How many “Ticks” were harmed in the filming of this episode? NOT ENOUGH!!!!! Lol
It's a yellow barbed wire finding attachment.
And thats gonna be a bad day lol.....great vid ....but yeah
Soooo, how many feet do you think you can wind up before she shuts down, holy crap.
Just shut her down, remove attachment, strap onto pallet, set it in the corner of shop and back away slowly.
It was a pain in the tail just removing about a qtr mile of bailing twine from a tiller
Hope he doesn't find an old set of bed springs with it. That is, by far, the worst thing I've ever had to get out of bulldozer tracks. Seal killer if you don't discover it in time.
also great for finding washed out active electric cables and hidden car tires with rims
@@prinzeugenvansovoyen732 or rebars...
The one implement that I never expected you to own Chris. But for your needs it is working awesome.
That will work great for steep over grown pond or ditch banks and fence rows. Impressive for a small machine and a great operator. Thanks for sharing Chris.
That’s a really handy tool, great for getting stuff on pond dams and such.
My brother does that kind of mowing with a 6’ Deere brushhog on an IH-656 tractor. That thing has swivel-mounted blade ends half an inch thick so it’s up for it. He backs up to make it easier to knock down trees and can get anything up to 4-5 inches.
Congrats on getting all the new equipment.
Very handy for what you’re doing there Chris ! Keeping roads open, overhanging tree limbs, ponds and ditch banks, right of ways, etc. Never thought we’d see you mulching. Congrats on the new machine and mulcher! 👍🏼
Hey Chris, excellent mulching head! Nice surprise, I was almost giddy when you were teasing us with the hydraulic lines. I saw how excited you were with the unveiling. I’ve been wondering for a couple of years if you would ever get one. Congrats sir. You deserve it. Have fun. Big Al.
Looks like you are having lots of fun with your new toys!
You gotta be loving that new machine Chris. Good for you man. You work hard so you deserve it. Love your videos. Keep doing what your doing!!!
That is a cool attachment. Thanks for sharing the premiere with us.
SWEET!!! Nice setup man! Look forward to seeing you put all this stuff to work.
Imma gonna just continue to live vicariously through this channel. He’s got all the fun toys. I work remotely and I have this channel playing in the background often. Almost better than trains ;-)
I'm glad I was sitting down when you said there are times when mulching is okay. I imagine that machine on an excavator that has a more robust hydraulic system you could go to town. Love the videos.
That'll come in handy the next time you have to cut a road through the woods. You can at least get it cleared enough to see where you are going.
I was going to get one of these for my 60g, glad I saw this before I ordered one. Thanks for the review.
I see a sweet video coming. Chris always has a reason to buy something. I see a clearing job coming up!!
Love the work, all the equipment action. I wish I had done this type work as a career.
SOOO Satisfying to watch! please film another one!
Is called Land Management - clearing out the underbrush and leaving the good trees. Helps in fire season.
The mulch will break down 6-8 months, once it gets wet & some leaf litter on top of it. The soil organisms & fungi will take it back into the soil. Will also compact the amount of branches you have to haul away from lot clearing or could just leave it. The 200' safe zone may be an issue in close quarters. Neat, be fun to see it on the jobsite.
It's takes mulch a hell of lot longer than 8 months to break down. Also once you get past the tree line, it's forestry management, not land management 🤣🤣
@@ronsmith1364 I watched a crew the power company hired as they cleared the right of way in the hunting pasture behind. They had what looked like an overgrown skid loader on tracks with a rig like that up front.
As the guy got down toward the creek, he ran into something that slowed him WAY down. It was a hedge tree about 6 inches across the middle. It had been cut when the power lines were put in, 55 years ago. He never did chop it all the way up, because I hit it with my brush mower the next year.
Tree stumps, if they die, will be there for a decade. The bigger pieces of that mulch will be there for several YEARS.
