I started this channel to show some of the day to day of running a small business and trying to manage life along the way. You will see the good, and the not so good of what I see every day. Come ride along and lets see what we can get into!
Double Ditching... Part 2! Finishing a tough project with the SV100 and Fecon FMX50 mulcher!
It's a shorter video than normal, but it was the wrap-up to a big project! I lost some video to a bad SD card, so unfortunately, there are some missing pieces to the puzzle. The end of the video has the done video and pictures that show the completed project though!

best world is when you can combine both pump flow with a priority valve
Minus an ac failure, I love my 135f
Takeuchi is the same way with the stick while running a brush cutter and walking the machine. Pain in the ass.
We have a property overlooking the Mississippi River. Reviewing this video and other Brad videos we hired him for our ongoing project west of Andalusia, IL. Highest recommendation, Brad is a true professional. He spends generous time with his clients to determine their wants and provides estimates that satisfy their goals. Of all in the business of land clearing and mulching he was clearly the best we found.

In the 40+ years of operating heavy equipment, I have sat in the seat of many brands, some now non existent (International/Dresser, Drott, Terex/Euclid Wabco, Poclain, Champion to name a few). I have also worked on some of the largest in the world - Cat 797 truck, Komatsu PC8000 shovel, Cat D11, Hitachi 5500 shovel. But if I was to go and purchase a small excavator it would be the Yanmar SV100 first choice, then probably Sany as second choice.
I've mainly ran Cat 299d3 Land Managements and had a Cat 289d3 as well as a Kubota SVL95-2 and an ASV RT-75 HD. I did test an ASV RT-120 and was impressed except for the tight cab and loudness in the cab, so we passed on it. I was dead set on a new RT-135 and then the VT-100 came out and I was planning on going with it for the price and weight savings. I was disappointed in the same max cab that our ASV RT-75 HD had with the split tub and low-resolution screen. I'm glad to see that they're dumping Cummins and going with their own Yanmar power plants. We ended up going with a Cat 265 which is somewhere between the 289d3 & 299d3 but the new cab size and upgrades are better than anything else on the market right this minute. Yes, it has much less horsepower, but it's stout for it's size. We're getting more dirt work and less mulching, so it works for us on our smaller projects right now. I'm excited to see what the upcoming Cat 285 or whatever they are calling it turns out to be.
Nice ditch cleanup. Is there a part 2 in the making? Were the beaver dams the cause of the standing water in the fields?
Yes, part 2 is coming... I just have to edit all the video lol. The beaver dams weren't why the fields were wet, unfortunately we had about 7-8 inches of rain around the time of this project. This is all low ground and this spring everything was completely saturated.
8:00 I can confirm the 100-7 doesn't have the stick speed issue when using continuous flow.
Have you had yours on a flow meter? I’m just wondering what it’s actually sending to the head in high.
I haven't, but that would be interesting to know.
Ok, there are a lot of parallels with my situation and yours. I ran a 135 for a week and had the same experience. The undercarriage is a deal breaker for me as I am also never on flat ground. There are only 2 other machines in existence that are worth considering. The bobcat T86 has just as much power both engine and hydraulic as the 135, even if the specs don’t say it, it’s dead stable, even with the 5 link torsion. But the big battle right now is with the air intake plugging up with debris and derating the machine, forcing me to power down the head and get out and clean the intake every 30min. Bobcat is working hard on a solution though, once that’s solved the T86 will be the best conventional skid steer for mulching out there. Now…..if Deere is your hometown brand and they take care of you just wait for the 335p, it’s got a dual pump system which is an industry first for a skid steer and on paper looks like it will be a BIG step up from the 333g. The only downside is that it’s completely new and unproven, and nobody wants to be a Guinea pig, but if you have that good of a relationship with Deere I’m sure they’ll handle anything you run into and keep you up and running. Cooling is the biggest issue for us here in the south and there are only 2 machines that can run a head in triple digit heat without cooking the fluid, they are the T86 and the 135. Last but not least I’m going to pull the trigger on an SV100-7 from my Vermeer dealer in the next few weeks. Super stoked about that!
Great video and explanation about the Fecon mulching setup. What other machines are you testing, and what are the plans for your current Deere 333G and mulching head?
My current 333g is pretty much new, it only has about 200 hours on it, but I'm looking at a couple dedicated machines in the 175 to 200 HP range. I may keep my 333g, but I'm also talking to my dealer about spending some time in the 335p that is coming to market.
