Great to work with you guys again, we got SSssooooo much done. All I meant when I said we've been trying to get you down here for so long was that everything has been challenging for many months, especially on our end. You folks are awesome, and very generous. Thank you again!
Tim, there are several companies in the central KY area that run skid loaders and forestry mulchers. How do you compete against these types of outfits? $11,000 is a significant investment for a tractor mulcher if you don't have a lot of personal use for one. I'd really like to see you discuss this in a video. Thanks and great job as always!
That will be a beautiful area with the plans they have for it, for generations to come. The Brush Mulcher is just the ticket for clearing the nuisance trees and vegetation. You folks did a great job in short order. Blessings to all.
When you where talking about your neck I got to thinking you guys should install a front pto and 3 pt. On 1 of your tractors that would be a project that people would really be interested in. I dont know if a kit is available for anything you have but it would be a cool project
Another great video showing "people helping people"!! Great job with that double foot action on working your forward & reverse pedals! Haha. That's not easy for some! Appreciate the scripture at the end of each video too! It's one of our favorite parts of each episode & look forward to seeing the next one!
Great video, Tim. I loved the ending where Christi yelled....STOP! She definitely got my attention, she did. Enjoyed a full-watch. Havwe a fine upcoming week. 👍🏽🙂
I do similar tractor work myself. I use a heavy duty brush hog on roughly the same size trees as you shown in this video. I’ve often thought about a forestry mulcher so thanks for the video. I know you said you could spend more time mulching, but it was interesting to see the debris left is also about equal to what I’m left with when using my brush mulcher. I show that in some of my videos I’ve posted. My biggest take away was watching the grapple on the orange tractor. That grapple looks to be about perfect for my tractor company. Thanks for the great videos! 🍻 Cheers from the Bulldog
I seen on TH-cam one time where Claus has a version of the forestry cutter, where they took the body if their harvester, corn and hay, and it was strong enough to completely shred up trees at least 1 1/2' , that is cutting and shredding all in one process. But yes i have seen the ones where they are a dedicated skid with steel tracks and a roll cage on the back for over $100,000 used
I would agree its not the optimal solution for brush grinding, but if I had a compact tractor, half the cost for a "forestry head" is nothing to scoff at. not to mention the track loader is probably twice what the tractor costs as well... Skid plates would be be something I would look into/make for your machine to ensure I didn't damage something while items are being discharged...
Wonder if you could install two large mirrors one on the left and one on the right, so you can see what you were doing without turning your neck backwards for hours. Or maybe a backup camera mounted on the roll bar pointed down behind you?
Hopefully they open that land up for trapping and hunting. I'm a Hoosier not far from spencer. Indiana has some great public land cause of people like you helping out!
I think a small piece of steel might help on the brush mulcher, but I'm no expert by any means. The 360 looks to have the same setup with no chains to ease the javelin like projectiles. Curt looked like a kid in a candy store on the LX3310. Bet he's going to trade in his Kubota or get one seeing how much fun he had. Update to my initial comment: there's now an optional chain guard on Baumalight's website for the MP348/MP360 mulcher which I've spotted. Cost is roughly $900 between both models.
Very productive day. Good job. I like that grinder/mulcher. I’d be a buyer if that price was a little lower, but a good alternative to the $75-100k typical machine.
You mentioned damage under the tractor. Both my hydraulic filters stick below my 4510 Deere. One day the driver damaged the large filter cutting brush (mesquite). It caused a slow leak that was above our skill so the John Deere dealer had to repair.
Thank you for another great video! Every time I watch you use the mulcher I ask myself what would be a good way to protect the underside of the tractor. I keep thinking that a deflector that slips over the draw bar or into the draw bar mount would be low enough to stay out of the 3 point links and high enough to not get caught on everything.
Hey Tim: quick question: when you have done stump grinding and are asked to clean up the wood chips, how do you do it and what do you use? Thanks for your reply, Bill
Tim - I notice you do not use grill guards (like 511). I did not think I needed one but the last time I was using the grapple I got lucky but put a dent in the grill. I am changing my mind about the importance of a little more protection. Have you seen a need?
@@TractorTimewithTim I am leaning to not using the quick hitch, but sent a question to Baumalight. Don’t have the manual on it yet and can’t download without a serial number. I’ll let you know what I find out. Thanks and God bless
This implement is neat for compact tractors but golly gee, I can’t imagine running all day looking backwards. My neck would be hurting for a few days after.
Folk...watch till the end. STOP!!! I try to only buy one attachment for my 1025R a year. Between you and Good Works Tractors always showing very cool and handy attachments and tractor upgrades like the HydrosPlus pumps. I'm having problems decided what my 2022 purchase will be. I just might have to break down and have a spring and a fall purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Would have been much quicker to push it all over with a front blade and then push the fallen into burn piles. I did that with an old JD1040 on my 40 acres and was pushing regrowth up to 3" thick at the rate of about 1/2acre per hour. I tried pushing sections over and then coming back to push it into burn piles and then tried other sections where I was pushing it into burn piles as I went - ended up being about the same time wise as I was very selective about what should go and what should stay
@@TractorTimewithTim Try Ace Hardware. They have both. Its worth a try. They have the biggest selection of both metrics and SAE I've seen in any hardware store. I assume you're talking bolt and not stud such as in an automotive brake drum.
Say Tim, I was watching Biff at Biffs equipment do an interesting test between a Johnie and a Kubota bx. Would be an interesting test if made a little more scientific. Keep up the keeping up.
Would it be handy to install a fronthitch (like a zuidberg) with pto to get that baumalight in front? But i guess you wouldn be able to use your front grapple then or would it go over it?
Hey Tim Watch a lot of your videos - got a 1025r after watching you videos! Question - my rockshaft snap ring came off - causing my right side 3pt arm to come of the spline. For now no leaks and still goes up and down In reading various forums - sounds like This is a common problem. Has this Given you any issues?
One of two things when a wooded area creeps in on the farm fields, more than likely it was wet and not worth the hassle or farmer just didn’t have the time or effort to keep the edges back.
Awesome video Tim. I,ve been thinking about one of those Stihl battery chainsaws. Was going to go for the bigger one, but now that you talked about the cut size difference, I think I will go with the MSA 200.
@@TractorTimewithTim Ironically, I own a chain of Hardware and Building Supply stores here in Nova Scotia and sell the Husqvarna brand Chainsaws. I have their version of the battery saw and hate it. It keeps stopping and I have to reset it every 5 minutes. So, you are forcing me to go and buy from my COMPETITION!
Would love to see the maximum capability of diameter of wood this thing can chew up.Guy I have worked with has a big one on his giant skidsteer, but I think it might be bigger than this thing.
The Stihl MSA 220 battery saw that you spoke of in the video with poor performance, requires the larger amp hour battery (AP 300 S) to achieve maximum performance.

