ventac's boom mower is just too expensive and it looks like a PITA to put on. jim

It IS very expensive. However, it is not difficult to attach. It is the only Ventrac attachment (that I know of) which comes with jacks. This allows one to keep it perfect height for connecting.

While expensive, it is amazing at cutting very difficult areas.

I wrote numerous threads about my misadventure with the Samurai cutter.

My first question is what happens when it grabs on a rock of just the right size and it gets between the teeth, or the teeth and the frame?

Over 20,000.00 I could buy a used cut for that and get a 7' mower for less..... jim

It has several required accessories that brings the price up quite a bit. Starts at over $15,300 then add the required accessories.

As for rock damage in the Samurai Sickle. You don't have to worry about that. It will have destroyed itself in fiftten minutes anyway, cutting branches that it's easily supposed to be rated for.
