New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

A MUCH bigger pile and NO stacking or arranging, way way better on a long drag. No problem with pivoting and setting this whole pile on the mouth of the chipper as the pile is too big to go in any throat anyway. Takes NO time to thread the line thru or unthread it by just unsnapping and backing up, the line stays on the grapple...I am making way less trips than you.

While you are stacking your nit picking pile to fit in the big money waste grapple, I probably am half way to the chipper and have used a LOT less energy.

I hear you, but will only believe you once you provide video proof. Or at least a picture, with time, if right before you start. Then another picture, with time, after the pile is chipped. That would only take about 3 seconds of your precious time.

Like I said I did the while slip rope thing for a year...i know what it is like. Even if you have the rope preset under the brush, it still takes longer to bundle it up.

Anywho, a lot of my brush loads with the BMG the branches are too big to hand cinch the pile together anyways...on a flop and clean up job. Bomb outs not much different either.

This is not wide track-specific. I thought this was the TX 1000 wide track thread. :aburrido:
 
I stood on the 1000 wide track yesterday while at Cal Line Equipment to learn a few other things and research a chip truck purchase. It's an impressive hunk of iron for a mini skid. They had more of that one model (3 or 4) than all other models combined.

Ok, I'll stop. But I didn't start the BMG vs grapple discussion. Nor did I personally attack anyone.

Wide tracks is best...unless it prevents you from fitting in were you want to go.

I appreciate your input: I was mocking goofball.

Does anyone have experience with say
a Ryan's grapple, or other brand?

Or is it BMG, Treerat's Grapple, or Go somewhere else with a new thread?

The wide track grapples are superior.:aburrido::aburrido:

Just pushed 120 hours on our wide track. No issues so far. I would not even consider the narrow track. Rental shop we bought ours from has a narrow track, guy who works for me (drives ours daily) rented the narrow with a friend for the weekend. He was pretty stoked we got the wide track.
Have had no troubles with gates and paths yet. Awesome machine. Nothing touches it. Best in class. Any comparisons anyone has provided me with are on machines with at least 10hp more...not in the same class.
 
Just over 400 hrs on our machine. I have found a weak point. The welds holding the back pins on the loader arms are not beefy enough, and the pins on both sides have broken out. I had them re-welded at a local welding shop, as I didn't have the time to deal with warranty. But I agree, it is an awesome machine! I tell folks that it is the kingpin of our operation! Not much gets done without it.

That's the decision I'm having a hard time with. About 90% of our back yard jobs are fenced in. All older houses have the typical 36" ish gate while newer seem to have 48". I'm going to demo the wide track tomorrow. What was your employees big gripe with the narrow vs the wide? They are identical other than width.
 
ya gotta be tetched to buy a wide track then stand there with a quizzical look at wood in the back yard and your mini on the other side of the gate :frenetico::birras::tonto::wtf::frio:. Lots of use on my narrow and no probs...love it. Had the previous best in the 525 tx narrow. Significant improvement.
 
Theres no doubt the minis are great labor savers, and Toro has one of the most turf friendly track tread patterns I have seen, not to mention the 1000's speed, superior GPM, crazy strong tipping.

That said if you are laying down a lot of alturna mats for your track minis and you hate it.
Then the no need for mats is just one of the reasons articulating machines are the next level up in forwarding machines.

The grapple discussions are hilarious
