UFM82,
I am considering purchasing 2 new C-series Toolcats (tubo, hi-flow, heat, A/C, deluxe road package, turf tires, air pre-cleaner, primary rear hydraulics, pto kit, keyless start, bed liner, rear window guard, radio, etc.) with FC200 flail cutter and the 90" mower attachment for ROW maintenance and large institutional/industrial property management.
Questions:
-I understand the flail cutter is approved for use on the Toolcat, but because of the size and weight, does the Toolcat handle this attachment well(hydraulic wise)? I will be mowing 2'-3' high grass with intermittent small brush.
-Which way does the flail rotor rotate, (forward or reverse rotation)?
-One change I have noticed on the C-series Toolcats is the visor on the top front of the cab (which the 4 work lights are mounted under). It appears to be made of plastic and has been extended over the work lights by a couple of inches. Also, the 2 inboard work lights have been spaced slightly closer to the outboard lights. Do you know why they have changed this? Has the cab been redesigned?
-I have received an itemized quote from my local dealer and have noticed that the air filter intake pre-cleaner kit (which is a must for mowing) costs $619.70. Why is the price so high? What else is the kit composed of other than a clear dust separator bowl and extension pipe? Is my dealer is trying to stick-it-to-me?
-What is the maximum degree of slope a Toolcat can traverse?
I would appreciate any feedback or experience you may have with the above questions. Thanks.
Eric V.