@Ron K Add to that, the type of wood. Something like a poplar is way less dense than an Osage Orange and will break down much faster. 😉
Gonna be interesting to see you progress with the mulching head. Wishing you continued success
Chris that’s one heck of an attachment! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Luv that china boy
This is the ultimate “hold my beer” attachment.
Lmaoooo HELL YEA. LOL
But now you know why these big Mulchers allways have like 800hp PowerPacks added to them...to run the mulcher xD
@@clemensexenberger2455 Yuuuuupppppp your clueless
And shred the beer can, too!
Hi Chris, That is a handy attachment, brings a whole new meaning to "chop and drop" mulching. I could certainly use something like that along my creek bank.
Nice !! Perfect for all that undergrowth, takes it right on down.... Great as always Chris !! On too the Next...
The forestry mulcher is a great addition to the arsenal, now its time to show us ,how good this setup will be,i love the dozer setup on the excavator
Chris looks like a cat with a saucer full of cream with his new equipment! An immediate advantage, among others, of this set-up is none of the double and triple handling associated with burn pits and burying ash when doing thin out and tidy up work.
I love what you're doing with it...woods with spaced out larger trees not overgrown with weeds and vines looks really nice.
Nice!! The mulch will keep the weeds down a bit. Definitely a good purchase. You'll probably use it more than you ever thought you would. Congrats on the new machine and attachments!
Looks like it works great on bushes and brush bit the little larger material it see.ed to run out of pump capacity... Awesome machine !
Yes it did. Maybe a bigger pump. Maybe a higher speed on the pump
Make sure to keep a pair of heavy wire cutters close by when running that thing because you will find all kinds.
Getting a couple of spare teeth in advance would be a good idea too
yeah a cordless grinder is on the list lol
Yeah it looks a lot cleaner in there! Looks good!👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing brother!
LOVE IT!!! So impressed with you right now. Sure you can’t use it all the time and leave a whole property of wood chips behind but where you use it will look fantastic and stay tidy longer, great addition. I hope you get a big fat crop of mushrooms to eat for your trouble too. Down the track you might even see enough benefit to get a monster one, bloody hope so. Made my day!!!
I see...this was next...and what's to follow?
Awesome...Great demo!
New toy day is always a good day. Lovely bit of kit the mulch.
You guys did a great job of presenting the shredder. A little bit more and a little bit more and finally that cool tool.
You are going to really enjoy that. I have a 42” Vail high speed mower and it will eat a 6” tree also. Just sit it on top and push down slowly. Congratulations!
It's one hell of a portable pencil sharpener! Regards John, Bunbury, Western Australia.
One slip and there is no pencil!
Bit slow
Ventrac would have Finnish by now
That's a fun toy. Big hedge trimmer!
I operated a TimberPro 735C with a 52inch fecon head...it would chew up 10" Dia. Fur trees from the top down just about as fast as you could push the boom down. These heads are amazing
great job clearing out all the rubbish abd some good mulch cover to inhibit future growth, nice work
Top attachment for the edge of dams and roads also Chris.
The snakes are going to dread the sound of that coming.
That is one heck of a tool. Proud for you.
Nice Red Devil and set up and I think better then burning everything down. I like your video's, soothing to look at. Big thumps up!
Good tool for areas with ground disturbance limits
Name is going to stick! Thanks Jason Worksalot!
The guy that does all our water and sewer easements has this very setup. Works great. Flail mower on a mini.
Good product, great video, hope to heck there’s not a mess of wire in the mess, that’s one reason to stay back 200 feet ! 👍👍
You need a bungee cord or something on them hoses to allow for movement.
When you first turned the mulcher on, I thought "that palette is about to die"
Lol I thought that as well then was like surely not cause it would send that thing flying lol
Wrong channel. Andrew Camarata would have for sure lol.
@@tf-lv4zu 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ho yes he would !
no doubt but I wanted to keep it incase I had to return it LOL
I bet it only took about 5 seconds of use before you knew it wasn't going back! :D
The purchase of the new attachment is obviously a good idea, it's potential for smaller tasks in difficult places to operate, you now have most of the market covered Chris. Diversity is the mother of inventory in the contracting field, I remember queried this machine to you Sametime ago, you are mastering it's effective operations very quickly, well done Chris you are definitely a inspirational bloke of my liking, 👍👍👍👍.
