Hey all,
With 90 acres of woods chock full of invasives (honeysuckle, buckthorn, prickly ash, honey locust, multi-flora rose) on my farm, I've decided to buy a mower for my skid steer. It makes sense because my skid steer is on solid tires. Solid tires make for a much rougher ride, but I haven't had a flat in over two years.
Right now, I'm looking at a monster 72 inch 4 blade unit made by Skid Pro in Alexandria Minnesota. This monster weight 1500 lbs and has a supposed 6 inch cutting capacity. I don't NEED 6 inch capacity, but I'd rather buy too much than too little when it comes to capacity. The seller assures me I can run it on a Deere 317 with 2000 pounds lift, 57 HP, 17 GPM at 3450psi.
Anyone have something to say about skid pro, good or bad? How about any other make or model out there? This is a $6K purchase, so it's GOTTA be a good one that will last a long time...
