  • This was one INTENSE mulching job! We had to go 600 YARDS through some SERIOUSLY thick brush and trees to make this fire break and Big Munchie went through it like a HOT KNIFE!

    Great camera view. I like that you mounted the camera on your skid steer. It seems more realistic.

    Loved to see this, really nice mulching demonstration. I fail to see however how this is going to protect against fire, where I live in Portugal a firebreak must be at least 25 metres wide, this is like 2 metres at the most...

      Vision is already limited in those thing… no way I’d be able to look up and see a drone… you really just need to know point A and B and if it’s a straight line in between or do you need to add more points

    • @tireballastserviceofflorid7771
      @tireballastserviceofflorid7771 Год назад +2

      Good idea. But don't forget uncle Sam. If he were to use a drone for his land work or for uploading on RUclips he would have to have his commercial drone license. It's a substantial fine if caught using a drone improperly. And possibly even criminal.

    I know you do what the customer wants done but in Australia that's the width of a hand tool trail taken down to mineral earth. Done by volunteers of the RFS in NSW , wish we had a Munchie . What does the customer expect this to achieve in thick scrub like that ? It wouldn't stop a camp fire.

    Owner needs to hire a timber consultant to see after property, he receives a percentage of timber cut, well worth it, he will mark your boundary lines for you and advise you best way to take care of property, he bids out the timber for you and you will get the best price, this usually pays his percentage and then some.

    Guessing an accurate property line is so last week with the advent of GPS guided harvest machinery. Stand directly over each corner pole and program waypoints on a mulcher mounted GPS guidance program like all the hick farmers use to autosteer their properties.

      Us hick farmers know how to find property lines in spite of being technologically challenged. But the contractors we hire are always in a big rush and eff things up. I paid a guy to build barbed wire fence, and he put the damn thing several feet inside my property line along the county road easements. That's equivalent of giving away several acres of farmland to the county. At $13.5K a mile I'm not too happy, since I told that little punk to put it exactly on the property line. There were no obstacles, no rocks, no trees, nothin. I don't need equipment operators tryin to make decisions for me.
