Congrats on the new equipment purchase! That thing is a beast! Nice detailed overview. Born To Mow!
Yeah it can cut, that's for sure!
Congrats buddy! That thing is awesome! Look forward to seeing the jobs that beast takes down. I’m happy for you man that’s great!
Thank you brother! I'm excited to see what it can do!
That’s awesome, congrats!!!
Thanks Josh!
You deserve it brother! hard work pays off!...
Thank you Brogan! I have been very blessed for sure!
@@idigit4967 happy for you brother
You will love that mower! I have about 50 Hours on my 80" MTL XC8 on a JD 333G and it is a beast! I do have counter weight on the 333G, That helps a lot with balance. Congrats, Looking forward to new videos.
Man, I bet that 80" cut is a beast for sure! How do you like your 333G? Any issues? When I upgrade I'm thinking of going with a 333G. Either than or a Tak TL12V2
When I got the 333G she had 950 hrs on it. A farm used it to push dirt in the fields. The thing is loaded with options. I enjoy the machine. Very strong. I was looking at the 331G but it’s the same frame just a smaller motor. So I went for the big dog. What I’m most impressed with, is the balance. I have three weights on each side and with the XC8 it’s balance perfectly. I looked at Cat and Bobcat but all the used units had concrete rash. I also got a 84” tooth bucket from MTL. Also built to last. I think it’s better than JD. I really enjoy your videos. I do a lot of the same, part time in Nebraska. Check out RBBUSCHER Enterprises on Facebook. I have photos there. Keep the videos coming.
Nice machine. I know you will enjoy it a lot. Ready to see some mulching videos. Have a great day.
Thanks Brent, I'm ready to use it!
Can't wait to see it in action.
I can't wait either Larry! Thanks!
Congrats on the new MTL..👍
Thank you John!
Nice to see you again my friend cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Nice to see you as well! Cheers!
Oh yeah. I'm sure you get plenty of pointers. But this really works great. With the third edge on the front of the blades.... If you'll flip every other blade upside down it will function like the bias on a saw kerf. You'll consume less power and have smoother cuts in large material. The legendary Brown Tree Cutter was the first machine to my knowledge to use this concept.
Ok cool! I may have to switch the blades around and see how it does!
@@idigit4967 it's worth it. More noticeable in larger material when driving straight into the trunk
Man that cutter is going to be awesome to see in action
I know I'm excited to see what it can do! Thanks Jeff!
Congratulations very happy for you my friend
Thank you Lance!
My MTL Grapple is a beast. I rip trees out of the ground with it. I am buying one of their brush cutters in April.
Yeah I've ripped several trees out with my grapple as well, it is super sturdy for sure! Enjoy the cutter, you won't be disappointed!
It's going to be interesting to see how that thing goes quite the unit it's a beast for sure 👍👍😀🇨🇦
Yeah I'm excited to see how it does!
Man, looking forward to seeing this new beast on a real job!
Me too! Thanks Dan!
Nice piece of equipment
Thank you Marty!
very good review overall.
Thank you sir!
Your video work is great, outstanding presentation
Thank you! Cheers!
That works great 👍 👍
Yeah I was super surprised with how easily it went through that tree!
I got the XC8T this summer, I freaking love it, except for the damn stump grinding mulching heads, they shear bolts almost instantly. You sneeze on anything other than grass or small limbs and the leading bolt is gone, then you have a heck of a time getting the broken parts out. Only problem I have with it, love it otherwise. Just saw that your mulching heads are completely different! I like that style SO MUCH MORE!!!!!! I wish there was a way to switch to that style.
Thanks for the feedback, I had heard some other people say that the stump teeth were damaging easily. I think you can get a new flywheel with those carbide teeth, I got a replacement flywheel for my older XCT and its helped a bunch. Call them and find out!
@@idigit4967 what's the minimum horsepower skid steer you need to run that? Is 65hp too small?
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW EQUIPMENT. SALUDOS FROM CLIFTON N.J.
Thank you Josian!
That's a beast, I always enjoy watching it eat some trees 👊
Yeah its always fun to watch trees disappear LOL!
