Hello everyone, Glad I found this forum before I buy one. If you all will indulge me I will give some background. My wife and I are moving to WV in 3 years semi-retired both of us. I am 44 my wife is 49 we are going to buy now and start working the land which is me. So...now to the good part I have been looking for a multi use machine for several months and I keep coming back to the PT 1850. I need something that can do it all within reason and I feel this is it. The best part is I have pretty much as much work as I want or need as far as property maintance. Kut-kwick did a demo Wed. on the property we are buying wonderful job but, it is only a cutter so it is no good to me plus the price is out of my league. Now sorry for the rambling here are my ?'s. When brush cutting say more of overgrowth than a pasture setting how many acres can be cut a hour? Has anyone run the trencher tree shear post hole digger at slope? Thanks for the site and your time. I don't intend to work this machine full time or tear it up I really would just like some real world opinions.
