Love this thing. There are a ton of acres around my home where a weed eater won't do it but a full size machine will not fit. Like a 3ft wide strip between a building and a steep hill. It's rough terrain and a real challenge to manage. There is also a soft area near a flood zone where a heavy machine would just sink. Plus this thing fits through the fence gate.
With that size cutter and the size of the mini skidsteer it would be the perfect thing for cutting walking paths or mountain bike paths in wooded areas. Also would be perfect for trail maintanence on existing paths.
Personality. The head needs to be a foot wider on both sides. But, i get the concept. The machine is built for tight spots, with that being said, those TMC heads are the real deal
This great little mulcher is like a crevice tool on a vacuum cleaner; just the right size for hard to reach areas but too small for a big room. I really appreciate the demonstration. Could that Bosch Rexroth engine handle more hydraulic flow? Seems that a faster spinning drum would be ideal for this material.
I just 'discovered' these mini mulchers about a week ago. This video is a coincidence. Nice to see you trying one out. This thing would be perfect for my needs :-)
Looks like the one Outdoors with Eric was using. Fits thru the gates in a backyard, and would save your back. Looks like it Chops up larger brush than the Flail mower!!
That is a neat little rig. Don't want to burst a bubble but Ventrac with the tough-cut 68-inch bush hog could handle that particular area for probably half the price of the machine. And also have a larger cut. Of course, it won't mulch it up, but with the versatility of the Ventrac, you can always have another clean-up attachment with you, such as the power bucket and or landscape rake.
Ferntree sells an OSMA SSK 90 and SSK 100 mulching head for STL's. Downside is that these heads are rated for 35+ hp and at least 15 gpm. This head seems perfect for most STL's with a 25 hp motor and 13-15 gpm hydraulic systems. I have been looking for a mulching head to compliment my Blue Diamond mowing deck and this would be a sweet addition. THanks.
Even though great for small spaces I bet it is hard for you to be patient with it doing such small amounts after using your big equipment. It would be for me.
I saw OutdoorswithEric had a similar setup on a Vemeer machine cleaning up scrubs and vines behind an old funeral home. I would love to use that on a friend's horse farm here in Oh. that I help her with as much as I can. She is 91 yrs old. There are several places that would be perfect for.
They should make a TMC that has two mulching drums rotating in the direction as to draw everything up and into it which would eliminate material being shot out under the machine 😊
Wpu;d be a great little machine for backyards and smaller spaces where you still have a lot of brush, but limted space for a bigger machine, just not good for hotter weather.
Two guys with weed eaters spinning Oregon brand mulcher blades would probably handle most of that but they won't grind up the debris nearly as well. Maybe one guy with a walk behind brush mower would do the same work for less outlay?
I have to kind of agree, you’re in between that and buying a mini enclosed cab with a mulching head, much saver and have air conditioning, sitting down etc.
@@whatis569 You're not wrong. A good mini skid with a mulcher head is ~$30k. You can hire 3 guys for 4 months or 2 guys for 6 months for 40 hours a week at $15 an hour for that price. But I do know that myself working alone can clear about an acre of one inch thick brush in a day with one of those mulching blades. I'm old and fat. If I can put up those kinds of numbers despite being old and fat, then hiring a 2 man crew is probably overkill for the vast majority of these kinds of jobs.
@@2015_Rubicnn This thing didn't impress me in the least. A flail mower would have done a better job, cheaper and faster. For the price of this attachment, there are better options. Maybe with different teeth on it and different operator, my opinion would change, but it still took him forever to do a small area.
How much do they cost? I’m looking at the CID bush hog for my MT 100. I would probably guess these are in the $10-$15,000 range. Great job as always Davin.
@@idigit4967 Davin that sounds more realistic. It will be interesting to see people using these on RUclips. You definitely did a good presentation with it today. Most of the projects I work on I sell myself as the company that can get in tight areas. Maybe one of these will be in my future.the one thing I noticed was you had to back up a lot and hit it twice. Do you think when it gets the new carbide teeth it’s gonna be the same?
needs a wider mulching head on that . and a diamond sharpener/ grinder will sharpen carbide cutters easily ( wet grinding ) and dude wear proper protection . your not in an enclosed cab , you dont even have on a full face visor on
I like this but if you can sharpen a carbide saw blade what are you saying you can’t sharpen carbide teeth and to be honest I have cut bigger trees with my brush hog
Only thing I think this machine is missing is a "Roll Cage" which is strong enough to protect the operator from "Widow Makers" and if you install the "Roll Cage", why not put a perforated plate roof on it as added protection from the "Widow Makers" and the sun as well.
This baby machine is being demonstrated in the wrong context. The work it is doing, is best suited to a larger machine. Perhaps if it was demonstrated in a very overgrown large back yard property, it might be useful.
You've got me tempted to rent one of these things just to clean out a narrow strip along my back yard with fallen trees and fairly heavy brush. Can't run a mower because there's far too much loose stone in there, but it would be ideal to convert into a wildflower garden for butterflies and bees.
Generated, heat is the nemesis to machines, after a half day, it will fall on its face😮😢major loss of power, then it cools down, and back at it, then come 3 30 it’s back on its face, come 4 15 , back up and running, heat is a problem
It seems like a very capable machine but I'm not sure of the application. Why not just use a skid steer mulcher? This machine although it's capable, just seems like a lot of screwing around.

Great job Devon.That little mini Munchie does a fantastic job. It is ideal for landscape projects!!
What a perfect area to demonstrate that baby's capabilities! Enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing!👍👍
I could have used this machine a million times over. I like that it is small enough to get into back yards !!! Nice work !!!
With that size cutter and the size of the mini skidsteer it would be the perfect thing for cutting walking paths or mountain bike paths in wooded areas. Also would be perfect for trail maintanence on existing paths.
Personality. The head needs to be a foot wider on both sides. But, i get the concept. The machine is built for tight spots, with that being said, those TMC heads are the real deal
That's what I was thinking as well if the head was a bit wider
This type of narrow machine would be perfect for those hard to reach jobs like in between houses and sides of fence lines.
There is a RUclipsr lawn guy here in Michigan that uses a Vermeer mini skid with a Ferntree? mulcher like this. He does a lot of work with it.
Outdoors with Eric
Does great work

Awesome demo Davin! Wonder if that head is available w/o a case drain cause the bobcat mt100 doesn’t have one?
This man is making it harder to hide bodies and easier to find Bigfoot lol.

Nice little machine.be good for close areas around buildings or homes.good video.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Good job and video Brother. You are right it is for a niche market
That would be a landscapers dream....
"...To stand, where no man has stood before..." Take care, working off that open step cab when the head's raised.
Hey Davin, how's the ac on the new machine. What are you going to do when you hit that Yellow Jackets nest.
Machine looks good cutters aren't bad little narrow but not bad what happens when you hit a beehive with no cab
That's a badass lil unit!
Great for small spaces.

All that bouncing around while standing would make for damn long day.
When I buy one of those I am gonna carefully and precisely select only properties with gum trees and weeds to clear. Should be successful.
It’s a mini munchie 🙏♥️
Hi Davin & it''s is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Davin & Friends Randy
Fantastic job today and you might ought to look into getting a face shield
Cool little machine but I’d still rather have a skid with a A/C cab that keeps the hornets away. Thx for the vid.
Hey Devin, I watch another channel #outdoorswitherik, he has one of those.👍
How wide is the cut? Looks kinda small. Although it is doing the job.

That's a nice mulcher head. The only other one I've seen is the SSK model. There's not too many out there for mini skid. Thanks for sharing.
Follow me for footage and info on the OSMA SSK series for mini skid steer
@wpog8453
i could use that at my home u can come to Shreveport La. and visit just bring the mulcher
I would Rent it...but wouldn't buy it.
If...I was a Landscaper. I would just hire out a guy like you. With a full on brush-mulcher.
What if I had the tip of a boulder sticking up in the lawn? Will the carbides handle that?
You need one with all the city jobs you do it would be perfect 😊
I wonder if that head would work on a Ventrac. Seems like the mulcher would be a good match for it.
Does the Wacker have the 24 or 36 inch plate? You’ll need an adapter plate to run it on Greg’s machine if he has the bobtach plate.
How much would this setup cost and do the have a military discount or would your discount be better
Impressive machine. Do you see this as something you would add to your equipment? Could you use it for touch-up and hard to reach areas?
They should make a TMC that has two mulching drums rotating in the direction as to draw everything up and into it which would eliminate material being shot out under the machine 😊
Wow loved that machine!! Was thinking for some of your "intown" jobs you do, this one would be perfect Im sure! Anyway, great vid!
Wpu;d be a great little machine for backyards and smaller spaces where you still have a lot of brush, but limted space for a bigger machine, just not good for hotter weather.
That unit is cool af
Better than a brush hog. The brush hog would have left big splitters for your tractors tires to get flats with the next time you mowed it.
I Definitely Like that Machine..😎👍✅
I might have to Look Into Renting One of Those.😎

