I have a kubota tractor with a front end loader that I’ll never get rid of prob, but I’d like a heavy duty mower too. My buddy has a tool cat and the dang thing is pretty awesome! He has a bucket that’ll pick up a pretty good load, a finishing mower and an extreme duty mower attachment. All this with a Utv type steering, front facing equipment, bucket seats plus heat and AC. I don’t know if I can ever justify a skid steer but I could see purchasing one of these, using it as a mower and a tracto/skid steer hybrid. Anybody else got one? Opinions? I really want a heavy duty mower but I hate looking backwards all the time… Also he said he can run this most anywhere since it doesn’t have tracks. Doesn’t tear up the ground.

I would love a skid steer. One with a heavy duty brush cutter would just be the bomb at a hunting club. There was a guy at our camp that ran an equipment rental company (Bobcat) and that's what he brought to cut ours. I think he used a shark cutter on it...basically an HD bushhog that can chew up old rotting dead fall, brush, small trees etc with ease, and he could run faster than a tractor/bushhog while cutting grass.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

That tool cat thing looks like a useless waste of money…if i was the most illustrious potentate…id have a smaller tractor around 40hp…a big tracter around a 150hp…that would cover all my implement use as far as breaking ground and planting…and thennnn🤠….id have a svL 95 for small gravel jobs and little dirt work operations…d39 komatsu for fire lanes and road building…old steerin wheel cat grader for road maintenance…kubota u55 mini-x to fix ditches an lay water lines…and top it all off with a case 580 super N backhoe with ride control…they aint the best backhoe..but byned they the best to operate…i have spoken…😱🤗🤠

I saw it in action, it’s pretty impressive. I could swing a used skid steer, I just don’t know if I can justify it to sit around and use every so often. I would mow with this thing. Just kicking it around and wanted opinions.

The problem with the Tool Cat is that it is expensive and you are very limited in what you can do with it. The overall weight is the issue. You are just limited to whatever you can attach to the front and this is not a loader. Skid steer is way more useful and resale is also a consideration.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

A tracked skid steer large enough to run one of those heavy , brush, tree cutters along with the cutter is a lot of $ to have sitting around not making any $. They are a beast on any heavy brush and small trees , but don't cut grass well.
