Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equipment in Extreme Conditions

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video opens by showcasing various brush mowers attached to different heavy machinery, including Kubota skid steers, Bobcat skid steers, and John Deere tractors, actively clearing brush, saplings, and small trees. The narrator introduces Todd, the president of Quick Attach, and Shane, an engineer with 19 years of experience in building attachments. They discuss the goal of demonstrating the durability and robustness of Quick Attach brush mowers, specifically their ability to withstand impacts without shattering or breaking, unlike typical brush mowers. This is dramatically illustrated by intentionally running a Kubota SSV 75 skid steer with a Quick Attach brush mower over a large rock, generating sparks and dust but resulting only in a bent blade, not a broken one. This initial segment sets the stage for a detailed discussion about mower features designed for such resilience.

Goal: Understand the importance of durable design in brush mowers.

What they say

okay so let me ask the obvious question what are we trying to accomplish here guys meet Todd he's the president of quick attach which is a company that specializes in just building heavy-duty tools and attachments for equipment this is Shane he's been an engineer for Cooke attach for over 19 years and Todd and Shane are discussing why they should smash their brush more into a giant rock what does that make us better than everybody else well I don't know that it does make us better than everybody else it makes us good enough to withstand incidental impacts that you might come across surprises in the field they always they always happen it's gonna tear up the blades I mean this is a given but at least you're only out a couple hundred bucks on blades or something we know most brush motors don't have a stumped jumper they have that t-bar or they have some or other mechanism underneath there that isn't strong enough to withstand that or the boulder with the pressure relief valve to withstand this so I mean that's really what we're trying to show here all right where are you guys gonna be all right let me get my safe zone I'm gonna go over in here all right there's no wasps in here I [Applause] [Music] so the blades on this more are specifically designed not to break they're designed to actually twist and Bend but not to shatter because if those blades shattered and would send shrapnel flying could potentially injure people and actually pretty much destroy your mower let's take a closer look at this when he lifts this up [Laughter] [Music] Benten Benton didn't break that's the point but believes our ductile enough to withstand those impacts and not become shrapnel or projectiles that's why they're tested to that standard okay I think we did D end up destroying this one you guys remember last time we tried to do a brush bar video we said we didn't quite destroy memories like you didn't destroy it would you say we destroyed this one you guys yeah we yeah we wrecked the blade all right James will you hold this for me yep all right you guys I hope these videos helped you guys understand the key differences between brush mowers I don't know why I put that sequence here because this is not the end of the video it's actually just the beginning today we're gonna be looking at all of the different size brush bores from the tiniest ones all the way up to the biggest ones to help you guys figure out which one is right for you I mean these things range all the way in price…
