EquipmentWorld.com | April 2017 71 Rip through hard and soft woods The Bobcat 70-inch forestry cutter gives users the ability to easily rip through hard and soft woods; it fits on the Bobcat T750, T770 and T870 compact track loaders and S850 skid steer. With the addition of a 400-pound counterweight, the cutter can be used with Bobcat's T750 and T770 compact track loaders. Requiring high-flow hydraulics, the attachment can be tilted forward, throwing the material against the counter combs that reduce the wood to a fine mulch. An optional front gate can be lowered if the operator needs finer mulch. The tube-style drum and spiral tooth pattern allow one tooth to engage at a time for a smoother operation that requires less horsepower. The cutter comes standard with two-speed travel for increased drum torque and improved productiv- ity. An adjustable three-position push bar accom- modates an operator's preferred setting. LANDCLEARING ATTACHMENTS Gather rocks and debris, allow soil to sift through John Deere has introduced a new line of Root Rakes, which include models RR72, RR78 and RR84. Optimized to work with John Deere G- and E-Series skid steers and com- pact track loaders and K-Series compact wheel loaders, the attachments are designed for land clearing, ground leveling and moving materials away from buildings and obstruc- tions. The rakes gather rocks and debris while allowing soil to sift through, for minimal site and landscape disturbance. Built with alloy-steel construc- tion, the units have replaceable pin-on teeth and zinc-plated pivot pins with protected zerks. A weld-on "D" ring expands the attachment's capabilities, including pulling brush in forestry applications or moving scrap on a jobsite. Available in 72-inch, 78-inch and 84-inch widths, the rakes help shield the front of the host machine, protecting it against damage from large piles of brush or jagged scrap. landclearing attachments | staff report
