Three participants take turns and share real-time reactions, with actual pricing discussed (roughly $8,000 combined, ~$4,000 for the power pack alone) and honest notes on limits like hydraulic GPM constraints and heavy brush. Best for anyone weighing a front-mount mower or a PTO-driven hydraulic power pack as a compact-tractor upgrade.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-hobbyist channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, not a dealership or manufacturer, so the impressions here are hands-on rather than sales-driven.
Roughly $8,000 for the mower and power pack combined, with the power pack alone costing about $4,000, which is over half the total cost.
You face forward instead of driving backwards, so you can see what you are doing the whole time instead of mowing in reverse.
The power pack provides 3,000 PSI at 15 gallons per minute, running off the tractor's PTO at 540 rpm through an overrunner.
It handled one or two inch stuff and clumps up to about six or sixteen inches across, though very heavy growth and larger trees were tougher.
