Clear some of your timber then seed it heavy with fescue and your cows will love you forever. Cows love shade when it’s hot and they will have a great place to lay down. I cleared 5 acres in our timber leaving the big trees. There’s always 43 of the cows graze and resting plus there is a water source in there.
That thing does a fantastic job. Looks like a bush hog went through a bunch of grass after you are done. You went through trees, brush, grass, vines, everything. May have even chewed through a 48 ford there...
Game changing attachment right there this is one of the many things I love about Chris he invests his dollars back into his machinery line up makes his job easier as a one man operation Cheers
You Proved the saying of the rabbit and tortoise. When you tried to clear the logs in one go you overwhelmed the head. When you started to shave the logs you became smother and faster. An excellent head for light brush work.
Chris one has to remember in Europe there is no burning of brush or trees in clearing jobs, everything is chipped, including the stumps. European clearing jobs is the brush is chipped up up, and if the chips are burned, they are done so in a carbon capture facility and not released into the air. The days of the big job bonfires is over in Europe, and soon in the USA.
My son had about 40 acres mulched on his place. Give it 2-3 years it will grow some great grass. Where these really shine for a farmer is pasture and field encroachment. Saplings and briers can be removed quickly. He started with blackberry and sticker vines so thick that the deer would go around.
Good gracious! That’s a beast! Quick work and great results! That thing is truly a trail blazer! There’s something soothing and very satisfying about clearing land… as long as you have diesel and hydraulics working for you!
''Hey everybody it's Chris with Upstate... I mean LD18 Brush Control" it's time to get John back for a TH-cam cross training. Great addition to the toolbox.
Congrats on the new toy for your arsenal. A few things I have observed by watching @idigit4967 aka IDigIt4. He has his TMC- CANCELA Mulcher head figured out! He keeps the head rolled back. This keeps the uncut material under the head and prevents it from shooting out the back. He uses the lift arm to adjust height from the ground, not by rolling the head. Trees are kinda like onions, they peal off layers easier from the outside, than cross cutting them. Mulchers work more efficiently when cutting with the grain. There is a major learning curve, it's quite a bit different from using a bucket.
Just think of all the pieces of equipment replaces! A chain saw, a way to get logs to a chipper, a way to spread a pile of mulch around. All from the comfort of a seat in the shade!
Great video Chris! Nice to your equipment testing. Sidenote: A friend that works for a power company in northern Sweden, she told me they use this brand only bigger models to clear power lines from undergrowth. When they started to use them eight years ago, it a was slow pace going through all them many miles of lines. But now it's so much faster than going at it with clearing saws(used to have groups of three running the cleaning saws. Plus the regrowth is slowed down quite a bit.
Never heard of the brand but what I definitely noticed right off the back is those extra cutters inside and the nice hydraulic line sleeve that's held up outve the way so it doesn't get snagged! Whole lot better set up than I ran! Congratulations on your purchase Chris!
Congratulations on the Cancela and the D7. Idigit4 has been using a Cancela for a few weeks now and I have been impressed with its performance. He is in your area around Myrtle Beach and he may be able to give you a few pointers. Just a few things that I observed, door closed when backing that’s when most debris is thrown forward, on long limbs or trees place your track on top of them to keep them from being thrown rearward and being a safety hazard, and keep the knives sharp as often as possible . Have fun and stay safe.
That unit works so well that I stated on Idigit4's channel ,that it would be interesting to see who was next among the big boys to get a Cancela. I guess it was Chris. A great unit
Oh heck yeah. Idigit4 has had one for a couple months and by golly that thing can mulch. I've seen a lot of mulchers in action and didn't think there was any room left for something better. I was dead wrong. This one blows away everybody else. Don't need anyone to tell you how much better this is. Just watch it work. Just watch it work.
Idiglt4 has a similar machine of the same brand , he does it for a living. Nice to see him cutting through bushes. You will still need the mulcher on the mini for places you can't reach with the skid steer. Nice demolition video.
