365°? Haha! That's the kind of mistake I'd make if I were making a video. Great video, Tony! I'm going to have a Mini Clip by the end of the summer, so thank you for showing us another product to drool over. Sure beats duct-taping a pole saw to the bucket. ;)
Duct taping a pole saw. That is something I would do to get out of work! I can 100% recommend the Mini Clip. We have about 30 hours of use now and it is awesome.
Great video Tony. Thank you. My husband and I are about to purchase the Tym 474 and we need this mini clip as we've got 5 acres of heavily wooded forest that needs clearing and trimming to make it healthy.
It looks as handy as pockets on a shirt but it also looks like a good way to get killed or injured pretty badly. I probably would have had one of those things back in the day when I was cleaning up property b bb
A person definitely has to be smart when using it. Still, out of all the things a tractor does this is not the most dangerous. I would go with rotary cutting.
Man there's a lot of money tied up in so much new gear there. A little T265 loader/backhoe is my limit which will be here in about a month. It sure is nice to have new gear.
As you pisted that scripture i was just puting my hands together and asking lord for forgiveness from today wile watching this and not even 20 sec later you posted scripture so that must be lord had you post that scripture on mini clip video right their it was for me psalm107
It looks really handy, but I'm having a hard time imagining using it on my Branson 2515H. Maybe, but it would be at the absolute limit, IMO (or at least my limit). Like so many of these specialty attachments, it seems you need to be able to make some money with them to justify the expense. The offset flail mower you used, I would use enough personally to justify it, though what I really want is a boom mounted sickle bar mower to stay 8 feet of so from pond and creek banks. At $10K or so, I would want to know I'd be able to make money with it to defray the cost.
greetings sir; thank you for the scripture reference, i am always looking for clean, videos to follow. i just subscribed and waiting on the future..................g
I would not have a need for it, but I use it around our new property. I have had several jobs because of this attachments too. Not many people can do this.
This piece of equipment is meant to be ran with common sense. We have used it for about 2 and 1/2 years now without any incidence. Most of the limbs that are being cut are too small to do any real damage.
I just don't show all the screw ups. LOL! In all seriousness, I am showing everything. The Mini Clip is very easy to use. It is like a big pair of pruning shears. I appreciate you.
Not a commercial, but the attachment is a money maker. I have had several people in my community ask me to prune trees. Dang, It is kind of a commercial. Not many people have this kind of capability.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Well gr8 stuff anyway. I just think Commerical a youtuber comes along with all new equipment and codes and Amazon affiliate links to buy the item they say is so great. You can call it what you want.
Very cool tool but I must say, as an arborist. You should follow up with a proper branch collar cut (maybe a poll saw) so the tree can properly heal and compartmentalize the wound👌
@@TonysTractorAdventure give a quick Google search on a proper collar cut. It'll show you what you need to know. Even if they are fence row trees it is still important. Very cool tool tho especially to make the first few cuts! Keeps you safe out of harm's way.
Look at it this way. Many more people have backhoes, but not many people have this type of attachment. I have made more money off this attachment than my backhoe, and it is much easier on the tractor. Light work.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Yeah, I'm just trying to maintain my acreage, not make money. On a cost basis, a pole saw does this job. I'd rent this sucker for a week at a time though, or I'd hire somebody to park out the trees and take out the lichen-filled hanging limbs. I got the backhoe with the tractor for fear that I'd never be able to justify the backhoe price later. ;)
@@TonysTractorAdventure I only just got my T265 after 7 months on order. One thing I noticed is it needs 3 gears not high & low, I'm always changing from low to work to high for tramming & the 4 WD lever is a massive hangup point getting off other than that It's pretty good, oh and the backhoe needs it's relief pressure turned up, It's not even straining when the hydraulics stall out, playing it a bit too safe I'm feeling. I've only operated it for 4 hours and these are what I'm finding. Other than that it's great.
TONY!!! Watching your channel is great, but you are leaving out important information for those of us who are looking to get equipment like yours...for example....can you note what size tractor you are using in the video with what ever the tool is. It is hard to figure out if our tractor is the same size as yours just by watching. Please give the NAMES/Brands of the item you are using and who sells it. It drives my hubby crazy because he will see something you are using that we would like to get but we don’t know what the correct name for that item it so we can look it up someplace and without this kind of important information it’s hard to search for it. Please, please add the information to your videos in the future. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the input. This is the third or fourth time we have done a video on the Mini Clip. In the first video, we address the size of our tractor. If you click on the description under the video, there is a link to the equipment manufacturers' website. I hope this helps. Tony
I had to make a correction on this. I thought you were talking about the stump grinder video I just put out. Your tractor along with my TYM T25 are too small for the mini. It's not a horsepower issue but a weight issue. I am assuming the model you quoted was a smaller 25 horsepower. I know LS tractor has one model of a 25 horsepower tractor that is substantial in size and lift capacity. If it is that model then I believe it would work.
I can cut about 18' in the air. A bigger tractor can go further. We are clearing a lot of land for our homestead, plus we can make a little money on the side.