THE XBT-3 IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE K-37HTC BUT ALMOST. THE KUBOTA SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH HP TO ALSO USE THE XBT-14-C WHICH CAN ALSO BE USED WITH A SKID STEER. JUST SAYIN'
These small tractors seem small and dangerous with the high potential of tree branches, rocks and debris flying in the air and harming the drivers or anyone standing near by. What are the reports of death and bodily injuries from using these tractors to remove tree? Honestly what are the reports.
My insurer says that small tractors have proven to be much safer (in terms of insurance claims) than they predicted. Therefore, insurance rates are relatively low.
@@TractorTimewithTim yes and you can use those with avant, skidsteer and...... I have used mericrusher with avant and Bigger ones with bigger tractors.

Thanks for adding the reading of the scripture verse at the end. Sometimes I had to stop and pause it so I could read it all.
Nice job. I love that brush mulcher. It’s actually impressive that the 2038 can run it
Spencer is a beautiful area. I used to know some people who lived down there and I always loved visiting.

Nice project Tim. Trees encroaching happens pretty quickly.
My hometown super cool
Maybe make you a chain bar to bolt to the back bar of the tractor to keep stuff from going under

I've been wanting to see another mulcher / grinder video, thanks.
It worked beautifully in this project!
Very productive day. Good job. I like that grinder/mulcher. I’d be a buyer if that price was a little lower, but a good alternative to the $75-100k typical machine.

