Interesting... how often would it be used to justify the cost?

That guy in the video had it nice. How often is it that you can that close to the tree line..?

I like it, just wouldn't like all the bracches dropping on my tractor hood. How much does that thing cost ?

 

[XxLT250RxX]

Great for hunting lanes and roads.

This is for sale near me. It's been the best cutter I've seen on the market. No binding like with circle type cutters and no debris thrown everywhere like with rotary type cutters. It's faster and easier than hand held saws. Itll pay for itself with efficiency and ease of use in no

It is interesting. Have never used a cutter on a fel but have on compact excavator, flail mower head. Have used boom mower with flail cutter head on it on different tractors over the years. First can not tell what cutter action this is using, but my guess is sickle bar design. Did see it had issue with the pine tree limb. Wonder how it would handle oak? A flail mower has hard time itself with oak.

The point has been made about limbs dropping on the tractor, it will be only a matter of time with this set up before one hits and bounces back into the grill or into the fan from a side or bottom. Needed clearance is just not there for limbs of any size. Then the cutter may not handle limb of say three or four inches if not beneficial would it be?

seems similar to this

a costly attachment like this is asking for trouble, both in terms of safety to operator & mechanical damage to device or tractor
get an extendable power pole pruner then haul the brush piles w/pallet forks or grapple.

It's not a a flail or rotary type cutter. It has a shaft with high carbon steel blades. No debris flying like with that Lane brand rotary cutter and with the bucket on the tractor or the rake attachment it keeps limbs away from tractor. It can handle hardwoods and have cut up to a 6 inch limb to test it...all I can really say is it's a better and safer alternative to about any other product on the market...

Could you show a picture of cutter blades?

 

[lpmayhall]

If you've watched the video youd see it's nothing like the product you posted. First off it's not a rotary type cutter like a Bush hog... and it doesn't throw huge debris everywhere like one either...thanks for your input though...

Very unique product. Interested in details of how the cutter is design. Tractor mounted chainsaw limb cutters are the closest competitor. Pros and cons to each design.

Have miles of tree line to maintain. Always looking for a better, safer tool or method to help. Many of my trees and landscapes aren’t as cooperative as in the video.

When cutting compared to a chainsaw type cutter is less debris being thrown back at you or your equipment. As it cuts into limbs the chips and debris are thrown away from the direction of the cutter.

First off if you've watched the videos youd notice its nothing like the rotary cutter youve shared.... thanks for your input though...

Well, I watched the video, and it shows no up-close details of the cutter head. I think many folks here on TBN would like to know and see exactly what it is and how it work other than just the description of "zapping" branches. More details would be quit useful.

2nd, this appears to be advertising. If you're the one making these devices, you might want to consider talking to the owners of TBN about advertising.