This is a very very important Tool for your daily work. Especialy when you go out for a clearing job. I think that you have made a real good decision 👍
When you're mulching small trees if you drive over the tree and mulch from the top down it will tend to not throw them behind you. Also if you tilt the mulcher forward when backing up it will help to keep pieces from getting caught up under you and its a good idea to grease the drum everyday of use. Hope it works good for you.
Wow. Between this and the Endeco on the Mini, look out brush. Watching the debris fly, I get why you told Geoff to keep his distance from you for safety. You've said several times you wanted to clean out the 'small stuff' down by the new pond & lots as well as clean out the area between your driveway pond and the old irrigation pond. This will do that. Congrats on the new piece of equipment. Not only a help around your farm but when it's too wet to move dirt, you can at least keep working by destroying brush. Thanks for sharing, Chris.
@@franklinforrest8464 Did you see Geoff's video of the mulching Chris started? He didn't show Chris working but he showed the after effects, and wowza.
Off topic, apologies. I've watched some competitor earth moving channels lately. What is striking is just how good your machine operatong skills are. Your DNA must be in natural harmony with excavators and like. You're number one, by a mile Chris.
Man oh man Chris, you’re really taking to heart that saying “Man who dies with the most toys wins”. I WAS going for the title but after seeing yours I know I’ve lost.
😅 FYI : this now appears on my Zombie Apocalypse WishList … this has expanded my “do not mess w/ list” … and also where was this equipment when we where clearing our mountain property oh so many years ago … darn it😊
I can see this being useful when you need to clear an access path to a pond/build site. It would also be good at taking care of smaller brush and trees, then your bring in the excavator to take care of the rest. Quite a bit faster than the mulching head you have for the mini-excavator too. From the sounds, I think the hydraulic pump on your TL12 is BARELY enough for that mulcher though.
I wondered when you were going to purchase one of these, after watching others using them. They are an amazing work saver and I know it will save you time and make you money at the same time.
That mulcher is a great investment for your farm and business. It’s going to make cleaning up around your farm so much easier. They are great for cutting and maintaining trails. This opens up your business to more possibilities too. I hope to see it on a job site soon.
Great looking set up Chris. I know you will keep the machine clean, will say I have seen more than one burnt down from lack of maintenance. They have there purpose and for what your wanting to do it will work great. Hope to see more videos of it working. Stay safe
WOW, glad things are going so well for you. The hard work is paying off. Lets see, in the last 3 months the additions to the fleet have been a 330 excavator, upgraded skid steer, stumper for 330, D6F dozer that was upgraded very well, a mulcher and a new under carriage on the first 220. It begs the question, what's next? Congrats on the success!!
Well, that mulcher is certainly a beast at what it's made to do. That large tree at the end was seriously impressive. I'm pretty sure that it'll be added to Chris's equipment collection. Especially with as much acreage he has now.
Oh Chris, your gonna LOVE this muhchie!! Devan and John both have one and I Love watching their channels just cause their videos using this is just so relaxing...In time you will be a pro running the mulcher! Great video!
Looks like Barney and the 220 will have less to do with that mulcher around. I am amazed with how that cleans up after itself. Very little work left to do after that finishes!
Chris is gonna need a 7 ton surplus truck from c&c equipt to haul this brush hog and the mini ex to job sites for the exploratory stage before bringing all the big equiptment over. Them small trees come down real fast.
IT'S all down to management of the land I've often wondered when you burn off the brush on clearing jobs why you don earth up over the burn pile of seals the fire in making it hotter it will consume the biggest stumps then after a few day's you can move it about without the clouds so ash I use it small scale for large amounts of weed ECT works very well you know when it burning right all you get is white steak coming out great content fantastic footage thank you for sharing
Nice piece of equipment for a contractor. A Land/Home owner would only need a good mower deck for maintenance, after the initial clearing and mulching process.
