Had some cutting to do today so shot some video hooking/unhooking.
The standards were that I hooked a separate brush cutter to two different tractors and moved to a relatively flat area. Set the cutter on blocks, unhooked the tractor and moved it forward 8-10 feet. Then started the video camera, hooked up to the individual cutter, picked it up and started it, stopped it and sat it back down, unhooked and moved the tractor 8-10 feet away from the cutter. After shooting the first setup, I moved it out of the way and moved the second in place and shot it.
In an attempt to stay neutral, I'll only say if you watch the videos there will be a clock running on the screen to show the time taken for each setup. The simplicity or complications are easily seen in the video as the camera was at a good angle, with very clear video. I'll answer any additional questions viewers might have concerning equipment used. I take no side here, just offering the comparison since this topic has been discussed to death on TBN. I would also welcome anyone else's videos that might shed a different light. Let the discussions begin!!!!
First video is with my M9540 CAT II tractor using a Quick Hitch and hooking to a CAT II John Deere model 1008 10' mounted cutter. I think if you click on the pic, it'll start.
Second video is with my Brother's L3240 CAT I tractor using the factory extendable 3pt arms and factory telescopic/pinned stabilizers and hooking to a CAT I Rhino SE6 6' mounted cutter. Again, click on the pic.
