ToolCat, rev. C: I struggled through two years of mis- and un- diagnosed drive motor failure. With help from a member of this forum, I replaced both hydraulic motors last winter.
It's growing season, starting to rely on ToolCat again. Over last two years I had stored my Bobcat BrushCat mower (heavy, heavy tool) in the most inconvenient position in my shop because I never used it as my ToolCat never had the motive force to move it effectively.
Anyway, with new drive motors I'm using the ToolCat again this Spring and it is.....well, a BEAST!
I mowed blackberries at a commercial farm last weekend. Periphery around 33 acres. Some bushes were nine feet tall. Just drove/mowed straight into and through them. Running turf tires, never experienced this before: ToolCat impressive forward force, throwing dirt, digging into it
Lots of fun but in my exuberance last weekend I learned about the BrushCat's shear pin. Don't hear about this very often but if anyone ever needs the scoop on BrushCat shear pin, I've got that number. Cheers.
