Finally, the shear won't throw anything; I'd be more concerned about someone being around an unguarded saw blade than my MX5 as far as projectiles go.
That's a really valid concern, which I've also thought about as well. I'm impressed that it works that well on a small tractor like that (relative to what you normally see a tree shear on). I'm now thinking maybe I COULD operate a shear like that. The only disadvantage I see, is not being able to use the grapple at the same time. Do they make any that go on the 3 pt hitch? It would be nice to be able to take down all those trees like you did, then turn around and dump them on a burn pile! Although for someone like you with a bad neck, I can see where this isn't an option. Do you plan on burning or chipping them?
Lastly,
How did the price compare to the Turbo Saw? (equal, a lot less, a lot more etc?)
We all want to see some more pics of it in action
