The BEST Front Loader Attachment EVER? Lane Shark Brush Cutter is Here!

When I saw this brush cutter for the first time, I knew I had to have it. From the comfort of my tractor cab the new Lane Shark LS4 Brush Cutter is about to change the way I maintain my land. Today I'm unboxing the Lane Shark LS4 Brush Cutter and installing the C-Flow Third Function Kit from start to finish. Tune in to see exactly what comes with the kit and how the installation goes down. Glad you're all here, here we go!

❤ the sparkle in your eye when the joy of your new toy hit you...made me realize that's why I'm still watching your videos. Years ago I was determined to buy a sawmill! Did tons of research, decided on woodland mills for a variety of reasons. Next day, the algorithm sent your channel to me. I instantly liked the way you teach, stayed to learn. Shit happens and years later I still don't have my sawmill, but I'm still watching your channel. A friend is watching w/me and she said, I don't understand a thing he's saying. I said, neither do I, but he's so passionate about it, I can't help but watch! So, thank you for sharing your passion with the world!! It's heartwarming to see people doing something they ❤

[@sawingwithsandy]

Those kind words are very much appreciated. Thank you for all your support over the years!

[@LaneSharkUSA]

It's not often that we get to see such a well documented and thorough DIY install process. We appreciate you big time Sandy! Thank you for the support, we can't wait to see you clean up your snowy trails with your new LS4.

I rented a Kubota excavator with one of those on the end. In one day I had accomplished more than six men could have done in a week. The ability to hold it vertical and the ability to come down from the top and mulch small trees was incredible.

Very cool Sandy. Just a mention, be very careful when you tip the blades down and cut something. We learned the expensive way that we needed a brush guard on the tractor when our brush hog blew a stick through the rad. Luckily it was the boss running it 😂😂

Thanks for sharing that. Lots to learn for me for sure.

Thank you! I appreciate that and glad you found the video to be thorough. See you soon on the next video!

[@saintaugustine1715]

good morning Sandy there we go a new toy lol i know you will a lots of use out of it cleaning the sides of you rode and the fact that it is in the front it sure will make easier to see what your doing . I do have a little concern though most of that sort of equipment do suggest to have a special windshield that is more resistant in case of debris flying in it so be careful when you use it up in the air have a great day can't wait to see it in operation

[@sawingwithsandy]

Definitely something to be mindful of. I think the big thing for me is to make sure I can never seen the blades as that should keep the debris moving away from me

[@TheSatillaHomesteader]

I have a Lane Shark LS3. It's the smaller one. It's a game changer. I love your channel, keep up the good work.

Great to hear it’s worked great for ya. I’m looking forward to get some time on mine soon

Impressive machine, I didn’t know you could cut without going over top of stuff. Excellent job explaining the installation alot of people will check this out. Good work can’t wait to see it in operation

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Russell! Will be great for turning the cutter 90 degrees as well for those branches hanging over my trails Im thinking. I’m really looking forward to using this

[@toddrabideau5576]

Well that’s some nice additions there Sandy! I’ve been eyeing one of those mowers for a couple years now. Be great to hear your thoughts. And finally a third function! The grapple just got even handier. Lol. A side note though: have you ever talked about that nice anvil you got there, in video? Don’t recall seeing if so, but I like it and the setup 👍

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hi Todd! I'm looking forward to getting it out onto the trails. I'll have a video of that up real soon. As for the anvil that was a scrap yard find a couple years ago. Get's a lot of use for random projects I find. Here's the video I made when I first got it kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3qYmomblNGra9ksi=opvQWaxzzvrtFhD5

[@davidlinux]

You are going to love your 3rd function. Nice brush hog/rotary mower. I have a Dirt Dog 3 point PTO rotary cutter. It’s on my baby Deere (2025R). They make keeping the grounds clear so easy. Keep up the great work

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks David! the third function sure is a great change from just using the rear remotes like I was using

[@johnwoody4905]

good video and job. really nice set up. wished i had one. snow and ice covered limbs can do some damage. any body that buy one needs to watch your video. take care, be safe and well.

[@job38four10]

Good instructions on 3rd function hook up. I see a couple things you still need, heat in the shop and a skid plate...........

