- Let's see how the New Holland Boomer handles the Baumalight Brush Mulcher. Tractor Time with Tim has used the mulcher on the Deere 2038R and Kenton's Deere 4052R but can the blue New Holland do the job?

While everyone is correct a skidsteer with a mulcher head would be the best method.
I dont have any intrest in buying a second 40-60k +/- machine and 10 - 20k +/- mulcher head to sit and collect dust to use solely for forestry.
As for renting 350$ for 3 hours to upwards to 1500$ for a week just for a small skidsteer with a bucket. Would not want to guess what a unit to run a forestry mulch head per day/weekly
Unfortunately we did not have time to get some tall grass thru the brush buster.
Most of what I mow with the machine is not much bigger than what we took on here or smaller down to overgrown grass.
I already own the tractor for multiple jobs around the property & house most of my work is finish mowing, brush cutting, tilling and minor dirt/gravel maintenance, snow removal if we get any.
Thanks again, Glenn! Really enjoyed having you here. Loved hearing your observations on the different machines. Also, very impressed with your mechanical skills! Your add ons made the front brush mower much easier to attach and remove!!!
Renting a skid steer with forestry mulcher attached near me costs the same as hiring one! $10,000 for a Baumalite pays for itself after a few acres of clearing
Still think the Brown Tree Cutter @ $10,000 would be a much better machine. Just my opinion. Just don't care for all that discharge going under my tractor.
The two guys who came along really added to the video. Its nice seeing how others have their equipment set up. And they are comfortable in front of the camera. Great work
I agree the conversation during the action is quite informative.
Great comments and insight. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks folks! Great series Christy and Tim!!
Tim thanks for taking us along on the cleanup
God Bless
PaK
Oh so many cool toys! This project has just featured so much. Can't wait for the next episode!
Enjoyed these two men helping you out , I like the way he set up his New Holland with the hoses.
I've watched every episode of the tower project and think it's great that you all have a sort of testing/playground to run the various pieces of equipment. Great videos
Wow, those are all great pieces of equipment, and I can certainly see where each one would be more efficient to use depending on the project at hand. Thanks Tim and Christy for all the great content!
Was an absolute pleasure meeting everyone and spending the day playing in the brush!
Yes, we had an incredible day. Thank you for sharing your 'blue love' :-)
Great Vidya Tim. The compact tractor market has lots of nuances and caveats when it comes to specs. I have a Boomer 45 with a cab, and it only has 38 hp at the PTO. It makes shopping for attachments something I can only do for my skidsteer. Thanks again buddy. Cheers.
I like how you have used this "Job" as a way to demo many different tools that can be used to complete it. It is a great way for people to see what is available and how the different options really work in the real world. I've been toying with setting up a power pack for my Boomer so I can run more hydraulic attachments and this really sold me on it.
Really cool equipment. Its amazing how the Baumalight can even grind a stump down.
Great demonstrations!!!
Good stuff as always Tim.
Appreciate the drone before and after pics.
That Boomer has run circles around the Deeres in all of these episodes. Kudos to New Holland for building a fantastic machine!
Great job and video tim and kristie and you see there are no threes left after the drone pictures 👍👍
Great information Tim 🇺🇸
I’ve been watching with great interest these brush systems. I’ve seen plenty units that are skid steer systems used to clear power line roads etc. they work well but they leave a rough finish. I’d like to have a setup for my property someday.
Outstanding video. That is some serious equipment. Awesome review. I could spend days on my property with that unit.
Another enjoyable video. I don't see this as a Deere vs New Holland video as it seems more of a comparison of different types of attachments and their capabilities. New Holland makes a series called the Workmaster which may have the same HP as the Boomer series but the hydraulics are slightly less and they also don't have all of the bells and whistles of the Boomer. Green or blue doesn't matter, just keep the video's coming. God Bless!
Love the videos Tim, glad to finally see you add a little class to the channel and added some more blue on here. Just joking, like all tractors no matter the colors.(Just think of those poor saps with no tractors.) Glad to see good folks having a good time and putting some very good information out there. It is just like picking a tractor, the attachment is the same depends what you need to get done and what fits your need the best. We all have different needs and budgets and we need to pick what fits our situation the best, and thanks for all the information you provide so we can make more informed choices.
I'm really enjoying this series and Kudos to Christy for flying the drone around and not hitting any guide wires! That can't be easy.
Hmm...she did crash into a wire. We had to use the 4052 with mini clip all the way up with me on it...to fetch!
