Was surprised that there was no extra weight in the dump bed.

I know some people use weight and I have a empty 55 gal drum set aside to fill with ballast but haven't needed it. From a stop with the blade a full angle it does want to push the Toolcat to the side with 1ft of snow but can be steered into and overcome (like at the 2:55 min mark in the above video). That's about the only place where I even notice an issue.

Since its a video, I'll add to Nates fun thread.
Dirtmonkey came out and played with my snow plow and my toolcat a bit this winter.

Toolcat is in the last half of the video.

Nice! Everyone loves seeing Toolcat's in action. Hasn't been enough videos of them.

Alright, might get some comments on this one...lol but I did a lift capability video for the toolcat with various objects including a boulder, 27ft tree log and my car with 530 miles on it Enjoy

Noticed you wearing a "One Lap" shirt. My co-driver and I ran the "One Lap" for 17 years, starting in the early 90's. All us One Lappers are a bit crazy. I understand.

Only got a chance to run it once in 2012 with a friend and his supercharged BMW M3. It was fun!

Cleared some brush and a ~8in tree with the MTL XC7 Brush Cutter.

Here's how to add rear aux hydraulic with manual selector valve that switches between the dump bed and the aux ports. I installed this on my Toolcat 5600 for use with a UTV Hitchworks 3-point hitch. I used a metro 6-port hydraulic selector valve with a knob to switch between sending hydraulic flow to the dump bed or the rear 3-point hitch in my case. Mine ended up a little messier than desired so I might go back and redo the hoses with 1/4in hose and use the below suggested hose lengths (I used 18,18,60, 67 inches in a 3/8 hose size).

Suggested Hoses:
16in, 20in, 56in and 62in with 3/8 flare female on all ends. Get 1/4 hose if possible but with 3/8 fittings

Fittings:
2x 3/8 NPT male to 3/8 flare male elbow
2x 3/8 flare T fitting
2x 3/8 NPT male to 3/8 flare male
2x 3/8 flare plugs for OE passenger lines
2x 3/8 NPT male to 1/4 NPT male: https://amzn.to/3yB8JwO
Desired quick connect style with 1/4 NPT female: Amazon.com: 1/4” Ag ISO 5675 Hydraulic Quick Connect Pioneer Style Couplers, 1/4” NPT Thread, 2 Sets : Industrial & Scientific
All the aboce cost me $200 at my local store
Here is the selector valve I used, Metro 280379: Amazon.com: Metro Six Port - Two-Position Double Selector Valves: 20 GPM, 3000 PSI with 3/8 NPT Port Size, 280379 : Industrial & Scientific
Total around $350

Nice auto connect.

Would have liked to have seen that big bush hog doing some cutting of some small trees, maybe on a slope.

Another video shows taking on an 8 inch tree.

Wonder how the Toolcat and the other Bobcat are on slopes. All those videos are on relatively level ground.
