of all the various types of brush cutters, mowers and mulchers nothing does that complete job like a drum mulcher, your transformation of that area is stunning.
What a gorgeous piece of property. I can see why they wanted all the single pines left as they did; *well done Willie and Josh.* Btw Willie, that would have been a perfect time for a Jar Jar Binks line: "a little-itty-bitty-accidenty." *God bless.*
Good job guys!.. Believe me, Y’all are top notch compared to other companies doing the same kind of work.. Difference between night and Day!.. Y’all’s work compared to others.. Awesome job guys!👊🏻💪🏼
I need a machine like that on my farm for about a week. They do an amazing job clearing brush. They aren’t much use clearing brush around ponds and on steep banks but you can’t beat them everywhere else.
I've found my flail mower is unbelievably fast at rolling up irrigation or barbed wire. Poly pipe always seems to try and get past the drum edge. A good steak knife helps remove it.
Carry a battery powered grinder with a cut off wheel. That stuff will happen again and you can just cut it out piece by piece. Just in case the excavator cant pull it out.
@@westtexas806 theres no kill like overkill. Yes, a torch would be fast and easy but even the compact set ups are pretty bulky, expensive, and might set the woods on fire.
One has to wonder what rebar is doing there to start. From other videos of yours I’ve seen, this type of detritus is an occupational hazard. I remember on video where you guys hit a goodly amount of wire left behind near an electrical tower. My friend’s contractor in France hit a lot of barbed wire while mulching and clearing farmland. It took him the better part of the afternoon to clear the wire and he had to take the mulcher to the dealer to get it realigned. He told my friend the wire was buried in the brush and he never saw it until it was wrapped around the mulcher drum. Kudos to Willie and Josh for clearing it quickly without panicking, though you could see frustration on Willie’s face and in his voice. It’s very easy to criticize, but truth be told, from where he sits in the cab, he’s not going to see it. That and the fact it tends to blend in with the ground. My friend told me his contractor never saw the barbed wire, either, as it was buried in with the brush. Hindsight is always the clearest vision, as is backseat skid steer driving. Again, another excellent job from your dynamic duo, and I love the pride I could hear in Josh as he showed off the “After” part of the job.
I hit an old rusty cable from what appeared to be a crane hiding in a lot full of elephant grass. It took a torch and bolt cutters to get that mess off. Disc type mulcher and it wrapped all around the wheel and shaft. Bearings had to be replaced. Land is mostly flat here but that lot was filled in and uneven. Like where your work was it was by a road and probably had a lot of junk dumped on it over the years.
Another item for the "Wish List" if I ever play the right numbers and can buy a nice piece of property to go off-grid. That would be perfect for cutting trails and keeping most of the undergrowth under control.
Years ago i was bush hogging with a side mounted bush hog on a tractor. Was mowing down side of a roadway when the blades caught a guy wire that had broke free from its stake. In just a second it snagged it, took up the slacked and ripped it out of the top of the power pole. I thought it was going to pull the pole down. Didnt have time to shut hydraulics down before it was over. Had to cut it all off with a torch. Just glad when it came off the pole it didn't hit me.
The property looks sooo good now! I can’t believe how strong that mulching head is to wrap rebar like that! 😳 Great job getting it removed! The Dynamic Duo!
0:50 Honestly, if a tree gets scared like that, you might as well talk to the customer and ask if he wants it taken down. Trees can take some scaring, but when you've got something that large, its never going to heal properly. It invites rot. Might as well take the tree down before it becomes a problem.
LOL. I done the same thing the other day w/ the bush hog.....I love that sound it makes.....followed by the immediate "fuck, goddamnet". Oh well, shit happens. Keep on trucking.
We would find TONS of logging cable in the woods of Oregon while thinning and piling. Never seen a mulcher like this before. Does anyone ever come in and burn after doing this or there isn’t really a need to? Just curious, thanks!
The mulch breaks apart and dissolves into the ground eventually. Put nutrients back in ground and erosion control as well. We've burnt a few times but it's rare. But we mulch in a single big pile when we do this.
You guys are great, and I bet you got good calluses on your hands, but damn brothers, put some leather gloves on when pulling on that rebar!! Solid work, the mulching looks amazing.
I love the finish of the fecon but not very forgiving if you hit a rock or somthing hard. Thats the only reason i like carbide so i dont have to change teeth out everyday!
Josh great job on doing the video,willie is hell with recon.rebar,accident’s are part of the job,unfortunately.y’all just keep on doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
I rented a CAT forestry machine last year. I have some old barbed wire on my property, I know where most of it is. That is one thing that terrified me but it never happened. I did keep a cordless saws all for cutting out jams (which I quickly learned to avoid). I figure you would have a cordless angle grinder for purposes like this. I guess that is a hazard of the job. These heads seem to be able to take a lot of abuse.
@@UpstateBrushControl How many times I say this people don’t understand the dangers involved. A good friend in 2001 lost his arm due to a cable left in a trunk from years prior. Anytime now I use a metal detector first to try to avoid these things.
Just recentlly bought some extreamlly over grown property (about 10 acres) that was neglected since 2005. Is there a ball park price for the land to be done as beautifully as this? lol
The ASV + Felcon a optimum Combination under a to hear Worker! What People in the Wood to Deposit is annoying. 😵. However a precise Work from the Team. 👍👌💪 Greeting 🇦🇹
why dont you guys brought with you a little battery powered angle grinder, last one and half year i am working at forestry compony as an operator of excavator sumitomo sh250 and root shredder machine doppstadt dw3060k. and this little battery powered angle grinder is a hell of a day saver, it might keep you away from trouble too.
I was sitting in a ground blind last season on state land and heard that racket coming right toward me. At about 75’ I jumped up waving my arms but he didn’t see me and kept coming closer until he almost gobbled up my chair and camo netting. They care more about mountain bikers than hunters in Michigan.
I would not risk getting caught with that stop sign in my shop. I know that laws vary by state, but in Wisconsin it is illegal to posses any type of traffic sign with bolt holes in it. I think it may even be a felony. When signs are made, the vinyl face covers the holes in the aluminum sheet. When it is installed, those holes are punched out for the bolts. The assumption is that if those holes are punched out, and it is not installed somewhere, it must be stolen. Here, the counties cannot even sell old signs as novelties and they must be destroyed.
nice, i keep a dewalt angle grinder in my cab in case i come across this stuff, can cut it quickly....much smaller and easier than bringing an extra excavator with me haha
Josh excellent footage of Willy "Mad Dog" Roughing, Finishing and removing Rebar... BRAVO..!
of all the various types of brush cutters, mowers and mulchers nothing does that complete job like a drum mulcher, your transformation of that area is stunning.
I'm extremely impressed at how tough that mulcher is.
It's a beast!

