First Steps in Lot Clearing for New House - Forestry Mulching

🌲🚜 Dive headfirst into the action with today's video as we embark on a rough cut #ForestryMulching job on a customer's property. Our goal? To outline the clearing area, setting the stage for a stunning house site and future driveway. Watch the land transform before your eyes as we clear and open up the terrain.
But the journey isn't all straightforward - we have an initial challenge with a wet ditch. No culvert? No problem! Witness the ingenuity as I construct a #TemporaryBridge to keep the job moving smoothly. This rough cut is just the start - be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon for notification of the detailed planning and clearing process in the follow-up video.

How do you like the Kubota hydraulic cooler? And where did you get that rear bumper with the winch?

[@DigginDownSouth65]

The cooler helps out, but I think it could be a lot better. I’ve never had to use the winch bumper, although it has protected the rear of the machine from tree impacts it has caused more strife than anything else. It’s tough to open because it is easily warped after hitting trees. I think it should be stronger.

@@DigginDownSouth65 if you could go back, what kind of aux cooler would you go with?

[@DigginDownSouth65]

@@Thetreeminatorllc I don’t really know that there’s a big difference between the different types. If I did it over again I’d probably still go with the kubota cooler

I had a SVL 95 with a Diamond Disc Mulcher. I liked the disc mulcher for open areas like you’re doing here. Because it seemed to be faster to cover open areas as well as how the debris was taken in and mulched. I could see a drum mulcher for tight areas or pine rows. Have you tried a disc mulcher, or do you intend to for those big open jobs you do?

[@DigginDownSouth65]

I used to run a diamond, the Cimaf runs better on the Kubota and produces a finer mulch in the same time or less. I’m interested in ShearEx, but if I buy a new head at any point it will either be ShearEx or another Cimaf

@@DigginDownSouth65 so a disc style mulcher is not even a thought for you, in addition to your drum style.

[@DigginDownSouth65]

@@skoop7641 no, for the cost of a 2nd head it would have to provide a huge benefit to justify its purchase. In my experience I can control the debris discharge and size much better with the Cimaf and process just as quickly. I could see the benefit if I did mastication work for wildfire areas, but that work isn’t really near my area.
