[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1610117, member: 17956"] I don't have a MOCO. At the urging of many (not here BTW), I made the first cut with a bushhog. Everybodies theory was that my drum mower would mow it too close and kill it. Also general belief was the bushhog would chop it smaller and it would dry faster. I made the first cut with a bushhog. Tractor squashed some down, and didn't cut it. I also thought it killed some. Made second cut with a drum mower. It got it all of course, but I thought it killed an equal amount as the bushhog. I saw no difference in dry time, but I'm certain the drum mower does thin the stand. My guess is, that a disc mower would do a better job. A drum mower just mows a little closer than a disc. I have cut johnson grass when it got too tall many times with a bushhog. This stuff is tender compared to JG. [/QUOTE]
