Hey folks, Newbie here.
I have an 80 HP ASV SR80 and am considering best way/ machine to clean up my Oak woods. Lots of fallen branches from oak wilt and other, lots of prickly ash and buckthorn. Buckthorn is REALLY hard wood and biggest ones over 3" diameter. I COULD utilize something like the Brush Shark; it even has a version "tree trimmer" same price as the standard which is built with clearance allowing 45° back tilt for improved vertical positioning for trimming field edges of overhanging branches / brush. However, I am concerned that it's price appears a bit high $5500 and whether the operation / business is legit. On the other hand there are lots of legit and good rotary brush mowers and brush hogs available for track loaders like mine. I have max ability for only 30 gpm at HIGH flow though.
Please offer suggestions here.
-- have YOU used a Brush Shark? Happy with dealing with the company in Austin and the machine itself?
-- What do you use for a rotary machine and besides shredding the off-cut and not having to pick it up(like results from Brush Shark) how is it better?
-- Any rotary attachments that also can be tilted more easily than most for trimming branches etc.?
Thanks!
