Bush Hog rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are
designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 3” diameter in areas such as
pastures and along highway right-of-ways. The mower is equipped with chain guards to prevent objects being
thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors,
and chains equipped on the unit must be maintained on the mower in good operational condition.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every
reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the
mower, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are