I looked at buying a mulched and skid steer as something to keep me busy in retirement and that I could make a few dollars with. I watched several videos of guys using these things and with enough experience on one, you can knock out a lot of work in a short amount of time. This one looks like an excellent product that you’ll probably see more of on TH-cam. I know that a lot of guys are making a decent living with theirs. I’m retired and mostly need to stay out of my wife’s hair.
Wow, that thing rips it up real nice. 6:20 It sorted out that tree very nicely. 29:20, better than getting a grinder in and tearing out the stump or even getting a team in with one of those machines that take a whole tree in the chute and turn it into chips. One man band is the way to go.
Decades ago, we had some land around a creek that needed clearing, and the only option then was a crew of men with machetes and chainsaws. This machine would've made quick work of it.
I believe that is the best mulch job (consistent size debris) I've seen. Those secondary stationary cutters make a big difference in the consistency of the output. Very nice piece of equipment!
I’m impressed with how well this machine maintains head speed (by sound) have seen and been around a number of these mulchers and they don’t seem to maintain the drum speed nearly as well. Maybe you are using a lite touch but very impressive. Good operator allowing the machine to operate with in its abilities.
The heavier the drum, the better it keeps its energy/speed when cutting the same "bite" that exceeds the power delivered by the engine/hydraulics. Of course, the tradeoff is more time needed to spin up the drum again after the RPM dropped. Keeping the RPMs well thus means a heavier drum - and a driver who knows not to stall it out all the time.
Chris ,you have been needing one of these for a long time and now it looks like you got a dandy of a machine maybe you can show Hank from Hamiltonville farms how to correctly use his
I love the way you are mowing lawns these days, (hope you got this joke) love this mulcher, looks like you'll be having lots of fun with this one! Love what you do, love the videos, thanks Chris!!
He just talked about his friends whole tree chipper not being enough and then trying to mulch whole trees. I bet it would b good to cut logs and then mulch the little stuff
Chris, I’ve been hoping you would buy one! Talk about clean the trail on your fence lines! I watch idigit4 , Davon is demoing one right now and he wants to buy it! You did great Chris! I’ve seen Davon running his and the worst thing you can hit is barbed wire, it wraps up around the drum and he’s had to get down and cut it out with a small angle grinder or cutting pliers! Good luck brother, good buying as far as I can see! I love watching those shred up some stuff! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s a beast of a mulched Chris and wow what a fantastic result you’ve made in such a short time that is one hell of a mulcher . But then again the way you research and make sure of any machine you are interested in or going to invest time and money into you always make sure it will be right for you and perform the way you want. Looking forward to more vids of this in action even if preparing sites You have to clear and work further on
If you’re looking to expand your company, I suggest going into the mulch business. If you keep all the trees from job sites you’ll have and endless supply of mulch money. Hire a buddy to deliver for a fair price and I think it will work. Either way, I do like the new toy.
You can close the front door and tilt it forward and itll mix the chips into th dirt and turn it into powder once you get used to it. They take awhile to get used to.
Hey Chris, at 3:51 in the video, by that big pine tree, when you went from reverse to forward, it looked like there was quite of bit of liquid pouring out of the right rear of the skid-steer.
I seem to remember reading about those mulcher heads and sub-soiler units being used on smaller farms and such for field prep or revitalization. Basically a lot of limbs and pieces of unburned or charred up sticks, logs and stumps without rocks get laid out in fields. A mulcher comes along to turn them into so much chips and stuff then a subsoiler is used to turn the ground and put all those wood chips and ground up organics into the first twelve to eighteen inches of soil along with a broadcast of fertilizers. If a lot of wood chips and whatnot are not fully available, then standard fresh green compost gets spread out and worked in for the extra organics. Depending on the sub-soiler unit, it can even grind up rocks of a certain size and hardness like smaller sized limestone pieces about the size of a baseball get turned into a gravel and powder that gets lime into the soils. It's really an interesting thing that if done on a three or five year rotation get to turn not so great soil into some real top notch stuff.