What an awesome piece of equipment. Strawberry seems to enjoy all that crunchin and munchin!
Keep the hoses long, Chris! At least until you get the Implement "Someone" has been waiting for - The Tiltrotator with Oilquick coupler, as the first thing among other implement things for Strawberry Shortcake that will change your life! Haha!
Yeah from what I've seen they are quite literally the best thing to hit the construction scene in decades. The Engcon tiltrotator is by far the best. I think there's another one called the steelwrist.
@@lovejcdc You're are absolutely right on that. Used them for decades. Tiltrotators are what we call them as a "thing" here in Sweden. Steelwrist is a brand just like Engcon and not to forget the original Rototilt (or Sandco), which I think are the best. :D
@@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759 Yeah I love those things lol. I am actually a bit surprised there isn't more of them in use here in America. The versatility of them is incredible. They seem really tough as well.
@@lovejcdc 95% of all excavators from minis up to midsize range here in Europe are delivered from dealer with tiltrotators! Talking about versatile diggers, I've an older Huddig, not with electric rotating seat but of course with a Rototilt all made in Sweden. There are only two decent one of this "Swiss Army knife type" Huddig and finnish Lännen. They are used year around for groundwork, powerline work or snow clearing.
The Choice of Big Boy Toys are Endless when you’re doing the amount of Bidnez you’re doing. 👍
Awesome job Chris that attachment is awesome,
Remind me never to tick you off! Im 5’7”. I dont want to be shorter!
That things a game changer. Awesome! Be safe and have fun!
That thing would be a huge help to clear brush out to prevent wild fires for sure.
Big grin - Like a kid on Christmas morning! Not dangerous like the old metal Lawn Darts :-)
Wow, Chris dropped some serious cash on the Strawberry Shortcake project. Fantastic setup!
my bank account had told me this is correct LOL
It's hard to beat a forestry mulcher on a skid steer in terms of clearing medium/light brush quickly, but the versatility of having a more compact one on a mini excavator is bound to be pretty dadgum handy. Looks like a blast!
Nice cutter. I immediately got pissed for you when the limb was hung up and you were fighting it off. Lol. Just like when stuff would fall on my skid steer when I was mulching with it. I tended to say alot of very bad words when I was mulching. 🤣🤣
Congrats on finally buying your forestry mulcher! I've been following your channel for a number of years and I started a forestry mulching company 2 years ago. We have a Doosan 225 fitted with a Denis Cimaf ER150 as well as a Doosan 220 and Hitachi 200 Xazis fitted with FAE mulchers. Try one of those big boys on your 20 ton machine and have a look at the power and production rate-it's awesome. Let me know if you want some clips of our machines in action...Farmers love the product because instead of burning, we are accelerating the decomposition process with the nutrients getting back into the soil... Best of luck with your expansion!👍
Chris has been bad- mouthing mulchers all this time, and now he are one himself.
I think he learned better
He's been pissed off for years bout those comments but like he says for bushes, brush small shit it's great!
I knew there was more to the first video when I saw the blue tarp in the back of Jason's truck. Then when you held up the hose, I said "he got a mulching head!" Why to go, Chris! Rooting for you all the way!
Beautiful machine and even better attachments! Oneday maybe we will have a machine, have many requirements for one but just cant justify the investment and rent them when really needed! Great videos as always Thanks!
This thing is a dangerous piece of equipment. Chris is smiling like a kind in a toy store
Nothing dangerous about it, as long as you stay in the cab. 😉
@@scottlowe5590 With good plexiglass windows and wire mesh? Reason they make forestry kits for those things.
This is actually a great way to clean up the forest floor! The decomposition of the biological material will make a better and healthier soil all in all. We've been testing out soil improvement by using wood chips, compost and old half-rotten hay bales on both marshland and relatively "dead" soil (hard packed, unyielding) for a couple years now. It's pretty amazing how effective it is.