Compare to the quick attach mega mower x ,which one would you buy?
What brush cutter would you recommend for a low flow tl8?
Good job
Nice machine sir, should call it “el destructo”!! Looks like she’ll raise heck. Congratulations. Big Al.
El Destructo! That's a good one Allen!
@@idigit4967 thank you.
I wonder if you can build some type of support brackets for the quick connects to keep the vibration and torque twisting off of them more.
I'm sure it's possible, I've seen quite a few different mods done around aux couplers on machines to protect them and the hoses. Thanks Chris!
I'm all about making better/saving breakdowns when I can. With my luck it's always the furthest possible away from the truck, and I definitely don't have the tools needed with me.
Just so you know all then teeth in the middle of the cutting surface are so you can pull strait down onto that tree and not have to back up and move forward every time. And easier on your blades
awesome video
Thanks!
Nice video. I hope that they gave you at least a sizeable discount for your promotion here and over the years.
They definitely gave me a good deal! 😁
@@idigit4967 good to hear. I may be able to get you a demo mini mulcher sometime this year that functions very well in your U55 if you can make a video. There would obviously be a very attractive price if you decided to buy the unit afterwards. Just a thought.
Need you to come clear some of my property in Canton GA
This is Mike, I wish I could talk to you more or text,I just got the same cutter about 3 months ago ,been sitting for a month now just got my svl75-2 and put about 8 hours on it 8 like it a lot,it's awful heavy, but sad I wasn't aware that I could get mulching teeth under it I wasn't told when I talked to cliff , That I wish I had. NICE PURCHASE
The mulching teeth is a very new thing but if you call them you could probably see about getting an upgraded flywheel with the new mulching teeth!
@@idigit4967 thanks I'll call cliff later. You have a good one ,I enjoy watching your videos
The machine just doesn’t have the power to run that cutter. Put it on a ASV and you would have something! Definitely considering buying one thanks for video!
Very nice
Thanks Michael!
Muy buen video saludos abrazo grande desde Argentina
How does it do on grass? Want to get one but not sure if you could use it to shred tall grass also. Thanks. Great looking machine!
Like I said, its not great for mowing purposes. If you want one for more mowing grass look at the XC7 or the XC4, those would be much better!
I have a query. With a stump like that 8 incher, why not move in closer and hit it with the grinder teeth on the wheel?
Great question! The teeth don't quite stick down far enough to get a good stump cut so what I usually do is raise the cutter just a bit off the ground and drop the nose of the cutter at about a 10-15 degree angle and just drive the center of the cutter right into the stump and that will cut if down below grade so its not sticking up.
If cutter is to much I'm sure ami makes a bolt on counter balance!
Yeah I could get some factory bolt-on counter weights from the local John Deere dealer if I need them but so far it seems ok but I really need to get it out in the field and use it to know for sure. Thanks Robert!
Do you have any problems with material being wedged between the two plates? If so how hard is it to remove material?
How difficult is it to replace the teeth?
Appreciate the review! Was very helpful am in the market for a machine like this.
Material can and does occasionally get wedged in between the plate carriers. It typically happens near or behind the blades. The best thing I've found to get it out is a small chainsaw head attached to a long pole saw. Just stick it in there and grind whatever is in there out. By using the pole saw it is safer as it can't kick back on you but it may ruin the chainsaw chain so be prepared for that.
@@idigit4967
Thank you and the teeth? Are they a pain to replace for one person?
I am really leaning toward the 8. Now that I have seen yours in action!
Do you still have this cutter it would be nice to see it on asv
After keeping up with all your videos it seems you are partial to the xct 3 blade. Is it because the carrier is lighter and better tip speed? If I hear you correctly the xct is low flow and the xct8 is high flow so I would have guessed the xct8 would be similar in tip speed. I'm close to buying a cutter but mtl is now sold out. Thinking high flow open front skid pro but it has drop down blades. Svl97 high flow is carrier. Thanks for great videos
Both cutters are high flow as is the skid steer itself. Its just that the XCT (3 blade), the piston motor can only handle 27 gal/m of flow. But my skid steer tops out at 33 gal/m, so when I run my XCT I turn on the high flow but I only run the throttle at about 75-80%.
