Toolcat and V417

[Xfaxman]

Because of the extending boom. This shows mowing across a silt filled creek.

This is what happens if you drive on silt:

If you can find a low flow cutter the V417 would be more versatile.

The Toolcat with the hi flow option would work well.

Our 7' brush hog is low flow 15-25 GPM, but we run it on hi flow and around 1700 RPM:

Removing another small cedar tree from the barb wire fence. Used tree limb loppers and a reciprocating saw to cut the the limbs on the east side:

Hooked the chain low on the trunk and pulled to the west, away from the T post:

The root ball moving caused the T post to raise up and lean to the west:

Used my cordless reciprocating saw to cut the trunk off of the root ball:

Used the landplane on the Toolcat from the east side, to push down on the dirt above the roots, straightening the T post:

Moved closer and pushed down again:

Drove around to the west side and pushed down on the stump:

The T post is straight, no more lean:

Just pickup up my new V417 yesterday. 5 hour drive to get it. Dealer claimed it was the last new tier 3 in USA. It was difficult to find a V417.

Have not seen anything from you in a while, need an update on your V417 please.

The SSQA to 3 point adapter on the Toolcat:

On the V417:

Made a new dolly for it from an old shelf:

Drilled through the 3/4 inch plywood, used 1/4 inch bolts:

Here it is with the Omni Transformer 3 point hitch attached:

Picked them up with the crank up lift: See it here: Crank Up Counterbalanced Workbench / Lift

Set them down on the dolly:

Now I can roll it to the storage area:
