been looking for a used brushcutter put on my mustang skidsteer(until i upgrade to a tracked machine) to help while im on bushhogging jobs. well in my search for a tractor i came across these brush cutters forsale at an Equipment Auction place about 2hrs from my house. they also have an inventory of equipment and attachments they sell(that you dont bid on) I called yesterday and the guy said they are brandnew and would cut me a deal if i picked up one of the roots grapples while i was there. i asked if i could bring my machine and try the cutter on it, he said sure thing. its 72" Brush cutter made by Wildkat Attachments in NC. 7 gauge steel deck. Omni gear box 75hp, Parker Hydraulic Hoses, Parker Drive motor w/ internal cross port, lowflow up to 20 gpm, not over 25 gpm ,weight 1100# they are asking $2650 each. here is a video from the manufactures site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKCTIjRvgj8&feature=player_detailpage
depending on how far away you are from repaceing the skidsteer you may want to rent one and buy both high flow mower and a high flow skidsteer. High flow works much better with mulching heads . mowers also
im in the process of buying a new tractor right now, so the skidsteer wont be replaced untill the of this year prolly more into mid-next year.
I have been wondering about the Wildkat brand mowers as well. They are in nearly all the RB auctions lately. They look good, but how are they built?
All the other Wildkat attachments have really good reviews. I'm willing to give it a shot for the price, to support a USA made product.
Please post a review if you decide to pick one up. Good luck.
