Another bush hog question

Yes I know that's not the proper name.whats the usual thickness of steel when redecking "brush hog"decks? Another question:is there diesel still available that doesn't go "bad" so soon?seems like it used to last at least a couple years, just drain moisture from bottom of tank and fuel filters and go!

10ga one eight is adequate but 7ga three sixteenth is better if the machine is worth it.

Would 1/4" be too thick? It's a 6 ft cutter

Go half inch...it won't bounce as much

I re decked my bush hog brand with I/8 steel. That is same as bush hog built it with. At least I can stand on it without stepping through th rusty spots. Tommy

The neighbor we bought our water from when I was young had a homemade, VERY heavy duty brush mower. He used 1/4" on it. I don't remember what tractor he had (not even the color....stupid me!), but it was only a 6' mower. However, he made it for being able to cut down and mow over up to 6" trees!! I never saw it up close, but we could certainly hear it working in the distance now and then!!
