A helluva video, my friend. I sympathize with you on a job like that. Gotta love the know-it-all critics. Yeah, walk through first and mark the boundaries. Right. As you say, anyone dumb enough to attempt that will be inundated with ticks, snakes and whatever lives there. Not to mention the very real possibility of breaking your leg tripping over a log or stump or falling into that hole you found. Your helmet cam wasn’t nearly as bad as some critics maintained. And never lose the commentary. It helped me understand the task at hand and gave me some great insights into you as a person, I.e., your military service. If anyone doesn’t like the commentary - well, that’s what the mute button is for, although I’d hate to be stuck talking with anyone who prefers watching a 40 minute video on brush hogging without commentary. Just keep up the good work. You’re doing fine and you’ve made me fan.
I just love a piece of kit, designed to do one job and does it exceedingly well. You make hard work look easy. As my old dad used to say, "don't use that screwdriver like a chisel, each to its own".
How satisfying was watching this, right?! Just Awesome! That yard looked like a set from apocalypse now! No challenge for that machine though... Thanks for taking us along, 👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy!
IDigIt4 Thanks for your service brother. I’m retired army, 27 years between 79-19 and I’ve also been to Drum😉 back in the squad bay barracks days of the 80’s but I’m sure that mud hasn’t changed much lol. Stay safe!
When you have the camera inside, it gives us a very narrow view. By having it outside, we get a better scope of the enormity of the job, and we get to see how you work your machine, and see the reasoning behind your moves.
If you want to stop the bouncing around the head causes then I suggest putting a wheel assembly on both sides, in the front of the attachment. Another TH-cam'er did it and it increased his productivity three fold.
@@sammiskie1127 Yes, It's been great so far. MTL prices are a lot less than their competitors. I don't see any difference in quality. I bought a grapple as well and it's been fine too.
Thanks for your service! You should walk the property first noting any stumps or transmissions or anvils lying about. Or wells opening up! Falling into an old dug well would ruin your day.
Walking the property is a good idea but in some instances like this it doesn't do much good. The property is so overgrown that you cant even walk into some of the area and if you could the ground is so covered you cant see what's beneath your feet. You just have to do the job and hope for the best.
IDigIt4 NO! You don’t take a 100,000 dollar machine and hope for the best. You put boots on and jeans on and get a stick and go poke the ground, whack bushes, whack high spots until you are sure it’s clear. Then you will still hit stuff!! I done that and never wrecked a unit!
Having a closed cab is great, especially since there must be lots of wasps and hornets, in the ground and that old shed! I've been stung a few times, using a brush hog and open tractor. And what a freakin' jungle you had to deal with!
Thanks for the vid I was going to purchase a similar product but with your vid I will now be getting one of the malchers from Cat I think it will work better
Interesting perspective. Makes me appreciate how much the brain sorts out all the data and produces a smooth finish which we most enjoy. Thanks so much but I would stick to firm camera mount position in future.
That's a brush cutter. A stump isn't going to harm it. We use them for shoulder mowing and we mow limbs and small trees with ours. The company actually says it's good for them.
Just had a guy do 2 acres using a rotary drum mulcher. Thing was a beast. He found a steel rim, or I should say the remains of one after he hit it. Didn't hurt the mulcher at all.
Interesting watching your video & listening to your talk. I'm setting myself up and I'm looking to match a 48" Diamond Disc Mulcher with a 7-10" brush cutter. Cheaper than a drum and also able to fell trees for the wood as I have cedar rail fencing to make on a 140 acre property. I'll check out some more of your videos, thank you.
I have a drum 1 that I am leasing & yes it’s used but works great! Can’t tell it’s used $650 month. Also I have a JD skid steer both tracked & non tracked models. Along with a JD backhoe & a cat backhoe both with mulch. I semper fi
Is it just me or does it seem like he’s scared to run that machine? I understand he doesn’t wanna tare up something in that yard. I would run down the fence line so I would have known where is was.🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Up state brush control would have made this nice and clean. Very disappointed in this video! He spend a good min at the beginning like there’s gonna be a Major after vs the before. I definitely wouldn’t have hired this guy for my jobs.
My friend invested 100,000 thousand in one like that ,it was broke down constantly ,a rock ,wire, post,6inch sapling,he finally got rid of it.got behind on his payments,iv Ben in the buzz all my life the best mouse trap is still a good Dozer and operator😁
Mount a GoPro on the tractor. inside the cab if you want to narrate. The head turning movement is a little dizzying. And how about a forestry mulcher attachment then you can mow right through those stumps and even the logs.
@Hatchet Harry , I don’t blame him for being cautious , for all he knows there might be bits of metal or concrete on the ground . No point in charging in and breaking his equipment .
Dang!!! For a small lot, it was sure full of nasty pitfalls that could have damaged your equipment! Bad thing was you couldn't have walked it for safety if you had wanted to. I'd have charged extra just for the wear and tear on my XCT7. Yea, maybe not such a good idea to wear your camera on your head. I think I started getting motion sickness somewhere along the filming. LOL Good job for such a bad arse yard.
Ya had any problems with your brush cutter eating up wire ? The bolts stick out under pump and the threads grab wire before ya know it and cannot get out why they assemble them with the bolt threads on the bottom I don’t get it ! I had to use a torch to get the last batch of wore out
No I've been very lucky about not running into wire. The new flywheel I got for this cutter has wire protection studs on the top of the flywheel that keeps wire from getting wrapped around the shaft. Thanks for watching Chris!
I think doing a site walk would have been very beneficial. Could have marked the stumps etc. And, I agree with the others, use a mounted cam as opposed to the head cam. I can’t believe you thought it was Okay to publish the video. Although, as thick as this brush was, it would be pretty hard to walk the area.
Bryan Lacount what are you talking about? I agree with others about a mounted cam would be steadier than the head cam. Who in the hell said anything about rules? You missed commenting to all the others about using the head cam. Chill out dude.
wow i couldnt watch it,,,,soo much camera movement made me dizzy,,,,looks like the camera was mounted on your head somehow,,,,,,woulda been much better to have fixed position for camera. Did you bother to review this video before posting??? Surely you woulda gotten dizzy also
Yeah this was my second experience with the headcam. I've only used it one other time since and now I mainly mount the GoPro on the arm of the loader or my tri-pod.
I know this vid is a bit old but just found your channel and started binge watching. Love the content so far. One thing is this was a vid I was unable to watch, the head cam and the constant changing of focus makes it impossible to watch for those of us that suffer from motion sickness. I had to quit 2 minutes in or I would have been blowing chunks. Not a complaint or anything, just wanted to let you know of possible consequences for some of your viewers.
Yeah this was one of my earlier vids and I was experimenting with the head cam. It didn't go well, that's why I haven't used it much since but I appreciate the feedback!
I would say a reinforced concrete pipe that was half buried in the ground and hidden by vines and overgrowth. But I got out right after I hit it and inspected the blades and they were fine. It just sounded bad.
I liked your video, but you really need to get a suction cup mount, or a magnetic mount for your camera so it’s not moving around so much. Good job of mowing.
I once worked alongside an Australian Army Intelligence Officer, (whilst I was an Officer of the Crown, employed by the Parliament and the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, attached to the Australian Department of Defence, embedded in the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army) and He had some Business Cards printed. When they arrived I noticed that they read “Intelligent Officer”. Apparently his Proof Reading Skills were somewhat lacking. Had to have the 5,000 Cards reprinted.
P.S. You used what you had to do a da@m tough job. Initially going into this job I would bet you bid on it based on it's outward appearance, (since you couldn't possibly have foreseen the blasted tree trunks/stumps, and brush pile you were going to run into). Easy for us armchair viewers to voice our should haves', would haves' and could haves'. Keep on truckin! :~) Personally, I would have looked at the before and said..."OK, small yard, overgrown, and easy to knock down". Whoda thunk?
Is this an abandoned property that the city asked you to come chop chop that yard? I’d hate to think anyone owned it or still lived there. What a mess that joint is. It’s a haven for vermin and insects.
What a horrid, horrid place!! 🥴 Backyard, more like a swamp or forest. Wish we could have seen you weed wack. Thank you for a hair raising video! Oof! 🌹
According to the specs I pulled off of Cat's website the 259D weighs roughly 8900 lbs and has a tipping load of 5800 lbs. I think you would be fine with the 72", though it may rock a bit if you have it up in the air bit over rocky terrain. But I don't think you'll be tipping over. I couldn't find the weight of the 72" but if you call MTL I'm sure they have it and with that you could call a local Cat dealer and ask them what they think is recommended. Make sure you have a forestry door on your loader to protect you when cutting! If you don't, you can get a great 1/2" Lexan door from skidsteersolutions.com for way cheaper than most dealerships. That's what I have and its great. Thanks!