I was wondering how long it would take you to get a mulcher …lol. Congrats Chris…..you are unstoppable now. One way or another you will be able to clear a whole lot of land! It may come in handy at the new Bealey Tract.
One piece of advice I wish someone would’ve given me when I first started with these is tilt down more. Instead of running it level to the ground. Pick the head up a inch or two more than what your doing here and Use the tilt down so it will use the tops of the knives instead of the bottom of the knives try to get your door level to the ground when it’s closed if that makes sense. Helps to keep from throwing so much and it’s less likely to bog on you when you get into bigger stuff
Seems to work better when skid-steer going backwards. Going backwards the head seems to auto-adjust with the ground before the cutters get to it, thus avoiding digging into the ground with the cutters as it can going forwards.
Sweet machine! The result shows that TMC knows what they're doing. Only problem with this (any, really) mulcher head is that, no matter what machine you put it on, there's never enough horsepower, haha. Almost like with your recent video about tree grinders and fuel consumption, there's a reason the big, continuous-operation machines run 1500+ HP. That's a bit much for a skidsteer you want to be able to tow behind a regular pickup.
Scary Impressive!! Shredder, Stump Grinder, Mulcher, Bush Hog all in one! I have seen much larger versions of this on a highway right of way clearing, but to actually see it in action is very impressive!
Nice IDIGIT4 just did a demo on one awesome machine 😊just a helpful tip when mulching downed trees keep them lined up with the track and that will keep them from surf boarding 😊
Finally, for mulching on the surface, this is a reasonable tool. The 'other' mulcher for the excavator is more for delimbing trees and shrubs. Have fun with the new part.
I'd love to have one of those (if I ever get some land & a little bobcat or something to attach to it) but for now I'll just have to enjoy watching you using it 🤷♀️ it's really good to seeing you expand 👍
Oh so this was the 'delivery' that got you waylaid the other afternoon - so great to see you with this. Will be useful on the Bealy Good 90 acre venture in which you are invested. Think Jon and Davin have both used one of these mulchers and loved them.
Hey LD18 The Goonzquad boys have a mulcher like that they took down oak 6 inch they cut down a 3 footer and took them 4 hours to mulch it down to a piece of slab and red pine and gum trees like what you got here, plus a large pile of shale, the one boy has a shale cliff behind his house but he's a nut kinda. They bought some stuff from Kubota the biggest skid steer they made 4 years ago it never bogs down when mulching, they also bought a 120 size trackhoe dont know the model number of it, they're very successful .
Best Small Forestry Mulcher currently on the market. Keep door down as much as possible, grinds much better.
Clear some of your timber then seed it heavy with fescue and your cows will love you forever. Cows love shade when it’s hot and they will have a great place to lay down. I cleared 5 acres in our timber leaving the big trees. There’s always 43 of the cows graze and resting plus there is a water source in there.

And this gentleman is what it looks like when your accountant keeps saying “you need more expenses; you’re gonna get killed at tax time!” 😂😂
So happy to see the organic material going in to the ground rather than up in the air as smoke. Good for the soil, good for the environment.
Game changing attachment right there this is one of the many things I love about Chris he invests his dollars back into his machinery line up makes his job easier as a one man operation Cheers
You Proved the saying of the rabbit and tortoise. When you tried to clear the logs in one go you overwhelmed the head. When you started to shave the logs you became smother and faster. An excellent head for light brush work.
Wow, that European mulcher makes a clear nice job!
That's one off the most professional mulchers I've been seen 👍👍
Chris one has to remember in Europe there is no burning of brush or trees in clearing jobs, everything is chipped, including the stumps.
European clearing jobs is the brush is chipped up up, and if the chips are burned, they are done so in a carbon capture facility and not released into the air.