@@TractorTimewithTim OOPS! I didn't know that. Oh well, I tried Christy! (you don't have to tell EVERYTHING Tim! lol)
Great series. 👍
WOW, Man that is some thick brush!
Sure makes quick work of overgrowth. 🤠
Forestry mulching attachment for the front of Johnny would be good for this type of clearing. Like a 333G with a 2018 MH60C
It sure looks like anyone using the Brush Mulcher on a regular basis is going to want to have a CAB tractor! :-) I can only imagine the bees and critters one is likely to stir up when clearing dense areas of growth like that. It could get quite exciting on an open station tractor.
We like ‘exciting’ :-). ....well, not always!!!
I always used to have open station on the mower tractor in the hay field. It was bad enough with only grass, let alone brush like this. Mow over a bumblebee hole, every round you'd hope they don't get you, buzzing around the tractor for a while each pass. My record is 15 stings.
Been enjoying watching for about a year now but this will be my 1st comment. Tim & Christy you two do a wonderful job documenting your work with your equipment. I think it is neat you work so well together. I live north of you several hours and can relate to much of what you say about climate and ground, etc.
I found this series especially interesting since I owned a 54D for several months then downsized to a Boomer 40 w/cab. I sure would have loved either implement for clearing my tree line but used what I had (a 72" Piranha bar on my 40). I must admit is was TONS of fun using it. One thing I wanted to comment about was the CVT. When I was around my pond, inching up to the edge with the 54D there was always a HUGE pucker factor as I got my front tires near the ponds edge esp if I had to jam it in reverse real quick. That is where the traditional HS and 2-pedals of the 40 really shines.....instant reverse and no chance of goofying up. Anyway keep the tractor videos coming and stay safe !
Hey, thanks for the comment! Hopefully you won't wait an entire year before commenting again! :-). I enjoyed the CVT...but yea, quick reverse would be a bit more difficult!
@@TractorTimewithTim Nah.....watching your videos has become a ritual and I promise I will not wait so long next time :-) Tim, as a ham operator I want to PM you with a question or two about the tower property. Do you share your address or may I give you mine?
Enjoy seeing what the different equipment is capable of. The drone footage is great. It gives a better understanding of the size of the project and what you guys have been able to accomplish. P.S. Love the title . HaHa
That boomer is a nice tractor and can do the job with that implement easily and I have a John Deere tractor and would worry about that setup on either of my tractors. The attachment does a great job and the operator must know his tractor real well and what it can handle too.
Tim, another home run! Keep up the great videos!!!! GO BIG BLUE ❤!!!, lol
that a big mulcher good job brash get blue tractor good job god bless you &all
I hope you sent the videos you have done there to Subcarrier. Think they would like to know that you did a good job in cleaning up the overgrowth and used it as a teaching tool.
This has been a great project area for all the implements you have been testing out. We drove around this last Sunday and I have a better perspective for the size of the property and the trees your cutting down. soon you will be mowing with a finish mower , it will be so nice.
Shoulda stopped by!!
@@TractorTimewithTim Didn't have a lot of time since the family was due at my house .
Hi Tim and Christy if i had to choose i would take the front mounted brush mulcher nice video take care
Awesome video!
With the final tower clearing project video, I expect to see the building and towers gone while Tim shows off the new building demolition attachment.
I would love to see the brush mulcher on the back of the Kubota Grand L6060. The Kubota has a flail mower connected to the mid pto.this would allow both mulches to work on one tractor. Use the flail mower to break trail in, and then use the rear mulcher to get the stumps down to ground level.
You are going to have that cleaned up in no time I like the grinder the most
In a car cvt transmission there is a chain between two v-shaped pulleys. The chain rides between the v's, around both pulleys. As the v in one pulley moves closer together, the other will move apart. Giving you seamless acceleration. Kind of like a v-belt driven go-cart.
Is this Tim's version of Tom Sawyer and the whitewashed fence? ;)
Great seeing all the different tractors and attachments working at the same job through the series. You are going to run out of trees soon though!
Hay Tim have you thought about using a quick hitch on the loader on the and put the mucher on the front
Would it make sense to have some kind of skid plate under your tractor for this kind if clearing? It sure makes short work of clearing a lot.
little info for the question at 18:00. 6M and 5R are the series that have this joystick. ;) Might be possible that the new 6R will have it in 2021.
I hope you finish around the radio shack in future episodes. Would be nice to see the finished product !
We’ll getter dun eventually!
Great video. I’d like to give the mulcher a whirl. I could use it. Nice video.
