Read articles →This one is about the Lane Shark front-mount brush mower on a Grand L4760, not the tractor itself. The owner walks through the actual hydraulic plumbing install, third function supply, adding a separate return line through the loader, bulkhead fittings, and sealant tips, then field-tests it on blackberry vines and Scotch broom, noting it bogs down on woody brush and that the tractor's flow limits mulching performance. Best for buyers considering this specific implement.
An owner-operator documenting his own install and real-world use of a newly purchased implement, with a mentioned dealer connection for where he got the unit.
Tap the supply from the existing third function, then run a separate return line through the loader to the sump using bulkhead fittings and quick connects so the loader can still be removed.
The tractor only has about 10 to 14 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow, which is not high flow like a skid steer forestry mulcher, so woody Scotch broom bogs it down.
No, use a non-fouling sealant like Loctite 545 instead, since Teflon tape can dislodge into the hydraulic system and damage valves.
It does really well on blackberry vines and light brush, mulching them into the ground, but tends to bog down and needs patience on thicker, woody Scotch broom.
