This Ain't Your Grandpa's Brush Hog

- If there was ever a Swiss Army knife of Brush Cutters, this has got to be it. I'm out in the Lane Shark LS-4 Brush Cutter today cutting back overhanging branches and mowing some tall grass along my trails. With a big rural property like mine, trail maintenance is always something I"m out doing. Lucky for me this brush cutter allows me to retire the pole saw and enjoy the A/C and sludge inside my tractor cab. Hopefully the bugs don't go extinct without the feast that me walking my trails cutting back brush by hand often provides them.

Nice easy day once in a while we got to have one of those just seat back and relax enjoying nature and taking care of things on the to do list have a great weekend
I sure don't mind those easy days every so often. Hope your weekend is going well!

Sandy,sometimes you have to have a little fun 🤩 when working and what better place to be than inside the tractor 🚜 bug,heat,free listening to music sipping sludge 😮😊❤
Sure was a comfortable afternoon in there Todd!
Nice enough day for it. Good vid. Thanks.
Thank you!
Very cool & versatile piece of equipment. Definitely falls into the category of “work smarter not harder”. This should open up the trails and make things incredibly more accessible. Thanks Sandy!
Thanks for coming along for the video
I have an LS2. Bought it new and used it maybe 2 hours trimming a driveway and three of the main bracket bolts broke that needed to be replaced with more heavy duty bolts. Got it running and took to my hunting lease to trim lanes. After 2 days (about 10 hours of actually working it) the skid steer mounting plate bent from the torque of the weight of the unit, the main pivot had about 1/2" of wobble and play and 2 main bearings in the motor housing went out and scared the main drive shaft. Lane Shark was contacted and were zero help. Said it was operator error and abuse. The unit never saw any branches over 2" and was used on a new Kubota M4-071 with a cab and was not "abused"! I spent $1730 on parts and labor plus the bearings and shaft that are on order now to fix it.
These units are not built to handle what they are intended to do. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY unless you have a good machine shop that can beef it up for you because you will need to beef it up substantially!!!! Unfortunately there really isn't another option like this out there. Beef it up Lane Shark or someone is going to get hurt when one of these comes apart while running!!!!
Appreciate ,this.i was seriously thinking on one .
Thanks for sharing Sandy. Stay cool up there.
Thanks Alfredo!
Heyyyy Sandy you getting good with that Lane Shark, soon you will be trimming hedges with it. Its 100 degrees at peak time here in GA And that air condition cab would be nice. Take care have a good weekend. Cheers!
Hey John! Sure is a warm one out there! Even here it was in the mid 30c this week. Which is very hot for June
Constructive destruction! Well done Sandy! 👍👏👋
Hey there Jill!
That thing is sweet for that overhanging canopy.
I sure like the ability to trim trails up high
Handy dandy tool to take out a swarm of misquitos or no see-ums beside the brush. They wouldn't know what hit them.
I sure wouldn't feel bad giving them a tour of the bottom side of the brush cutter
Hey Sandy! greetings again ftom the NEK in VT. Great mower! Nice to not have to crane your neck around to watch behind you! I'm so sick of that. The only thing that could make that mower better is if you could change its orientation from the cab. That sounds like an awesome welding and hydraulic project!
Great vid as usual, brother.
Great to hear from you! Beautiful part of the countryside you're from over in VT!
i like watching run your mill and using it's products. hopefully see you use some of the slabs.
Thanks for coming along for the video Fred. Lots more sawing to come
Our local Kioti/TYM dealer has had a Land Shark high in the air on display. Interested to know the downside to this attachment. Tim in northern TN
Hey there Tim! I haven’t found any negatives about it. All seems to work as intended and is solid
@@sawingwithsandy which particular model do you have?
LS-4
