The demo of the Erskine 48" mini rotary brush mower on a 2021 Vermeer CTX-160 mini skid steer didn't go as I had hoped it would 🤔. The mower to put it simple, it's awesome. But the Vermeer CTX-160 is a bit of a disappointment do to the radiator getting full of dirt dust and grass clippings within a 1 to 2 hour period of time. I find myself cleaning this radiator out often, just to keep working.😩 One might thing that Vermeer would have worked small details out, like this one ? This isn't good if your planning for a productive day brush hogging 🤑 time is money, RIGHT ? I'll be contacting Vermeer soon about this issue. Some other things I found out about this machine using it with consistent hydraulic flow.
Fuel consumption at 2800 rpm's using the brush mower are around 2 gallons per hour. Engine coolant temperature reaches 219° you will hear the rpm's drop to 2600 rpm's. When the engine temperature reaches 221° you will feel the loss of speed by 1 mph. I hope this video is beneficial to all who watch it and that Vermeer will respond to a correction measure of this issue. God bless you all, and be safe at all you do👍👍
