Andrew don't give up on this tractor. a 75hp pre-DEF tractor is a great tool. You need a quality heavy duty brush mower, maybe a flex wing rotory cutter. You can chop down trees with the skid steer. With a batwing you could cut a lot of pasture or fields that need annual upkeep. New sideline maybe?
Yep, I’ve had both. It really depends on the application. After a couple of years, I found myself using my tractor far more often and sold the skid steer.
Yeah, it's funny, there's some overlaps with other equipment with each depending on your particular conditions and tasks. Like an excavator. Both a skiddy and an excavator would manipulate in a smaller area far better than a tractor but once that operating envelope expands past a certain point the skiddy starts winning. as it gets bigger than that that the tractor looks better for many tasks. Sure the tractor may be useful in a lot of the skiddy envelope but also far inferior to an excavator for many things. But the Excavator would be super slow in a lot of the tractor tasks. There really isn't an answer that will satisfy everyone. But it starts with what are you doing and where?
Yeah have also had both, and sold both. Track loader for heavier work, full day in the machine work, and if you have a helper. Tractor for when you are on and off, utility, maintenance work, and working alone. Even having sold both, I'd happily have one of each if I had acreage, and would use them both depending on the job.
If your doing a good bit of brush cutting an older tractor like from the 70s with few hoses/tubes is best, or the newer tractors have to armored underneath, and the right brush cutter. A David Brown cutter on the right tractor will run circles around a skid. An older 60s/70s 50hp tractors like a ford 5000, and a good 100hp rated cutter with no slip clutch will drive over all those trees, faster and burn less fuel than a skid. The older bush hogs also have gearboxes and shafts that were rated for 100-150 hp and can take amazing amounts of abuse without a slip clutch. The newer thin walled cutters with 40/50 hp gearboxes need the slip clutches tho.
I laughed out loud at the fixing of the dent on the truck! Andrew you crack me up! As a child you must have been quite the inquisitive and entertaining kid always taking things apart just to put them back together! Love your videos! ❤️
Had to laugh when Andrew said the tractor was not for that purpose. I believe he takes most of his equipment beyond its engineered limits. Great content.
And if the equipment was not to Andrew's expectations, he explained to his viewers how it could be better if they did some other modifications to it. The good thing about his shows is how he explains in detail what they need to improve, to make the equipment better. He's a good operator, starting from the ground up.
I remember when you got the white pickup and compared it to your older gray one. The white didn’t have any rust or dents. It’s had to work hard to earn those dents.
Skidsteer is great for building things and tractors are great for maintaining things. Skidsteers are awesome, but they destroy the ground just moving around.
Also heavily depends on the weight of the tractor, what wheels you have on and how dry/wet the ground is. You can quickly tear up the ground and make small ruts and stuff by turning sharply and doubly so if you've got four wheel drive engaged.
@@RyansVideoGamesmy brother-in-law has a kobota very similar , those front tires are hell on the turf , every time he does some work here he leaves reminders that last a while . 👍🇨🇦
Skidsteers are fine on soft ground if you don't zero turn in them, just like zero turns are fine on soft ground if they don't zero turn. It's the turning in place that fucks up the ground.
You are an inspiration to me. You make things happen no matter what. I enjoy watching your videos and seeing all the hard work turn into amazing things
And the drive shaft needed about 6" cut out of it off both ends. Way to close and as nice as Andrew is to all his equipment he WILL bust it through the rear housing on that tractor.
The brush hog should trail straight behind the tractor so the driveshaft stays in alignment and only has to compensate for the up and down movement of the mower. It will compensate both ways but it is still meant to be trailing straight behind and not twisting and moving side to side like that. Stabilizers missing?
Looks to me like it was mostly caused by removing the hitch crossbar to accomodate the PTO shaft. Definitely not an attachment suited to the size of the machine.
Yeah, i get the idea of punishing things to the death to see how they work, but there are some technical limitations that you should actually take into account. You cant run such a driveshaft at the wrong angle. Of course its gonna break.
Inspiring video! Some days I just need someone to get me going and able to figure stuff out, I recently purchased another tool after seeing it on your video's, a powered grease gun! I know its not necessary but it sure makes the job much easier on most applications. I like the method you incorporate of some talking while repairing and how you do it and why you do it. Thank You!
