That cutter along with venny would clear that beautifully
Tim, thank you for picking up a 3 series tractor. They are a good size tractor for so many tasks! God bless my brother and sister!
that would be soooo productive having a second tractor grappling the brush as another one did the cutting! great idea
Tim great video. As always, I appreciate the insight to attachments I haven’t seen before as well as them actually being used.
Christy, I hope everyone appreciates the lengths you go to when you get those close up shots. I would not want to be hovering over that spinning blade while trees are about to come down. I think there are some issues to be addressed with operator safety. I know that when I start to go through brush with my open operator station tractor I usually get pricked and poked until I cut out half of the tree or bush to get where I'm going. Even with the backhoe pushing the way ahead of me (backwards of course) I still catch branches from the side. I also noticed that the blade rides up as you try to get the stump down to the ground. I wouldn't worry about the stumps if I had a stump grinder, and as you said, a grapple is a must with this attachment, so buyer plan ahead. I hope to see it on smaller tractors to see if it can run with those smaller machines. From this video I think you may have it paired to the right machine as it is.
Another great reason to get a skid steer.
Yup, just add $100k to cost
I truly enjoyed watching you work that new cutter especially on the tower property. That cutter, a grapple and...a match, I believe would work just fine. Thanks again.
Awsome attachment for sure.
love watching you guys premier and demo new attachments!
Thanks for watching!
Took a trip to Tipton today getting ready for the blacksmith conference on 3,4,5 Jun and on the way back I drove by so as to go around the street work in town. We couldn't help but notice the deck of cards barn up the road from you. What amazing strength those couple of beams have that are still holding that roof. 🙂
Using two machines will help..... nice video Tim, Great attachment.... 👍👌
It's cool that you have a playground for these implements. The evolution of bigger, faster, stronger is on full display👍
I have a DFM LT3200 I use on my 2038r. With that and the grapple on the loader, I can clear cedars and other trees with serious efficiency. One of my most used tools at the moment.
Also, Definitely wear safety glasses...At least with my saw.
I'm going to buy this. That attachment with my grapple and stump grinder and last flail mower will do it all!! Thanks for the video,
Tim, thanx for the honest assessment… warts and all!
It is apparent that the tool requires its own operating techniques. I can see that it can definitely be useful. Your point about clearing in yards/fields where mulching is unwarranted is well stated. And pairing a plunge cut with a grapple pick would not only be more productive but likely yield a more groomed look.
Cap’n Kleeman built one out of an old brush cutter. His Whoppa-Choppa won’t cut the bigger trees but otherwise operates the same.
Thanx to you and Christie for the excellent demo!
Nice camera work.
This strikes me as the sort of attachment that can do some specific tasks REALLY well, but for broader applications there are better solutions. That said, I can think of some tasks on my property that this thing would be PERFECT for! Thanks for another great video!
Have the TurboSaw which is very similar and have used it for several years to cut brush, drop trees to 12" diam, and shaves the stump off to below ground level. No problem with rocks.
Cannot do at the same level at the ground with a chainsaw.. unless one does not care for their chain. Leaves an area that is easy to mow over with a lawn mower.
Works much, much better with an hydraulic top arm to adjust the angle of the saw blade. Very useful tool as you have demonstrated so well on the video.
Love your videos! Look forward every Sunday morning to watch TTT! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Tim that saw with another tractor with a grapple would clear that insanely fast. And the good thing is you already have another tractor operator / camera lady. 😂
Yep! We put a grapple on this machine and that helped a lot
That looks like a great alternative to the more expensive mulcher. Time for me to talk to my finance committee.
It would be nice to see the grapple grab the trees with he limbs o and how it grabs and lifts them
I like this tree saw. If you had one person on a tractor with the tree saw and another running a tractor with a grapple, then you could get brush cleaned up in a hurry. Pretty awesome. Thanks for showing the tree saw to us viewers.
Agreed 👍🏻
I think it would work great for someone who owns a wood lot that has a lot of brush to clean up . thanks again for your insight Tim...
TTWT, That was a cool video showing the disc saw. I like the variety of videos with different attachments and projects. Thank you!
Thanks Hugo!
Love your content Tim ! I have a John Deere 990 . You are very informative about products. Look forward to your videos thank you from New York .
I need one of those cutters, that is nice, the best use for this one seems to me is a tag team, one cutting then the other comes right behind with the grapple and removes the debris so you can cut more again plus clean the stumps to ground level so no one damages their tires,
Agreed. Two tractor team would make this fast!
Good video folks , that said , Tim if you make a 1 hole down adjustment on the push bar that will help you out and as your backing in to the material to be cut turn the steering wheel left or right to lay it down and later come back with the mulching attachments and mulch IT up that's how we get it done quickly and efficiently
Interesting! Thanks.
