It depends on which face plate your Bobcat MT100 has. If you have the optional universal mini-skid face plate, then yes it would be compatible. If you have the standard BobCat attachment plate, then it would not be compatible unless you had an adaptor.
It doesn't matter what you do in lawn care, you're going to run into weed seeds that you'll have to contend with. If you're dealing with cool season lawns you may want to check out Mesotrione, or the brand name Tenacity. You can use this with many cool season turf types when seeding and it will give you 3 weeks of pre-emergent properties and kill a lot of weed seeds that try to germinate with the desirable turf grass. Since you're watering and fertilizing for a new turf, that water and fertilizer will also help weed seeds start to germinate as well, which is fine. The Meso will stop a lot of pesky weeds. You can't use Meso a second time until 30 days after the 1st application so you have just over a week with no protection from weeds and some weeds will start to sprout. Depending on the weed you can ignore it and treat it with the Meso again after 30 days, or pull the weeds by hand if they are a PITA like Goosegrass, which grows quickly and lays low, and covers a lot of new seed real estate. Unchecked, it can be a pain. There likely won't be that much so hand pulling is a good option. Just don't spin on the balls of your feet and dig up the tender grass you're trying to grow. Or you can wait until the grass is established and treat with other herbicides. You may want to consider doing a split app, putting down a 50% strength mix of herbicides, then putting down the 2nd half 1-2 weeks later. Since the weeds should be immature, that 1st application will kill most of them, and the 2nd should take out most of the rest. This is a kid-glove way to protect your young turf. Another option is for turf types that will not work with Meso is to spray the area with Glyphosate and kill everything. Come back 3-4 days later and mow as low as you can. Water as if you're growing a new lawn to trigger weed seeds to germinate and after giving these weed seeds time to germinate, come back 14 days later and spray another application of Glyphosate to kill the weeds which are germinating. That will put a huge dent in the weeds you'll be fighting. If you've used the tools in the video, everything should be pretty level where you can mow low if that's your goal. If the soil's not as flat as you'd like, borrow a drag mat that will cut down the high spots and deposit the excess in low areas and then you'll be able to mow at or under 1 inch everywhere. Personally, I find it very easy to allow the soil to dry, then pull my Sun Joe dethatcher tines backwards. This leaves small ruts of dry soil about 1/2 inch deep. I put down my seed and when the watering starts it covers the seeds very shallow which is what seed like KBG or Zoysia need.
Thanks for a no bullshit demonstration. Exactly what I was looking for.
Are you using float?
No, I'm not using float. In our experience float allows the machine to dig too deep.
Is it compatible with Bobcat Mt100 mini skid steer 2022 mode

@@richeyclapperinc.4478 thank you!
STH36B or STH42B by rotadairon is compatible with MT100
What about weeds? When it buries the weeds, will they resprout?
Yes they will. It will kill the current weed plant but won’t do anything to the weed seeds.
@richeyclapperinc.4478 so then what? Seed and then weed and feed?