The days of the big job bonfires is over in Europe, and soon in the USA.
All these new machines, must be the end of the year for write off. Love it.
Why would he try to "save" money just for the government to tax him and then send to Ukraine.

My son had about 40 acres mulched on his place. Give it 2-3 years it will grow some great grass. Where these really shine for a farmer is pasture and field encroachment. Saplings and briers can be removed quickly. He started with blackberry and sticker vines so thick that the deer would go around.
I got distracted by a phone call and thought I'd come back to watching John at "Upstate Brush Control" Lol
Good gracious! That’s a beast! Quick work and great results! That thing is truly a trail blazer!
There’s something soothing and very satisfying about clearing land… as long as you have diesel and hydraulics working for you!
Congratulations Chris on your new toy.
''Hey everybody it's Chris with Upstate... I mean LD18 Brush Control" it's time to get John back for a TH-cam cross training. Great addition to the toolbox.
Best mulcher on the market today. The trap door will come in handy when you don't want to throw debris 100 ft out in front of the machine.
Congrats on the new toy for your arsenal. A few things I have observed by watching @idigit4967 aka IDigIt4. He has his TMC- CANCELA Mulcher head figured out! He keeps the head rolled back. This keeps the uncut material under the head and prevents it from shooting out the back. He uses the lift arm to adjust height from the ground, not by rolling the head. Trees are kinda like onions, they peal off layers easier from the outside, than cross cutting them. Mulchers work more efficiently when cutting with the grain. There is a major learning curve, it's quite a bit different from using a bucket.

Hurray finally; Was wondering when you would finally get a unit as you are doing a lot more work that warrants having a mulching machine.
That mulcher looks like a tough machine, and it does an amazing and fast job of mulching!
I have to say that I am impressed how well it take care of such a large tree.
That’s a really good looking stout mulching head. Looks like something that would have been built here in the states 20-30 years ago.
Holy cow I that is quite a attachment for the skid loader I am sure you will find a lot of use for it !!

You can feed any mulcher enough to make it slow down.
you learn best travel speed through different brush conditions, to maximize speed of clearing.
Considering that is a high flow TL12V2, I'm surprised at how quickly it bogs down.

Decent bit of kit, mulcher heads are so useful if you can afford to own and operate one.
Like that a lot better than John has with Upstate Brush Control..leaves it a lot cleaner

He just talked about his friends whole tree chipper not being enough and then trying to mulch whole trees. I bet it would b good to cut logs and then mulch the little stuff
Chris, I’ve been hoping you would buy one! Talk about clean the trail on your fence lines! I watch idigit4 , Davon is demoing one right now and he wants to buy it! You did great Chris! I’ve seen Davon running his and the worst thing you can hit is barbed wire, it wraps up around the drum and he’s had to get down and cut it out with a small angle grinder or cutting pliers! Good luck brother, good buying as far as I can see! I love watching those shred up some stuff! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s a beast of a mulched Chris and wow what a fantastic result you’ve made in such a short time that is one hell of a mulcher . But then again the way you research and make sure of any machine you are interested in or going to invest time and money into you always make sure it will be right for you and perform the way you want. Looking forward to more vids of this in action even if preparing sites You have to clear and work further on
That's a nice unit for mulching the smaller trees and brush. Perfect unit to keep a tree stand looing like a park!
If you’re looking to expand your company, I suggest going into the mulch business. If you keep all the trees from job sites you’ll have and endless supply of mulch money. Hire a buddy to deliver for a fair price and I think it will work. Either way, I do like the new toy.
Bealy Good here we come. That going help on the clearing jobs for sure
Looks like a beast of a mulcher. Would love to have one for my property but I have too much slope on my property.
Yep had no trouble mulching any of what was in front of it bro, hope it becomes a great asset to your line up of toys. Safe travels. Ken.
