Whoa!! 😳 That huge mulcher is an impressive machine and the content was sooooo satisfying to watch! Loved the sheer power and efficiency of that thing! Great stuff.
The libtard tree huggers with a stranglehold on CA forestry politics don't allow this type of work to be done. Hence outrageous forest fires. Up here in Idaho the forestry department is proactive and do manageable mulching which minimizes the severity of fires. Apples and oranges. Your vote counts!
All I can say is WOW! That's a amazing machine, both in what it can do, and how expensive those teeth are to replace. Thanks for a great video. It was really fun to watch that machine do it's work.
The cooling system for the hydraulics must be an amazing bit of engineering. The heat being generated by this type of heavy work is incredible. Excellent video, thank you for not adding a crap sound track. The machine running is real music to my ears.
That was exciting to watch that machine just chew and spit out mulch. Thanks so much for the view from the operator's seat. The size of some of the trees that machine attacked was amazing. I watched the whole episode. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
I worked beside a "I'm told" 600HP mulcher for almost a week. The most AWESOME and scariest machine I have every been around. That machine went thru over 100 gallons of diesel in less than eight hours and would go thru a two foot diameter tree in seconds. Don't remember the name of the machine but I will never forget the operators name, call me a liar all you want but the operators last name was Munch.
@Bruce Davies These are usually trees not worth harvesting. If they don't get mulched, they would get cut down and dragged to a chipper, or just piled up and burned. Mulching in place keeps the nutrients in place and lets it decompose back into the soil it grew from.
@Bruce Davies Those trees are NOT EVEN CLOSE to 100 years old, and how does this take jobs away from Americans? Land Services is an American company hired to do this job.
Man the recovery time is instantly back to top speed on the drum, that's a incredible machine, talk about knocking a job out quick, man what a beast, it just goes threw them trees like nothing, that's some dence material too, awesome video, thanks for sharing 🌲💪🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! I think I forgot to mention in the vid that the mulcher head is PTO driven, not hydraulic so there is almost 100% energy transfer from the engine to the mulcher head, that's why it seems to recover so quickly and not bog down easily even in the bigger material.
WOW, that was something else. I am reminded of my younger years where woods like that would be cleared with an ax and chainsaw (minimum wage was $1.50). Or if heavy equipment was used it would be a bulldozer knocking trees down. The wood would be harvested. There was no such thing a mulch. Or, at least, I wasn't aware of it.
That's some machine! The last time I saw anything like this in terms of size and power was when I worked as a refuse worker down at the tip where we unloaded the trucks, all of our compacted general waste would be shredded through huge mulching machines before being loaded into huge trailer trucks to be taken elsewhere for incineration or whatever it is they do with it now. Was quite extraordinary to see, and smell...
Those woods are so dense that all of the trees are fighting for the same real estate. That's why none are really that big...just numerous. Sweet video.
Man, that "Trees Be Gone" machine has got some grunt! The trees just disappear, that's crazy. Awesome to watch, must have been a blast watching it onsite...
This machine is mesmerizing. I watched the full video and was as engrossed at the end as I was at the start. I would love to see how the are regrows over the next 12-18 months
Amazing equipment 😂😂😂. Thank goodness the noise was off. This machine is loud. It is something watching it push all of these trees over🎉🎉🎉🎉. Love the sped up version and the music😂🤣.
That thing is a beast, I think it would be fun to operate a piece of equipment like this. I’m also quite sure there is a lot of skill involved. Kudos to the operator. And thanks for the video.
it took over a hundred years of development to get to this point with these mulchers. great machines, but the ordinary rotary kind offers a lot more return on horsepower input.
If you’re in the land clearing business and that monster isn’t your business life goal… 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ That machine is beyond awesome and worth every nickel. Just the time savings alone per acre, and it does at least 5 other jobs at the same time…. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing!!
This is the video that got me to subscribe 5 months ago. Do more of these if the opportunity arises. As always great content. Watch out for the bees man. 🤣
You can starta a massive business by sellings that all into all bags or all 🎁 boxes that all pieces of all wood and millions of dollars industrys ❤❤❤😊😊
How well do these do on hill terrain like the Ohio valley region? Of all the videos I have watched on mulchers, it seems to be pretty flat terrain with slight grades.
