    Brush Cutter Value???

    Brush cutter value ??? Dodge07around, Good thing you passed on the Bullhog. Even if you had a BIG high flow machine 60" is all they can handle for the fixed tooth (Fecon style) Most important is what you will do with it. The other guys gave you some names, look up shredders , mulchers, Skid...

    The 9,s Dr.W, Stick Pro,Blue 02 TJ..... How are the new machines doing ? What are your opinions on 7c,8c,9c ? Would the 7,s radial be a good choice for mulching? I know it gives up lift but H.P. is same. If I go vertcal with the 8 is it worth the extra $ for the 8-9 H.P. of the 9 ? Are you...

    rotary vs. fail mower

    rotary vs.flail mower 05 rammer, Sounds like you have a fixed tooth mulcher already ? I have demo'ed quite a few brands. The rotary,s mow good but leave long clumps of grass or weeds (whatever length your cutting) The flails are much more versatile, I run a Rockhound 84 FH. with a triple...

    prfire20, I agree, lots of buddies have them. Have run a few at 1/2 day or so, Super in snow, not so fun in rock and gravel-(if you have to buy the parts). Im sure they wont be good in snow with the embedded type tracks, but the new 9,s caught my eye,I am going to try one.

    new Deere skid steers

    333d The new fan is hydraulic drive,it also (optional) has a reversing feature with a timer. Its outside (sucker) As a Deere owner, the weak point on the 332 was the inside (pusher) fan would "bean" the radiator with debris and fold the fins over. Every other month I get a six pack of...

    can rubber track machine push snow

    tracks on snow I stand corrected. Winter before last My buddie Dan and I thought we could make a few bucks moving snow up in Fall River. He also has a CT-332, the first series with the bolted on cab towers. Our great idea fell short quick when we couldnt even get out of his own driveway...

    can rubber track machine push snow

    pushing snow Caterpillars undercarriage is a spinoff of a "snow-go" like the utilty companies use. Its soft and flexible with no steel bars across the tracks. Except for the 289c-299c. They perform well in the snow as do the ASV,s because they are the same manufacturer. Cat owns part of ASV...