And the snakes will thrive
There is the issue of carbon/nitrogen ratio. The micros that are breaking down the biomass will tie up available nitrogen for a period of time. I would like to see how this outfit would do on a thinning of 12 X 12 to 16 x 16. It concerns me what would happen when this head tangles with some scrap iron.
@@davidsellars4327 regarding nitrogen levels we're using clovers in between plants. Great for capturing nitrogen, and bees love it. Nettles can also be used for nitrogen capture and as leaf produce (especially if you have any fancy-pants restaurants around). For plant production it is important to have enough green plant matter/compost mixed in with the wood chips to make good growing soil though.
@@davidsellars4327 we are also very small scale (my farm is about 24 acres total) so this is mostly research for now. I don't know how large 12 x 12 or 16 x 16 is? The idea of this kind of compost-driven soil improvement and production is Brazilian where they do it in a lot larger scale though.
I guess the total area we're trying it out on for now would be something like half an acre. It takes a lot of biomass to get something proper out of it. For the marshy parts we have 25-30cm of wood chips as a base layer, and then we put a wood-chip and compost mix on top of that to grow in. The base layer lets you drive heavy equipment on to it which would otherwise sink. At 25cm thickness it is a bit much to chip ourselves for the whole area, so I'm looking into getting supplies from nearby forestry operations.
I presume iron in this thing would produce the same sounds as iron in any kind of mulcher. A loud clank followed by an even louder swear word.
@@martinusmagneson what I am referring to is a spacing for residual crop trees. In forestry, there is never a perfect spacing. I shoot for a spacing between trees of twelve to sixteen feet. That gives 170 to 300 trees/ ac. Planting the clover or other legume may be problematic unless it was broadcast seeded after clearing.
I like the bush/tree hog attachment for the skid loader to clean up saplings and tough weeds.
Love your new toy! I sure hope to heaven you're filming when you grind up your first snake! Stay safe!
“Say hello to my little friend” 🤣😂🤣 This be an excellent addition to the accessory cupboard. Well done & take care from 🐨🦘🥰👍🏼
Strawberry Shortcake with a Kudzu Vine killer attached. Man that some piece of machinery.
I think you should check with your insurance agent!!!!
Enjoyed watching nice equipment kichler head!🙂
When I first saw the chains and the warning sign, I thought, Damn! he's gone into the minefield clearing business. What a guy!
You should be able to keep that thing busy saving lives around ponds cleaning them up keeping mowers off the edges...marketing tool.
I just watched some older videos of y'all playing on that mini blue/green rental and of the gang at the auction. After watching them Strawberry looks huge. Personally you need to get you one of those for digging up some night crawlers for fishing.
By the way, love the new shredder. Sounds like a jet engine spinning up.
Looks like something I could have used in Northern Michigan. Clearing down to the river. Have fun.
"Hoses are way too long" that's an understatement lol! I'm impressed it fits on that little excavator.
I’ve ran the mulcher on my skid steer serval times but I love my brush cutter over mulcher. Up keep is a little cheaper for what all I do with it. Love the new machine though
I was curious why he chose this over a mulcher for the skidsteer.
What brush cutter do you run on the skid steer? I'm looking for one. Any recommendations?
@@nandi123 the reason I went with brush cutter is I only do it in the side so cost for one 4500 for the brush cutter vs 25k plus and also the up keep is way cheaper. About 300 to replace blades. I have about 250 hours on the blades as of now and still doing a good job. Brush cutting where I’m at is about 6” and down. If people want bigger stuff down I’ll dig it up and either cut lumber out of it are sale for paper wood. I have a sawmill so I try to get the most out of all products
@@cden-ec7cy I’m running a extreme implements brush cutter. Got off ebay last year. Low flow head xbc7 is model number. Cutting width 72” you’ll at least want 75hp machine or up to run it. My bobcat is t740 and it’s matched well for it
@@blaketerry8569 Thanks! Very interesting.
Now he needs a bigger one for the Volvo. :D
with an external powerpack
The 220 power would drive that mulcher without any power lag that you can hear from strawberry short cake.
A 54” promac rotary mulcher would work good on the Volvo 220. Take down and mulch trees up to 2’ in diameters.. I have a 36
“ on a 160 Volvo and it will mulch hardwoods up to 12” and softwoods up to 20” and it take 140 litres/ min of flow to run it. And it is Canadian made.
Brontosaurus with its own 4 cyl diesel on the head. On the 220. Now your talking. Guy around here got one on a 160. Does. Hundreds of acres jobs. For the state. For bird hunting properties
@@2badger2 Maybe he's just testing it on the 'shortcake cause that's what he has at the time of delivery? I do notice the power lag when he chews into larger saplings, something the larger volvo probably won't suffer.
Heck Yeah. Nice addition to the family.
I was skeptical at first and when you got that branch stuck in there, but it will do a good job keeping the trees from encroaching into your fields and be great around ponds! I know you know Mike Morgan he talked about meeting you. He rented a 90 or 100 HP High Flow skid steer with a Forestry Mulcher on it (big heavy round disk) and it was insane! It's a good thing he only had it a week or he would have 135 acres of farmland instead of trees! It turned everything to dirt in some places to the point he planted seed and now has about 10 more acres to bush hog! But he took the plunge and retired to You Tube full time so he has time! lol
Somehow ... not quite as satisfying as seeing him simply rip things out with the excavator ... and then snapping them into manageable pieces. Kind of like a starter kit. 😁
Thats what I said!
@@kevinkinney5445 Lol
This is a toy compared to the excavator
The problem with this is things trying to escape. With proper 2 cylinder shredder nothing escapes.
I think this attachment should be called "The Beaver". It'll chew threw anything!
And then he’ll have “Leave it to Beaver” episodes.
When I cut standing trees, I place the tree between the cutter head and the chains. Helps keep the tree from flopping around as much. Works well for me. Watch out for wire and tire rims. Good work and stay safe.
Well...if I would have watched all of your video, I would have seen that you figured that out. (Like I figured you would)
Wow!! I need that on a fence row or 2.
For this sort of attachment, Keep an eye on your hydraulic Oil temperature ?
Have fun with your new toy!
Another weapon in the arsenal Thanks for sharing Chris 👍
A good demonstration of what it can do
I think Hell may have frozen over. Chris got himself a mulcher, lol. Kidding aside, they are quite useful in certain situations. Just not land you're planning to work right away because of the stumps left behind.
I too was amazed Chris bought one. After he talks about them not really clearing.
Was thinking the same thing, when Chris has cleaned up behind a mulcher he “might” of complained about them a time or twelve 😜
Finally a sit-down pole saw with a drink holder 👍🤪
Nice equipment 👍🏻
Good work Chirs, you need great tool to make great jobs.
bet it will be good for planting too.
So cool! Watch out for poison ivy juice when you’re cleaning the machine! 🍃
Now that’s a weed eater on steroids!
🤣🤣🤣
But you got a have $100,000 piece of equipment operator with
Nice attachment. You really needed one of these Chris. To see what these things can do watch Upstate Brush Control. They are really hard on their equipment and nothing seems to hurt them. Seems like hitting the dirt with them is ok. Just keep some bolt cutters with you in case you hit some wire, which removes pretty easy. Glad you are happy with your purchase. Something tells me this thing will be on a lot of jobsites.
Happy handsome Chris with his new toy❤
Well thought you would get a full tilt full spin head for a grading bucket! With the tweezer claws on the back. Like Hedblom has!
Chris, you can stop when you get to the South Carolina state line. I think Jon and the Boys from Upstate can handle it from there !
I bet Josh, Willie and Micah would love one of these!
🤣😅😂
Looks like it works best when pushing material into the ground.
Forest Management, cleaning up the underbrush. Overgrown ponds so many good ideas.
