1. TOUGH Cross Tubes. Strength that lasts is built
into boom cross tubes through use of large diameter,
round tubes and an extra manufacturing step that extends
tubes through the boom arms and welds them to the
inside and outside of the arm.
2. TOUGH Pivot Pins. Machined from cold rolled
steel to stand up to punishment. Grease zerks are easy to
reach and recessed to protect them from damage.
3. TOUGH Valves. Bush Hog loader valves are built to
perform and last. They are available in parallel or series
configurations that reduce wear by performing multiple
functions at the same time.
4. TOUGH Steel Hydraulic Lines. Bush Hog
loader hydraulic lines are rugged steel tubes with double
flares at the ends instead of the vulnerable rubber hoses
used by many competitors.
5. TOUGH Bucket Construction. The section
module top cap is welded to the back of the bucket and
bottom latch plate to form a strong backbone that can
handle torsion loads year after year. Commercial buckets
are reinforced at key stress points. Round tubing strength-
ens the top of the buckets while reinforced cutting edges
add durability to cutting surfaces.
6. TOUGH Latching Pins. Bush Hog loader latching
system is comprised of a cuff that takes the load off the
latching pin. The latching pin utilizes yellow dichromate
plating for long rust-free life. Many competitive latching
pins wear out quickly because the load rests entirely on a
small pin. The pin used in these competitive designs can
be difficult to remove regardless of loader position.
7. TOUGH Bucket Edges. Bush Hog buckets feature
edges made of 3/4 inch forged, hardened steel that is
beveled for enhanced performance.
8. TOUGH Loader Booms. Built of boxed Grade
50 steel beams for highest strength and lowest weight,
Bush Hog loader booms stand up to heavy loads year
after year. 3545 and 4045 loaders use standard A36
steel in thicker sizes.
9. TOUGH Welds. Strong, high quality robotic welds
of pedestal and booms provide consistent penetration that
withstands years of use.
10.TOUGH Mounting Kits. Bush Hog mounting kits
are as tough as Bush Hog loaders. Every kit is individually
designed for the tractor model using Coordinate Measur-
ing Machine (CMM) technology. Bush Hog mounting kits
mount to the tractor’s strongest mounting areas.
11.TOUGH Grill Guards. Bush Hog grill guards
compliment and protect tractors. Their box design with
tubular bars provide strength and durability.
12.TOUGH Cylinders. Bush Hog loader
cylinders feature high strength chrome-plated
cylinder rods and seal configurations that
provide superior performance.