Tim if I can ever donate my time for projects like this when I am finally able to get a tractor and a few implements.
I love your use of Stob. We use it in Kansas all the time, but here in Peoria most people have no idea what a stob is. Take care, Jason
I don’t know another word to describe a ‘stob’. If you notice, I follow up in the next sentence with ‘tiny stumps’.
That’s a cool project Tim!!
Thank you for another great video! Every time I watch you use the mulcher I ask myself what would be a good way to protect the underside of the tractor. I keep thinking that a deflector that slips over the draw bar or into the draw bar mount would be low enough to stay out of the 3 point links and high enough to not get caught on everything.
I think the chains on the front of the mulcher would be most effective. We have them on the larger mulcher, and they work well.
A lot of area cleared in a short amount of time!
Hey Tim: quick question: when you have done stump grinding and are asked to clean up the wood chips, how do you do it and what do you use?
Thanks for your reply,
Bill
Usually front loader bucket and blower.
Often we leave all of the chips on the old stump.
Tim add the baumalite mulcher to the front of Johnny 5 or the foray mulcher

I’ve got a mp360 brush mulched coming for my tractor. One question I have is can you use a quick hitch with it?
Can’t remember! I don’t think so.
@@TractorTimewithTim I am leaning to not using the quick hitch, but sent a question to Baumalight. Don’t have the manual on it yet and can’t download without a serial number. I’ll let you know what I find out. Thanks and God bless
Heard back from Baumalight and they are NOT quick hitch compatible.
I had a 300hp Forestry mulcher clear my land.
200/hr.
Took 3 hrs to clear about 300 4-6" popple trees.
That thing would have taken forever to use.
This implement is neat for compact tractors but golly gee, I can’t imagine running all day looking backwards. My neck would be hurting for a few days after.
I enjoy your videos
Thanks Barry!
@@TractorTimewithTim ❤
Hi Tim. How about adding a rear view mirror to save your neck from some strain? or even a rear view camera!
Both vibrate too much to be useful. We have tried in the past.
Whats the pto rpm and hp requirements for that mulcher. I really want something like that for my kubota b2601
Too big for you. Sorry.
It’s easy to fab up a skid plate that attaches to the mid mound mower connections
would love to see the mulcher on the LX3310, just to see... that mulcher really gets it done on the deere!
th-cam.com/video/hIJbUEmiSJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@TractorTimewithTim lol short on caffeine, I forgot about that video!! Awesome job Tim, really enjoyed this
That Kubota has loud hydraulics.
Hey Tim do they make a mulcher that spins the other way? That would eliminate the under belly of the tractor. Great video!
Think about the side affects. I don’t think I want the trees thrown upwards either :-)

What wheel spacers are you using? I need to get a set for my 2025r. Thanks!
I don’t know. Dealer put them on to fit the backhoe on the 2038r with radial tires. I need to find out…so that I can get the right lug bolt.
@@TractorTimewithTim Why don't you take one of the bolts near it out and then take it yo the hardware store and match it up?
Suppose they have metric lug bolts at hardware store?
@@TractorTimewithTim Try Ace Hardware. They have both. Its worth a try. They have the biggest selection of both metrics and SAE I've seen in any hardware store. I assume you're talking bolt and not stud such as in an automotive brake drum.
Correct. It is a hex head bolt.
Say Tim, I was watching Biff at Biffs equipment do an interesting test between a Johnie and a Kubota bx. Would be an interesting test if made a little more scientific. Keep up the keeping up.
You get some chain, I'll bring up a piece of angle iron and a welder and we'll put it together.
If nothing else just something that hangs off of the 3point

Sometimes you just can't find a roundtuit.

I mean it's impressive but dam lots trees gone real fast
Dumb question, but don’t they grow back if you don’t grind every stump?
We mow over them. They eventually "get tired" ...or perhaps we kill them with Crossbow or equivalent.
Take that Mr Beast!

I’m not sure it would make much difference…but it might.