A tractor isn't designed for that work to begin with. The tractor is designed for agricultural tasks. Light excavation with the front loader. The Takeuchi CTL is designed with more aggressive tasks in mind. The hydraulics on the CTL are higher pressure, designed to lift more, and has a lower ground clearance for pushing dirt. Where the tractor can push dirt, it has deeper ground clearance, better traction by way of skinny tight contact patch and a steerable axle. That tractor with the right ballast on the back, the right blade, and the right operator will move more deep snow in a better time frame than that CTL with stock tracks. They truly are two differently intended machines. Great video highlighting their differences. Cheers.
Andrew - Just want you to know that I recognized your professional level congruity in editing at - 101:44 to 101:54 - you did a ground level shot of a tree - and then flipped up to drone footage in perfect timing to see the track loader make mince meat of the wood.

I spit out my drink laughing when you said, "Look at that!! You can't even tell it happened!!" 🤣🤣🤣 You are a funny guy without even trying. Andrew is the best!!!
See how you left the grappler reminded me of a tragedy we had in our family. My five year old nephew was climbing on the dirt blade his father had just unhooked from the tractor. Young boys like to climb on everything but somehow the block that was holding the blade up moved and he was crushed by the blade. Please be careful and don’t take unnecessary chances.
On the same safety subject. I recall about 20 years ago, a farmers wife was killed by a stone chip from underneath a bush hog. The machine bounced over a rock and the chip hit her in the head. She had come to bring the driver his lunch - very sad! 😢 The lesson here is that no one should be within a couple of hundred yards when the machine is running . Don't take any chances Andrew - imagine the consequences!
That was without a doubt the most random brush hogging I have ever seen.. The tractor would have worked great if Dave had just stuck to an area and mowed everything 4' and under then moved to the next area. Then Andrew could have focused on the bigger brush with the cutter designed for it. Could have made a lot better progress with a lot less damage to the tractor bush hog. You do have to adjust those slipper clutches as they wear also. It was probably wearing a bit faster than normal though with what it was going through.
My god, the paintless dent guys better be taking notes. That truck looked brand new after you fixed the dent in the bed side. Not a single indication left that it had been in a collision afterwards.
The main difference is mobility around a construction site. A skid steer will do a 360 turn in one spot and a tractor takes all day to turn around in a tight spot :) Tractors are kind of a novelty on a construction site but are good for wide open spaces like your property.
Andrew, love your videos. You look like you're having so much fun. Enjoy your life doing stuff. You enjoy in the you're very good at. Don't worry I always will be watching your videos.
Nice tractor! Has good power, capabilities and a cool mini turbo whistle! You missed your calling, Andrew. You were destined to be a great auto body repair technician! I can't even tell that anything happened to that panel.
Hey Andrew, the guy that was driving the skid steer behind you as y’all was going through the woods clearing it out you need to keep him back at least a couple hundred feet because if he would’ve hit like a big rock or a brick in the way that mulcher is tearing that stuff up it could shoot it up and hitch in the back of the head. You never know it keep distance on that. Keep safety in mind.
I love watching his tool and toy collection grow. I think he’s living the best life of doing things that are fun or interesting to him. Keep at it and making videos!
Actually it seems a little exhausting with all that equipment and a company of one! Lot's of maintenance and batteries are always dead from lack of use. Good for YT videos I suppose and that's why he hardly does any contract work (that he shows) anymore.

Hi Andrew, I finally watched every one of your videos, took a while, thanks for all the work you put into them and taking us along. love your projects. bye
Andrew, truly appreciate the effort which goes into providing the vids, hands down. Great content each time! When will the electric hoist & electric garage door opener be installed in the Castle shop?
That’s a very nice little tractor and well equipped. Fancy the seller not fixing that hyd control for the sake of a simple pin.!!! Good for you to negotiate the price down tho 👍 I don’t think Kodi was buying your perfect panel repair either 😂
Chain as top link on a bush hog is a way better idea, you'll see as soon as you get on an incline and the top link forces the mower deck into the ground.
Impressed with the "Dent Puller". A little buffing and it's as good as new. Less impressed with the blue mower. liked the blue tractor. Looks very handy! Blue mower looks like it's from 1960's Hungary.