Nice job. Great audio! Really like the variety of videos.
I really enjoy watching your videos and the scriptures you add. I always want to make comments when I first start watching, and as usual, you cover what I am thinking before the video is over. I thought you needed to have a grapple on when you were still in your yard, and you mentioned why you didn't. Jumping from tractor to tractor I guess you would notice the difference, but I loved the E-Hydro on the 3320 I had. You do spin tires more without feeling it as you did in this video. I messed up selling that tractor to go bigger. I also let my Millonzi grapple go with it. Nobody else has produced a grapple like that one. Only a few guys on Tractorbynet got them maybe 14 years ago. It was kind of curved on the bottom and it would hold more and allow you to get better leverage under roots. Light weigh and just 48" it worked great on the 3320. I have a Titan grapple on my Kioti 4710 and it works but it is heavy.
Keep up the good work, and if the economy ever gets better maybe I can get one of these tree saws.
For a lot of these cool new PTO attachments a hydrostatic transmission and independent PTO are a must. I can’t imagine trying to use this, or a stump grinder with a gear drive. That being said, I actually like my old gear drive machine over hydro for most of what I do.
Hydrostatic required for this attachment.
A guy with an old WD Allis , that Knows how to us the wet hand clutch, can slip it all day long and not hurt it. That might be the only case where a gear drive could be used without a lot of trouble. 😎
Tim you were like RAMBO with that thing. Had me laughing 😂… The speed you went through that brush was incredible
That looks real handy. I would love to demo one in the fall
Awesome video Tim thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Thats really cool Tim and Kristy.
Would love to see both the grapple and the tree saw working together
Yea. We’ll try that next time.
It looks like both of you are losing weight must be on a special diet no more cheeseburgers hahaha
Love it! What a tool!
We have about 5 acres of 8"-12" trees which all grew around the same time so they are have very few branches and would be perfect to bring down with that type of saw. Other videos I've seen show it working very well with trees that are less "bushy" that you can get right up to without branches interfering.
Nice video tim and kristie and I like that machine, it makes very nice work
Looks handy, seems like that gearbox is in the danger zone!
That tool works great !
Very cool attachment and good video of its use is several different situations. I think you "hit the nail on the head" with how a grapple would compliment this attachment VERY well and/or a second tractor with a grapple. Would make such fast work of it and reduce the area of "mess" that the forestry mulchers throw EVERYWHERE. Plus this could just about replace a stump grinder completely (maybe not in every circumstance or if grinding it 6" deep was wanted, but...) and it would reduce the "mess" that stump grinding creates. Cut the stump at ground level and create "cookies" above, and if too large to do in one pass, cut as deep as possible, pull back out and break the "partial cookie" off and out of the way with a sledge hammer, axe or break it off with the grapple. Then go in for more, repeat.
All good observations!
Tim you guys make awesome videos. The tractor saw needs to vertical grappler to bring the first tree or two away from the other one so you can saw it off. It's awesome how low it cuts them off. Thanks for the awesome video you and your wife are doing a awesome job.
Thanks for the kind words. I agree….a vertical grapple would really help!
@@TractorTimewithTim you are quite welcome. The last thing you where doing back in and cutting them down. The bar that pushes them back. Maybe if you would put one on it. That angle's to the left. Maybe they wouldn't full out on the right where you are cutting next. Just a thought to try. Good luck 👍
Seems to do a fantastic job!
Awesome looking machine nice job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Same concept as a feller/buncher that's used in timber cutting, only a lot smaller. You just have the cutter. Very interesting attachment and very informative.
I’m wondering if a ‘vertical grapple’ like the Buncher would work on this unit?
@@TractorTimewithTim I think so. As long as you have enough ballast weight to handle it.
Thanks for the demo Tim. That little saw is bad to the bone. Great for when trees and woody growth are too big for rotary cutters.
Seems like having a grapple on at the same time would be ideal. Pull the first trees cut out of the way and go after the others.
This seems like it's great for larger trees, for brush clearing demo the baumalight cp572. Max diameter is 4 inches they say but that's more brush vs trees
Finally you got to the second tractor with a grapple idea! Sounds like a great combo. However, I would suggest two things: eye protection and a good pair of gloves. Always think safety!!😜
I've seen this Baumalight product on Farmer's Daughter N.C.'s channel. Only difference was they were using a Kubota 2650. One big benefit this product has aside from the weight, is the ability to use a quick hitch like with the smaller stump grinder. At least it can cut at ground level which can reduce the time to grind stumps.
I have a battery powered brush cutter. Whenever the blade gets hot when cutting through a 2+ inch tree I get the same smoke you were getting. I makes me feel like I need to oil something but there is no mention of oil in the manual.
