Machine for soft ground

Recommended Posts

Not sure where to put this so apologies if in wrong place. 
We are currently running a quad and flail mower for rashes, grass, heather cutting. 
several properties are asking about softer ground.  
now the quad is good and goes where tractors can’t.  
but wondering is there anything a bit bigger that is still got a large footprint, light weight but could say run a 1.6-1.8m flail/mulcher. 
thinking alpine on wide tyres or is there a tracked machine.  
any suggestions.

There's also robocut and similar and you can get wide push flails with spiked metal tyres - I've seen a demo on bracken that was impressive but I can remember the make at the moment.

 

Edit: This sort of thing

Depends wot u want to spend and wether u want a pro driven flail or just use ur quad flail.

 

Obviously a 6x6 quad or UTV, still fairly versatile for other jobs.

An Argo 8x8 is a great piece of kit can even put tracks on them and will really go on very soft ground. Low clearance thou for ruts and stumps

Not that dear to buy 2nd hand, easy to buy a pig thou, but xpensive to maintain.

Ackward load space and really can't abuse them that much with loads as no structural body work or chasis apart from on floor

I also never like driving them that much and they scare the hell out f me on really steep ground as ur brakes are also ur steering f u wear them out, not good. But mibbee worrying about nothing as see more experienced boys run them n steep ground

 

Done a bit with soft tracks, really good bit of kit with front and back pto and hydraulics, bloody expensive thou.

 

Will really depend wot else u want to do with it and how deep ur pockets are, 1 trick pony or something that can do lots of things

Yanmar do tracked machines the AC-16, AC-18 etc and i think Iseki do one, should be able to run that size flail and they're operated with steering wheel so easy to drive, there is a couple of places that have second hand ones at good money maybe try googling or ebay etc?