It's priceless to see you get excited when you accomplish certain projects at various points in the vid man... like ingeniously fixing the massive dent in the white pickup truck🤣
I enjoy the majority of your videos, thanks for posting them. With all the land clearing you seem to do (over the years) I would have thought you would have purchased a forestry mulcher (Fecon). One of those would do a much better job and you would have MUCH less damage to your machinery.
Thank you Andrew for filming such interesting and enjoyable content. I love the style of your videos and your channel has been so much fun to follow along. Its been really nice that you've been uploading so much recently. I can always settle in and relax to watch a Camarata Video
Andrew, have you ever considered putting a flat bed instead of having a truck bed on that white pick up. A lot of flat bed have slots in it to make a rack around it if needed. You could weld a rack to fit it and take it off when not needed. Flat bed is wider,put more stuff on it to haul to location. If you could find a truck that has been wrecked,but flat bed is in real good condition. I think you would have more usage with a flat bed with a few cabinets attached for repair tools . Just a thought. I like all your videos. Very entertaining.
Yeah they generally only do that with the "Homesteader" TH-camr types who aint that hard on their equipment. One look at Andrew's back catalogue and they'd be covering their eyes and running for the exits......
He'll put them to hard work, then give his honest assessment on their performance. He calls it like he see it, and I'd imagine that'd pucker the assholes of most company execs
Can hear Andrew now using a new 7’ bush hog bull dozing and beathogging 4-6” trees with it, deck breaks out around the gear box and says…… look at that, it should have lasted longer than that and broke for no reason bit it did alright i guess😂
@young11984 he doesn't needlessly beat or abuse his equipment, except his pickup truck (lol!) He just expects a piece of equipment to perform the task it was built for, which in my opinion, as expensive as equipment is these days, isn't being unrealistic. He isn't going to be easy on something because it's an inferior piece of chineasium garbage.
I have the little baby brother to this tractor. New Holland TZ 25 DA also a 2005. Nice little unit with the front loader, ag tires and 60" deck. My neighbors are constantly asking for my help in moving material around on their properties. Worth every penny.
Andrew brush hogs a field like my Roomba sweeps my house. Funny to see random paths through the field just to hit all of the trees and saplings. 😂 Love the videos Andrew.
Yep, I brush hog randomly too. It just seems more fun that way. He has an extra 30 hp on his NH tractor than I do on my 43 HP on my Deere. It seems to help when pushing over trees.
Growing up my dad farmed Alfalfa and had hogs. A skid loader was a useful tool with back hoe, post hole auger, pallet forks, dirt bucket, bale spear & manure bucket. I’ve since inherited the property and cleaning up scrap iron, downed trees & junk I couldn’t imagine doing that without a skid loader. A 100 HP tractor with loader is nice but I prefer a skid loader
I think from a business perspective the skiddy is better. If you're looking for something on a ranch I'd go with a tractor. My thoughts are purely based on cost and the little research I've done into both. If cost wasn't a factor then I would choose the skiddy for both applications.
Straight mowing fields without trees, the tractor would be much more efficient. A 12 or 15 foot bat wing bush hog behind that 75hp tractor would out mow the track loader all day long.
Another great Andrew video. If was 2 hours long I would have watched every minute of it. Enjoyable, entertaining, and informative. Learn something new from each video. From this video I learned that pallet forks can double as paintless dent repair. Keep'm coming, Andrew.
Your hydraulic banks (what the hydraulic hoses plug into on the tractor) will last longer and stay leak free if you push then pull to remove the hoses.
Andrew. When you were considering some delicate body work for your pickup you said “I have an idea”. I knew we were in for something interesting. Well done!
Blue needs to use a lower ground speed for that kind of Mowing. Did you see the clutch smoke several times ? Even in tall heavy tuff weeds. Slow down and let it do its work instead of beating it to death. And put back the Chain Top link. When mower hits a quick rise in ground level the hydraulics can't slack fast enough, But the Chains can slack infinitely faster to avoid damage to the 3 point frame. You can't see it but it's going to break. I mowed old fields for 32 years as a custom operator it's not a distruction derby. Take care of your Equipment and it takes care of you with less down time.
They each have their strengths and weaknesses each can do something the other can't. If person can't afford a skid steer then the tractor is ideal especially if you are on a small farm or acreage. Nice tractor though hope it works out for you.
