What I passed on was the result of a Google Search, and I apologize that it was bad information. It came up the AI overview box - should have been safe.

You might want to watch this Messick's video; it covers many of the trade-offs in design/functionality.

FWIW, when comparing loader lift capacity - you also have to take into account the range in which the loader functions. By range, I mean not only maximum lift height, but also the distance the load is carried away from (in front of) the tractor. Loaders with longer arms will not lift as much...

I second the severe duty brush cutter versus a mulcher head; both will require high flow. Drum mulcher heads will give a cleaner finish, but they: cost much more, run hotter (will require an additional cooling pack on the track loader), more of a learning curve and will require much more...

I have been wearing Reeboks with composite toe and metatarsal guards; they have held up well including abrasion from bramble briar clumps. They are also available in Wide, which I need. Price is $140 with free shipping...

I am sure there are more than several good brands; I have a Land Pride 60 inch. I would recommend getting a rear discharge design. If you ever cut grass that is high, you will not see the clippings the next day.

I purchased my tractor and implements/attachments/upgrades from them in 2021, and everything was great (the deal, the ease of purchase and later service). Although I had visited their dealership, I actually made the purchase by phone, a few emails and docusign. They are located near our north...

You might want to look at the WoodMaxx MX-8500G+ chipper - 5 inch capacity and made in America. https://woodmaxx.com/product/mx-8500g/ It does not have hydraulic feed, but that can be a plus (their blade angle and rolling anvil design pull material in without a pump, belts and adjustments)...

I have a Land Pride FSP500 spreader (holds 300 lbs.), and I can cover 2+ acres with fertilizer or insecticide granules with one fill. The spreader body is plastic with stainless steel works; my only regret is that its not Quick Hitch compatible (but I do not use it often).

I do not know all of the specifics of your land, but you may want to consider using fire in addition to your mulcher. You might be able to cut substantial fire breaks in your 20-40 acres, and then you could burn large sections - waiting for the perfect weather each time.

I use Cuddeback cameras (three of them) at our north Georgia property. They all use one cell plan for about $12 a month; two cameras send data via radio to one cell camera. You get alerts with low, but adequate, resolution photos; the cameras store high resolution images on SD cards. There...

Find this in stock at some reseller: https://locknlube.com/collections/greasing-accessories/products/quick-connect-grease-hose-adaptor It is what I use to lube the wheels on my finish mower. You just clamp on to it with your lock and lube.

Just something to think about - if moving brush is a major use, a root rake/ clam shell grapple allows you to gather more than the other designs. Since the clam shell opens wider, you can compress a brush pile to the ground from overhead, and then you can close on the compressed pile. It will...

RV Antifreeze will provide more freeze protection (-40) than wiper fluid for about the same cost, and it is not toxic.

No experience - but the company has a good reputation. https://www.artillian.com/product-category/rops-accessories/rops-mount-tool-bar-attachments/
