Your day went like my week. 2-high flow of-rings, slipped a track twice, mulched carpet which I had to torch off, mulched barbed wire which whipped me in the face unspooling it and yes I was bleeding, lost my AC fans, and more. Mulching sucks, but it’s the cheapest and fastest way to clear for the customers. 2023 takeuchi TL12V2 with a FAE mulcher. Good weeks and bad ones I guess. Stay motivated!
Metal fatigue is happening to that head. I am not a metallurgical specialist, but with my experience of metal and welding, it may pay to have each one of the welded on attachment points rewelded to the drum. If you are experiencing detachment of teeth now, it's just going to keep happening. Just an old man with experience trying to help. Keep up the great work Davin!
He's exactly right. These appear to be failing along the weld lines. It might be worth the effort to have these areas penetrant tested, or possibly magnafluxed. It'll help identify cracks, and help prioritize repairs.
Good news it wasn’t one of the teeth you just had fixed. And since the shop did a good job on other ones, this should be quick for them to fix. Hopefully that is it for a while.
Great little video,unfortunately things do break,just shows you,you use your equipment,just keep up the maintenance on your equipment,maybe double check sooner than later.all comes with the territory.be safe,great job.impressive as always.just keep on doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
@idigit4967 that zero turn is worth it's weight in gold! It looks like u have put a lot of thought into the arsenal u have to get just about any job done, anytime, anywhere. Ur like batman of the mulching world. Well done on another quality video. Cheers 🇭🇲👍👍
Welds are weakening. Everything wears out ! You might need to get a welder/angle grinder and learn how to use 'em. Pressure washing/inspection/repair might need to be a 'regular' item if you don't want downtime. Either that or sell the head a buy a new one... that is what the 'big' contractors do. But you are a small time operator... kinda expensive though.
Hi it's just a thought on my part now you have lost another tooth it may pay if you have more teeth on the drum to get them cut off and new ones replaced and welded on to save this happening in the near future, thank's for a great video.
Who trolls a nice guy like Devon? . Your comments to a guy who has mentioned many times the maintenance of bucket, grader, brush cutter, bush hog blades. He does do all that. There are always hidden stumps and masonry on lots like this.
Zero Turn, mulching blades. Inner tube's by size of Ebay and Amazon are cheaper. Order your back ups. Me, hand truck, mobility scooter, wheelbarrow, ect. I buy a few along with good patches. Sometimes can patch, sometimes not. Back ups and patched in toolboxes. Always water check patches.😅
Have the welding shop crack test the other teeth while it’s in, might be a preventative maintenance deal as the hours continue to add up on the mulching head
Your welder should be able to check the welds on the remaining teeth. Mulchers have a hell of a life so it is probably not surprising this is happening given all the work it has done
You don't need those. Just take all of them off. I was having the same problem someone told me to take them all off I've never had any trouble again. Makes it easier to change those end tooth also.
you got to see one of the Mr. tech Video this mulch was huge it when thought trees and bushes and vines like it was nothing Video thar had trump ringiners and sissors with the grappers then saw the wood in pieces so check it out for yourself
I’d say you’ll Need to raise the height of the drum up off the ground every now and again to get the drum speed up so best just get a skid steer with front forestry mulcher.
When you say, "I'm over it. I don't know, I'm just over it." Does that mean you are quitting doing your videos, ore frustrated to no end? Weld that tooth back on and get in that seat, Young Man. That's an order!

So, the ugly stuff, sorry to hear that happened to you. Did you read the nasty way some are telling Devon he doesnt maintain his equipment? Trolls!
Great job using the equipment you have. Would have been easier with the skid steer but you got it done👍👍🇺🇸🔧
Good job and video Brother. Oh the joys of owning and operating equipment
Impressive how efficiently you handle such challenging areas. Your work has truly transformed this site, the results are immediately noticeable.

@glennsoucy9767 yes, i used to do penetrant testing. Never magnaflux though. That is a great thought. 👍

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Sorry about the break down.
Always work smarter not harder; you always do such a nice job!!!
Love the zero turn. That thing got down!

