Great video. I enjoy the collaborations.

He said the stump grinder stays but didn’t say the imatch had to stay....

If we used dirt perfect discount code they would charge us 5% more.. lol

Its so cool how my favorite KZfaqrs comment on each other channels.

Yup I agree

I’d say so too! Definitely will have to bend down to reach the mounting points when throwing her on a trailer though

It’s great for clearing tight walkways with a sweeper attachment!

they work awesome from my personal experience, they are heavy, i'm talking concrete slap cracking asphalt breaking and side walk sinking in fall spring thaw heavy. (1"+heavily ice caked bottom and top) did 3 passes on one side walk one winter 2018? mid february where the day before 2 feet of snow dropped and the next day it hit 85ºF. sunk a 3 foot wide concrete sidewalk 2" into the ground removing hard pack iced snowbanks from city plows street pushing T junctions across the road type snow piles. it only stopped at 2" because that was all the frost that had melted by noon WITH a 6 foot tall half melted refrozen time and again snow bank on it and that was with just the tool cat and bobtach snowblower....and it ate up that entire ice chunked football rock or bigger snow bank better than my JD445 on my drive way same snow storm. loads of power stalled out 3 times pushing it to find it's limits as this was the first time i had used a toolcat vs the loader. loader never stalled out even pushing 12' snowbanks of half fresh snow and half old snow. only problem i had was losing traction trying th move a mountain dead center in 1-3 pushes. divide and conquer was the answer 1/3 at a time and it handled it pushing the entire bank back about a good 10-12 feet from the curb making room for new snowfall of equal amounts just incase. extremely impressed just like the full size JD front end loaders, power left over, traction was the issue every time taking on mountains of hard tough snow and clearing from curb to drainage ponds 20-50 yards in uncut swamp grass to the edge of the cat tails. would put these up against catapillars of same size and not sure which would do a better job or win in a contest. trust me i've run both, plus case and fords

That isn’t fair. I was working in hard (very hard) soil. This is mulch.

Turns out that I was wrong. This tractor designed and built in Horicon WI. Yes, yanmar engine.

Is your tractor 4 wheel drive? And does it have dif lock? If so.... that’s got to be a steep hill!

Welcome to our channel, Tony!

...and made in North America! The competitor is made in China!

@@TractorTimewithTim Canada if I’m not mistaken? Right?

Yes. Just outside of Toronto.

Yup I could see that

I’ve seen a couple similar machines that have a self powered snow blower. They clear the sidewalks like a dream. And leave no marks or damage in their wake. Considering they look like they’re from the late 60s, I think think the concept is sound.

Ugh. Not so good. I guess we need to make sure the slip clutch is adjusted properly so that it will slip. This is the first I've heard of this problem.

@@TractorTimewithTim I bought the grinder in May of 2020 and the PTO shaft that came with the stump grinder had shear bolts instead of the PTO with a slip clutch. I had to actually order new shear bolts because the hardest bolts I could find were only an 8 hardness. The shear bolts were a 10.9 hardness and came from Baumalight in Canada. I think the PTO with the slip clutch may have prevented me losing the teeth in my PTO gearbox.

Oh my! Should not have been using 10.9 or grade 8 as a shear bolt!!!

The shear bolts from Baumalight were the recommended hardness that was stated in my manual. I ordered new shear bolts from the Kubota dealership where I bought the P24. Those 10.9 shear bolts came from Baumalight. I’m not sure what the specs were but I had never seen bolts rated at that hardness. I do like watching your videos. I did trade my BX24D for a new BX23S. I used your video channel to help make my decision. I’ve owned three GR models for mowing grass and now I’m on my second BX tractor. Thanks.

Hey! Just picked up a 1300 hour, like new 855 4WD. Got a 513, 5' rotary bush hog, looking at a rototiller. How many inches wide do you find runs well behind the 855?

@@galehess6676 Nice! Sounds like you got yourself a good machine! I have a 5' Farm King rototiller, my 855 runs it no problem.

@@photocontrol I've now heard the 5' is no problem on a 24 HP machine. I did just get a 4' today though, so hopefully it's a wash far as overall area covered/time.

@@galehess6676 The 4' should do a good job for you.

I have some experience with a 750 and 770. Rock solid machines! I’m just not a fan of gear drive on these little machines. They get used for a lot of loader work, mowing, and other PTO work. These tasks much more easily performed with a hydro transmission.

@m9 ovich where?? I don’t see them

@m9 ovichsame but I want it like in one video

Welcome! Glad to have you onboard!

You’re right. Mainly because the 855 has a direct injection engine.

How much $$?

@@TractorTimewithTim new or used? I bought mine used for $11k which is cheap most on the market because they are DEF go for $20k-$25k and the new gas RG55 is in the $55k range. Which you can buy a used 100hp model for less.

Thanks, that is my point. Adding a $2500 tractor grinder might be a good way to add grinding service to a beginning business. Once established, and you have saved a few $$, step up to a larger solution.

@@TractorTimewithTim that is true. But I know a guy in my area that uses one and he lost a tree guy to myself because he would tear up a yard going back and forth. Atleast that was the complaint that the tree guy had about him. Plenty of used smaller grinders out there that are dedicated units for cheap. I almost had a 25hp unit that I was gonna fix up for $1,000.

...or broom!

Congratulations!!

Don’t think Bobby has enough hydraulic volume to run it.

@@TractorTimewithTim ya that would make sense

Turns out I was mistaken. While it has yanmar engine, turns out the 55 series was designed and built in horicon, WI. Had I realized that years ago, we woulda had one!!!

@@TractorTimewithTim It’s not too late to get one.

Thought about trying to mount Vinny’s mirror on it...but figured Bobcat wouldn’t like seeing that!

Totally different machine, Chris. That was the toolcat. This is a new machine.

@@TractorTimewithTim I know. It was nice . I had a landscape company and i gor it for the very reason you mensioned. just to weak and slow for me.
