Comparing a TC to UTV is like comparing a car to a truck.
Bigger, and has more capabilites and feautres.

Radman, I finally got to see a TC 5610 on Monday.
That is a nice machine! I'm hoping to try one out, see what it can do

That is like saying, "Isn't a Kubota BX just a big lawnmower?"

Since when has a BX been big?

Hello radman1,
Are you able to use a backhoe with the TC5610?

 

[stewmoore]

I checked out the TC5610 yesterday and unfortunately it can't use a backhoe. I guess its back to a compact tractor.

Since any flavor of TC cannot be put into neutral (i.e. free-wheeling), I'm not sure what a hoe on a TC would be good for other than digging holes (as opposed to longer trenching). Same with the hoe attachments for skid steers as far as I can tell. I mean, it's not like you can pop the tranny into neutral and use the hoe to move 'ya when trenching. (In this regard, my BX23 is way cooler than my TC despite the fact that I can only trench 4'-5' deep. )

well................so much reading................so much info..............i was sold on a 5600 then i saw radmans dump box and the bed being the only thing holding me to a 5600 has now turned into a 5610 search............

question......ive read a few different peoples posts on the 90 inch finish mower - - -does this attachment leave a lawn quality cut? or just a "nice brush hog cut"

thanks people .....a pricing i will go.......

 

[snowboss94]

yes i know this is a year old post....lol

 

[radman1]

The cut of the 90" mower is as good as any rear finish mower I have owned on a CUT. It is very good but not quite as good as a zero turn. It has a much better cut than a rotary mower.

Awesome, thanks..............the wife and I are restarting a family business that was liquidated because ..................well ................it was a family business [note to self.....do not go into business with family, lol] so we are trying to get the most versatile piece of equipment that will be the "core" of the company for a while. we've looked at CUT's and side by sides and skid steers {had them all in the last business along with a mini excavator} and while having all that equipment is nice we just can't justify all those payments right now. we even researched the used market heavily and by the time you get anything worth buying lined up we will have spent more than a lightly used 5610 or even a new one and a couple attachments.

we even looked pretty hard at the Vent-trac system, but for the money they want it was just to small to do anything i want to do.

i really thing the toolcat 5610 and a mini excavator down the road would make for a very tidy, streamlined, low impact one or two man operation.

i do have a 20+ acre property that could easily be mowed with a finish mower quality cut level and 90 inches would shave hours off the 60 inch zero im using now .....not to mention air conditioning and shock absorbers....lol
