What have you found to set the settings at on the soil leveler and depth of tilling depth to get best seed bed finish? I have been trying to play with mine at different places but cant seem to get it just right without leaving ridges etc
Haven’t found a good setting for the soil leveler. It tends to just stay in the highest position. As for depth of till, we tend to stay around the 2-3” range and that has worked out very nicely for us. I personally believe ventrac was misleading when they showed off the cultivator. It can be a one pass and done tool, but that is EXTREMELY rare unless you work in the flat lands with little grade changes or direction changes. We always bring the power rake with us to do finishing passes with
@@Fayettepropertysolutions Those are great tips. Yea Ill need to use it along side the Power Rake or Landscape Rake from now on because have found the same thing. Thanks for the input!
@@Fayettepropertysolutions I haven't ran other 2 ton machines to compare to. But just looking at specs, the e20 is superior to most of those other machines in several ways: Reach, depth, lifting power, curling power, foot pedals, lots of space to quickly and easily mount and dismount, wider track stance, aux controls on joystick, etc etc. The E20 with the long stick and the rhinox coupler and rhinox 2 ft toothed digging bucket will stretch out a full 15 ft at ground level from centerline. I would imagine digging depth is closer to 9 and 1/2 ft.
@@cdmajesty4803 you’re correct about everything you just said! Those are the exact reasons the E20 was a clear choice for me. Also, having the boom swing and the aux controls on the joysticks vs a foot pedal is a huge advantage! Also, the operators station is much much larger than the competition as well! I would have liked a Kubota or Takeuchi but they just didn’t spec out close to the bobcat
I would absolutely agree! We had considered a ton of different options along the way for this job. Between the customers budget and our availability of different materials and services, we chose all of the options that we did. Thanks for your comment!
I’m glad to hear that. I kinda felt like it was a touch underpowered in stock form. I haven’t run it with any string yet either, only a blade. So that may be slightly skewing my experience
How does it hold up on a trailer at highway speeds? I dont know if i would leave it on all year around but it would have been a nice addition recently.
I travel with it on all the time. I don’t go over 55-65 mph with it though, but at those speeds it handles it fine. It’s not recommended by Digger Lid for you to do that, but it can certainly be done. It’s been holding up outstanding to traveling on the trailer and wandering thru the woods around branches and other things that want to reach out and grab you. Not even a scratch on it so far. It’s been so nice to not have a soaked operators station, and be able to drop the “door” when it starts raining to keep yourself from getting wet so you can *hopefully* finish what you need to do without getting soaked
@Fayettepropertysolutions I believe it a buddy of mine got one, and I thought it was stupid, but that thing will run circles around a mini skid with its turning radius and stability
We made the second pass because the depth wasn’t set deep enough to really cut everything out. If you watch at the end of the first pass, there is still some grass left over, along with some irregularities in the final look. This is our very first use of the attachment, so we were still attempting to figure out where it likes/needs to be. Thanks for your comment!
