hi -I am new poster tonthe forum but have been readin for a few years. A quick background as prelude to the question at the end:
Wife and I bought some land that had been cut/tortured by previous owners intent on creating cow pastures from woodlands- they did a poor job, gave up and we bought behind them.
i am trying to clear a little at a time to replant in varieties of oaks, walnuts and the like, but was slow going with rotary bushhog, so i bought a well used alamo shd88 offset left.
it came without knives, shackles or pins, so i got 48 pins/shackles, and 96 Y knives.
its really quite good moving through everything thats overgrown- volunteer regrowth of sweetgums are 20’ tall in places.
I am using a kubota
L3301, which is at the bottom of recommended HP i think, but in low range it eats nicely
and now for the question:
would it be possible/acceptable to put cast hammers on this thing? and if so, please share a comparable part number/supplier.
while I am pretty sure i can do what i need with the Y blades, seems hammers would shred the sweetgums better.
additionally- is there a recommenation on cotter pin type, or method of bending that would keep them in place longer? ive had a couple jump ship, and it makes quite a racket when the Y blades’ drifts out to allow contact with the underbelly…
TIA