Love your all’s videos.
Thanks for watching, Ross!
Tim, looks like a great attachment. Somewhat concerned with the lack of safety glasses. Never know when you'll get a branch in an eye!
I like it. I don't need it. Enjoyed watching you play with it.
a fella could get a lot of clearing done with that setup, and like you mentioned, a grapple as well. the big plus to this over a mulcher is being able to move the debris to a different location on site to dispose of. like you said, might not always want the mulcher mess where you are clearing. very cool.
Leave the mulched material a year or two and it will have improved the soil.
When you mentioned backing into it then turning around to clear it with the grapple, I thought the dream team would be 1 tractor backing in with the tree saw and 1 perpendicular to that to sweep away the cut trees each time you pulled forward to reposition for the next run, and sure enough, you mentioned the possibility nearer the end. :)
That would work great with a grapple on the front of the tractor so as soon as you cut it down you could just pick it up with a grapple and haul off to debris pile.
I have a small spot at my yard that needs this done. Can you bring it to Pennsylvania? It would only take about 1 hour to do. Lol. Just think of all the scenery you could take in coming over.
Will be in PA today :-) …but not with tractor
@@TractorTimewithTim you going to be at somewhere your meeting people? I’m not far from the dealership you did the mower race at.
No. Personal trip this time. Katriel graduating
@@TractorTimewithTim no problem in joy your time.
interesting attachment. seems to cut fast, add on a hydraulic claw above the cutter wheel and just close it around what you cut and drive away with it. of course, you could not likely do that with big trees, but brush and small trees would likely be no problem.
Cut out what you need and then come back with the mulcher. Mulcher taking care of the trees that are on the ground.
I have been wanting a "TurboSaw" brand name for years, Now that Baumalight has come up with a competing product it will be interesting to see the price difference. Could not find it with your link, but found it on the Baumalight website. It seems pricer than that of the "TurboSaw". I know you promote Baumalight products and not to sell them short, it looks like a very good product, but to be fair, the "TurboSaw" seems to have a beefier push bar along with a hydraulic model for grabbing trees. It was hard to tell if the Baumalight push bar will stand up. As you had mentioned and ask years back on your channel, if you plan to plow the field, then you would have to plan on removing the stump completely. Great video and will look into the alternative. Will have to look and see if Daugherty Forestry still makes the TurboSaw. Thanks
Thanks for showing me something I would not have seen otherwise.
Thanks for watching!
Great job Christy getting the awesome video while having mud thrown at you.
My vote is for getting a tractor for Christy too. Oh wait, who will film it. Let's make it a family affair and get everyone involved. LOL 😆
You need a Brown Tree Cutter!
Great video!
Love this!
Get some hi vis covers for the guy wires. The second or third year when you are complacent is when they are good to have.
If I had that for two days my headaches would be gone. I'm doing it by hand.
The last method was the best
A second tractor always helps 😂
Surprised you didn’t comment on my welding video!
@@TractorTimewithTim i watched it…. Should have called me for a collab … would have brought my son and he could have been riding a green tractor as well! 😉
Tim that attachment works well for cutting and stump grinding
Used in combination with the mulcher might be the perfect solution.
Interested in knowing how you are going to stop that from growing back. That's my problem. Great video. Skip McCain
Gonna mow right over it weekly :-)
You have a really handy tool in your inventory now. Maximise if you can by hiring out...
Think the smoking is just the tree after being cut riding on top of the spinning disc getting hot. Looks to do great on ones you can get to the stump fairly easily. When you really have to bury the tractor and yourself into a huge deep bush to get to the stump don't think would like that. However I do think it has it's special place in certain jobs.
Good job brother
Wow!, I've got to agree with you I too love the result.
It would be nice if that upper push bar could be easily adjusted towards the tractor (some sort of quick link) to allow for cutting down larger trees that don't flex much and are vertical or have multiple branches angled outwards all around it. You'd still want the bar there to push the trees over and away.
I'm dealing with this same job right now - today (I'm actually just now procrastinating and watching videos on this before going out to do this same work).
I'm converting an area from treed to flat & mowable so I can install a couple of portable shelters (tractor accessories...).
I've tried different things and currently:
- cut down trees using sharp chainsaw chain.
- saw and remove using grapple.
- install my sacrificial chainsaw chain and cut down to ground level. I'm surprised how well the Oregon 72LPX chain survives dirt and grit (I bought it because reviews claimed it didn't dull with dirt and grit).
- use flail mower to cut and shred remaining brush.
- for areas inside shelter I plan to remove the stumps using the 1025R backhoe so they don't sink. I've never tried removing stumps with my 1025R yet. I was spoilt in my youth using large backhoes and large excavators.
