Looking for Lane Shark feedback from end users

[DVR]

Got the parts Friday, repaired it today, cut for a couple of hours and all is well.
Awesome tool if your expectations are realistic.

I have a LaneShark cutter I purchased maybe 2 years ago.It was one of the earlier models, and I believe that I paid about $3200 for it. I bought mine directly from LaneShark, as there where very few dealers around. I really like it, and will say that it does a great job. I use it in the front position to cut brush around a pond, and it does great. I also have a long driveway with trees up both sides. I use it to keep the branches cut back. You do have to be careful not to bump in into a tree or the ground as it can get racked or bent. This is a minor tradeoff due to keeping the weight down. I have learned to slow down and take it easy.
I would be sure that your third function is ok for continuous flow, as some are not. I have a LS XR 4046 and have 1/2" hoses with one hooked to rear valve, and the return line to the rear port to to the sump. They were real helpful when I called with questions.View attachment 604360View attachment 604361

Would you mind sending a photo of how you plumbed the laneshark. I have a ls xr4046 and am looking at getting the 36 inch laneshark.
Thank you

I took the plug out of the axle housing and went to a hydraulic shop for the hose and fittings. The photo with the circle shows the 2 ends. There was room in the bracket to add the quick connect. This way I can use my grapple as you see the hoses connected now. When I use the Lane Shark, I move the hose with the red tape, up to the fitting circle in red. This is the return line back to the sump. The hoses run under the floor board on the left side, and up to the loader. I added quick connects to remove the loader, but it's not necessary. On the front you can see the quick connects on the cross bar. All of the hoses are 1/2", and it works great with the Lane Shark. Hope this helps.View attachment 721056View attachment 721057View attachment 721054View attachment 721055View attachment 721058
