Forestry mulcher Clearing an overgrown lot with the Yanmar vio80 and fmx36 Fecon mulching head DigginLife21 Merchandise-teespring.com/stores/digginli...
Helluva, a great video brother, Y'all did a fine job scrubbing all that underbrush and saplings. Although she was cutting up some sizeable diameter along the way. A real testament to the quality of the Fecon Unit and, as always, the operator's skill as well. It's like you said, you have to be smart and not rough up the tool aggressively. Treat it right and maintain it; she'll keep making ya money for years to come! Y'all be safe out there, and God Bless! Rob
You really transformed that property. That last mulching pass is important. My neighbour kindly used a larger version of your slasher/mulcher on my property. He didn't mulch it right down and two years later I still have areas I can't mow properly. On a safety note, I found a splinter of wood embedded a good 20mm into a hardwood fencepost near where he was working!
David Shields thanks for watching!!! I kept telling em to stay back. I’ve seen that think really sling some stuff. Lol. Hopefully with the winter slow down I can build a forestry guard for Ol’ Yeller!!!
Thanks for all your footage from an Australian hillbilly. I went and bought a 6ton excavator with 100lpm aux flow and 250bar hydraulics to run a mulching head made here is Australia.
I've been watching you for awhile, love your work. I have a vio80 also. Do you ever regret going with the fecon fmx36 over the 50? I was going to buy a mulching head for my ASV 120 skidsteer but found that the fmx36 is significantly cheaper, but didn't know if I should spend the extra for the 50 model. What do you think?
Hey mate just wondering are those swinging hammer or fixed cutting teeth? Looking at a similar size setup here in New Zealand but can’t decide between the two. Swinging has more give when you hit things but apparently not as good at mulching the bigger wood and fixed is better for mulching larger wood but doesn’t mulch as fine on the smaller vine/bushy stuff... thoughts??
Was looking at the Fecon today. Do you need any specially hardened glass on the front as you need on the skid steer version? I like the thought of the excavator version for getting slopes and places that are harder to maneuver a skid steer.
My Tractor Guy it’s not a bad idea to do some kind of safety guard but I’ve not really needed one. Excavator it’s better on slopes but skidsteers have a lot better production on flat areas.
Great video! I'm looking at buying your same setup now and watching your video helps me decide. I hope you're happy with the Yanmar VIO80 and the Fecon 36. Let me know if I'm making the right buying decision? You got any problems or would do anything different? I would appreciate any help. Thanks and keep making good videos. I do wish I could hear your voice better without the machine over ridding your voice. You can get an external mic and pin it to your shirt in the front.
Thanks for taking your time to share with us just starting or consider getting a mulching head. You’re good at what you’re doing and appreciate your opinion. Have a cat 305.5 and just got a cat 305. Am considering getting a fmx 36. What is weight,flow and hp on your machine please ,and do you think would be a good match. God’s blessings to you, and thank you
My machine weighs 20k pounds. I’ve got it set at roughly 30 gpm. I’m not very familiar with Cat machines. In hindsight I would’ve been better off just getting a mowing deck
If you were going to clear land and the plant grass would you use the mulched or pull the trees and stumps out with the bucket and thumb? If you mulched, what would you clean up the chips and branches etc before planting? Love your videos man, thanks for the help!
Chris Fiondella to clear for grass I would definitely just use bucket to pull everything and burn or haul out. If I did mulch just rake ground with bucket teeth
DigginLife21 awesome, thanks for the quick reply! Trying to expand my bussiness up here and just want to have an idea of what I’m getting in to. I’m looking at 5-8ton machines. In that size would you prefer an excavator or a skid steer for mulching? Thanks again!
How doe it handle bamboo (old growth or new growth) I’m considering purchasing this on my komatsu...possibly see if i can switch it back forth on the dingo for small tight spots ... I read that they make a few adapter plates. Any thoughts would appreciate...great time laps shots...tks,Troy
Quick question. I just had them set up my FMX36. When activating the unit, should I have to hold the activation button down the whole time or be able to push the button once and the unit spins up and stays spinning? The shop I used set it up to where I have to hold down the button. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.
On mine you hold the thumb switch to the left and while holding press the index finger button on the same joystick and it will keep the flow on after you release

Great job bro night and day difference 👊🏾
I've got the same Mulcher. And it's in a sv100, haven't used it much it has its place. Nice video
Great video !
My new favorite channel! Love your stuff buddy! Keep it up!
Thanks my friend 🙏🏻

It’s my pleasure. That’ll make a good size machine for you
That mulcher is impressive. I’m going to either get a 3 bald cutter or a mulcher for my Volvo soon just can’t decide for sure what to get yet
Holy Cow Batman!!!! AMAZING. : )))
Thanks Zinky!!! Its a handy machine
Great job and it was impressive to watch! I plan on getting an mid size excavator and it is great to see how versatile it can be.
You wont regret it
This is the thing .
For sure!!!
I like the way you work
Scott Sterling Thanks Scott. We try to get with it
Cant wait to see what you've got to review thanks for the videos
Jason Melton thanks for watching my friend!!!
Good job. You kinda sound like mountain man on duck dynasty 😅
I've been watching you for awhile, love your work. I have a vio80 also. Do you ever regret going with the fecon fmx36 over the 50?

Love this setup and wanting to get something similar. how many gpm pump on your machine is necessary to run the head?
How long did it take you to do that job? Seems like it even cut the grass well

I'm going to guess what piece of equipment you have ordered and see if I'm correct when you relinquish it. Great video and yes, I'm subscribing!
Great to have ya on board Ed🙏🏻
How long did it take you to do all of that?

It’s a decent setup for doing smaller stuff. Anything over 4 inches is time consuming

Thank you for advice
That cutting head is a beast. Have you have hit big rocks or metal?
Donald Cisney oh yeah. It’ll chip the teeth in a hurry. I try to keep it outta the dirt.

do you think a yanmar vio50 can run this fmx36 Mulcher head? thanks

It turns bamboo into tooth picks. Still have to dig the rhizomes out to truly get rid of it though.
DigginLife21 thanks for the information!
All this done in one day?
Good Job. Like the attachment to the excavator. How much did that set u back?
About $22k
Got job for you. 15 minutes north of Asheville. Send me ur info. Thx.

Lavoro ben fatto 👍. Ma l escavatore non scalda?
Si. Non scalda
Are you satisficed with the Yanmar and Fecon combination or would you go a different route if you did it all over again?
It’s a pretty good combination for material five inches and under. Anything more it would need to be a higher hp setup
@@DigginLife21 thanks alot
Kenneth Lynn 👍👍👍
Hello where I buy that attach
How many supervisors were on this job?
Just the one....yours truly. Am I in trouble🤨. lol
What was the price of the head?
$20k