That sure works slick, but I think I would miss walking down all of my long trails with a lopper and pole saw. It gives you exercise, improves your dexterity (trimming branches and swatting mosquitoes at the same time is quite a skill), and it improves your endurance (after finishing the trail exhausted, you still need to walk back the length of the trail). I'm not sure what I would do without all of that in my life. On second thought, maybe I would enjoy it more. After all, isn't that the reason we have tractors and implements? I'm just kidding about doing it by hand, although that is how I do it now. The problem with owning a tractor is that there is always another implement to buy. I'm not broke yet, but I'm working on it. Thanks for sharing.
The ole mosquito swatting can ware a guy out haha . I hear ya about the implements. Sure is great having the selection but can drain a wallet in a hurry
Hello Sandy. This is an impressive machine as it is. It would be cool if the configuration could be changed from the cab, but that would mean a complete rework of the tool to accommodate the hydraulics. It does not seem to be a burden at all for your tractor. Have good days!
Thank you sir! Sure is a handy unit to keep my trails clear. Great to have ya along for the video Buddy Reed!
They have a model that can be.....but it costs about $3k more.
Sandy anything that keeps me away from those bugs is a great idea 😂
haha
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻…………………………………I like it every time I see you use it!!
Thank you!
nice job
Thanks Ken
Just caught your video so a little late to the party! Just wondering if it would work with just a regular third-function connection? If not, what alteration would be required. I have a Kubota L4060 with a dealer installed third-function that runs my grapple. It has the rocker switch installed on the joystick. Regards.
I’m not 100% but I believe what makes the third function kit I have a bit different is it is continuous flow so the hydraulic fluid doesn’t flow back through the valve but instead goes directly to the tractor sump which keeps the system from having any issue with hydraulic fluid temperature increase
Sandy, in a previous comment you posted no downsides to the Lane Shark. Do you see any torque or possible warp on your loader due to all the weight on one side. Just curious if you’ve noticed anything. Had a local tractor dealer indicate that could happen. Thanks
Good question Michael. I haven’t noticed any movement of my loader.
Ok thanks. I hope it doesn’t. I’m considering purchasing one myself but that was the only drawback I had if it did. Thanks for the reply.
Are you using the open and close buttons on the joystick to power the mower, or something else. I really want to get one of these.
If you scroll back the vid to a few minutes in, he shows and explains the multifunction stick he installed that has the single button on the side of it for the mower function.
I wondered, too, because @8:00 I could see the blades speeding up and slowing, and heard the motor whine cycle.
There's a third button on the joystick that operates the continuous flow hydraulic function on the third function kit.
@@sawingwithsandy Thanks Sandy, I'll have to see if that button on our joystick does the same thing. Thanks again.
@@gckshea That is why I asked.
Enjoy watching equipment I need but do not have. And, for my situation at the moment, know it's not realistic to think about . However, a man can and should always dream, right?
Absolutely! I’m dreaming every day
Sandy, you're irritating a lot of flying bugs that can't get at you while inside the cab of the tractor. "A Real Stud" would have left the door open! Hahahahaha.................... Take care and enjoy your sludge!
lol
Thanks Carl! Sludge is extra thick today !
What 3rd function kit is that?

Maybe someday he’ll build something again instead of advertise stuff
New builds happening all the time. Be sure to check out my other videos and thanks for watching
Yep nothing but advertising
I like seeing the new equipment
It's great to see the stuff that I can't afford being used and how to use it👍
Sorry Sandy, I do like seeing you use your equipment but lately it has felt like advertising. Can you advertise your sawmill a bit? 😮
Why not just cut the brush on the side of the path all way down instead of skimming over edges of it. Kinda pointless really nest year u have to hit it again
Much of the limbs hanging over my trails originate from larger trees so I cut the limbs back. Some brush I do cut back at ground level but depends on the situation and amount of time, effort I want to put into it
Doesn’t work so good not enough power blade hardly spins waste of time and money. A lot better products out there. Doesn’t cut worth a crap
Thanks for coming along for the video Mike. I’ve found it’s works great for my applications