Thank you Cyndi! Tell your son I said good luck and godspeed!
I started watching this 3-4 months ag. Just finished. You certainly have a lot of patience to finish a job like this. Well done.
Thanks!
If you want to stop the bouncing around the head causes then I suggest putting a wheel assembly on both sides, in the front of the attachment. Another TH-cam'er did it and it increased his productivity three fold.
I have essentially the same cutter as you do. Works great. The hidden stumps are almost as much fun as hidden twisted metal t-posts.
haha for sure!
Would you buy this mower again? I'm looking to get one , my machine is at 22gpm.
@@sammiskie1127 Yes, It's been great so far. MTL prices are a lot less than their competitors. I don't see any difference in quality. I bought a grapple as well and it's been fine too.
Awesome..thanks. Im getting the grapple as well.Enjoy!
@@sammiskie1127 yes I would, for the price you really cant beat the productivity. I made my money back for this cutter on one project almost.

you would walk right by a stump and not know it
IDigIt4 NO! You don’t take a 100,000 dollar machine and hope for the best.
You put boots on and jeans on and get a stick and go poke the ground, whack bushes, whack high spots until you are sure it’s clear. Then you will still hit stuff!!
I done that and never wrecked a unit!
The only difference between men and boys is the price (and size) of their toys! Damn thing kicks ass !
16:41 you took the words right out of my mouth" drum multure" For Me that is the ultimate piece of equipment for clearing land.
Having a closed cab is great, especially since there must be lots of wasps and hornets, in the ground and that old shed! I've been stung a few times, using a brush hog and open tractor. And what a freakin' jungle you had to deal with!