Best mulching video you have!
Wow, thanks!
Lucky guys! Nasty rebar. Another good job by UBC.
Another job well done! Great solution to remove the rebar safely. Blessing to all the Crew.

Awesome Piece of Machinery,,Love fact it mulches Back into the environment plus hardly and cleanup, Efficient Machine and Barely Laborers

Thanks for the tip!
LOL! My thoughts exactly.
Or bolt cutters. No batteries to maintain or discs to replace.
Hell no that would take forever. Use a cutting torch
@@westtexas806 theres no kill like overkill. Yes, a torch would be fast and easy but even the compact set ups are pretty bulky, expensive, and might set the woods on fire.
Great job Willie and Josh!
OUCH!! On hitting the rebar. Glad that you were able to get it all out and keep going. !
You and me both!
Very smart thinking on clearing that rebar! Good job!
My buddy sells John Deere tractors and he has talked about the Fecon Head. Thats got to be one of the coolest attachments for a tractor.
We love the Fecon mulcher heads!
Very enjoyable video , thanks for showing how you remove rebar . 👍👍🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
That bogie skid steer is nice :o) Mad how tracked loading shovels died out and now they are back ^-^
Awesome video thanks lads top job top team awesome y'all be safe out there 🚜🚛🚜
Glad you enjoyed it!
Job looks great you guys do outstanding work
Thanks!!
Great job Willie and Josh! Rebar is no match for the Fecon Blackhawk! Upstate Brush Control Crew rides again!!!
greetings from Poland !!!!! :) nice jobs 👍👍👍👊
Hey, thanks!
Nice work guys!👍🏼 Willie is a absolute BEAST on that ASV/Blackhawk combo, watch out fer the rebar, it'll give you a crooked tooth.🤣
Nice work fellas!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I have seen it used as a property line marker
@@JCourts2k23 That’s most interesting. I’ve never heard of using rebar. Thank you.
I pick some wire or steel cable about once a week. Almost hit an argon bottle hidden in the grass. My front glass on my kubota is bulletproof.
How many times can i like this vid! You guys did good,despite the setback!
Thanks for watching!
What a team you boys are. Well done.

That's OK you had a round with rebar that's nasty stuff to get up in that machine but you guys got it out great great job it looks beautiful now
A good torch great to have.

