I bet that thing costs $3k a day to rent.
Went to their website just now......and rental is far less than said here. 24 hours with mulch head is $1200. Can rent for four hours or for 24 hours....or multiple days.

That’s not bad. I’d get one of those tomorrow, if I could for that price.Went to their website just now......and rental is far less than said here. Can rent for four hours or for 24 hours. Could get allot of work done in four hours.

Yeah....I was wondering about that...... The damage costs could be real significant if you have a bad set of circumstances. I wonder what it costs to replace the carbides if you hit some rocks? I'd have allot of questions to ask about those. The did have a large machine with a hydraulic driven brush cutter too. The kid in the yard seemed to know allot about them.....and thought you could mow trees up to 4" and more. Likely a better deal for many of us. It rents cheaper too.
My thoughts exactly. Wear and tear on those things is significant even with a good operator.
Looks like a smaller version of what they use to clear whatever is in there way when the do the strips for power lines every so many years. The big ones look like they could chew a vehicle up with no problem.
I have used a brush wolf brand on a skid steer and it worked well. Not as practical as my flail mower pto driven for the things I need to do. Great for making a new trail/road but that's about it for me. Now I have an excavator for clearing and don't know how I ever lived without it.
I have not. My rental place doesn't get into specialty equipment much. There is a huge amount of risk with renting equipment for the equipment owner. All of these machines have the ability to destroy themselves with the wrong operator. That being said, I don't rent skid steers from them anymore because they are so underpowered they cannot even turn with an empty bucket. I still rent the digger because it's cheap and it does what it needs to do. The hydraulic pump leaves a lot to be desired because it cannot do three functions at once, and that slows down productivity.
