Did a strip of 30" high weeds maybe 25' by 250' or so in about 15 minuites. Made toothpicks out of a limb. Ran the 2110 in 2nd at about 3/4 throttle. Both the Weedcutter and the Landlord did awesome.

| Takes some getting used to with the hydro lift. Those grooves in the soil are that RH side of the cutter...they dig in hard, and I have learned to float the whole rig about a half inch above the soil to keep from tearing up turf. It's a balancing act, but it's worth the learning curve, for sure! |

| I have the working class manual lift so I know which peg to put the bolt through! :) Heck, the first time I used it I thought it was supposed to slide on the ground.....it didn't take long to figure out what a stupid thought that was!! |

| I spent an hour in the woods cutting "brush", in this case weeds with pine and poplar saplings up to an inch, some left 2" tall stalks which just bent over in the moist loam running over them. No problem. I can see some scenario's where you'd need to be carefull to avoid tire damage, but I dont think so here. It effortlessly shredded everything it came across. I'll tell you I'm not comfortable anywhere in a 180 degree semi-circle in front with the engine running. I'd guess it would also shred any "wildlife" up to 30 pounds or so. It sure shredded some good sized saplings without slowing it down a bit. |

| I can see why they don't make anything like this anymore. It goes through so much. Even with only 10 horses behind it I have never been stopped from going through something. I know I have gone through 1.5 inch saplings with just a thunk. It is a very well designed cutter, but it is definitely not idiot-proof. Again, I can certainly see why no one would ever put something like this out on the market now. A shame with how well it works. But also very dangerous. That said, I love mine!! :) |

We spend so much on product liability it's staggering. Some cars now in addition to seat belts, crumpell zones, brake-away engine/transmission mounts, side impact protection, backup alarms and ABS also have 6 or more air bags, making up 50% or more of the new purchase price. And not even 1 in 10,000 ever gets used.
I dont see how I'm sitting here after driving my 96 Ranger XL which has none of them. Oops! it does have an SRS drivers side airbag.
BUT
Great attachment, It's found it's home on the 2110. I suppose I could also mow with the 2110 but my 7013S has a 42" deck as backup now, and my 3414S is just setting there looking mean. Both better mowing tractors than the old Landlord. Of course I'll never mow with anything besides my Sovereign 3416H if I dont have too. :)
I think the old Baron looks mean, or maybe pissed!

I would never consider anything but the "working class manual lift" on my BIG TEN with the stinger counter weight and dozer blade. Much finer control. And really, most attachments you put them down and leave them there till your done so the lift, IMHO, isn't a big deal. |

I wouldnt go without the hydrolift...makes tilling and cultivating a breeze...makes plowing snow fun instead of work! I dont have to plow dirt, so the feel and control of the manual lift is never needed. The time or two I have moved soil, I used the grader and its a smooth operator for dirt, with no digging or gouging concerns at all.
I like it for the weedcutter too, since my 'mess' of a lot is so uneven and riddled with debris, that I do a lot of up and down with it. Just took some seat time to learn how to get comfy with it. Unless it was a stricly mowing machine, I wouldn't go without the hydrolift...PLUS, with the dual lift, you get the best of both, anytime you need it! |

Actually not, You cant use the stinger counterweight with the right hand lift, and with hydrolift you'd be better putting rear weights on the wheels. |

We'll have to make it over some time so you can try it out What you got in the fridge?

Oh, I'm sure I'd love it, I have a right hand lift from a 6200 series I'm going to adapt, just cant decide which tractor.... As for the fridge, Labatts Blue inside and either Canadien whiskey or Kuntucky bourbon on top.
I want to put a dozer blade and roto tiller on 1 tractor, break up the high spots with the tiller then level it out with the blade, and the tiller will make good weight for traction. |
