no first hand experience here...

I wouldn't wory about the loader arms. those brushcutters are much lighter than the loads the arms are designed to pick up.
any vibration stong enough to damage the arms would completely demolish the cutter.

I don't own a PT100 but it is rated for 3800lbs and I think that most of the mulching heads weigh around 2000-2400lbs. I can't see it being a problem.

With proper use there should not be a probelm with cracking the loader arms.The vibration and weight do mean you need to grease more often.Also the weight of the head is enough to stress the machine if you let it drop quickly and handle it roughly.PT-100 is good multi use machine. If all I was doing was mulching I would go with a dedicated machine.That said the PT-100 will do other jobs while the dedicated machine is just killing the grass in your yard when your not using it.Like all machines it depends on the operator.

like said before me. The rc100 is a very versatile machine. I personaly am a asv fan. I have never herd of loaded arm problems on the ash machines.
