Covers cab comfort and visibility, a custom skid plate he had fabricated, hydraulic lift arm responsiveness issues and float drift, handling a heavy brush cutter, and DIY protective additions to the grill. Most useful to buyers planning hard-use land clearing who want an honest field report from someone doing that work.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own land-clearing work, introduced as Aaron with Otter Creek Farm.
It runs a Balma light CP572 brush cutter that cuts up to four inch trees and weighs about 2000 pounds, and the tractor manages it well without running out of power or lift capability.
The rear lift arm lever sometimes does not respond immediately, requiring pushing it fully forward then back to start working, and the arms tend to float or drift after being moved.
Yes, the owner at six foot one and 240 pounds found the cab spacious and comfortable to get in and out of, with everything ergonomically laid out well, unlike a tight older John Deere cockpit.
Not from the factory. The owner had a custom half inch skid plate fabricated to cover exposed lines and hoses underneath since brush and debris get caught there during land clearing.
