Yeah, I'm guessing in the $8k range.

Ventrac just released the video.
I agree - appears to be pricey - but I could definitely use this.

Very nice! I'm sure well beyond my price range. I just bought a 4 foot hydraulic sickle bar you can mount on a variety of things. It is supposed to cut grass and material up to 1-1/2". After twenty minutes trial on a variety of stuff (up to max) half the teeth were gone! Curious what ventrac uses for teeth. It's the thing mounted on my loader. At two grand CDN, plus hoses, it's probably a better bet. Just got to get the knives figured out.
It seems you can get teeth for grass, and teeth for wood, (not from this particular vendor) but not something that will do both, which most people (like me) would want.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a link or the name?

Sorry. Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but I believe this issue would be universal to all such cutters.

Yep, I have replaced quite a few teeth back when we used a sickle bar to mow hay. I still have my little home made anvil, cold chisle, and ball peen hammer. Broke a few Pitman bars too. Ventrac is cutting brush with it, but my chief need is road-side ditches and banks where I am currently using commercial string trimmer. Getting too old to do so much of that.