- bring in fill to ensure accessories stay dry (right now the area is low and wet). I might also add gravel inside the shelters.
It would be interesting to compare the complete cycle time using that cutter, then grapple, moving it, stacking it and either chipping or burning it vs using either a flail mower or brush shredder to slowly cut/grind up the brush, in one step.
It would be fun to see the bloopers - if any - between the video edits. :)
Great video Tim. Seems the attachment almost needs some teeth on top and bottom of the blade and maybe offset to one side would be nice to keep the tractor out of the branches.
Thats the same concept as a feller buncher there are some good ones made by john deere the model 859m is a really cool machine
We love ya'll Tim and Kristi. Kelli and I would like Kristi to wear eye protection, maybe a welder's mask or a medieval knights shield getting that close to that thing! Hahaha!
You know what I like about that unit I sit up high away from the snakes no chain sawing down in the mud by the snakes that sells the unit to me
Neat tool. You won’t have any trees left soon at your house. Hehe.
If you lengthened the top point, it maybe able get below ground a little more, after you finish your cuts.
Looks like a great product. I could use one to get rid of about 100 mesquite trees but I might look like I lost a knife fight after it was over.
Would love to see Johnny x on that machine I think that turbo would have made a big difference on that job
The only thing I think would make it even better is if there was some gear box protection. It looks pretty vulnerable.
Maybe, but it is HUGE! Looks crazy tough!
is their not any front mount attachments for brush an mulching an such, we made one back in the day from a old brush deck mounted a motor on top took off the bucket an attached the deck to the front an it worked great an we didnt break our necks looking back wish i had pic's of it to show might be a good thing to go on the market better then messing ur neck up front attachments
Are you going to do a 3rd function or a diverter on that tractor? Might be a good opportunity for a side by side comparison... Honestly, I love the 3rd function, but if I had it to do over again, i might be more inclined to get a diverter valve instead. The tree saw looks AMAZING, by the way.
Regarding the clumps of trees... I wonder if in cases where the trees are limb locked if you could raise the cutter and cut the first layer of stems and then lower the cutter and take a section off the bottom of the cut stems' stump. Then allow the blade to move those sections off to the side as it spins. Being limb locked the cut stems may stay up such that you can then reach the stem behind them... I suspect that it would be faster than moving the tractor and might be worth a try.
How much debris does that thing throw? Seems like it would be prudent to not get too close to that without eye pro, a face shield, and heavy clothing to pad any impacts from thrown bits of brush. Looks like it'll do quite the number on the brush. Great vid as always.
While it might be big for a 3series. A 60" Brown Tree cutter could do the site prep level tree removal and breaking up of material. Think they need 50hp min. Maybe a five series.
I noticed that you chose a bit larger tractor than your "usual" 2035R tractor. Good lookin' tool. I hope the local equipment rental company considers adding this tool to their inventory.
I’ll try it on the 2038r sometime in the future.
I asked Ventrac for a boom chain saw after watching DOT crews trying to clear along roads. Try using a chainsaw on 50 degree slopes
DOT are now using Ventracs to mow BMP (those silt ‘ponds’ along the highway) versus crews with string trimmers previously.
I love that saw! I think for my purpose, it will be ideal. I assume your Kubota is gone as I haven't seen it on the channel and it didn't really fit your needs. In watching the video I notice why I like the treadle pedal and you like the dual pedal. I used my brothers John Deere and struggled with operation, but I think it is because I have short legs. When I am twisted a bit and looking back, I can't reach the reverse pedal on the Deere. It would nice to see you try the Grand L Kubota. I think you would like it!
Yes, I have been hoping Tim would go with a Grand L as well. I think there would be some great comparisons between the smaller Grand L (3560 and 4060) and the 2R and 3R JD series. Plus you get the upgraded treadle pedal.
I am old (70 yesterday) and have trouble looking back. I shift around in the seat of my JD 1023E and use my left foot on the pedals.
would a hydraulic toplink aid in final stump removeal to a lower level?
Is it possible (or feasible) to but the cutter on the front of the tractor? I know it needs a PTO… Can you connect the grapple to the rear? I will have a serious “crick” in my neck if I have to clean up 70 acres ~
It seems that this machine isn't so much as a thick brush type of clearing, but more accurate going after single trees, something like a feller buncher a logging company would use. Maybe use this in tandem with the mulcher. Use the mulcher first and clear the small stuff first then go after what is too big for the mulcher with the saw.
That might be a good way to handle it!
Tractors also need a front end PTO so many of these attachments can be run in front of you not always behind you.....
It does the job intended; I was thinking about your back being twisted back around , cant it attach in the front
Unfortunately, no. Not with a small tractor.
