Great to see you back on youtube doing some videos. I hope you're feeling better.
Note to self: NEVER annoy Mike when he’s brush hogging 😳😎😆
Looking forward to seeing this in action. Great to see you “Back on Site”!! Merry Christmas to you Mike and your family!!🎄👍🇺🇸
If you have Aux-2 piping on your skidsteer, you could use it to operate the upper grab independently. They you can use the upper jaws as an accumulator so you can cut several small trees at a time. Westtech shears are set up with a spring-jaw on the accumulator grab for easier opening, works pretty slick and you can cut a snoot-full at a time. When working around surrounding tall trees, try shearing them off as high as you can reach first, then go back after the remainder. Much easier to navigate around other trees and get them laid down without stripping branches off desirable trees that are nearby. These are great videos, there's a lot we can all learn by seeing what works and what doesn't!
Mikey for the price you paid for it, you get 10X that back. Its another money maker, the little bits all add up. You could let DB Junior loose with that thing he would have a whale of a time!
Good to see you back on your feet!
Nice I got alot of time with one of those a few years back . Once you get used to it you can fly around cutting. All forestry equipment needs constant welding though!
Yeah, you do try anything and it was SO GOOD to see/hear *DIRT BOSS* again! Take care buddy!
Good to see you back happy holidays to you and family
Those tree shears are designed to run right in the dirt to cut the stump as close as possible to the ground…as long as you aren’t trying to chip rocks with them you can get pretty up close and personal to the turf…that shear is basically like a feller buncher without the the accumulator claw and the disk saw…bobcat made a big skid back in the day specifically designed for sylviculture and it ran a head very similar to this one…it’s all technique at the end of the day…
*HELLO* ! I was just asking BRANDON about you a couple days ago and like an early Christmas GIFT - *HERE Y O U ARE* and we are ALL SO GLAD! your mind is always working and TOPCAT may take you away since you can do better than who they have. Those short/low cuts look like split fire wood! Good deal 2 & *THANK YOU*
At 15:25 Just remove the pin and turn the cylinder so the grease zerk is on the front. You knocked it off once and you will do it again!
Nice addition to your fleet mike best part was that it’s colour match to your kubota 😂😂
3000 views and 477 thumbs up. Come on now guys and girls!
At least you keep your equipment clean!!!!!!
Have fun with your new toy and I can’t wait to hear about what you have in store for the machine??? I’m thinking there’s something big in the works!!!??? Great to see you on your feet and moving like the OG DIRT BOSS!!!! Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and I hope we’ll see you before next year 😂😂!!!! Give my regards to the girls and Max too!!!!
I wish Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the video! My husband and I just picked up one of these attachments and there isn't a website or a manual (that I could find) to figure out what to do with the remote that came with it. It appears as though it can be wired into something, but I'm not sure what. It's good to know that we don't need the remote.
The Dirt Boss is back on site !!! 😃
You simplified the workings of the shear, keep it simple 👍🤓
Happy Christmas to you and your family Mike ! 🎄
Hi Boss , Thanks for the DEMO . 3500 looks reasonable . Glad you took out the trouble maker . The less junk involved the less junky problems .
So I take it you will be building a shop there in the woods next to the parking lot.
Glad to see you doing better.
Yaaaah!! Great to see the DB Back on site!
Hope the DB is doing well. Mild winter...need to be back on site!
Dirt Boss!!!! Can't wait to see what you got coming up.
Good to see ya. Merry Christmas to you and the family
Merry Christmas to you and your family! And give Sammie a very special Christmas hug from all of us!
DB, could you flip the cylinder end where the grease zerk hit to the front like you mentioned so it wouldn’t hit? At least on the one end….. just a thought. Hard to tell from a video glimpse. Looking forward to what’s to come 👍🏼
Glad you are back on site. Happy holidays
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dirt Boss Family🎄 🎁 🎁🎄
You could try flipping that top cylinder over so the grease fitting won't get smashed again
👍great info bought one at Richie bros auction went to Montreal to pick it up really like what you did with the hydraulics
You should be ok for cutting just remember no pushing y'all have a Merry Christmas 👍🏻🇺🇸
Yes, I bought this Topcat Tree Sheer, and like you, I bought it from an auction. It came with no instructions, only a plastic back with the electrical wiring. I also was scratching my head until I found your video. Thank you so much. Can you please post a hose connection diagram along with the size of the hydraulic T connectors? Thank you for your videos!
Look through the comments somebody has posted that already
Nice to see you back, Mike. Look forwards to future content
Nice Christmas present to have you back.
The shear I have uses a sequencing valve. That way the the grab tines never see full pressure.
Fantastic deal on that tree muncher, Dirt Boss! I wonder if you couldn't undo that chrome end where the jerk busted and twist it over to have it facing out. You can't do that with the other end, but instead, I wonder if you could spin the whole piston end for end, keeping the hydraulics facing down and then have both jerks facing out. That MIGHT change the dynamics of those jaws opening/closing, but it might be worth looking at. I also thought about possibly some thick hard rubber bumpers you could mount at the jerk contact points.
Yes I thought of that too I think that will work I just didn't want to get hydraulic fluid all over me for the 15th time.. LOL.. I actually plated in it today in the weak spots got a little more to do before she hits the woods..
@@DIRT-BOSS You know you like playing in hyrdaulic fluid, LOL! Merry Christmas to you, the Mrs and your whole beautiful family. Good to see you back.
