    Get you a piece of Lexan to make you a shield to mount on your roll over bar. That way you can still see but will be protected, because it will eventually through something at you one day.

    Great video DP, I own the same cutter. It's mounted on the front of our John Deere 8rx. It's in Alpena Michigan and we also run a large snow blower on the front of the same tractor. Carbide teeth, instead of shredding, sharp teeth make chips. Just run a grinder over your teeth. The only other advice is use a pole saw and your CAT Excavator to put your put your trees in windrows. That wouldn't make it quicker for you instead of driving around trees you just go up and down each windrow. Check this attachment off your bucket list lol

    When you find a lock pin that stays in let us all know, I've lost more of them than you can shake a stick at. Bigger seems to be better until they get bent. They are a pain to keep in the brush hog, now we use 1/4" bolts and lock nuts. They're a pain also.

    @rongeci4092 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is what we used to clear fire breaks and trail work was one for a skid steer, I don’t remember who made it but we called it the land tamer, the teeth on the drum were like stingers on a road grader. The good part was the work was in front of you and it was easier to chop up the bigger stuff. The neat thing with it being on a skid steer was it would chew brush like crazy and you could use it to grind stumps, and grind rocks within reason, the draw back was sometimes it would spit stuff at you depending how the drum was positioned. Great job and video.

    Imagine how good the mulcher will work if you put it on a tractor that is rated for it. 100 to 150 horsepower tractor would really get the drum spinning and chop stuff up better. I think you made a good buy on the mulcher. I see the purchase of a better tractor in the future now. Great video.

    get a 75 hp 4 wheel drive tractor with the pto and a 3 point on the front. Then you can drive forwards and munch the brush down, the mulching afterwards is backing out.

He mentioned in another video is was, $4,300 shipped with an extra set of blades

    Suggestions, see if you can find half tracks, they should give better traction in wet ground. Going forward it seems to work much the same as a rototiller; close the 'gate / flap' it should leave finer clippings behind. Cut high four to six inches going backwards followed by going forward very close to the ground should leave the area ready for grass seed or planting small trees and shrubs. Glad to see that you are having fun with your new "toy".

  • @rons3103
    @rons3103 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Mike, It works pretty decent compared to Skidsteer one. Saw Goodquad TH-cam boys use the Kubota mulcher (Required bullet proof glass) and it ate through trees and stumps like butter (superfast). Just about everything you mentioned was spot on in your comparison. Might have been a little easier and faster with Skidsteer, but the job is done! BTW, you can't blame TMBTS, he did what you ask (there is video proof)!. And Captain already explained on his channel how the first air compression broke, and he replaced it (Great story)!

  • @maxium4x4

    For 75hp it did the job, as for flat tires, if you get into Honey Locust that is when the trouble starts. Leave the chamber open while backing up to broadcast, close it when driving forward as you found out to mulch. The attachments and high flow heads are ok, the dedicated Fecon machines FTX are beasts but come with the price to match.....😁

  • @rickster9993
    @rickster9993 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thing the brush cutters mounted on Hi-flow skid steers works faster. The best way I've seen them used is with an excavator removing the trees roots and all limb the log out if desired and use the mulcher to chip up the limbs. As much as I like a good brush pile fire I like see the plant return to the earth as compost.

    From the looks of it, that would be about perfect for doing some stump grinding as well. When you used it to take down the tree towards the end I was thinking it would _probably_ take down just about any size tree you wanted to back up into, you'd just have to sort of work your way into it a little at a time.
