I've NEVER seen a Skid Steer Attachment Like this.

What happens here

After the host's initial operation of the skid steer tiller, the group gathers to discuss the results and compare the different tilling methods. Olaf from CMP Attachments provides time estimates for tilling each section: the mid-size skid steer completed its section in 5 minutes, another section in 9 minutes, and the host’s section in 7-8 minutes, noting his efficient operation. The discussion highlights the importance of keeping the disk level and maintaining even pressure across the center for optimal performance. The goal is to achieve a fine, smooth soil bed suitable for seeding grass or other crops. The host further explains that the skid steer's ability to till both forward and backward allows for initial aggressive tilling and then a final back-dragging pass to smooth the ground without driving over the prepared soil, preventing recompaction. This is presented as a significant advantage, especially for creating food plots or preparing seed beds. They emphasize 'time and quality' as crucial metrics for these tasks. Jameson, the tractor operator, admits to back pain from the tractor's rough ride and constant looking back, contrasting with the skid steer's forward visibility and smoother operation.

Goal: Evaluate the time efficiency, ground quality, and operational comfort of different tilling machines and techniques.

to be able to do that i love it i love it is that awesome dude i know it's got a learning curve right for sure but but you were in it you were in it for about six minutes six minutes yeah and i was already finding the sweet spots i was already figuring out what to do and what not to do give me a day in it and i'll be farmer jones and this this is honestly this is some of the hardest stuff you can work with because i mean this is established roots this is not new seating this is established root systems and deep roots and hard pushing now what is jamison doing over there he's preparing our tests for for derrick and jameson and maybe you on filling those holes back in we've got the three skids or we got three three equipment we're gonna use a tractor with a three-point hydra rake and a bucket and a loader we're gonna have jameson and his t450 in the hydra bucket and then we've got a t-76 that we're going to use a bucket and and the skid steer hydra rake and we're going to take those piles that he's digging and they're going to put them back together it's a 20 foot approximately 20 foot by 20 foot one foot hole and we're gonna see who does the fastest and most efficient job of preparing that 25-20 foot square for seating for seat for for any kind of seat yep all right so we could like we would do we want to get it smooth enough that we could seat it with grassy correct that's the idea who can do it the not necessarily the quickest but i think we should probably judge time and quality time and quality because those are the two things guys they don't really care about one or the other they want both when they put their dollars bills down right i like it what are we doing i'm thinking uh i'm hoping i can win with the tractor because that's where i put my money in my mouth 10 years ago 10 years ago that's right this is where this video came from one thing i will say is my back does hurt now um and i'm not lying like it was i loved my tractor i had to fill my air seat up it was it was rough i don't know if you guys noticed on the outside i noticed okay so i noticed you're not only doing this but this yeah looking back looking back yep and there's nothing worse like when i'm snow plowing after 12 hours i don't even want to look back just from all the years of welding and not having the proper tools that i probably should have had and you're a little deaf too maybe then yeah okay what [Music] well and you weren't turning around correct and and you're keeping you're…