Cant wait for the review on the the 335p, im in a 2022 333g myself has only few things I don’t like , been looking at the 135 ever since they came out , ran one as a demo also the track set up is a deal breaker for me i just dont think it will hold up like a cat or deere undercarriage would like to talk to you more in the future
Great vid I’m currently looking for a machine to get started with have been looking at Takeuchi tl8 or tl12, deere 325g, kubota 97-2 or an asv 75 but from the sounds of it the asv might not be the best choice. If you get a chance take a look at the lamtrac 6160 it’s an absolute beast and not much bigger then a asv135 with 6000psi and 155hp Cummins motor and three hydraulic pumps
I will say I've been very happy with Deere as an overall machine, but I also live in the heart of Deere country where dealer and warehouse support is unmatched. Not sure what you're looking at getting into, but I will say if you're planning on doing any kind of mulching more than about 40-50% of your business... Your going to want the biggest machine you can possibly get no matter what brand. I've seen a lot of people go the economical route of smaller machine and HP, or standard flow and it just doesn't work for a true business model. Truth be told a 100- 130hp machine still leaves a lot to be desired. If you're going to jump into a tough market from the start, don't cut corners on your abilities and set yourself up for problems. If you're going into the mulching world you're going to need as much HP and cash flow as you can get just to get through.
@@bmulching cheers for the reply the mulching market where I am is limited to about 3-4 businesses in the whole state and I’d be looking at running a diamond mowers slasher to start and deal with ferns and blackberry bushes and saplings and depending on how things go I’d branch out to munchers
Lamtrac 6160 is a beast ran one when the row guys working for the utilities,onny thing i dont like is the machime is 3500 heavier that a deere or cat but with the same track size making it not as giid as one would like it softer ground, but very fast and powerful especially if you delete it to 200hp little rocky on the front end cause of the shorter track longer Machine
@cleetusM I know how to open up that pond and airport!! Lol
Bad mic.! 😢
Interesting job. 🙂 Brad
This is the type of job I want to work by my self
That’s pretty cool
Speed up the video. It's like watching paint dry
The microphone audio was flawless. Great addition to your setup.
Excellent audio with the new microphones. I have watched all of your videos. Like your work and your involvement with your daughter in the business. We live in the vicinity near Andalusia, IL. We have work and will be in contact for an estimate in the future, no hurry. Keep on keeping on! Warm Regards, Hines Farm Monte & Hines
Have a Yanmar VIO 55 and been problem free for 967 hours. Considering this machine now
I've been very happy with it
What’re you toting this machine around with? Pickup or heavy duty?
It weighs about 24k lbs. I wouldn't pull it behind a pickup. I've got a semi and a 20 ton tag trailer with air brakes.
I have one as well. I don’t have the added weight of the mulcher. But I have to pull it behind my dump truck. Just looking at other options to haul it.
Heard a guy talking about hauling it behind an F750 with air brakes is why I asked.
That would work and handle the weight well, but would struggle with speed and hills. It's a similar setup to what I have. Tows well and stable, good brakes, but underpowered. The biggest advantage is I can get my setup pretty much anywhere I can get a pickup and bumper pull trailer. You're just not getting there fast, lol!
Looks great! Appreciate the "easy" approach to mulching. No loud noises - just super work.
Thanks 👍
Where are you located?
We're based out of Geneseo Illinois
Sounds like it'd be worth wiring in continuous switch into the momentary switch circuit. Holding the momentary switch for a few hundred hours doesn't sound like a great time!
It has the continuous switch from the factory, but when you lock in continuous flow the stick movement slows down drastically.
Right, I'm saying figure out how to wire in a constant switch into the momentary circuit to prevent having to hold it the entire time. Since it's an electrical over hydraulic issue, I wonder if it's an adjustable parameter by the dealer?@@bmulching
Wiring in a different switch won't change it. The factory switch works fine, I show it in the video. The issue isn't electric over hydraulic, it's hydraulic demand. When the system is maxed out while in continuous flow the stick movement is impacted the most.
Apparently I'm doing a bad job of explaining... picture something that practically/figuratively held the momentary switch at whatever level you deem appropriate, but doesn't require you to physically hold the button after it's set. Like a rotary knob that worked the momentary functionality, but didn't require holding like the momentary slider/button. @@bmulching
I was just today looking at the new version which they are callling the SV100-7, I need to find out tomorrow exactly what changed with the hydraulics. I'll be running a prinoth head. I think it's the perfect machine for me dimensionally and proportionally and of course the reliability. I'll check back once I go over the hydraulic specs and what changed.
I heard the biggest changes are in the cab, which is a plus. Even if the hydraulic setup is the same I'm still happy with the machine overall.
