Well i bit the bullet and bought a new loaded "c" turbo model for
home maintenance - 180 acres in North Central Wi with a long, curved driveway
and multiple buildings. 5 miles of gravel wood roads, ect.
I bought the 84" rotary broom, a 72inch high flow snow blower, and a 68"
low profile bucket from the bobcat dealer. So far so good.
Very useful and stought machine. Great turning radius - handy around the house. Not as comfortable over the rough stuff as my cx85 mccormick tractor (air ride seat and 16.4 ag tires). Much more versatile than the tractor - which is for sale.
Question - any advice on a rotary cutter for 5 miles of graveled woods roads and 5 acres of pasture/food plots. roads mix of gravel/small rocks and grass.
was going to buy the 60" brushcat but feel that a cutter wider than the toolcat would be better for cutting the woods roads. Otherwise the tooldat may take a beating from the brush along the roads. the new 72 brushcat is not "approved" for the toolcat b/o weight. erskine makes a 72 inch at around 1500 lbs. the brushcat 60 is 1700 and 72 1900 lbs. Any advice would be appreciated. i currently cut the roads/pastures with a 7foot rhino behind the tractor. needed better snow removal so out goes the tractor and in the toolcat. brush is also great for cleaning off the long driveway as pine needles drop constantly.
thx
