The presenter demonstrates its five pivot positions for banks and tree lines, cuts actual brush and a small tree in the field, explains hydraulic plumbing options including an optional power pack, flags safety concerns around lifting it while running, and compares it directly to the similar Laneshark product.
Posted by Messick's Farm Equipment, a dealership that sells this implement, so the comparison with a competing product favors the one they carry.
Lifting it in the air and curling it back toward yourself while running is dangerous since spinning blades can throw debris, and no chain currently limits how high it can be lifted.
Being hydraulic drive, it naturally slows down and picks back up again when it hits obstructions, instead of banging around or throwing a slip clutch or shear pin.
The TB1 has a guard in front to cover blades when pushing into things, uses a real blade bolt instead of a nut and bolt, and offers an optional power pack.
The feed can come from a third function, rear remote, or an optional power pack; the power pack simplifies plumbing but costs about $1,500 more than alternative methods.