[@sawingwithsandy]

For sure. I thought about heat in the shop but cost ended up stopping me for the time being

[@MrJFoster1984]

Great video. Looking forward to see it in action. I was looking at the snow on your tyres feeling sorry for you in the cold, have you ever thought about an oil burner for the workshop Sandy, when you have some ATF and engine oil from changes laying around, keep you nice and toasty 👍

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for coming along for the video. I have thought about some heater before for my shop but my main concern is all the heat rising up . I think if I were to insulate the shop I’d be more likely to consider heating it. May have to look into those oil burners. Sounds like a great option

[@jerryward9840]

Looks like a beast.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Sure is going to give the brush a run for it's money

[@carlmclelland7624]

That looks like a very professional setup they provide. (AND a professional job of installation, Sandy)!! You didn't mention it, but the pressure line and return line have different connectors so they cannot be connected reversed. You also did a good job on installing the controller in the cab, and zip tying all the wires and hoses. I'm guessing either the mower or grapple operate from the same controller now? You have another, existing set of hydraulic connectors on the loader crossbar. What are those for, Sandy? Have you got a front end, hydraulic snow blower? Or???? Having operated a rear mount, PTO driven mower those things can be extremely dangerous. This one especially, with the cutting blade extending beyond the front of the mower deck. They'll easily start fires if the blade strikes rock, and there's A LOT of torque when those blades are spinning. Make damn sure your dog or other pet is nowhere near that thing when you operate it. Looking forward to seeing it in action....

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hey Carl! Thanks for checking out the install. Well pretty well I think. The third connection that came with the third function kit is the pressure line for the grapple which has two separate buttons on the joystick to operate. Up until now I was using long hoses hooked to my rear remotes running up to the front loader to operate my grapple. This third function will be a huge upgrade for that

[@yvesjolicoeur747]

great job. Looking forward to see it in action. I wonder if it can replace a Brush hog

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hi Yves! I’m thinking it should replace the need for a brush hog

[@chrisgramstorff996]

[@sawingwithsandy]

[@why-be-normal7014]

U should grind a flat spot on the shifter rod so the handle doesn’t spin after u tighten it

Hey there Brian! I'm just about to head out to clear some snow as well. big storm all around it seem last night. Currently really snowing hard here. With the third function kit once you wrap your head around where your loader valve is it gets easier

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Jase. No orange haha

[@bwillan]

You didn't show the coolest feature of the Lane Shark. The 90 degree pivot so it becomes easy to run down a fence line of edge of the woods and clear the over hanging branches. The first time you use that new 3rd function valve on the loader joystick, you'll likely say why did I wait so long to get one of these. LOL One of the other youtube channels I watch (Out of the Woods) has one and he seems to like it.

[@sawingwithsandy]

I"ll be sure to get the positions into action soon. Sure will be great for trimming the overhanging branches of mine. I sure wish I had a third function years ago. Glad the time finally came. Will be great to see how it performs out in the cold winter as well

[@roberto.peterson9917]

now that you have third function is there a grapple in the the future????? hope so think it a valuable function fir you

[@sawingwithsandy]

I bought a HLA root rake with grapple when I got the tractor. It’s a great unit for sure. I used to run it off the rear remote hoses

[@dennissholly1296]

How many hp is your tracktor do you have to manually rotate mower

[@tpctrash]

Since you cut the steel rod doesn’t that make that lower to reach?

[@sawingwithsandy]

The new third function kit handle is longer so it ends up being the same finished height as the stock one

[@dennishayes65]

What are the other 3rd function valves for ?

[@sawingwithsandy]

The ones I had in the middle of my torque tube on the loader are long hoses hooked to my rear remotes. THat's how I used to control my grapple

[@exotictones1054]

I wonder how it's going to cut coming down side ways on the branches on narrow trails cause you can't come in straight if there not wide enough.that's the trouble i have.

[@sawingwithsandy]

In this case this Lane Shark is pretty unique because the blades can actually rotate so they are perpendicular to the ground. Makes for a great tool for cutting branches overhanging trails

[@robertwazniak9495]

I’d be curious if there is going to be debris kicked back at you much when you do higher brush cutting. If it does, I would be concerned with the windshield catching something and getting broken.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Good question Robert. I’ll have it up High in the air real soon trimming some trails. I think as long as the blade is t visible from the cab it should be good

The two connection points on the torque tube on my loader which were there before my third function kit install are long hoses hooked to my rear remotes. This will be my first third function that I'll use for the grapple now

[@mikewatson4644]

The rear outlets are not intended to work with a hydraulic motor. A motor control valve will allow the motor to slow down and then stop. The regular remote valve would cause the motor to stop abruptly and damage seals and eventually the motor. There is a lot of momentum with the blades spinning.
