[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 447952, member: 3162"] I have a 1954 model Servis cutter that is indeed a brush hog. I am not referring to "Bush Hog" brand, but rather a brush hog. It has 28 inches of deck above the blades and can mow through mesquite, oak, sumac, bois' darc, and most any hardwood up to 6 inch diameter, without getting choked down. It is all about clearance above the blade and blade design. Most anything you buy with a bat wing only has 6 to 8 inches of deck above the blades. They are great for mowing weeds, vines and such to clean up existing pasture. But if you are truly considering something for mowing through brush, you need much more deck above the blades in order to prevent clogging up and choking down the unit, based on my experience. Servis was bought out by Rhino some time in the 60's or so. Rhino makes good brush hogs, but I haven't seen any unit that compares to the old Servis brand. [/QUOTE]
