I’m now part of the club! 2009 ToolCat with seemingly all of the options. Was previously owned by two farmers and I was told that it was never used for spreading salt. High hours (4300) but appears to be very well-maintained. I noticed that each of the filters had the hours handwritten to...

Does your mower eject any material from the front of the machine?

Yes, that’s exactly the type I’m referring to.

Has anyone used a PTO adapter with a 3-point brush cutter? I already have a Deere MX-5, so I was thinking that the path of least resistance was to use that on my Toolcat with an adapter.

Does the Brushcat shoot any material out the front of the machine? Is that common for skid steer brush cutters? I rented a disc mulcher in the past and didn’t realize how much material gets ejected from the front. I dented a car with gravel and broke two windows in my house.

@rocco611 Looks like sickle mowers are not common to find as rentals. Have you seen them at any larger rental companies?

Yes, I'm asking about the 90" finish mower. Is it so much more productive that I should just rent a brush cutter for the initial cut and then maintain with the finish mower?

I'm buying a D-series on Monday and need to find a brush cutter. I have 10 acres to cut and most of it is wild fields. Can a 90" mower go through 7-foot teasels and grass, if the speed is reduced? Or does it make more sense to get a proper brush cutter?

Is the PT-1850 with dual tires more stable on undulating terrain than a compact track loader?

Offset flail is a great idea. Too bad they can’t be rented. But would rather pay for one than tip over.

I’m not looking for any precision. Anything that can indicate to me that the ground is not flat would be useful. Maybe something as simple as pushing a cart or wagon.

I have 10 acres of of five-foot growth. There are quite a few holes in the ground from when the property was a tree farm. Is there some kind of attachment (DIY or manufactured) that I can put on the bucket to act as a lookout for holes and really uneven terrain?

Thanks. That's what my hunch was, but since I have no experience with chainsaw operators, I thought I'd ask.

I need to selectively cut down about fifty trees or so. Most are between six and eight inches. I’ve rented a high-flow CTL with mulching head in the past and have also hired a 250hp machine to thin out about 10 acres of growth. All I need now is a bit of surgical mulching so that I can brush hog...

What are the meaningful differences between the UW56 and 5600? All I see is marketing material stating how the machine was completely reimagined. But it looks pretty much the same and the feature list isn't all that different from the 5600.
