Gehl RT105 – DriftlessinWI

https://youtu.be/my4Sb0Uaimc

This took some effort, but looks easy with the magic of editing 🙂 I decided to just clear by hand because I was having so much trouble with the skidsteer since I am on a slope that is covered in snow and ice and has a lot of stumps. I used this opportunity to show a few of the methods I use to clear buckthorn when I am working by hand.

The bottom line is, if you have a machine, use it! Trying to cut buckthorn that has had 5-6 years to regrow off of stumps is a very challenging, and some may say “futile”, endeavor.

Opening up the build site is really giving us a good idea of how things will look from the house. Fingers crossed that all goes well with the permits and approvals. Thanks for watching!

A quick overview and demonstration of one of the world’s smallest compact track loaders (CTL), the Gehl RT105. I bought this skid steer because I can tow it behind my half ton RAM 1500, and because it goes where my Gehl RT210 can’t. Don’t let its small size fool you, it still has a tipping load of 3000lbs and weighs in at under 5000lbs. In this video I use it to feed the cows a large square bale (800 lbs) and then put on the 4 in 1 bucket from CID attachments to clean out the cow barn. Pretty nice little setup, but man is it noisy!

I will be doing a more thorough review of the machine in another video, this was just a quick video to show how it performs in the real world.
