Toolcat running rough cut mower

[laurencen]

this is the first time mounting the rough cut mower on my Toolcat, the guy cutting hay in my field will not cut where we have Canada thistle so have to cut it down.

first off this rough cut mower is not a brand name, has the bar where the blades mount instead of the disc, the mower spins fine but loads up quickly and stalls, it is heavy cutting not worked for 3 years but I expected better and seem to recall this mower worked better on the Bobcat S590 last year, not the same area but similar conditions,

anyone know if this is normal for a Toolcat to run differently to the skidsteer? made no difference to running low of high flow just not got the power or is it stamina of the S590

I think XFAXMAN is running a 7 foot rotary cutter on his Toolcat.

Yep, it is made by Grace MFG. Grace Manufacturing - Maker of the Tree Terminator
It has the stump jumper disc holding the blades that are sharp on both sides so it cuts rotating either way:

Backed up to show where the wheel dropped into the creek:

And backed more to show the cut up to the creek:

Ours runs in high flow at around 1800 RPM and has never stalled.

The Series F and G Toolcats both handled it as good as the V417 in tall heavy stuff:
