I think the recovery time and power of that PRINOST is really slow, I would trade it off for a couple of laying hens so I could at least have breakfast every day....
Morning Devon.We got snow here in Durham too. Not a great deal but schools were delayed 2 hours yesterday. I don't like little Munchies upgrade at all. He seems to be slinging bigger chunks of mulch than normal. Wouldn't that make the work twice as hard?See ya on the next one.
even tho, you still got it done. seems like watching you in the speeded up parts that you are very confident in its abilities. i love the speeded up parts because you can see how skilled you are with the machines. hope you had a restful rest of that day. looking forward to the next one. later Gator.
Looks like your Chain Guard is holding up for the time being. And that is something that definitely needs to stay in place. Especially when you're in town.
Goooooood morning, Devin i survived the bad snow storm here in Kansas. Can't wait to see what little munchie ain't doing that bad of a job with the new head
Awesome feed back and love your honesty on growing pains and learning curves of this industry. I am on the fence about buying a mulcher for my Kobelco 45 excavator, since work is slow and already have a Vail 42" brushcutter. Side note I liked your old music with the slower beats. Just my opinion. ❤👍
I think they should try building them out of heavy aluminum too, to take away some of the weight! I keep looking at the mulcher and it’s hard to tell the thickness of the case from your videos! But aluminum in a 3/4” and maybe a 1 inch plate would be strong but much lighter! Just my opinion Davin! I watched a video this morning by the guy from Missouri that uses a Ventrax mowing machine and he cuts through a lot of stuff but the job he had today! He definitely needed a mulcher to do the job! The Ventrax was cutting the stuff down but leaving long pieces of branches! I didn’t care for that, and all he had to do was bring a skid steer and mulcher out on that job and! That would have made all the difference! He was trying to take down scrub bushes and trash bushes that were around 15 feet tall! The Ventrax would only cut the bottom and the top was falling down on him and his machine! To me after watching you, I knew that was going to be a joke! And some of the material that he was trying to cut, he couldn’t cut anything over an inch and maybe a half! The property owner was having to cut the bigger stuff with a limb saw for him to cut it up! Anyway it didn’t compare to your channel! Just saying brother, thanks for sharing Davin! Take care and we’ll see you in the next one my friend! Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes your way. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯
The recovery would be based on the hydraulic pump in the machine and the weight of the drum, not how many rpm the hydraulic motor on the mulcher spins the drum.
Seems the rebound spooling is much slower on this head. Can definitely see how much it bounces you around when the arm gets about halfway out or more. The tmc seems to spool back up much faster. I guess that is probably due to the drum sizes and weight.
Devon drone footage would showcase the field of work your in it would involvea littlemoreediting. A transponder in your cab would keep the drone hovering above at a distance & hieght following you.
The problem is that the rotor is too heavy for your power unit and your tools are made for larger skid steer units. Too big and aggressive for the amount of power and torque you have. It may be rated for that size machine but it is not designed for that size machine. A 45-50 HP unit doesn't have the engine torque to take advantage of a low speed high torque mulcher design (+/- 2000 rpm). The 39 cc has the recovery torque you need but your tool speed is not correct for best performance. You do need a mulcher that is making 2500-3000 rpm with a lighter rotor. That is why we design mulchers specifically for each weight class.
If the diameter of the Drum Head was to be changed from 17" to maybe a 15" inches it would turn faster. And then it might have a faster recovery time of coming back up to speed. Then the hydraulic pump might be able to handle it.
Would I be correct in assuming that recovery response is also a matter of the GPM flow to the head? That a larger, heavier head would recover more quickly with a higher flow? And, if I'm not in the weeds yet with my presumptions, would the ideal solution be that manufacturers of smaller excavators should provide at least an option for a beefier hydraulic system?
I think what you are saying about this higher RPM with the same essentially engine HP means that you are essentially in a higher gear, like adding a 6th gear to a 5 speed transmission. In doing so you trade acceleration for more top speed which in turn will increase your recovery time. I am not familiar with how these hydraulic motors work but mechanically it would make sense to me that this is the case. The only way to get more top speed without changing HP or torque is by adding a taller gear? What do you think? It would be a good topic to cover in a video with an expert in that field? I know I would be interested in learning how this works.
It makes sense that you didn't gain any recovery in terms of time , because it is spinning it up to a higher RPM. But doesn't the higher RPM help you Munch through things smoother and at a steadier pace before it bogs down?
Watching your head compared to before it slows down faster when you engage material. I think you lost the torque you get with less rpms. Its like hp vs torque. Its a math thing. You gained hp but lost torque

It snowed about 2 or 3 inches here at Lake Wylie.

Love how you named it
seems to clear brush pretty quick. but it looks like cutting trees is slowed
No bees for a sweet change!👍👍

Thank you for your honest opinion of the new head.
Good job and video Brother, the biggest way to increase your recovery time is to upgrade the U57 pump or add a secondary pump.

Same here sleeted but too warm to stick. little snow ❄️ got gipt looking forward to something at least. grr.

Great job Devin. And information.
The recovery would be based on the hydraulic pump in the machine and the weight of the drum, not how many rpm the hydraulic motor on the mulcher spins the drum.
I don’t see any better recovery either, I haven’t seen the recovery like the TMC has! I think the TMC mulchers recover the best out of all the others!
Regardless of the recovery a good job done again.
Have they looked at changing the size of the hydraulic lines. From the Tank up the Boom to that Cutter Head.

Thank you for the video🎉🎉🎉. Nice job.

I'm not sure it operated better great video thanks davin
Good video. I liked the music!
I would recommend you try putting the 20 inch tmc head on your machine, and my bet is you'd be much h happier overall
The before & after video would be amazing.

Like The music 🎶 🎵 I would buy
Different kind of machine nice video
You need higher hydraulic pressure or larger hydraulic motor for faster recovery.
Keep up the great work.

Nice video Devin.
That one doesn't do nearly as good as a job as the skid steer one.
Great job but I like the new head.
Awesome job

Torque probably suffers with the smaller motor.
Hi Devon & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Devon & Friends Randy
Does your brother live in Cartersville, GA? That’s where I live.
your recovery time comes from your machines hydraulic pump output which hasn't chanced
pump not up to snuff?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Conbein coûte ton broyeur
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Just like when a Girl is to top heavy. So all that weight out on the end can't be Good for the boom.
🙂
Fantastisch Good work you te best te grasmaaien mulsing te natuur te helpen best fried Top week 🚛🪤🚜🌿🌾🌳🦺🧢👍🥤🌤😎

WRONG MACHINE FOR THIS JOB NEED SKID STEER
Sorry ,30 inch head tmc
