Shredder and Lane Shark

[wendlingknives]

If you have that much growth and work you should have a USDA forester come from A+M to mark
every trash tree to get rid of them.

Renting a 4-wheel drive aerial lift would be safer than using a lane shark.

Maybe forested areas differ, but its not really just trees. Its a pine forest. And lots of trash brush and tall weeds that creep out into trails. I dont think USDA is going to come out multiple times/year and i cant clear 30' trails through the forest.
What is unsafe about a lane shark?

The fact that it will throw impacted material and could also break glass in a cab.

I guess I would look at renting a feller buncher or a loader with a forestry mower.

Running a 6 ft shredder wouldn’t be an issue on a 55 hp tractor but at only 7.6 gpm on the remotes would be a problem running a lane shark
I would prefer a separate pump and oil tank

Lane shark offers a couple different motors

• Hydraulic Flow Range [Small motor]: 5 gpm to 8.5 gpm
• Hydraulic Flow Range [Standard Motor]: 8.5 gpm to 14.9 gpm
• Hydraulic Flow Range [High Capacity Motor]: 15 gpm to 20 gpm (Special Order Only)

Looking at a TYM T574 HST and wondering if it would run a 6' shredder on the PTO and a Lane Shark off the front (probably through the rear hydros for flow reasons) at the same time. Or would this be too much of a draw on the hydraulic system? Im in the woods and it would be awful handy for mowing the trails and saving time that way

Will it run it, sure. Should You run them both, no. That's a he'll of a lot of paying attention, forward, backward, up, down, all while watching everything, and debris going in 360 degrees....

We need our hand on steering wheel, available for 3 point lever, loader, and 3rd function or rear remote. We also need to watch the loader/lane shark, 4 tires, above the machine, and the rear mower. Something gets in a bind, your going to have to ID which impliment is the issue, and react very fast. I just don't think using both at same time is smart

Road, trail, fence line woods encroachment always an issue. My limbs tend to be bigger and higher. Hydraulic FEL polesaw and 5’ rear brown tree cutter is helping me maintain and reclaim. On my hillside farm have to be real careful raising any cutter.

They will only have to come out "once" to examine your property and
explain in greater detail what you should do with it in a detailed report
that is sent to you by mail.

A large enough forestry mulcher will let you knock down everything on
either side of the lane for the width of the mulching head and also dig
out the stumps and weed trees at the same time on the first pass.

This would allow you to invest in a heavier hammer knife flail mower like
a Maschio or Del Morino orchard and vineyard shredder and mow as often
as you like after all the clearing of the laneway one or two cuts wide.

The more powerful forestry mulcher you rent or hire the faster the
lanes shoulders will be cleared in one pass.
