Lamtrac 6125

fishfactor · Aug 20, 2010

I came across a local dealer that has a Lamtrac 6125 in stock. I stopped by, but they were closed and the machine was behind the fence.

I've researched and found the specifics, and found a few similiar threads on here that are a little old, but other than a demo experience, no real information.

Anyone on here have a lamtrac? They seem really narrow at 4'11", but I guess you could put a little wider head on them than the FAE they spec.

Just looking for some long term experience on one and any feedback. Hope to be adding a machine in the next few months.

I like the way they are made. They seem a little narrow to me as well. No real world dealings with them other than observation really.

I looked at one that Tidewater had in Newberry, SC a while back. If I remember it was 2 or 3 year old "new stock" and the price was around $140k.

I'm going to try to stop by the dealer (Tidewater in Peachland, NC) Monday and check it out. I'm a little concerned about the HP at 125. I need to add something that will outperform 2 T320's to justify the cost. Leaning toward the FTX148 right now.

I feel like the under carriage and tracks plus the extra horsepower would be the biggest advantage this machine has over the PT100 or T320 size machines.

It is in a class between the 148 and the skid steers which should be a plus for it. I am surprised really that more are not being used. Maybe they just don't mulch that good???????

If I like the lamtrac enough to do a demo, I'll let you know. The width could be a plus in tight areas, but it seems that there is more than enough HP for the 4' cutting width. You would be leaving HP behind in my opinion. But if you stick a different head with a 5' cutting width on there, it may be better.

My T320 is 6" or so wider than the head which can be a real pain when you are trying to squeeze between trees.

Lamtrac appears to be a good little machine.The videos on youtube didn't show that much production compared to a ctl. A 4ft head? I'm suprised they don't use at least a 5 footer.
If I could find more mulching work the lamtrac would be at the top of the list.
Fishfactor, enjoy the demo and let us know as soon as possible what you think.

Still haven't been able to get by the dealer while they are open. I'm not complaining, it's nice to be busy. I'll post my thoughts once I get to look at it.

Finally caught the dealer open yesterday on the way through. The machine was gone, shipped to another dealer. Maybe next time.

It was probably shipped back to the manufacture due to being unable to sale it?

Hello everyone,
Saw this thread and thought I would take a second to introduce myself. My name is Phil and Im Director of Sales and Marketing here at Lamtrac International.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, Ill do my best to help, and if I dont have the answer, I have our engineering staff at my disposal to figure out anything you want to know.

As for the 6125, it is a very well build machine. Someone described it well, as between a skid steer and a 175-200HP machine. Its a great dedicated mulcher with heavy duty undercarriage, dedicated hydraulic cooling, reversing fans, ect...Buy with its standard skid steer quick attach plate, can be host to a wide variety of implements.

Would love to show it to anyone who is interested. Our sale rate when we do demos is VERY successful, and I could even put anyone in touch with many current owners/operators to get the facts.

Thanks!