Good video! Zero-Turn saves the day, AGAIN!
Great job sir 😊😊😊😊

Incredible work! I can’t stop watching.
Looks like the pile of dirt you discovered is a berm that an alligator made for its eggs.

That would be so good to have the Scid Stear back once again. Sure that you are missing it.
Don't forget to sharpen the blades on the John deer. Great video
Looks great
Hope you had a phenomenal holiday weekend!
Thank you! You too!
Nice video Davin, it sucks that another tooth broke off.
Have the welding shop crack test the other teeth while it’s in, might be a preventative maintenance deal as the hours continue to add up on the mulching head
Put your tire on rim keep on rim drill four equally spaced on side fill with spray foam cut off extra out of holes then you have filled tires❤❤😂😂😂😂
I enjoy watching you cut those tall grasses in time lapse. Thank you.

On things like that. When one fails and breaks off. Need to expect the rest to do the same.
Yeah I should have known...
you got to see one of the Mr. tech Video this mulch was huge it when thought trees and bushes and vines like it was nothing Video thar had trump ringiners and sissors with the grappers then saw the wood in pieces so check it out for yourself
Nice work Devin
Maintenance and repairs are part of equipment operations.
Good afternoon from ILLINOIS ❤❤.
Great job,....
Imagine if you rigged a small flail mower under the belly of a zero turn. That’d be cool.
I’d say you’ll Need to raise the height of the drum up off the ground every now and again to get the drum speed up so best just get a skid steer with front forestry mulcher.
Nice Vid!
Great video. Thanks. Hope you had a great labor day weekend. See you later.
Good test for that John Deere 👌
Technology always fails you when you need it most.
I’m surprised that it’s still pretty quiet inside the cab.
Good job.
seems to me that little munchie is getting a lot of hours and wear. i was just at CCE. the other week and they have some nice tmc 100. lol.
Maybe have them grind and re-weld the good teeth after they repair the missing one.
Gee mate, if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck, at all.
Take half the Day off on Saturday to Wath SEC Football !!! 😊😊😊
Popped Another Tooth? I knew you had extensive dental work, your smile is like a text from Grandma, ALL CAPS.
Your having bad luck with machines at the moment, wondering if it is faulty welding
Oh, well equipment will malfunction. Sorry for you. Nice job though🎉🎉🎉🎉.
The welds are reaching their fatigue end of life. Might as well go ahead and replace the rest. Or refresh the welds and see how long they will hang on
Foam fill the tires you’ll never have to worry about a flat ever again
Fantastisch Good work you the best te helpen te natuur thans te video Top week friend 👍🚚🚜🌾🌿🎧🧤🧢😎😅🍹👍🌞
When you say, "I'm over it. I don't know, I'm just over it." Does that mean you are quitting doing your videos, ore frustrated to no end? Weld that tooth back on and get in that seat, Young Man. That's an order!
So what is your guess on why those balancing teeth failed so close to each other (in time)?
Airless tires are so stupidly expensive I pay over 500$ a piece up north
27:41 that’s a weight that fell off. For balancing the drum.
run flat tires are nice but at least $500 each it's hard to justify.
You went so long with nit-picky stuff breaking and now bigger stuff goes north. Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
thick rubber tires never go flat on you mover
😢
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I gotta admit I didn't think the Z turn could handle that but man it did.
🙂
Hi Devin & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Devin & Friends Randy
Look you are on a ecavator w/ a fixed blade, move that dirt, com on man
get the zeor trun mom
Those side teeth seem to be the weak point on munchie. Neither of those welds that got exposed looked very beefy.
omg, not again!!!
I pooped another tooth.
One thing after another. That's the third thing ( superstitions) so hopefully it's the end of your troubles. Nice job though.
You just can't win for losing can you
Fantastisch Good work te mulching te natuur te helpen thans the video Top week best fried 🚛🪤🚜🌿🌾🎧🧋😎🌤😅🧢
