort and improve stability. Steel hand guards provide protection against fences and thorny brush.
    - Adjustable Skid Shoes, Change cut height from 2-3/4” to 3-3/4”.
    - Rear Discharge Deck, Cut debris rolls out slowly and safely after it is cut.
    - Puncture-Proof Tires, High flotation turf tires are pre-filled with puncture sealant from the factory.
    - Reinforced Spindle Assembly, Buttressed in four directions to give you confidence in any mowing situation.
    - Sealed Transaxle, With limited slip differential. Three forward plus one reverse gear, no chains to maintain.
    - Ease of Service, Front hatch lifts off for easy inspection and service.

    Been there done that,
    We had one for a year and sold it as what work we found for it took forever our Kawasaki 62cc Brushcutter cut the grass much quicker.

    Also you are in trouble if you hit a hidden object ie a tree stump had one or two near misses there.

    Lastly ever try to mow 5 acres of long grass walking behind a 800mm slasher it takes almost a day.

    Purchased a tractor and 5ft 1.5 m slasher now no more bother just have to keep onlookers away
    best regards Gary B and J mowing

    Looks ok but I don't like the fact it goes to 3.75" high, I think a slasher needs to go to at least 5" to be effective.
