That is one cool rig. Any time you want to plan a trip to Florida please stop by ( as long as you bring your tractor anyway)

Just curious - what does a rig like that sell for? and what part of western NC are you moving to?

Thanks

I've seen the TGF9400 advertised at $45995, I imagine this one goes close to $60k.

I've PMed you guys about pricing info.

My wife and I are moving north of Asheville. If you've heard of Wolf Laurel, we're on the other side of I-26 from there. Our property is right on the TN/NC state line.

The house is going in at 3800 ft. elevation.

In the video it looks like it takes down an 8"-10" tree (around 1:20 or so in the link) and it gets run over 2-3x but appears to still be one log with a flat side on it. Is this just because of the angle it was shot? Are the shoes adjusted to it doesn't dig in?

Don't get me wrong- it's still an awesome machine and I can think of 10 acres that it could be helpful!

Yes, you can adjust the skids for different cut height. Also, in order to not bog the head down, you kind of plane off the top surface of thicker trees, making a couple of passes to get it completely mulched. Working with it today around the house, I was experimenting with just how far down I was comfortable cutting. I want to end up with manageable debris, but I want to avoid running the carbide teeth into the dirt. They wear out faster if they run in the soil and rocks.

That's beautiful country. You've certainly got a fine machine to use up there. I guess I'll just have to stay down here in the flatter part of the state and be jealous.

RAW - I take it that this is a PTO driven cutter with the 3pt hitch to control height and hydraulics to move the safety bar? If so what rpms do you need for this to cut as shown in the video. Interesting machines those Carraros I wish we saw more around these parts.

RAW-

I think you have a nice machine. The thing I think you will like more is where you are moving. I am a North Carolina native, but from the Piedmont. My wife and I moved to Haywood County four years ago and have really enjoyed living in Western NC. My parents now live in Ashe County and between the two we have the Western and Northern NC mountains covered. Unless life circumstances dictate otherwise, I cannot see myself moving from the Western NC mountains by choice. It is truly a pleasure to live here. I wish you the best.

Yes, 3PH controls height. Hydraulics controls the mulching door. I also have a hydraulic top-link for slight changes in angle.
This particular cutting head is designed for 540rpm PTO.