The parts illustrations at Messicks for the Boomer 54D shows the CVT "Variator" using a belt and pulleys, very similar to a golf cart or snow mobile transmission. It also does not show the belt available separately but only as a complete variator unit to the tune of $8500.
Wow!
CNH discontinued the CVT Boomers in 2019 or so. Had some problems early on with them which plagued the series. Plus they were very expensive and didn't sell in high volume. It's a shame, though. Seem to be tough units and would like to see more CVTs in this category.
I think the best would be a forward brush mulcher like on a skid steer
The John Deere IVT and Command 8/16 have the reverser on the joystick so yeah 5r/6r.
Yeah any of the skid steer hydraulic mulchers I have used have had at least a double row of chains if not a overlapping rubber belting to reduce the ejection of debris.
Although that makes me wonder if you could use a small hydraulic driven mulcher on the front of a setup like the 54D and get the best of both worlds. Without having a skid steer
I Looked for one the head weight is where most is the problem lies
I’d love to see a Brown Tree Cutter roll through there.
How often will the teeth on the mulched need to be changed. It may depend on the ground material. A rocky soil like my chaliche gravel soil reall ate up the teeth on a commercial mulcher. The machine roller was 9 feet wide and 4 feet high. The operator told me it was really wearing his mulcher teeth out. Those teeth were very large perhaps 3-4 inches wide so they were not playing around.
Front 3pt on a compact tractor, everything would be forward !
Use the power pack and put a 3pt hitch on loader. Mount the treeminator to the front and use a Hydraulic PTO motor. Then you could have the 540 RPM implement on the front.
That Baumalight is one tough cookie of a machine. I'd end up choosing it and then scooping the remnants up with a bucket and having a bonfire.
Christy keeps wanting to rake up the remnants as well. However, after a couple of weeks, they seem to disappear, so I keep talking her out of it! :-)
I’ve watched all the videos in “this series” and I get it, as Tim says, they want to do work with tractors - but to do those tower areas with those thick trees, to do it properly and somewhat efficiently, you need a forestry mulcher on a skid steer. Still fun for us to watch the various attempts though.
Glad you see that it is 'fun to watch'. No one would watch it if we used a skid steer. Would be boring.
I like how you have used this "Job" as a way to demo many different tools that can be used to complete it. It is a great way for people to see what is available and how the different options really work in the real world. I've been toying with setting up a power pack for my Boomer so I can run more hydraulic attachments and this really sold me on it.
Tractor Time with Tim my SVL75-2 might disagree- LOL 😂
I am thinking that even with chains on the front of the Baumalight mulcher there is too much force on some of that material to do much of anything. Maybe this is a good video to show mfg's the reason under armor on tractors is a good thing!
I thought that power pack had the pump integrated into it. A short PTO shaft would be what drives the pump.
I would like to see you try a Brown Tree Cutter on this job.
What's the horse power difference between the New Holland and your Johnny 5? In the next video or so, introducing Johnny 6.
Does that tractor have the swivel seat?
What would be quite nice is hydraulic power pack then a hydraulic drive on the mulcher attached to quick coupler on the loader.
same mulcher is available with hydraulic drive for skid steers.
So you need to tractors. One with the front mower and one to come in behide it and grind it all up. Or get a forter mower what is about the same as the front mower.
Until tractors come with 20 + GPM internal my dream (that is ALL I can do is dream) is a PTO mounted hydraulic power supply to feed: mowers, snow blowers, brooms etc. I would worry about a hydraulic pump bolted rigid to the draw bar and mounted to the PTO spline shaft. I can see a shattered rear end housing. Quick Attach makes the HP35 (80+ HP) that uses a shaft and clutch or shear pin driven pump. M K Martin and Land Pride also makes similar units. These are all expensive but I can dream. The HP15, HP20 and HP24 all look like a bunch of other hydraulic units. I think the ag tractor / implement markets are populated by manufacturers that private label a bunch of other brands. These last videos have been fantastic. Say hey to the camera operator. Thanks and take care.
The New Holland front attachment in the mulcher is it a tractor big enough to run both at the same time
power pack required on rear to run the front mower.
I suspect that some of the hp loss is also to the hydraulic pump.
Definitely luv that all that gets munched back into the ground
I want to see the bigger mulcher on the 5075E
I have an acre or so that is over grown with brush and small (< 3") trees, similar to the tower property. I've used the backhoe to dig out some trees in a small area, but that is slow going and leaves pock-marked ground. Is there an attachment that you'd recommend for a 1025R that could clear an area like that? It doesn't have to be as fast as what you're doing, but as you say, I'm not 25 anymore and it would be nice if the tractor could do the bulk of the work.
