@@realPinkfong not sure on this model we got a different one now as motors 65

@@kevinulmer9409 I really can’t remember now, it’s a good few years old

Thank you Andrew 👊

Hi Brian got a walk behind scag 52” but could not cope with this on highest setting. Need to invest in a out front flail when funds allow

@@cgpmOh, OK. Thought they would cope with that, obviously not. Yes, outfront flails are expensive but great if you have the work to cover the costs.👍

@@brianconnor1810 yeah we took the scag on this same job and area was wet and the scag would of not got through that length. I had to put it on highest setting to do some of it and was way shorter than area on the video. I’ve hired in trimax out front flails before and would look at that as a next investment

I would like to rent one

They were available at my local Home Depot for rent.

@@curtismccray74 we’re in Cambridgeshire uk

Hi this was from www.bucketwarehouse.com/hardlife---15-8-ton-manual-mechanical-excavator-grapple-38-p.asp

@@cgpm thanks mate

Thank you Andrew 🙏

It’s good in really rough and overgrown stuff as previous videos, but thought would give it a try today on some really thick and working wet long grass. Thankfully was only cut and drop but did not struggle at all

Thank you 🙏

No worries 👍

Never had any problems with the hose

Most small machines struggle to track and flail unless your running of a separate hydraulics.

@@cgpm my 3.9 does, bloody nuisance as want cut straight line, so i gone back to tractor mounted

@@mattred1200 yeah I’ve heard the same on even bigger machines. I was thinking of making a mod of a hydraulic pack

I’ve ordered the as65 now. Had this on demo. Very impressive aren’t they

There great aren’t they. I could do with a bigger strimmer really for it

Got to do stuff by hand too or I’ll get lazy otherwise 😆

Hi, we run hammer blades. Not used it for a good few months as had repair work to do on the excavator. But still going strong.

Repairs to digger -- I'm with you there!! I have a Takeuchi and find the dealers to be crap. Ordered an engine oil drain pipe from Heads Motor Japan for £30 inc. shipping! The only place I could get it here was Germany, and they charged more than that without shipping. If you could be bothered to record your repairs I'm sure people would appreciate it, but I imagine that would be too much faff. For an outlay of £3k ? for the flail there is very little out there by way of advice, etc. Half dozen dubious testimonials at best. How did you chose that flail and why the hammers cos I thought they were for thick stuff not brambles etc.? Thanks for reply and vids.

@@johncollins8304 no a repair in the excavator not the flail

Hi is a Robustrack flail. We have hammer blades on it.

Thanks Andrew 👍

Bag it up then sent for biomass

Does the job for the majority of our stuff 👍

It’s not too bad, you can fold it in

@@cgpm i am thinking of buying one of these machines, after your experience of it , would you recommend it?

@@paulraymondstamp4111 Hi Paul. I would recommend it. I’ve had this one since around May 2020. For the price it’s been a good machine and surprising what it can cope with. It’s easier now we have a larger van as the chipper can go in the van. With the smaller vivaro vans I had to remove the chutes to get it in the van or leave it in one of the trailers. If your near Cambridgeshire always welcome to have a look out ours in use and give it a go before deciding to purchase.

I had a Timberwolf 13/75 and sold it because of moving it was a nightmare on uneven ground so bought a 6.5hp Cobra great little chipper like this one but you finnish up working it to hard . bought a Titon Beaver 15hp on tracks so self propelled and 15hp is a good size , the throat size is very important on these self feed machines other wise like the video you will soon get fed up ramming it in .

@@leslienaylor4935 I have hired a Timberwolf 13/75 before but did not get on with it, might be the blades were not that sharp being a hire machine. I’ve seen a few different brands of the tracked chippers about and they look pretty good.

They are a good little chipper for the price 👍

Hi Andrew, for the money I’ve really pleased with it. Has got through some stuff!! Had this one since around 2020 I think.

Debris in one hydraulic line

Thank you Andrew. There a good machine and surprising what they can get through.

Hi Andrew, we do both. Some jobs/contracts we have direct and some via sub contract.

It’s nice when it’s cold and raining but does get to warm once hydraulics have warmed up

@@cgpm Yeah, it would be nice on a cold, windy, and rainy day. Mine gets warm as well with a homemade cab. I've thought about installing a window air conditioner powered by an inverter generator.

@@Lanninglongarmmowing have you seen the digger lid product for removable canopies for excavators? www.earthmoversmagazine.co.uk/news/view,digger-lid-have-it-covered_4414.htm

More to come next year

@@cgpm I think I have a few more to post but winter is here now as it is for you too I'm guessing.

@@Lanninglongarmmowing yeah not doing much mowing at all due to winter here. Got a few jobs in the new year to do with the flail attachment

Thank you 🙏

Hi, it’s been a useful bit of kit

Varies depending if it’s soft/hardwood and how much foliage. We have out stuff through up to around 85 - 100mm diameter

Thank you for your comments

Hi Brian, get a fair bit but saves a lot of manual labour 👍

Tracks fixed on this machine

It does - especially longer thicker stuff. Coming down on top then slewing and chipping it up finer. Like you say - quick blow of the mulch into hedgerow to decompose and that’s it. Saves a lot of manual labour and waste away.

Your be pleased with it and what it can do 👍

Like the hi viz, easier to spot who’s slacking, hiding and on their phones 😅

Rock Machinery

Yes, first go with it really be interested to see what it can do on other stuff

@@cgpm you can be pretty aggressive with flail cutters, youll be amazed as time goes on what your doing with them👍🌲

Thank you - was a challenging dig out on this one

@@cgpm Looks like a good size fence. What’s the linear feet

@@garrettwalker1462 I think it’s around 42m in length around and down the drive

@@cgpm Awesome. I’m actually building a fence as we speak. It’s what I do for a living and I started here recently to make videos on how to do certain things. Hoping I can get some subscribers. I’m subscribing to you right now

@@garrettwalker1462 that’s good, I’ve not put up much videos for a while as been too busy and short staffed. We also specialise in domestic fence installs but do lots of other stuff too. How you finding the material situation at moment? We still struggling obtaining some stuff or still having to wait quite a while for complete materials to be able to complete jobs. Thanks for subscribing too 👍

There a good machine for the price
