Sharing more pictures.

This big oak has had less live branches every year. Hear is a picture from five years ago:
----------------------------------------
This year it didn't have any leaves on it anywhere:

Put the stump bucket on the V417, raised the boom to 45 degrees and put the stump bucket against the trunk:

Got in the cab (FOPS), extended the boom about six inches and saw the crack in the ground:

Reached in and extended some more:

Roots are dead, it is going over easy:

That's crazy that you could push over a tree that big with a piece of equipment that size. Thanks for the pics.

Should have commented back when this was posted. The reason is the hydraulic cylinder that extends the boom.

Even at idle it has enough power to slide the heavy V417 backwards, if what it is pushing on doesn't move:

does anyone know:
1. does the v417 have a case drain?

2. 22 gpm stated flow-is that the flow to the aux, or the hydraulics specs of the machine?

3. is it a tandem pump or singular pump?

thanks for the help! im trying to see if an implement is compatible.

No case drain:

Aux.

3. is it a tandem pump or singular pump?

Look it up here: Bobcat Genuine Parts Catalog – Official Bobcat Company site

thanks for the help! im trying to see if an implement is compatible.

There are workarounds for no case drain, but I have never needed it.

has anyone had to replace the front windshield? reason is mine got busted in transport and is at the bobcat dealership now in atlanta. they've never seen a V417, but it looks like it shouldnt be out of their wheelhouse. anything i should be worried about/look out for from anyone's experience on here? thanks!

I guess nobody has had to replace the windshield.

We need an update on yours and did you get a mower for it?

Just to refresh your memory on my 7' brush hog:

icnu · Oct 24, 2020

it arrived last weekend! i only had time to put 6-7 hours on it. started clearing off my old burn pile-went places i would never go with my tractor! inclines, ditches, over stuff that would have rolled my tractor-love this machine. the only attachment i have so far is the 72" bucket it came with, with bolt on cutting edge.

i purchased a quick attach 72" brush buster, should be delivered first week of november. Loflin Fab grapple, stump bucket, and pallet forks coming also-super nice folks. right now, work is getting in the way form getting projects done

did my picture come thru? if not, maybe someone could provide guidance. thanks!
