If it turns out that they cleared trees on your land you have significant damages. Mature trees are incredibly expensive.
The money you receive from that should be more than enough for you to pay someone to check on your land periodically for the next few decades.
Should I consider different brush cutters for my SVL75-3 besides the Kubota/Land Pride SC6072?
Main Post:
Hey everyone. I've got a new Kubota SVL75-3 skid coming with most of the goodies. Working trails in my woods and cleaning up tons of privet hedge from around all tree lines is going to be the majority of my work. And maintaining my long gravel driveway/road. So having the right brush cutter attachment is very important to me.
The dealer wants to sell me the Kubota labeled Land Pride SC6072 (couple of photos attached). After reading around this actually seems to be a pretty good cutter. My rep said it's the best one for this machine, and not just because he sells them. I mentioned a Blue Diamond and he said "We are a blue diamond dealer as well and I can assure you that it won’t hold up like the Kubota. The hydraulic motor WILL fail at some point. They have failed enough that I don't like to sell them anymore".
I mentioned I just want to get the best cutter I can as thats the most important part to me, and he said "That one is the heaviest you can put on a 75 responsibly. It will cut a 6” diameter tree".
I've seen SkidPro mentioned. I've seen CID mentioned. I've already mentioned Blue Diamond. Can you guys offer me some input? One of the pros of going with the dealer's Kubota SC6072 is that it is wrapped into my loan, and I get their service support if something breaks on it, instead of having to deal with another company directly that I would buy from. My dealer is only 30 min from me.
I just don't want to buy this SC6072 and realize later that I could be running a much more capable brush cutter for about the same money or just a bit more. That would be a bummer.
Side note, can you guys also suggest a bad ass tree/post puller/ripper attachment? I think the dealer's option is the Land Pride/Kubota STP25. I like the idea of this attachment for ripping up roots and pulling trees and posts that my grapple bucket isn't really going to be suited for. I will cut things down to ground level with the brush cutter, but having that ripper will allow me to rip up stumps and roots where needed.
I need to finalize my deal with my rep in the next day or two, so if you guys could take a minute and give me any input you can it would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Top Comment: I run a high flow MTL brush cutter on my SVL75. It’s a beast... no experience with that unit, just wanted to throw out my experience. I don’t see a purpose for those carbide cutters on the disk, I feel like it’s added cost / selling point that won’t really do much. Maybe I’m wrong? My cutter has one massive disc with 3 blades.
