Wow! I really like the idea of that power pack. Opens up the possibilities to run some bigger skid steer stuff like forestry mulchers. I'll have to look deeper into that. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for sharing and your honesty! That’s is definitely an innovative product!

Candid product reviews; shows you’re not just trying to sell a product, but that you’re using the equipment realistically. That has value to ,e, as a potential customer 👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏼🤛🏼

your honesty is your excellence my friend :)..I'm about to purchase in the bx series.

Good information. The hoses hanging down to the ground when it was in the off-set position made me very nervous. I was waiting for you to hit the long one.

I like that you brought up all of the pros and cons. I can see how this would be great for a select market, I was pretty interested initially but I think after your full review, you actually talked me out of it. Haha. Great video though! I think a few more years of R and D and that thing could really be awesome.

EXCELLENT VIDEO, another gd 1 from you. Made alot of sence, power pack/ weight, cool fluid, increased hp

I have that exact cutter. It is awesome !

Great video Neil. I didn't realize there other brands available beside Lane Shark. That thing looks great and would love to have one on the tree farm (some day .... $$$$).

This goes back into the concept where a non compact tractor would feel safer keeping you further from it. But with boomed rotary attachments I prefer a cab. Cool attachment I could do a lot with this.

Looks great to me, love the 3pt pump.

great idea, but needs caster wheels and a float position like the BX under deck mowers. also i did notice the hydrolic hoses dragging a lot on the ground.

love the concept but i would think it would put undue twisting stress on the loader frame but like most implements it is up to the user to know the limitations of his tractor thanks for the update Neil love your presentations

Nice, I need one for my L5740. Save me the cost of a skid steer. LOL

Great information. Thanks for the demo.

Wow, and only $4k, but I would wait for the floating edition.

Will wear out bottom of loader arms without skid plates

Awesome implement Neil. Definitely see the potential with this. Onetime i was watching one of my brothers brush hogging along a wooded bank , he hit a small tree stump and a chunk of the rotted wood flew out and hit me in the forehead. This chunk was maybe the size of a baseball and i was 30' away. I think i would be afraid to use this. I wasn't hurt other than a severe headache, but could've been.

That power pack could power a front-mounted post hole digger. No more difficulties with huge angles for the drive shaft and operator danger. Plus it would be great to have the digger in easy visibility.

Why couldn't the PTO drive a bigger/stronger hydraulic pump for more PSI/GPM to the motor on the mower?

It would be nice if they could make a flail mower in this same fashion I wonder if it would be a bit lighter?

Glad you covered the safety aspects. I ran one of the 72 inch hydraulics on my skid steer, I would not want one on a tractor. Broken glass, radiator and physical injury are just a few things I can see happening.

I'm buying a 3' lane shark for my 28 hp Kubota. Want it to mow tank dams and specifically willow trees.

Def a game changer there

I see some real advantages of having this. But, if you don't have some extreme mowing conditions, is the cost worth the convenience? I see a some issues that I have with it right out of the gate. I do not like the looks of it positioned that far off to the side. I am quite sure that the loader arms and the ssqa are not engineered for that type of stress. Next would be all the dust, dirt, and debris from up front would plug the radiator rather quickly. Lastly, and a pretty easy fix, is the way the hydraulic hoses are configured. That looks to be an expensive fix very shortly down the road. Great video Neal, as always. Thanks for putting this out there.

Neil, can you tell me what size draw bar fits the BX1880? What is the distance from side to side?

I don't like the twist it puts on the loader arms when in side position.

that power pack would be great for running a skidsteer post hole digger

The video cutting sides vertically was cut super short, what happened? Cutting lanes and Paths sideways like that I think is one of the main things guys look at this for. Can we get a little bit of input on that

Might have to look into replacing our old farmall cub with the sickle on the side for mowing between the trees in the orchard, would be nice if the positing was hydraulic

Cannot seem to find the power pack ????

I would love it if they offered it with adjustable and removable wheels so you could set the height and then use your FEL float mode. This would make it great for cutting around pond banks. Any chance TB is looking at this as an option?