Good question. I fully intended to try this mulcher on the 1025r. However, after I got it, I realized that the 1025r would not have enough umph!
Adding a heavy hitch toothbar to your loader would allow you to dig out some of the brush much faster than a backhoe.
Not sure it will get the 3" stuff, but it WILL get the 1-2" trees, honeysuckle, rose bushes, etc.
Maybe you could get them all except the largest, then use the backhoe on those?
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks Tim! I do have a piranha tooth bar on my loader. I had read that the HH toothbar is better at digging and the piranha is better at removing brush. When I tried it (don't remember what size brush I was working on - probably attacked some of the larger stuff right away), either the wheels (R4s) would spin or when I got a good bite on the brush, the hydraulics would go into relief when I tried to curl the bucket to pull the brush out.
Either I've found the 1025R's limit or my technique needs work. I'll try starting on some 1" stuff and hopefully learn some tips for tackling the larger brush.
Make sure you have rear ballast. Get Rimguard. Don’t try to take a full bucket width. Just one or two trees at a time.
Do anything you can to gain an advantage. You don’t have brute force on your side...so you have to find ways to use what little power you have :-)
I’m looking to purchase the MP360 for a Kioti NX5510. Wondering if you could answer a couple questions for me. First, how are the teeth looking on this unit? At $1000 to replace a full set on the 60” they’re not cheap. Have you rotated your teeth at all or are they still going strong? How many Acres have you cleared so far with this unit? What about the belt, still in good shape? Secondly, my main concern is the material being shot back underneath the tractor. The Kioti is notorious for having a weak exposed belly including a belly mounted gas tank. Have you torn anything off the bottom of any of the tractors you’ve used this on? I love the finished product that this machine offers but it’s not cheap to purchase and if it’s even more expensive to operate I may look more along the lines of their CP560 brushmower.
I have not turned any of the teeth.
They look good. I found one which has a small chip in it... but still not bad enough to worry.
Probably 2 acres of this heavy brush cleared with it.
Where is the POV from the cab please?
Tim i have a question, you said that brush mulcher is rated for 45ptohp. What happens if you go over its rated hp?
Maybe gearbox failure, maybe shaft failure, etc...
@@TractorTimewithTim i see
Hopefully it will slip a clutch or shear a pin before something expensive breaks.
We’re do you get the hydraulic pump
welcome to our channel. I think it was quickattach.com ....
At 13:49:you need chains on this mulcher!Look at the wood piece flying!
on the brush mower if lack of chains is for cost reasons i would rather pay the extra instead of possible paying for new hoses or pipe
Another good solution would be if the companies that made the tractors also put removable guards over all of the hoses and wires that run underneath the tractor so people wouldn't have to worry about ripping things off if they run over things or things are thrown. Maybe even skid plates.
Can you not do laps in reverse around the edge like how you would mow a lawn???
Discussed in the previous episode.
No flats? 2. Let's get 4 or 5 wheres the enjoyment? Team your friends and cases of beer
What do each letter in pto stand for
Good question! Power Take Off.
I suppose it is kinda weird nowadays.
I don't think it's weird.
His setup on the New Holland is ALOT of rig for the typical owner. Does he use it for commercial work?
No just use it for my large property maintiance . But yes I have set it up for whatever i run into.
Which baumalight model is that?
MP348
Good job, and the mulcher cost nearly nothing... going to get one for sure.
Mowing videos please
Lawn mowing? Brush mowing? Field mowing?
That will be flat Tire City
This was the point of our discussion about things being cut all the way to the ground. I do not think there will be a problem where the mulcher was ran. I DO think there will be issues where a brush mower was used.
But, you're driving backwards!
needs to be on front of tractor no looking backwards
ok boomer
Man backing into brush and tres can easily put a limb threw your window not to mention your head. You guys are rookies for sure, so your lack of experience shines through... is it good for some things yes. As far as a skid steer goes, I do not like that method either. Put a forestry head on a excavator and keep all the danger away from you... I am not saying it is a nice set because it is. Danger is surely a issue with that set up. Ask me how I know? I swear by an excavator with a mulching head, keep the danger away from you
Too bad we’ll never be as smart and experienced as you. Oh well.
That thicket looks like my farm! That stuff is hard to get down! Every since you Tim got me into a tractor and now a grapple I been cutting with a chain saw. Then grab with grapple go pile burn and repeat. I'm in my 40s. It's a bit tuff but I'm getting there. Your videos have helped tremendously! Keep up the great work Tim and Cristy!!!
