brush hog

Heavy vegetation mower

A brush hog is a heavy-duty rotary mower towed behind a tractor, used to clear overgrown fields, thick weeds, and small saplings.

Unlike lawn mowers, brush hogs can cut through dense vegetation that would jam lighter equipment: We need to brush hog the back pasture before it turns to forest.

Also called a bush hog, after a popular brand name.