I believe you need to park the camera on something facing forwards tho my friend. Shakes about a bit too much on your Noggin i'd say. My opinion....
You know what they say about opinions?????

It takes real talent to run this machine. Awesome.
Its easier than it looks LOL! But thanks Connie!
Thank you for your service, good job.

I think you could have done more here in this yard grinding down those logs should have been easy for you and the smaller stumps.
Thank you for your service!
Just had a guy do 2 acres using a rotary drum mulcher. Thing was a beast. He found a steel rim, or I should say the remains of one after he hit it. Didn't hurt the mulcher at all.

Would like to hear the machine working and a lot less talking to yourself. Just saying
Diorama artist You could just mute the video, personally i prefer to hear the thoughts of the TH-camr.
Just Wayne Agreed.
I don't know why but watching your hogg eat up brush relaxes me
Glad you enjoy it! Check out the channel I have tons more vids of this same type of stuff with this cutter!
Great work. I want one of these. With a drum mulcher though.
Drum mulchers are nice no doubt! I'd like to have one too eventually.
Stumps and such not bad. Find a metal post/ pipe or appliance could be something else
LOL for sure
Nothing like making everyone sick with your. HEAD CAM. bobbin around
Mount a GoPro on the tractor. inside the cab if you want to narrate. The head turning movement is a little dizzying.
And how about a forestry mulcher attachment then you can mow right through those stumps and even the logs.
Watch out for big snakes that might be hidden in the bushes
That's pretty sad you have to use that on a back yard
Oh my gosh I can’t imagine a yard getting that bad good luck cutting it
Thanks!
After the Last Hurricane Ft. Polk was all most wiped off the Face of the Map !!!
all the "tricky little stumps" should be no problem for that mega-mower. don't play it up like its all difficult
agreed, you can take down a 6 inch tree with it, I've taken some full grown trees down, cleared acres of wooded lots with useless trees growing.
@Hatchet Harry , I don’t blame him for being cautious , for all he knows there might be bits of metal or concrete on the ground . No point in charging in and breaking his equipment .
Nicely done. No, GREAT JOB.

Question, what would you reccomend for a riding mower. We have a craftsman. I don't like it for it doesn't cut in reverse, no wheels on the deck mower
My John Deere Z930M is one hell of a mower. I highly recommend it. I have several vids using it so check them out.

Oh there is another stump! Gosh there are a lot of stumps in here! Yep!

I can clear that up with my DR, But I need the darn brush cutter for my property. 👍😐👍
head cam video was wonderfull
The diamond mulcher is made by Denis cmaf it's a good unit
2:03 2:06 You turned something "Off / On" there.. It may have broken something or is just me wondering why you toggled the button?
Just a wild guess but probably just an Anti-tank jet thrust unit.
@@bighammer587 Oh okey ..well yes maybe he did. Thanks.
Can you possibly keep your head still and focus on what you are doing? Left, right, up, down, left, right non-stop. Highly repetitive, too.
I think he has to keep his head moving like that too stay focused on the task at hand!
I have never read so many wanna be comments from know fuck all’s, operator is covering all basis, can operate my machine any day! Good Onya ol mate!!
Don’t know price difference or other stuff,seen disk mulches would work? Where are you located?
i'd be more concerned with that fallen tree that was cut. Did you leave it like that?
Yes I did, the owner was going to take care of it himself.
P.S. You used what you had to do a da@m tough job. Initially going into this job I would bet you bid on it based on it's outward appearance, (since you couldn't possibly have foreseen the blasted tree trunks/stumps, and brush pile you were going to run into). Easy for us armchair viewers to voice our should haves', would haves' and could haves'. Keep on truckin! :~) Personally, I would have looked at the before and said..."OK, small yard, overgrown, and easy to knock down". Whoda thunk?
For something in this condition, I hope you got at least $4000.
Great video
How much you charge by the hour or job
Is this an abandoned property that the city asked you to come chop chop that yard? I’d hate to think anyone owned it or still lived there. What a mess that joint is. It’s a haven for vermin and insects.
What happens when you run over an old rake or shovel?
Hope you got a LOT of money for this job!
LOL not really! This was when I was first starting out and desperate for work LOL! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Good gravy, how big IS that place??
Do you charge by hour or bid? Do you separate charges for hauling, mower blades, and mower?
Typically for mowing/brush cutting I charge by the hour and that amount depends on the size and density of what I am cutting.
What a horrid, horrid place!! 🥴 Backyard, more like a swamp or forest. Wish we could have seen you weed wack. Thank you for a hair raising video! Oof! 🌹