Just a tip, but as a retired machinist of 45 years experience, when carbide tool bits first burst on the scene we had to re-sharpen them ourselves. I'd remove a couple and take them to your nearest tooling sharpening place and see what they can do with them. Buying one set to swap out while the other is being sharpened might save you some major outlay. If it were me; I'd buy a good 8" bench grinder and a couple of Green wheels and have at it by hand. It's not like the relief angles have to be exact for those.
@@samkaufman5232 Perhaps you don't, but I can assure you others of us have and do sharpen them. It ain't rocket science for a certified machinist to put an edge back on those large teeth as the profile is contained in the back rake of the tooth so you simply sharpen the face and you're done. Have done many smaller towable limb/tree stationary mulchers along with stump grinders for local guys. Better yet, buy an 8" pedestal grinder, equip it with a set of carbide wheels (green) and spend some time learning the process (20 minutes tops) yourself and sharpen them during your winter down time. Once taught, a high school student could do the job for you.
Incredible. I've seen videos with a mulcher on a skid steer, but this is a whole nother beast. Thanks for bringing us along. Did you ask if they needed another operator?
Why wasn’t the pine trees cut out for pulp wood before the monster mulcher went in? Just a question with the price for pine trees! Incredible how that machine clears out!
Cant wait for the remote controlled, fire management version. So much research and investment is needed to understand our new fire risks. Reducing brush is a technique to slow fire spread.
Davin, as a business owner, are you crunching the numbers yet? LOL That Prinoth is very impressive, but somehow I like watching you with the Kubota and Munchie as you selectively clean up wooded land. Did I mention how impressive that Prinoth is? 😊
Thanks Jeff! I'm not sure I ever want something that big LOL! Bigger equipment means bigger problems but it was very impressive to see in person and watch what it can do.
Cara não entendo uma palavra do que você fala, pois não falo inglês, mas sou seguidor do seu canal e gosto do seu trabalho. Meu nome é Geovan, e falo de Brasília Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏
O…M…G, Holy guacamole😱😲😍 Now that is a mulcher. Reminds me of the kids book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”🐛 my nieces loved it, they would say it’s “gobblering” everything up🤣 Gavin, you must have thought you’d died & gone to heaven😊 Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
So, my guy used a Takeuchi TL12V2 skid steer with a Fecon head, had to use carbide teeth (we have surface shale) & it took 20 hours at $175 = $4200 to clear approximately 3 acres of everything under 8”. I’m imagining they need to charge “at least” $500 an hour, can he mulch the same 3 acres in 8 hours = $4000. You won’t get the ability to subsoil, but it doesn’t look like they’re going deep on this project. For small acreage, does it make sense to hire a machine that large? It is a nasty beast, I’d love to run it a couple hours.
Thumbs up. Man and his powerful machines exerting his will upon mother earth. I know humans evolved from apes but I haven’t seen anything like this machine manufactured by apes.
That is some serious big machine and wow it's impressive. For a bit I thought you may be buying one but crickey I bet it's some price?!!! Wishful thinking I guess 😉
I get so jealous watching these types of videos. The last 2 years spring fall and summer I have been clearing my parents back property that has been growing for 25yrs by my lonesome. Weed eater with blade a chainsaw and truck and me I've cleared a lot but still have a lot to go. I had to take down about 150 yards of fence that was covered with poison ivy with vines 2 inches thick running the length of the fence running in and out of the fence holes so that was great. It keeps me busy but I would love to have that thing for 4 or 5 days
"This Prinoth Raptor 500 is a real 'monster', With 450HP, it devours everything in its path without any obstacles. Terrible power and amazing performance
I rented a Prime Tech PT300 which looks similar to the Raptor... $25k for a week but worth it. I don’t know about the Raptor but the PT300 mulched, subsoiled and pulverized small rock. For an all in one land clearing machine these are just awesome.
