Skid steers

[Freedy201]

My CTL mower brush mulcher is a Paladin, and it's a true beast.  It'll cut down a telephone pole in a whack.  What kind of cutters are on yours? 

Mine vibrated some when I got it, so I pulled the metal blades and ground them until they all weighed the same, and it cleaned up the vibration pretty well.  If it has the carbide cutters, they do not like rocks at all.  The very first time I used it, I sat it done on a volleyball sized rock and 1.5 millisecond later, $800 went up in rock smoke. 

Other than that, it's been a good one.     

I'm running a carbide setup too, and yeah... rocks are straight-up the enemy. Doesn't take much to kill a tooth and your wallet at the same time.

By the way, if you ever need to swap gears a bit, especially for firefighting or clearing paths around the mill, FYREBX makes some killer attachments for skid steers. They don't sell the machines, just the attachments, but they're built for tough jobs like fire mitigation and heavy brush work