@@bmulching big changes to the hydraulics, they went to a 2 pump system with far more powerful flow, it’s now a load sensing system also, the key number is while running the mulching head in high flow it left roughly 24% for the stick functions, now it leaves roughly 82% for stick function, more than triple the previous system. Overall GPM went up to 36 and pressure up over 4000psi. This is coming from a yanmar corporate rep.
Hey Brad, sorry to hear about all the equipment breakdowns, but you mentioned a fire in your machine. Maybe you could make a video on the process of replacing/repairing the machine and share your wisdom with us viewers.
There's definitely videos coming on the replacement for the burnt machine, and I'm considering starting to film more of the day to day business stuff and not just the project highlights, but I'm not sure anyone wants to listen to me rambling lol
Thanks for the reply. Definitely more content from you is a great idea! I’m rewatching some of your older videos and realizing how good your content is. Especially the outside cab-mounted view when mulching with the track loader.
Did you run the kabota before you bought this machine? If so what’s your opinion
The biggest machine Kubota offers is the 80. It wasn't one I considered, I didn't want an 8 ton machine for what I need.
Very job you the(BOSS) did congrats! Plz keep teaching her that everyone’s future! God bless you and your family!
I've been blessed for sure!
Not as good as some machines i have scene here. Seems dull. 😮
Luckily, there are a lot of channels available. Hopefully, you enjoy one of those.
wow your daughter gonna take your jobs one day sir, so young already skilled operated those machine
I wasn't expecting her to do so well, but she ended up running it for close to 3 days. Pretty proud of her!
Do you think the SV100 is to big to feed a chipper in the woods? Seems to big to get into back yards, and close in projects. Just would like your opinion. Thanks!
That's exactly why I picked this machine. It will still fit through an 8 foot gate but has 75hp. Most of the 80/85 machines are just slightly smaller in footprint but are about 20hp less. Running the mulcher that 20hp is huge. I'm extremely happy with the machine and its capabilities both in size and power.
@b_mulching You think it would maneuverable enough to feed logs into a chipper in the woods? Thinking of putting a 360 degree grapple on it to aid in feeding. Also loading logs into a dump trailer. I've had people who do what I do tell me not to go over a 16k machine. But they all have 12 k machines. I just don't want to regret my decision. Thanks for your insight! Don
Good video, I enjoyed it. Great to see that you are teaching your girl that hard work pays off.
Thank you!
What is the brand name on your mulcher? Nice content! New subscriber!
Fecon, this is the FMX50
Compliments for your teaching and the effort she has at this age! I'ff been seeing a lot of Videos of mulching with an excavator and they at do stalling the rotor at some point, she did not! I love the way she is handling this difficould job . Even more impressive at her age! Keep doiing what you believe is good for all of your family. I loved it. Greetings from a Dutch guy who lives in Italy..
Thank you! She loves it as much as I do, and it was awesome to see her do so well running it for the first time ever!
That’s awesome, Brad. You are a good dad to teach your daughter valuable life lessons and skills she will need. I’m glad you posted this video.
Thank you! It helps that she loves this stuff as much as I do!
Wow she did awesome way to go.😮
I was really impressed that she did so well!
Memories, she will have for life. Way to go dad.
I'm glad I got it on video. It's a great memory for me too!
How much did the yanmar set you back?$
For suggestions, try to use camera from different angles (left or right side) to make it more interesting to view just like other channels..Not just from your front mulcher...
I appreciate that. The hard part is finding a place for the camera that it won't get pulled off the machine. That view is from the camera on the inside of the boom, it's about the only real safe spot for it except inside the cab, and no one wants to listen to me the whole video lol
Nice work. I love my CAT 305 with a Fecon FMX36 with Carbides. I try to swing right into unknown material or areas to avoid the mulcher running over foreign materials and jump skipping over possibly causing more damage. Keep up the awesome work. Aloha.
Great job buddy 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great video! pure carnage just what we look for in a mulching video.
I do my best lol
Excellent job, especially close to the trees. I agree with you regarding the dirt piles near the creek/ditch. Hopefully they can have you back to regrade that area. I like placement of the camera on the cab near the mulching action.
Thank you! I've wanted to try some different camera angles... but I'm trying to avoid mulching a GoPro in the process!
I have seen that same head Ron on a Kubota 57 and it did fine, you should have no issues. Maybe get the rotation coupler, that would be sweet
I've seen a lot of 57 size machines running the fmx36, I think the fmx50 would be a lot for that size machine. That's why I was very particular about the setup I wanted.