@ depends, some days I was in light stuff like cedars and autumn olive which are soft wood junk trees that the PT ripped through fast. Hardwoods take longer and really depends on diameter of trunks. What took the most time was subsoiling the roots and rock which takes more time. I have since rented it a few more times but always could use another week. This is for my farm so I’m not getting reimbursement right away. I own a Case TV620 with FAE head which is good for small jobs only, the big difference is how fast you can feed and process… the Prime Tech tool carriers and mulch heads are 1000x faster and more powerful. If you have large acreage to clear, you’re not going to do it as fast with a CTL. Plus you can’t till out the root balls. I’ve done it both ways, cleared with a CTL and mulch head and a year later when it all regrows, go over it all with my boom sprayer. It’s extra work and expensive which is better spent on the PT300 cause I can till out the roots at the same time and be done. There are disadvantages, if you have lots of cedar, avoid mulching cause they will lower your soil acidly to astonishing high levels. It will take years of liming to correct. For that, your best bet is to dig them out with an excavator. This doesn’t answer your question cause it changes due to what your mulching. Based on straight clearing and not tilling, I would estimate 25-30 acres for soft wood and 18-25 hardwood. Those are experienced operator numbers, if your not then those numbers are less than half. If you till out the roots those numbers drop significantly too.
It’s amazing what this machine can do. It mows through those tall trees like bush hogging a pasture. I really enjoy watching mulchers at work.
Nice job man. Thanks for featuring our customer Land Services Company and their new Raptor 500. Loved the video!
Whoa!! 😳 That huge mulcher is an impressive machine and the content was sooooo satisfying to watch! Loved the sheer power and efficiency of that thing! Great stuff.
I was starting to think I was the only woman who loves this type of equipment.
I feel like CalFire could use this to make firebreaks in moments, or access roads through the woods .amazing stuff.
I'd have to so agree with you on this statement.
I’m sure forest fire crews do use these.
The libtard tree huggers with a stranglehold on CA forestry politics don't allow this type of work to be done. Hence outrageous forest fires. Up here in Idaho the forestry department is proactive and do manageable mulching which minimizes the severity of fires. Apples and oranges. Your vote counts!
Yeah but they are all about saving the trees 🙄
Si, pero por conveniencia para algún departamento o persona no les conviene, corrupcion a gran escala.

All I can say is WOW! That's a amazing machine, both in what it can do, and how expensive those teeth are to replace. Thanks for a great video. It was really fun to watch that machine do it's work.
Yeah I think I said the word “wow” on quite a few occasions watching that thing in person. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for letting us see what a giant mulcher can do. It’s like a lawn mower for the woods!
Yeah it kinda is like a lawnmower lol! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
That was 50 minutes of sheer enjoyment , fantastic content .
Thank you Keith! The next vid with the Cat 323 with the mulcher will be up in the next day or two so stay tuned!
The cooling system for the hydraulics must be an amazing bit of engineering. The heat being generated by this type of heavy work is incredible. Excellent video, thank you for not adding a crap sound track. The machine running is real music to my ears.
Yeah. A radiator, fucking space magic.
That back compartment has multiple rads with fans all over. It’s quite impressive.
I second the credit for no crap sound track!
What is more important for this mulching jobs,hydraulic flow or hydraulic pressure ?.
@@DieselRamcharger LOL Bad day?
That was exciting to watch that machine just chew and spit out mulch. Thanks so much for the view from the operator's seat. The size of some of the trees that machine attacked was amazing. I watched the whole episode. Thanks for sharing and be safe.

@Bruce Davies These are usually trees not worth harvesting. If they don't get mulched, they would get cut down and dragged to a chipper, or just piled up and burned. Mulching in place keeps the nutrients in place and lets it decompose back into the soil it grew from.
With the current lumber market, if it is worth harvesting, they will come in and get it before this machine shows up. If it ain't, they dont.
@Bruce Davies Those trees are NOT EVEN CLOSE to 100 years old, and how does this take jobs away from Americans? Land Services is an American company hired to do this job.

It's cool to see you two together as friends awsome dudes good job
What an amazing clearance. That sure is some mulcher.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What is that machine built on, is it bulldozer base or excavator? Thank you for showing this awesome machine. Have a great day.
Thank you for the video it is great. This machine is a beast will rip anything in its path. Wow.
Wow! Big Daddy!😳❤✌ The trees are like toothpicks!
It's so satisfying to watch, if I walk away for a second and miss some I rewind it to make sure I didn't miss anything 🙂
Is any of that wood useful for building or are the tress too small?
You can starta a massive business by sellings that all into all bags or all 🎁 boxes that all pieces of all wood and millions of dollars industrys ❤❤❤😊😊
Could those trees be used for pulp wood prior to mulching ?

You don't sharpen carbides anyone. Just run them until they are done. I believe this model also has reversible carbides.
If you do need to sharpen them…the drum will rotate easier if all the teeth have the same profile shape.