Nice demonstration. I originally was looking at the Lane Shark unaware of the TrailBlazer company. I like the rear fluid-distribution sump-pump which off-sets weight and feeds rotary mower fresh hydraulic fluid. My concerns are the front digging into the ground which puts a lot of stress on loader arms. Pivoting needs to be refined. A float should make this implement pretty nice. Thanks for this video.

Will the LX 3310 power this?

How about a Kubota B3300SU? Anyone have one of these on that size tractor?

I've had the fantasy of the MK Martin snow blowers with hydraulic power from a PTO hydraulic power pack ( maybe someday ). I know MK martin makes a power pack as does Land Pride. Am I correct - the TrailBlazer power pack would be a little undersized? Which ( Land Pride, Mk Martin ) would actually work better as a low flow hydraulic power source? Thanks for the always interesting and informative videos.

What is the units weight?

can you put a wheel on the side for contour cutting

Love your videos would be awesome if you could do a more recent video about searching for a tractor online like tractor house and such your info and expertise is great for someone like me looking to buy a used sub compact tractor. I look forward to seeing you post new videos. Thank you!

CAN I INSTALL THIS MACHINE TO MY JBC BACKHOES TRACTOR?

With that power pack do you get skidsteer level flows for the tractor?

So…if someone had a larger tractor: Kubota M5-111 or M4-71; would the power pack still be needed for cooling of hydraulic fluid? Thanks in advance. Marky

Do they make a flail version of this? Looks like it needs a counter weight on the left side when the mower is extended to the right.

it's a cool beginning concept and could definitely be refined. definitely needs a hydraulic side tilt- something that could be plumbed into the 3rd function. getting on and off to keep the contour adjusted is a PITA. maybe an option in the future? a set of 3" skis that mount to each side of the mower would have been a good upgrade to allow it to float along the ground better. maybe adjustable so that a mow height can be set. that way you could put your mower in "float" position and have it skim across the ground without digging in. the power pack need to be built with more ground clearance. it nearly drug ground when you were mowing up that hill. some simple drop legs that could be pinned up after you hook it up would have been much easier to build than that frame and provided more ground clearance.

Someone needs to make a binder or even just a plain reaper for front loaders, make it skid loader quick plate.

I agree on dealing with "the company" the Laneshark owner (the face) and the silent partner that not many no of are not easy to deal with when their product is faulty and they knew it prior to shipping.

Could you give us a link for what is all needed for connecting the power pack to the tb one? (Hoses, lengths, etc.)

What size tractor would this work with in the massey lineup? I have a massey 1739E. This thing looks awesome.

the power pack is more interesting. i built a nearly identical one years ago to mount a skid steer backhoe to one of my old International tractors. i think i'll resurrect it because i wanted to get a hydraulic auger for the front and my MX4800 doesn't have enough hydro flow to power one. of the two products, the powerpack is the one with more potential to sell other optional equipment for our tractors that was once only for the realm of skid steers due to the hydro-flow required. at $1500 it's a great price as i think it cost me $1000 to build the one i made. to have one ready to go with all the hoses/filter/mounting/pressure relief valves/etc. is actually a somewhat difficult thing to engineer. another thing to consider, if i own a power pack then i can go to a rental yard and say rent a auger for a skid steer, use it, and not worry about contamination of my ultra-expensive Super UDT fluid in my tractor. i'd hate to mess up my tractor because of some rented equipment pumped a bunch of ATF into my tractor's hydraulic system.

That’s one badass hedge trimmer 😂🤣

tb-jr now available with power kit for smaller tractors! Just to update you. What is your opinion of the TB-Jr on b2650 ? Thanks

Could you run it on an Avant 528 with a 9.5 flow rate?

So would this be able to run off a 50+ hp tractor, like the M59, natively with out the power pack, or is the flow not high enough? I could definitely see some applications for this that my company could use. That double pivot is really nifty.

Unless your into some heavy stuff, I personally prefer a sickle bar.

Would my L3901 run it with a power pack?

Looking at L3901...would it power this unit?

Would nice if it was able to move hydraulically in stead of mechanically

So with a custom return line this will work with a third function on a MX5200? It's rated at 9.5 GPM but I would imagine the actual rate is borderline with the minimum that this attachment requires. I've seen this before but its gonna be quite some time before I can buy one, but when I do I'll probably want to use it with the backhoe on, at least some of the time. I'll probably use it mainly to maintain field edges and my roads through the woods.

Can it run on front PTO and have a bush hog on rear?

Will that power pack run a mulcher? That would be a cool demonstration!

This would be great for the zombie apocalypse.

Is a 70hp ls tractor overkill for that piece of equipment

An obvious fix would be to have a hydraulic ram for angle control.

If it’s powered from an independent power bank, is there a reason why it can’t be used on a smaller tractor such as a BX? If there is, are you aware of a similar mower that would work on a BX?

It really wouldn't be hard to replace the black adjustment rod with a small hydraulic cylinder and use a 3rd function valve or even a adjustable top link. Just a thought!

Looks like a “shark lane”

Interesting device. It is too bad all this positional stuff can not be done by hydraulics. I realize it would increase the cost but would be much easier then having to shut down and manually adjust the deck each time you want a different position.

I just picked up one of these which is the Gen 2 version with the power pack. The dealer was different from my Kubota dealer because they didn't sell them. They did a great job of setting it up. However,, didn't think the hoses on the power-pack would work with a 3 point quick attach. Trail Blazer won't return my calls on thus question. I have a hydraulic top link. If a quick attach doesn't work, would a Pat's easy change system work instead?

Pô muinta falação coque essa coisa pra funcionar cão....

It is easy to see how if the mower deck is raised off the ground at all it can throw all kinds of nasty debris at not only the operator but anyone who happens to be nearby,

I have a Powerstar 4.75 cab with front hydro connections on front loader arms. Would this unit plug and play or would I need the extra unit. Do you have any stores in west Texas? Thank you in advance

I am looking for an offset mower solution to mow grass under and around a thousand macadamia trees. This mower could work if they work out how to make the mower ride over the ground.

I've run a boom mower for 4 years I can see a lot of liability involved with that mower 4 people that don't know what they're doing, it should never be above the tractor in a flat position without a cab, that sad I have been looking into these mowers they could be a great tool used properly. Just some food for thought when you mow along the road you start at the top and do your brushing working down then you mulch that up with the grass also when you was going into the Briars take the mower up above the Briars at about a 45 so not to throw it at you and pull it down to the ground that's how I would do all brush with that mower. This mower looks to be the best I've seen for the price, like to have one.

Add wheels for floating.... Really simple fix.

no case drain on the motor!?

Those hoses hanging down in front are a disaster waiting to happen.

I think you will start to see pto driven generators hooked to electric implements in the compact and subcompact markets.

It needs wheels and a floating link.

So is this a copy of a Lane Shark?

The hoses definitely need to be secured and outta the way

Your tractors rad will plug with chaff every two minutes

So If i have a snowblower power pack like that would this mower be compatible? If the flow rates work out.

Looks like a copy of a Lane Shark!

Is that an mx5200 tractor?

Yikes, snag that thing when its folded out and you'll fold that little loader in half.

What yall doing now since lane shark is patented

Going to wear out your loader arms on the ground

We're you using a MX4800 in this video?

Did you copy the Laneshark or did Laneshark copy you?

Neat, but four times the cost of bush hog. How can that price be justified?

this thing is awkward . For the very same chores , i use hydraulically positioned mulcher : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htCfe7tlvp7Idnk.html ...... it can also be rotated 90°

I hate that "starting at" price when it actually its almost 2k more than that

So the power pack is like 1,500 bucks ish?

Maybe if you lived on a pool table.

If s person had the money for this setup, I would just retrofit it with some castoring gage wheels and get a passable finish mower.

🤔...😐.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wouldn’t run that without safety glass around cab. I run a tiger brand long arm bush hog makes that look like a toy . I have had rocks and limbs hit my window that could be fatal. What you are doing is not safe and really stupid.

Not many pros to this mower.

Looks like trouble

Will probably wear out your loader a lot faster.
