Mine should be here in the next week or so. Ready to tear some stuff up!
Gotta get it all plumbed and make the mounting bracket so it will take a couple days once it is here. Anyone ever have there aux circuit fine tuned?

Here is something I noticed with my Rockhound. The dealer had reset my relief on my aux. circuit so that the bucket could over power the thumb, a needed setting so you don't snap the ram on the thumb while curling the bucket while grabbing things. However my TK and attachment can run well over that setting making the mower attachment more effective by running at a higher psi. They are putting a relief on the thumb itself so that I can turn up the psi at the aux. circuit for max available performance. I assume you have a thumb, might be something to be aware of.

I had too turn the aux pressure up as well. I did not think about the relief on the thumb. That is a great idea. I was worried that it might be an issue.

How does the Rockhound perform?

Its alright. I am hoping when the psi is turned up it will work even better. I got some video of it, but I waiting to get the psi turned up and see if it performs better.

I think the Torrent would have been a better tool for the material I want to cut, I just wasn't sure that I would have enough work to justify the money (and still don't). I am waiting until I have this set up running at an optimum level before I start going after the work. It is fairly productive now but I think it can do better with an increase in psi.

The Flail mowers are much better in grass, small brush etc, the Torrent is better in trees and thicker vegatation.
