[AT] Brush Hog

[dglass]

I think you do have the brand mixed up.   I think King Cutters are 
fairly generic and lightweight cutter some at farm supply stores.  I 
know what you are talking about though I cannot think of the name of it 
either.  I think its like Kwik Kut or Klean Kut or something like that.  
I think they are made in Savannah, Georgia and are very heavy duty and 
high priced bush hogs.  You can mow tress up to about 4 inch across with 
them.  They are used by forest service people and they will run over 
about anything.  I think the housings are made out of 3/8 or thicker 
plate and they are very heavy.