Will make a really great addition to your fleet and agreat help in your work. Keep up the videos. Really like the content
You can close the front door and tilt it forward and itll mix the chips into th dirt and turn it into powder once you get used to it. They take awhile to get used to.
Hey Chris, at 3:51 in the video, by that big pine tree, when you went from reverse to forward, it looked like there was quite of bit of liquid pouring out of the right rear of the skid-steer.
It water from when I washed it that was caught in the belly pan
I seem to remember reading about those mulcher heads and sub-soiler units being used on smaller farms and such for field prep or revitalization. Basically a lot of limbs and pieces of unburned or charred up sticks, logs and stumps without rocks get laid out in fields. A mulcher comes along to turn them into so much chips and stuff then a subsoiler is used to turn the ground and put all those wood chips and ground up organics into the first twelve to eighteen inches of soil along with a broadcast of fertilizers.
If a lot of wood chips and whatnot are not fully available, then standard fresh green compost gets spread out and worked in for the extra organics. Depending on the sub-soiler unit, it can even grind up rocks of a certain size and hardness like smaller sized limestone pieces about the size of a baseball get turned into a gravel and powder that gets lime into the soils. It's really an interesting thing that if done on a three or five year rotation get to turn not so great soil into some real top notch stuff.
I was wondering how long it would take you to get a mulcher …lol. Congrats Chris…..you are unstoppable now. One way or another you will be able to clear a whole lot of land! It may come in handy at the new Bealey Tract.
There is a Bealey Good video with a bit of mulching.
One piece of advice I wish someone would’ve given me when I first started with these is tilt down more. Instead of running it level to the ground. Pick the head up a inch or two more than what your doing here and Use the tilt down so it will use the tops of the knives instead of the bottom of the knives try to get your door level to the ground when it’s closed if that makes sense. Helps to keep from throwing so much and it’s less likely to bog on you when you get into bigger stuff
Seems to work better when skid-steer going backwards. Going backwards the head seems to auto-adjust with the ground before the cutters get to it, thus avoiding digging into the ground with the cutters as it can going forwards.
Sweet machine! The result shows that TMC knows what they're doing. Only problem with this (any, really) mulcher head is that, no matter what machine you put it on, there's never enough horsepower, haha. Almost like with your recent video about tree grinders and fuel consumption, there's a reason the big, continuous-operation machines run 1500+ HP. That's a bit much for a skidsteer you want to be able to tow behind a regular pickup.
Scary Impressive!! Shredder, Stump Grinder, Mulcher, Bush Hog all in one!
I have seen much larger versions of this on a highway right of way clearing, but to actually see it in action is very impressive!
Nice IDIGIT4 just did a demo on one awesome machine 😊just a helpful tip when mulching downed trees keep them lined up with the track and that will keep them from surf boarding 😊
That does a nice job! Would be sweet for making a walking path thru the trees!
As long as it is not in the Pacific North West, it might be classified as forest fire hazard. :)
Finally, for mulching on the surface, this is a reasonable tool.
The 'other' mulcher for the excavator is more for delimbing trees and shrubs. Have fun with the new part.
I'd love to have one of those (if I ever get some land & a little bobcat or something to attach to it) but for now I'll just have to enjoy watching you using it 🤷♀️ it's really good to seeing you expand 👍
Oh so this was the 'delivery' that got you waylaid the other afternoon - so great to see you with this. Will be useful on the Bealy Good 90 acre venture in which you are invested. Think Jon and Davin have both used one of these mulchers and loved them.
Hey LD18 The Goonzquad boys have a mulcher like that they took down oak 6 inch they cut down a 3 footer and took them 4 hours to mulch it down to a piece of slab and red pine and gum trees like what you got here, plus a large pile of shale, the one boy has a shale cliff behind his house but he's a nut kinda. They bought some stuff from Kubota the biggest skid steer they made 4 years ago it never bogs down when mulching, they also bought a 120 size trackhoe dont know the model number of it, they're very successful .
