We have a T770 enclosed cab bobcat track loader with all bobcat attachments. I really enjoy running the bush hog, grapple and brush cutter which can cut up to 6 inch trees. The bigger trees we dig up with one of our bobcat excavators then saw them up and use the grapple to remove them. Seems we do a lot of the same work as you do, maybe that’s why I enjoy your channel so much. Have fun be safe and keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for all the videos.

[@kato0507]

The amount of control and precision you can get with one of those is actually really impressive

My dad used to tell us about being in Europe during WWII and getting orders that there was going to be a “surprise” attack with a squadron of Churchill tanks! 🤔 They were in front of the tanks and could hear them coming for miles, so the Germans were not at all surprised by the “surprise” attack!

[@seansysig]

Matt your content is fun, interesting and instructional keep up the great work. Can't wait for the Lo-Boy trailer & truck project. Can you help me understand, is the 16gpm (high flow 20gpm) hydraulic flow spec of the S185 the hydraulic pump max flow and the operator must subtract the flow load of 2 track motors & 2 loader cylinders to calculate flow remaining for implements? If it is I'm really impressed with the brush cutters performance. It really made quick work cleary the brush, especially those gnarly vines! The pin mods are stout and well designed and they seem to solve the issue with the cheaply made bolts. Purchasing a set of blades made of better steel should improve performance and lessen vibration. I still believe the brush cutter is still under powered (not spinning at 1060RPM @20GPM). I guess it is less violent, but not as efficient on the larger pieces. Impressive I wonder how it would work at full speed?

[@maximilianrockefeller8854]

This reminds me of my years living on an old dilapidated farm property growing up. Spent a good 6 years clearing back the wilderness, endless brush piles burned and sifting the land for all the antique machinery and fencing that had buried itself over the last 150 years. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaard work....

Get two steel plates attached to the front sides of the mower. They will act as a brush guide to pull brush into the mower. You can use it like a hook to pull brush away from objects as in the case of the house. Once the brush is away from the house. You can safely take the mower to the brush without getting to close to the house.
