Guess I should have said just privlidged (sp) to test. don't want to give myself any undeserved credit or take any away from the designer/fabricator.
Here are a few snapshots.
This head was not designed for looks but rather performance, simple maintenance, balance, and light weight.
As for the performance, well it has outperformed everything in its pricerange!
My personal likes-
The weight- only 1600lbs, Very comfortable and does not draw down the hydraulics when lifting and manuvering. Almost 800lbs lighter than my magnum. also relates to less stress on the loader arms, pins etc.
The atachment is angled much the same way as the timberax. This allows the atachment pins to be at an angle insteas of straight down when backdragging. I have had to weld extensions to my pins more than once due to the pins wearing down. It also keeps the hydraulic lines well protected in the QA area. Trust me this is a lot less to have to worry about!
The balance- this head is ultra smooth.
The cut- does not just beat the brush but actually cuts it.The knives can be resharpened. The head is designed so you can angle the rear plate almost perpendicular to the ground, trapping the debris and continuing to cut it instead of throwing it under the machine like a spear.
There was a reduction of almost 20 degrees in operating temperature of my machine when running this head. Almost no bogging or stalling, hydraulic motor had much better cooling being exposed so much. This feature alone could keep you mulching in the summer.
The visibility- excellent you can see everything, very exact
The seviceability- onlt two grease fittings, no transmission, direct drive, easily sourced resonably priced parts, nothing special order. Only 24 knives versus the many on the Magnum. This means teeth can be replaced for half the cost and in half the time. If one tooth hapens to contact something uncuttable(metal) etc,and breakes, you can easily replace the knife in the field without worry of affecting your balance. Was told knives would be @ $30 each. If you break a carbide hammer on others, you either run with it out of balance or replace the hammer for about $80