If you could only have one of your mtl cutters for your Deere which one you prefer for grass, to brush to trees. It just seems that xct8 carrier is so heavy the tip speed is slow. Thanks for your honesty opions btw. Love your videos
@@tcmoney1321 Oh I'd take the XCT for sure, I thank this cutter would be better on a bigger machine
@@idigit4967 depending on what motor you chose I'd be very interested in purchasing the xct8. Let me know and I'd give you a call to discuss
how would you change the teeth?
Why not use the carbide teeth underneath for the stump instead of the blades
I like to use the blades because I can angle the head down and cut the stump below grade which is nice.
Good advertising!
Riffing off Motorhead's famous intro: "We are MTL and we grind!" Best of luck!
Yeah for sure! Thanks William!
👍👍
Great piece of kit but why not get a rotary cutter instead and run that along side your older cutter head ?
MTL gave me a good deal on this so I could promote it and do more stuff without having to make such a large investment on a drum cutter. Those things are on average 35K. Not in my wheelhouse at the moment.
@@idigit4967 Sorry didn’t know they costed that much . You’ve made the better decision then 👍.
Wee heads up bud iv missed 2 weeks of yer vids as TH-cam didny show you had videos up even tho i have bell selected
Dang that's crazy! I hate that you didn't get the notifications! Don't know how that happened!
See the backyard pond is filled up! Lol
LOL yes it is!
What brand of hydraulic motor is used on this mower?
Great question! I am not sure but feel free to give MTL Attachments a call, they can probably tell you! Thank you for watching and if you have any other questions please let me know! Thanks!
@@idigit4967I called them and the guy answering the phone said I'd have to wait 5 minutes. I'm certain they're very busy and guessing understaffed.
I wanted to see the mulched teeth in action that was all blade
Sorry Chris! I think the teeth did a pretty good job underneath grinding everything up but unfortunately I couldn't get my camera under there LOL! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@idigit4967 i like my xct7 one thing I don’t like Is on some jobs I need a closed front mower so I don’t throw anything through a window or at a car. Lol other than that love it I just mulched 15 acres of dead trees and large underbrush in 6 days was a blast
Mtl Attachments is in my hometown our old 100 the great Possums snout A.k.a. Tallapoosa Georgia the poorest county in Georgia meth capital of Georgia and a great place to be raised I run a tree service has been run in Tallapoosa for 25 years now about to go out to MTL and ask him about one for Takeuchi tl10
I’ve got the same unit. Except mine has the 4 stump grind teeth that MTL has on their site. VERY DISAPPOINTED I wasnt offered the grinding teeth you got. THANKS MTL IF YOUR LISTENING!!!! That being said it’s really well built unit. My problem is the same as some others that have commented on in this thread. The 4 grinding teeth on my model “SUCK’’. You hit even a hard wood tree that’s 7-8 in and you’ll break em. A rock and they’re all gone. $100 per set. Wish they would improve it. If your gonna order one obviously as any question possibly thought of so you actually know what options art available.
Thanks for the feedback Aaron! The mulching teeth option is a very new thing they just started, I've heard that same complaint from several people who got one with the stump teeth. You should be able to upgrade to the new flywheel without having to replace the whole cutter, I did that with my older XCT, I got a new flywheel and its made a whole world of difference! Give them a call and see what they can do!
Don't scuff it, get it dirty
Your video seems to be convincing on these attachments so I decided to call MTL. Well..didn't get through. Tried leaving messages, haven't received any calls back. Even sent emails as well as contacting them on FB. Are they in business? I looked up more about the company and haven't read anything good about them. Lot of people complaining of bad service. Sorry if you endorse them and all, but your posts seem to advertise a company that doesn't exist or possibly a company that I would not want to deal with.
Check out Rut mfg. Rut terminator brush cutter
No enough power
Not really that impressive.
You take up most of the vid talking......
Ummm, that was kind of the point.... to talk about the cutter.