Nice review. Brutally honest, as they all should be.
Awesome Mike, from my family to your family Merry Christmas and Happy New year my friend.
I make tree shears for small excavators with one arm cut for doing small over hanging limbs and that unit looks very good for the price 👌
Good to see you back
Back on site! Nice to you DB 👍🏻
Nicey Nice!
Brain + thinking = solution. 👍
Attaboy Dirtboss.
I used a similar design almost 40 years ago on a 1087B Case excavator cutting wood. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it. I would suggest you keep the trees 12" or smaller, makes it easier on everything your machine included. Keep Smilin,
Thanks for the video. That is the first time I've seen that type of implement on a CTL.
Pretty nice attachment mike, we'll see how long it lasts, hopefully a long time, it worked good, thanks for sharing
boy do we need to talk about your lawn...😂 had it all looking pretty !
Thanks for the video. I was wondering how to bypass the electrical to use on a tractor with one button joystick.
Could you flip the top piston over to avoid hitting the grease ports?
Great video Mike. Have a Merry Christmas Brother.
I have the same one and crazy part I did the same thing with my hydraulics. I was the one that we talked before about the grapple that I reinforced. We must think alike lol.
Nice 👍
Neat attachment BossMan!! I can see where this could be useful for sure
You could always rotate that ram around if you have long enough hydraulic hoses or tap and die som new Greece nipples on opposite side to save happening again or rotate ram and extend hoses if needed I suppose either way would do the job! Good to see you back looking forward to seeing new content after the new year 👍
Great video 🥰 Merry Christmas & Happy New year Everyone 🎄😊
Very same back to you and the young ones! I was really happy to see your *BIG GUY* drop a new video. Many of us just love that guy along with his great family. God bless!
Well done
That’s killer Deal and Work nice
Careful you don’t bite off more than you can chew. I’ve read about guys getting them wedged in hardwoods. Then you have to unhook and break out the chainsaw
Like I like to say run her the pole see how it flys nice fix to the expensive wire harnesses etc 👍👋👍

Good to see you back Mike it don’t look like it’s worth it at least to me
Think that the improvements you made will make it better
Get deal!
Just bought one today (auction). Great info!!
Watch my other videos on it
@@DIRT-BOSS just got my T's in yesterday. $25ea + shipping. Going to put it together hopefully today. Thanks for the info and GOD Bless!!
@@TheOutFitPropertyMaint. Wow my hydraulic shop $5 each
Can you flip the cylinder eye to move the grease fitting forward?
Made in Chiner?
From 100% Chinesium 👍🏻
Can i use that to trim the top of my hedges lol? Nice new toy!
Back on site with the boss! How is your back doing
Better
Glad to hear that
Is a 2000 (4000 lb tipping) skid steer large enough to handle this attachment?
Time for another mountain foundation? I loved watching you perform magic in precarious scenarios and in some cases defying all normal signals for self preservation 💪
Mike.....glad your doing well and it appears the back is feeling better. Can't wait for the new content but I gotta say buddy.....any content you put out is fantastic! Happy Holidays and Thank You Mark in Florida
Did you happen to do a video when you converted over to the T fittings?
czcams.com/video/IcQt-cX4nTo/video.html
@@DIRT-BOSSthis video is taken down, do you have another video showing the connections? Or even a diagram? Thanks
Hey mike just to be clear when connecting theae hoses do i connect tee chrome side top grapple hose with chrome side shear hose and same for black side ? Has to be right, if i tee both grapple together it will just fight each other? Help me out get this correct . Thank you
What was the T fitting that you used please?
Just a male tee 3/4
I bought one of these and the valve never worked, i ended up putting a different valve block on, it is done now but this would have been way easier
Yes that part of it does work flawless for me.. I've had some issues with it check out the newer video.. but also fix that in tonight's video..lol
@@DIRT-BOSS i will stay tuned, i probably spent more on new hoses and solenoid valves than i did on the attachment. This was a live and learn from it purchase for me
The 2 hydraulic couplers on the shear are larger than the hook up on my machine. Did you have to change yours? How hard is it to find a nipple to go from a metric to a standard??
Yes I changed mine
Hi, what type of Tee did you use? size, dimensions? did you order online? and where? I have been looking all over for them but no one carries British standard pipe fittings which is what my hoses are I believe. thanks
Yes they are British but someone left it in the comments you'll have to go through and find it
What size were the hydraulic
fittings?
Can't remember maybe 3/4
Thanks For the video. I’m literally in the same boat. Bought one at auction. Have the same skid and the wiring harness doesn’t match up to the kubota. My problem has been finding the correct Ts. I’m told they are a German style metric thread (Light DIN M22x1.5). Any advice on how you found your Ts?
@@MasonGarrett-hq5lx 3/4 British..Ill have another update video thats a must for reinforcement soon so stay tuned
I special ordered my Ts. They are Light DIN M22x1.5. If that helps anybody
Anyone have a link on where to buy those T’s
There was a guy in the comments that stated it
👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Surprised you haven't hung it up throwing in towel
Keep watching
Our bent and the arms broke with a hr of using it very disappointed
Yes you have to reinforce it I have other videos of showing how to bend that stuff back
What is that video called?
@@NS-vp6nq czcams.com/video/6zgRe5ANpg0/video.html
A lot of operator error.
Maybe you should run it for me
That is too slow you will be there years trying to clear
It's not made for production everyday
Can you rotate the top cylinder so the grease fittings are on other side?