Thanks!
Nice job gentleman
Looks great! That thumbnail tho, Oooooofff.
06:20 I know that labour is not cheap, but that machine was partly feeding with nice firewood.
We tried using a pretty to large one in Texas on mesquite. It was too slow and was always down.
Awesome job guys

That looks great! Bummer about the rebar, but it beats finding old logging chain…..
Awesome Job !!
LOL. I done the same thing the other day w/ the bush hog.....I love that sound it makes.....followed by the immediate "fuck, goddamnet".
Oh well, shit happens. Keep on trucking.
that's an incredible machine. no muss no fuss, just high speed production and destruction. cool
Awesome job 🇺🇸👍🏻
Great job
At least it doesn't seem the rebar has done any damage to the mulcher but what else can you do?
That's why nowadays I always have a cordless angle grinder in the machine with a cutoff wheel to remove rebar/wire/etc
Can sure clear a lot of area with that machine! Don’t look like the land has too many rocks on it.
I wish our forests looked so good.
Do the trees you mulch down come back or does this kill them?
The property has to be maintained after we're finished, otherwise regrowth and sprouts will slowly take over again.
Do you have a backup camera or mirrors to see when you're backing up? Just curious - property looks good
Yes, there is a backup camera in the skidsteer.

I know thats a crappy situation but at the same time thats impressive that it rolled that rebar up.
Yeah, thankfully it was an easy fix.
You guys are great, and I bet you got good calluses on your hands, but damn brothers, put some leather gloves on when pulling on that rebar!! Solid work, the mulching looks amazing.
pretty good recovery on the rebar, i figured you'd need a torch, yall find much re bar in the woods
Not a lot, but we do come across something that gets tangled on a regular basis.
@@UpstateBrushControl NATURE OF THE BEAST
Getting after it for sure!!!
What’s the point of destroying all the undergrowth?
I love the finish of the fecon but not very forgiving if you hit a rock or somthing hard. Thats the only reason i like carbide so i dont have to change teeth out everyday!
Very cool! Won't it all just grow back soon?
Yes, once an area has been forestry mulched, it will need to be maintained.
Josh great job on doing the video,willie is hell with recon.rebar,accident’s are part of the job,unfortunately.y’all just keep on doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks!
Well executed gents!
Sometimes the answer is BFI. Brute force and ignorance.
Take care.
One week from our winter solstice.
That’s an awesome machine right there
OMG the Fecon Blackhawk is tough.
We love the Fecon Blackhawk!
What was that before the rebar? Was it a sleeping bag?
Good save on the Fecon !! That equipment owns rebar !! But wrestling it, isn’t sport. Anyway, Josh & Willie great job ! Be well.
great job looks like a park
Thanks!
Why would there be a stop sign and rebar there?
Who knows.
yeah good call pulling it out. if you cut it, it ,may have snapped open from the tension and ruined somebody's day

impressive that machine handled that rebar without damage, tough bugger.
I haven't hit any rebar but I have hit some barbwire and hog panels. My mulching head didn't like it very much.
I was just getting into it and then it cut off!
Part Three should be released on Sunday! That video will wrap it all up!
My dad had a 18" stack of baled newspapers caught in a loader mounted snow blower years ago. It took hours to get it out.
Oh man, sounds rough!
That mulcher seems like the perfect vehicle for mowing down zombies! Make the cab completely sealed, and go to town lol
At least it wasn’t stranded cable or even worse barbed or hog wire fencing! Those are a real dream to remove!! Nice work guys !,
Yeah, it could have been way worse!
What really sucks a chainsaw and a old steel spike or cable grown into a tree
Yeah, for sure!

For us, it all depends on the location of the job, the type of terrain, and the type of material.

Greeting 🇦🇹
I've never seen that machinery in action before. That would sure cut a firebreak in a hurry.
Looks like a 'tie'. 😏
Where can I get one of these?
Check out ASV or Fecon dealers in your area.

I wonder how long it would take a crew of 10 men to clear that property manually
Probably depends on the men.
I have done that one before. Luckily it’s malleable enough to pull it out.
Those pines are too close together in a lot of areas. Here we thin 30 ft apart for fire control.
I was sitting in a ground blind last season on state land and heard that racket coming right toward me. At about 75’ I jumped up waving my arms but he didn’t see me and kept coming closer until he almost gobbled up my chair and camo netting.

Wow, that’s just BS that they would even be doing that during hunting season.
Do you guys charge per day or per acre?
We charge by the job. Its all based on location of the job, type of terrain, and type of material.
