Say hello to my “little friend” 🤣
We bought a small used skid steer (60hp) and new mulcher head (60” working width) for a specific contract that was extremely limited on machine size and weight. I didn’t want wheels but tracks add approximately 2000lbs in weight so we had to go with wheels to lower the weight as much as possible. It’s literally half the weight of the machines we were previously using, so there are plans to modify it for use in marshes where light weight and low ground pressure are a must.
After taking care of a few minor issues it’s ready to get to work and is already booked for this week.
It’s capable of mulching smaller material and trees up to 6” diameter, so most fence lines and other areas can be cleared. Unfortunately with wheels it doesn’t have the floatation of tracks so mud and soft ground will limit it’s ability to access some areas.
Hopefully we’ll have a larger track machine back again next year, but this is it for now. Plus we still have the excavator and brush cutter available for applications that are unsuitable for this little ripper.