Andrew you crack me up. Side of truck caved in , Ill fix it with the skid steer . Crunch , yank, bend, Now that almost perfect. You are one of a kind, lol. I admire the hell out of you.
I love brush hogging saplings like that in a field. If you keep up with it and run the opposite direction each time, in 2-3 years the stumps rot away and you're left with a nice grassy field. It's an awesome progression.
You should watch the auctions for a service body for the Dodge since that bed is about done. I got one with a crane on it from a tire service company, it's pretty awesome being able to load a bucket without having the machine around.
It never surprises me when something of yours breaks because you're very abusive with your machinery because you know no matter what goes wrong uou can fix it. That's got to be fun and it makes great videos for all of us and I love watching. The trackstear with the tree blaster on the front is a beast. That would be fun to use all-day clearing land. You've got the life that's for sure.
Any vehicles or tools that outlast Andrew are great commercials for their companies. Andrew puts everything through their limits. Great job as usual Andrew!
Hey Andrew, take a look at one of those heavy duty drum forestry mulcher for your skid steer...they're about 30 grand, but they'll go through anything and the bits are easy to replace
Well it looks like Andrew can sell the D7. He’s got this tractor now that he uses as a bulldozer and it seems to work great. I mean who needs a dozer if you have a tractor?😂
Andrew, can you cut,rake,an bale hay with your skid steer? That tractor was designed for farm work. Not forest work. You can pull a brush hog,grade a small gravel driveway (not yours) plow some snow, move stuff an drag stuff around. I don’t think it’s really what you need. But if you can get you moneys worth out of it,an have some fun with it that great. If you get your pickup stuck just grab the tractor an yank it out.👍🇺🇸🤪
Interesting video comparing the two units. Apples vs Oranges though, I think. Definitely right that the tractor can go places the skid would struggle with. But the skid would be much easier to operate especially in limited spaces. IMO, the biggest problem in this situation was the cutter behind the tractor. With that tractor's HP you could put a quality cutter at least twice as wide (or more) behind it and hardly notice. You could also operate a monster snow blower. It would be interesting to know what you decide about it.

Andrew don't give up on this tractor. a 75hp pre-DEF tractor is a great tool. You need a quality heavy duty brush mower, maybe a flex wing rotory cutter. You can chop down trees with the skid steer. With a batwing you could cut a lot of pasture or fields that need annual upkeep. New sideline maybe?

a "pre dented" truck lmaooo. andrew your videos do not miss. every single one is incredible.
So glad you are posting videos regular again. It does bring joy to many people.
I love watching his tool and toy collection grow. I think he’s living the best life of doing things that are fun or interesting to him. Keep at it and making videos!
Actually it seems a little exhausting with all that equipment and a company of one! Lot's of maintenance and batteries are always dead from lack of use. Good for YT videos I suppose and that's why he hardly does any contract work (that he shows) anymore.
@@stevem6711you ain’t kidding. So many machines to maintain. Exhausting for sure but I love watching it lol
Roll theme tune from movie "Arthur":
Arthur he does what he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just he's just a boy
Livin' his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughin' about the way
They want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
Hi Andrew, I finally watched every one of your videos, took a while, thanks for all the work you put into them and taking us along. love your projects. bye
Thanks, glad you like them. That is a bunch of videos at this point.
I've always loved how you implement drone shots into your videos, they really tie it together nicely
"Look at those body lines!"
Freakin lol dude😂
Even the dog was like… what?! 😄
Equipment is getting Newer, Nicer & Bigger Andrew! Keep up the great work Bro! 😊
Andrew, truly appreciate the effort which goes into providing the vids, hands down. Great content each time! When will the electric hoist & electric garage door opener be installed in the Castle shop?
Even cody was questioning your body lines!lol! That mower was a beast, at least until the u-joint broke. Great video!
Still looks awesome for 18 years old. nice find. Missing is a brush guard on the tractor.
That’s a very nice little tractor and well equipped. Fancy the seller not fixing that hyd control for the sake of a simple pin.!!! Good for you to negotiate the price down tho 👍 I don’t think Kodi was buying your perfect panel repair either 😂
Different equipment for different jobs. Equipment is just like a tool box, everything has a proper useage.
Long time observer of some insane talent!! Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Chain as top link on a bush hog is a way better idea, you'll see as soon as you get on an incline and the top link forces the mower deck into the ground.
