Hey All,
I recently took over my grandfather's business. I've been working with him for 12 years. We do weedabatement/tree work in a pine forested area. We do about 300-500 hours a year in mowing, and mulching, except we've been using a gearmore flail on a 36 hp kubota, not the best tool for mulching... but I'm a good operator
I just sold the L3600 and got a Kubota SVL 90 (90hp Track Loader). Haven't bought a mower/mulcher yet. I'm new to the track loaders, so I need advice on what to get.
Do the mulchers mow weeds as well as a flail mower? Would you use a mulcher for mowing?
Are they worth the extra 10 grand over a good flail mower?
How long do they last? I don't want to buy one of these things every few years? 10-15 years would be decent, but with that kind of money I'd hope for more...
How do the Mulchers hold up to hitting a rock, or hard object? Does a tooth have to be repaired every time? Our flail with hard faced hammer knives would last a while hitting objects like that.
Help on the questions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a little overwhelmed at all the options, so many to choose from. I'd like something with a overall width of 77"-86".
Help, help, help.... I hate buying stuff and then regretting it later.
Thanks a bunch!
Bud
