Yellow New Holland?

[jimmoore]

this pic is of a NH TS100 that belongs to the Arkansas Highway Transportation Department. It has a boom mounted rotary cutter. it can mow vertical or horizontal. They use it to mow steep embankments or down in ditches. In this case they were mowing brush and limbs that had overgrown the right of way. Look at the size of the limbs that thing chewed up. It would be neet to have one of these for those small hard to get places. How handy it would be to be able to tip the cutter up to sharpen the blades. jim

Jim, the county uses those in my area. They bought one new one this year for about $60,000 for the tractor and mower.

Acutally we could really use one of those since we have gotten into the really thick brush. I would prefer to rent or borrow one for the weekend.

So, no dear you can't have one...

This summer in Fairlee,Vt the railroad was triming back the limbs,and the setup they had to me was /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

One train engine pushing a flat bed very slowly with a rotary cutter on each side of the flat bed.
The operator's were enclosed cab and these guys were good, {dang never have the camera when I should} and I would all most say the boom reached 15+ feet or so.
What a path of destruction they left,pieces of chopped wood in trees and scatter thru out the woods,also
I must say the trees they prune look in sad shape./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Talk about a noise...wonder those guys are deaf by now./w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

The genltman that uses a rotary cutter along our roads is a old timer...now wait second..I'm not calling anyone over 60 a old timer /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif that he been w/ the highway department over 40 years... and he always used a tractor w/ a sickle bar to trim the roads until 10 years ago.
He said "the biggest problem w/ this cutters are getting tangle up in the old fence lines"
I don't think he ever will admit it but he enjoys the new setup compare to yesterday's mowing.