🤣😂🤣"I don't know if that's the proper use for that" 😂🤣😂
Andrew, Great comparison of the work they can and can’t do! Thanks!
Impressed with the "Dent Puller". A little buffing and it's as good as new. Less impressed with the blue mower. liked the blue tractor. Looks very handy! Blue mower looks like it's from 1960's Hungary.
Mad skills today Andrew. Electrical & Body work. Thank you for Sharing.
Cool video Andrew. I mowed a field like that once. Found lots of thorns. Not good. Lots of flat tires.
It's priceless to see you get excited when you accomplish certain projects at various points in the vid man... like ingeniously fixing the massive dent in the white pickup truck🤣
I enjoy the majority of your videos, thanks for posting them. With all the land clearing you seem to do (over the years) I would have thought you would have purchased a forestry mulcher (Fecon). One of those would do a much better job and you would have MUCH less damage to your machinery.
Great video! If you put a better mower on the back of the tractor I bet you’d be able to get a lot better results
I agree. Slow down. Keep the rpm high
PS did you see the smoke coming from the clutch pack on that little blue slasher, man he was pushing it hard
Thank you Andrew for filming such interesting and enjoyable content. I love the style of your videos and your channel has been so much fun to follow along. Its been really nice that you've been uploading so much recently. I can always settle in and relax to watch a Camarata Video
Andrew, have you ever considered putting a flat bed instead of having a truck bed on that white pick up. A lot of flat bed have slots in it to make a rack around it if needed. You could weld a rack to fit it and take it off when not needed. Flat bed is wider,put more stuff on it to haul to location. If you could find a truck that has been wrecked,but flat bed is in real good condition. I think you would have more usage with a flat bed with a few cabinets attached for repair tools . Just a thought. I like all your videos. Very entertaining.
I think it’s about time for a flatbed Andrew😅
Companies should durability test their equipment with Andrew. Then we would all know who makes the toughest stuff.
Yeah they generally only do that with the "Homesteader" TH-camr types who aint that hard on their equipment. One look at Andrew's back catalogue and they'd be covering their eyes and running for the exits......
He'll put them to hard work, then give his honest assessment on their performance.
He calls it like he see it, and I'd imagine that'd pucker the assholes of most company execs
Can hear Andrew now using a new 7’ bush hog bull dozing and beathogging 4-6” trees with it, deck breaks out around the gear box and says…… look at that, it should have lasted longer than that and broke for no reason bit it did alright i guess😂
I totally I agree
@young11984 he doesn't needlessly beat or abuse his equipment, except his pickup truck (lol!)
He just expects a piece of equipment to perform the task it was built for, which in my opinion, as expensive as equipment is these days, isn't being unrealistic.
He isn't going to be easy on something because it's an inferior piece of chineasium garbage.
I have the little baby brother to this tractor. New Holland TZ 25 DA also a 2005. Nice little unit with the front loader, ag tires and 60" deck. My neighbors are constantly asking for my help in moving material around on their properties. Worth every penny.
Happy New Year Andrew and Family. We look forward to all your videos. You are a Man of many talents. ❤
Andrew brush hogs a field like my Roomba sweeps my house. Funny to see random paths through the field just to hit all of the trees and saplings. 😂 Love the videos Andrew.
Yep, I brush hog randomly too. It just seems more fun that way. He has an extra 30 hp on his NH tractor than I do on my 43 HP on my Deere. It seems to help when pushing over trees.
I would love to see you get a drum mulcher for one of the Takeuchi track loaders.
Надо преобретать отдельный специальный трактор МУЛЬЧЕР
Growing up my dad farmed Alfalfa and had hogs. A skid loader was a useful tool with back hoe, post hole auger, pallet forks, dirt bucket, bale spear & manure bucket. I’ve since inherited the property and cleaning up scrap iron, downed trees & junk I couldn’t imagine doing that without a skid loader. A 100 HP tractor with loader is nice but I prefer a skid loader
Andrew’s Ford looks pretty handy
Always love the premium bodywork done by Andrew!
Always starts off with amazing videos!
I think from a business perspective the skiddy is better. If you're looking for something on a ranch I'd go with a tractor. My thoughts are purely based on cost and the little research I've done into both. If cost wasn't a factor then I would choose the skiddy for both applications.
