[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3763104, member: 14646"] Finally picked up my Rhino 60" brush hog for my Kubota tractor last weekend and cut about two total acres of field/pasture. The cut was OK and seemed to cut well but almost thrashed the grasses and brush into submission more than cutting it. Some of the larger stems of the brush (1/4" - 1" stems) are all splintered instead of more of a cut. I understand it probably wasn't designed to cut like my zero turn mower but was expecting better. I know Rhino Ag has a good reputation for their equipment. I checked the blades and they are not so much sharp as they are more blunt. Almost think my ceiling fan blades have a better leading edge on them than the mower. I've check a fair amount online and videos are showing people sharpening them to a fairly fine edge. Not like an axe or anything but darn near as sharp as a lawn mower blade. How sharp do you all grind your brush hog blades? I think my blades are 1/2" thick so to sharpen them up could take quite a bit amount of time. What do you say? How sharp of an edge? [ATTACH type="full"]266168[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
