In June I purchased a Pro Cut 66" cutter bar to mount on the front of my tractor, after watching a good video I had seen on YouTube. I bought mine to attach to my universal quick attach on my front end loader. They also make a unit that clamps onto your loaders bucket, and those are considerably cheaper.....but I like the increased visibilty and the freatures of this mount I bought. Their was supposed to be about an 8 week wait....but that turned into more like 12 weeks....but the unit showed up this week. These units run via a hydraulic motor and use the tractor hydraulics to power that motor. Very nice kit here.
The hardest part of the assembly may have been getting the unit out of the (four) cartons it was shipped in. All came via UPS in those 4 cartons/crates. 3 cardboard boxes were strapped and taped.....no danger of loosing any parts. The main cutter bar unit was encased in a wood shipping crate and all secured with tape and more straps. I finally got all the parts out of the boxes and then spent about 2 hours to bolt the parts together and hook up the hydraulic hoses to my rear remotes.
I bought all the hoses and complete kit from Agrishield......and I am glad I did. All the components are first rate and the hoses are the right length to route to my tractor...just as anticipated. I fastened the hoses with a few zip ties and also used some of the Kubota hose routing on the tractor. With all connected I gave the unit a trial run. I cleared about 400 yards of overgrowth from my trails in about 10 minutes time. Pretty sweet. The largest limb I cut was about a 1" oak limb and that is about as big as I would recommend. It really did a nice job of what can be a very time consuming project with all the trails I have on my property.
You can operate this machine vertically (as shown) or horizontally like a mower, or use to trim hedges and along ponds, etc. Also can place the cutter bar at various angles and closer or further into the brush via the sliding tube and connectors,
Keep in mind.....these guys make professional equipment for the orchard industry and lots of implements they make is geared to those functions. Good stuff. There are some wear parts and you can expect to have to replace some blades and such....especially if you are abusive. But I think for my purposes this is just about the best I can do unless I want to spend lots more money on a lane shark or something similar. Here are some pics. Will review again after more seat time with this item. At this point I would buy it again.