@@hhazelhoff1363 fully enclosed skid steer with a mulcher head is a big buy for big jobs. This job clearly isn't a big job.
I'm sure this attachment has its uses, but in my opinion. A hydraulic bush-hog on the front of that thing would do the job faster, easier and cheaper.
A brushhog is not doing what a mulcher can do.

@LastCall534 I have a flail mower and the mulcher does a better job.
You have all the fun stuff in the USA! 😂
for sure the small head is ideal for small area between three
Diamond wheel for grinder will reshape those carbides
It's too small for your jobs. Dangerous standing on this equipment. Nice looking piece of equipment.

It would be interesting to compare the performance of this mulcher with a 48" hydraulic flail like a Cangini TC or a Peruzzo
Nifty little machine.
I can see that something that this is only good for small application. Like small back yards and cutting trails.
Seems like its best use would be for cutting and maintaining single track dirt bike/ mountain bike trails. Not much else
That hydraullic motor is enormous.
Is it just surface grinding but how deep will it go
needs a wider mulching head on that . and a diamond sharpener/ grinder will sharpen carbide cutters easily ( wet grinding ) and dude wear proper protection . your not in an enclosed cab , you dont even have on a full face visor on
to be honest i think that should have some kind of guard to help the chips drop sooner on the front. just for a bit more safety.
Nice video Davin.
Cute little machine ya got there…. Looks stable????? Thanks sir
How wide is it n how much it cost
The bad thing about that machine is you are in the elements sleet, snow,rain or heat.
Nice, gas or diesel engine?
Diesel
just a guess, im thinking this little machine is somewhere in the 50,000 ranch as setup here.
You can sharpen those carbide teeth just like I sharpen my stump grinder teeth
Great video
Very nice
The cutting head needs to be wider.
What model Kreedom Sunglasses are those?
i’d want a wider head add fingers to keep tall stuff saplings away from me. a debris door self sharpening teeth or non sharpening teeth
I like this but if you can sharpen a carbide saw blade what are you saying you can’t sharpen carbide teeth and to be honest I have cut bigger trees with my brush hog
Yeah but you can't get a bushhog through a 36 in. Gate into a backyard 😊
I would like to rent on😢 of them for are gun club are they in Michigan
i like very much, wish it was just a littler wider
could you put it on a mini exvactor
It would be a matter of fabricating a mounting plate and pin mount
Only thing I think this machine is missing is a "Roll Cage" which is strong enough to protect the operator from "Widow Makers" and if you install the "Roll Cage", why not put a perforated plate roof on it as added protection from the "Widow Makers" and the sun as well.
Just 1 people ❤ much love love your youtube
Where? How much? I'm lost Wheres the flow setting? I guess I'm just spoiled 🤪🤪
Too small for your jobs. Might be useful for backyard jobs, or where accessibility is an issue.
That's exactly what he said. Perfect for landscaping companies that already have a stand on skid steer.
Gdzie w Polsce kupię taki mulczer?
Better bring a mask and eye/head protection.
I was thinking a full-face motorcycle helmet

Ciao puoi mandarmi il link dove poterla comprare?
Rent this thing? Nah. I'd rather just call you.
No cab mulching is a BAD HORRIFIC idea. I have heard of too many people hitting ground hornets.
You hit those even mowing.
I'd probably be more concerned with ticks but regardless I thought the same thing he's driving through bug central

Many landscapers don't own skid steers but do own these smaller mini skids.
It is narrow enough to fit through many backyard gates that a skid steer would not be able to.