Straight mowing fields without trees, the tractor would be much more efficient. A 12 or 15 foot bat wing bush hog behind that 75hp tractor would out mow the track loader all day long.
Skid steer tares up the yard though. Went with the tractor myself.
Yup yup, the correct answer is it depends on the end users uses
Another great Andrew video. If was 2 hours long I would have watched every minute of it. Enjoyable, entertaining, and informative. Learn something new from each video. From this video I learned that pallet forks can double as paintless dent repair. Keep'm coming, Andrew.
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Your hydraulic banks (what the hydraulic hoses plug into on the tractor) will last longer and stay leak free if you push then pull to remove the hoses.
I think it's time for Andrew to build a flatbed for the Dodge.
no
Andrew. When you were considering some delicate body work for your pickup you said “I have an idea”. I knew we were in for something interesting. Well done!
Blue needs to use a lower ground speed for that kind of Mowing. Did you see the clutch smoke several times ? Even in tall heavy tuff weeds. Slow down and let it do its work instead of beating it to death. And put back the Chain Top link. When mower hits a quick rise in ground level the hydraulics can't slack fast enough, But the Chains can slack infinitely faster to avoid damage to the 3 point frame. You can't see it but it's going to break. I mowed old fields for 32 years as a custom operator it's not a distruction derby. Take care of your Equipment and it takes care of you with less down time.
They each have their strengths and weaknesses each can do something the other can't. If person can't afford a skid steer then the tractor is ideal especially if you are on a small farm or acreage. Nice tractor though hope it works out for you.
Andrew you crack me up. Side of truck caved in , Ill fix it with the skid steer . Crunch , yank, bend, Now that almost perfect. You are one of a kind, lol. I admire the hell out of you.
I love brush hogging saplings like that in a field. If you keep up with it and run the opposite direction each time, in 2-3 years the stumps rot away and you're left with a nice grassy field. It's an awesome progression.
With all that brush, you should get a FORESTRY MULCHER ATTACHMENT for the track loader. It would knock out everything in that field with no problems.
Have you considered building a flat bed for your truck?
You should watch the auctions for a service body for the Dodge since that bed is about done. I got one with a crane on it from a tire service company, it's pretty awesome being able to load a bucket without having the machine around.
It never surprises me when something of yours breaks because you're very abusive with your machinery because you know no matter what goes wrong uou can fix it. That's got to be fun and it makes great videos for all of us and I love watching.
The trackstear with the tree blaster on the front is a beast. That would be fun to use all-day clearing land. You've got the life that's for sure.
Been waiting on the tractor video for a while! I am also looking forward to the Yanmar B37 rebuild too
Can’t wait to see this thing altered with a chainsaw
There's a double din radio that's destined for this tractor, via a chainsaw induced hole
Like what he used to install his radio in his truck!😂😂😂
@@1onelyoneno….def not XD
Or a flamethrower...
@@kevdelno bezel needed
Any vehicles or tools that outlast Andrew are great commercials for their companies. Andrew puts everything through their limits. Great job as usual Andrew!
I agree Andrew is an equipment killer, never seen anyone abuse equipment like him
Hey Andrew, take a look at one of those heavy duty drum forestry mulcher for your skid steer...they're about 30 grand, but they'll go through anything and the bits are easy to replace
Well it looks like Andrew can sell the D7. He’s got this tractor now that he uses as a bulldozer and it seems to work great. I mean who needs a dozer if you have a tractor?😂
Have to watch all the way through to catch the hidden gems
Merry Christmas Andrew...thankyou for all the amazing videos.
Andrew, can you cut,rake,an bale hay with your skid steer? That tractor was designed for farm work. Not forest work. You can pull a brush hog,grade a small gravel driveway (not yours) plow some snow, move stuff an drag stuff around. I don’t think it’s really what you need. But if you can get you moneys worth out of it,an have some fun with it that great. If you get your pickup stuck just grab the tractor an yank it out.👍🇺🇸🤪
Interesting video comparing the two units. Apples vs Oranges though, I think. Definitely right that the tractor can go places the skid would struggle with. But the skid would be much easier to operate especially in limited spaces. IMO, the biggest problem in this situation was the cutter behind the tractor. With that tractor's HP you could put a quality cutter at least twice as wide (or more) behind it and hardly notice. You could also operate a monster snow blower. It would be interesting to know what you decide about it.
