Tractors, Mowers, Chippers, Trailers, Chainsaws, Generators, Driveway Erosion Control, ETC.

I’m assuming these will be all mowing tomorrow

 

Mini excavator and skidsteers

love the mini excavators, look like a lot of fun.

 

I have a track type skid steer also but don't have any pics of it handy

 

Can get a lot of work done fast that way.

 

Of course!
This is a non-tractor that we have, it’s pretty darn useful.

 

Stump/tree grinder attachment?

 

So my co-worker's sod was 1" of dirt on AR rocky dirt. Cantaloupe sized rocks. My sod cutter had no chance to work. We plan B'ed it--cultivator ripped it and scooped. My little lawnmower did pretty good. Hauled several thousand lbs of dirt to my house and unloaded it. I'm beat. Going back tomorrow.

Looked like a fun play date!!

 

I want that head for my skidsteer. Now I am the envious one

 

Lol my brother is the rental manager at “Powerco” and had rented one of these last year.... ripping down smaller trees and stumps... crazy I say! Also grabs some other tractors and attachments if needed

 

Any seat time is good time

 

100% agree! Something about working and a tractor... like a beer after work...

 

Yep, it’s a Gyro-Trac forestry Mulcher, it works really well but in reality for commercial work it needs more than the 74 horsepower of the 289D.

It’s really nice and useful but the maintenance is a pain, when we run it we have to sharpen the teeth every 8 hours or so, clean under the cab of the machine daily, and replace the teeth every 40 hours or so.
Not too long ago I had one of the teeth come off when I was using it, super sketchy to have a 1/2lb tooth fly off and disappear into the woods (thankfully not through the door and into me).

 

How expensive are the teeth? Do you know how many gpm of hydraulic flow that machine has? Is it the standard or high flow machine.

 

Trying to figure out how to load the video ... this thing looks dangerous!

 

Around $700 for 30 teeth (there are 24 on the head), the machine is a high flow, 32 gallons/min at 4,000 PSI, 76 hydraulic horsepower.

I found the easiest way is to upload to YouTube and then share.
They are fairly dangerous, super dangerous on open cab machines.
This is a short video I did on our machine.

Gotcha... my brother says you can get in over your head pretty easy if ya don’t watch what you’re doing... gotta respect the machinery!

 

Mowed grass with brother joe. He mows 6 acres at a school next to his place. Drive tractor through the field... easy ride. Was a bit breezy and cool but got it done.

 

Also in the tractor shed
