Went turkey hunting at my club last Saturday morning and this was parked right where we turn off a secondary road onto the dirt road that leads down to our hunt cabin. It's a Woods Boss by VME, they've been discussed here before but this was my first up close look at one. I think it was a model TBE 110 or something like that. Their website is Home if you want to look at it. According to the info, this one looks like it might have a 112hp turbo diesel engine in this machine. I think these are actually built by a New Holland dealer in Atlanta.
Believe it or not, the outside bead of the right front tire was about halfway off of the rim. I guess the crew was planning to get it fixed one day this week? They are under contract with SCE&G power company to clear the right of way's and are working the area where my club's 400 acre lease is. They were up at my parent's house about a month or so ago clearing right behind the house, but I missed them then since I live about 70 miles from there. That winch up front is hydraulic, about 20k lbs of pull. The grill on this one was pretty much wasted, even though it was sort of sitting in place. There was LOTS of debris on the oil cooler or radiator (wasn't sure what it was), they ought to be paying more attention to that!
Here's the super heavy duty mower, it looked like it was a 6ft mower. The label was scrubbed off, but the metal nameplate did indicate it was made in Italy. I bet that sucker weighs about 1200lbs or more! Notice the MASSIVE gearbox on that one! The skids on the front of the mower deck were about 1" thick steel, the deck felt like maybe 1/2" thick steel!! The tail wheel was gone, probably either got too bent up or maybe broken off?? The rear bumper on the left side was stuck all the way in. These guys are not too good at maintenance, huh?
Here's one of the blades, all of a foot long! That pan was about 4ft diameter, would guess about 250-300 lbs or so??
I checked to see if the keys were in it... No go, or I was gonna clear out some shooting lanes at the huntclub!! :licking:
