Mulcher Heads....What you runnin and WHY?

[tuckinlugz]

I thought that Cimaf could only sell excavator heads and could not sell any for skid steers or CTL's..... I know that they lost the lawsuit with gyro trac. Did something happen that I missed?

Cimaf has came out with generation 3 heads the rotor is slightly different from the cimaf/gyro trac rotor. So there suppose to be able to sell the gen. 3 in the states.

Sorry if I posted some mis-information. What do the new gen 3 heads cost?

I'm always amazed to see how facts often get distorted or reduced. So, to get things straight:

1. See in attachment the joint press release that Gyro-Trac and DENIS CIMAF issued back in December 2008, after they settled their dispute. The extra subtleties of the contract that was then signed are confidential.

2. I would like to invite anyone who receives partial information - such as what tuckinlugz received - to send me an email at frederic.denis@deniscimaf.com, giving me details of what they were told, and by whom.

3. As for the generation-3 heads, they are pre-production models using a completely new technology, different from the "technology developed by DENIS CIMAF" at the time of the signature of the settlement agreement.

I believe that I read this information on this site. I re-read the letter in your post as it seems like does say that DF can not make heads that attach as front mounted units ie skid steers etc. using their technology.

As for making a "new" technology, I was unaware of this.

Thanks for the info!

Anyone have an opinion on skid pro rotary cutters? skidpro.com

297 just run the 180D although the motor is a little small it works just fine. I ran one on my 148 for a year and no problems at all. The motor runs out of displacement pretty quick so the difference between min and max are not as apparent as with the smaller hp machines but it worked for us.

 

[cat 297c]

Robbie, told me it was impossible to run the 180d on the rayco without causing damage to the motor on the 180d. Did u upgraded the pulleys? Are U still running the cimaf on the 148? Bet it's amazing on it, got any videos of it running would love to see it in action with the 148.

 

[WestshoreConstruction]

Nope pulleys and all the same. The 148 doesn't put out nearly as much hyd flow as advertised all the time. It ran fine, like I said it would have been nicer to have a 160-180 cc motor but they don't fit in the housing. You are definitely stretching the 107 on there but..... It's up to you. It does cut very good on the 148.

The 148 burnt this spring so it's not running no more but it was a nice little machine. It had its issues same as them all but that's not the topic here. I don't intend to replace it as I have no use for any machine under 250 hp any more. Good luck.
