Forestry Mulching A Pond Bank With The Fecon

- Forestry mulching a pond bank with the Takeuchi TL12R2 and the fecon. This is another site for the water company and I have mowed around it before with the brush cutter. They are wanting to keep up the pond bank to better maintain it and keep some of the limbs and leaves of the pond. There were some pretty big trees on this one I took down but pushed in the woods instead of grinding up the whole thing. This will be another site I will have to keep mowed with the brush cutter a few times a year. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #Fecon
🔥🔥🔥 IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD DAY WHEN THE MACHINE DOESN’T GO INTO THE DRINK
🤣 that is true
Howdy Elites! 🤠 Great video and be sure to get your Valentine a little something. 👍
Hey buddy I will do that 👍🏻😁
Howdy!
Wow, that looks good.. I hope they tip you well. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Thank you! They were very happy
Looks good! Keep hammering!!
Thanks man! I miss that machine!
There is something very satisfying about watching a Fecon video! Now you just need to find yourself a "Josh and Willy" to help you out. Love it!
I agree I found myself watching more of it when I was trying to edit it lol! I’d have it made then 😁. Thanks for watching
Man! I was looking at those trees thinking no way 🤣 I stand corrected
Yeah it impressed me. I wasn’t sure about some of them but I took mine and went slow. The fecon is a beast! Appreciate you watching man
Hi Mr elite awesome video glad you learn how to do that from John from upstate
Thanks! Yes he was very helpful
Awesome job Brandon 👍
Thank you! 👍🏻
You and that machine do really great word . Keep that up and they will try getting you on steady!!LOL
Thank you! It’s impressive for sure! Appreciate you watching
Awesome job
Thank you!
Watching the Fecon eat is like go to the buffet, what to eat next?? ..looks good
🤣 no kidding it’s an eating machine
Another job nicely done 👍. Looks great, have a great weekend and stay safe.
Thanks man! Same to you
There were some big trees in there. Good job!!!
Thanks man! Yeah I was impressed with it! Hopefully it’s not still raining there
@@eliteearthworksllc we getting ice now. Lol
I use to listen to Slipknot and Tool while I was mulching. 🤣 Made for fun time. "F*** you tree!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 yes that’s pretty much all I listen too
Yuck it’s been snowing all day but it’s only 2 degrees so it’s powder
Great job! 👍
Thank you!
That thing is a huge chain saw lol good man
Yes it is 😁. Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Awesome. Its like a tub grinder but without the tub 🤘
Lol yeah I guess it is! Thanks buddy
Don't know where my half completed comment went, but I'm glad to see you posting again, with these 70+ degree swings in temperature, and ice on the road, I'm not going outside if I don't have to, and I think I've seen the rest of the internet. 🙄
Lol yeah this weather is something else. I’ve been editing videos all day trying to get caught up so I can get back on schedule. The ice is no fun for sure. Appreciate you watching
Major transformation
Thanks man! That’s what I love about it
Looks awesome - great work! You learning from one of the best in USBC
Thank you! Yes John is the man at this stuff! Appreciate you watching
How nice! I left a comment and went back for another peak and see the "odometer" about to turn to "20K"!!! Sonny
Lol thanks we are getting close 🤞🏻
Good job Brandon, you look like a professional
Thank you! I appreciate that!
WOW! Look at your thumbnail picture compared with the picture at the end of the video! NICE! Sonny
Thank you! 😁
Man Brandon that is a damn good looking setup, at least it's color matching right, haha, thanks for sharing buddy, look forward to the next video. 💪🇺🇲
Lol exactly love the color match. Thanks man appreciate you watching
Ill be watching !
👍🏻 thanks buddy
Nice job
Thank you!
Another fine episode of Missouri Brush Control. Going at it like an angry herd of hungry beavers!
Lol thanks man! I’m really liking this thing!
Love your videos bud but can we get some Jason works alot Elite videos again yeah actually talking about live streams . I miss those days but I still support your videos and appreciate the time you take to share. Thanks Brandon 👍🏻
Thank you! Yeah that would be fun I haven’t talked to Jason in quite awhile he’s been pretty busy. I appreciate that and for you watching
Looks like you had the ideal situation for that unit. Cleaned things up nicely and being nothing else was going to be put there it was just exactly right. Enjoyed the content 👍
🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
Thank you! It really changed the look of it. I was impressed it took down the big trees just took my time on them. Appreciate you watching
Great job Brandon, looks a thousand percent better!! They have got to be pleased with the job you have done for them. Take care,be safe Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Thank you! Oh yes they were very excited about it, huge change. Thank you for watching!
nice work
Thank you!
Great vid man! I get asked all the time “why do back up so much” and “you waste too much time backing up” but they don’t understand that when you back up and drop that head to the ground, mulcher or rotary cutter, it really processes everything down better and makes it look really nice. The drum mulchers really do a nice job of leaving a nice fine mulch if the job needs it, way better than a rotary cutter. The end result looked great!
Thank you! Yeah it’s crazy how everyone wants to help you get the job done faster or think you should. I usually respond with maybe I’m not worried about the speed of the job but giving them the best quality job. I work for myself I don’t have a boss harping on me to get to the next job quicker. I think you and me are a dying breed because we are more focused on quality and not quantity. Yes I want to make money but I also love what I do and I want to blow people away on every job. Most contractors anymore have the that’s good enough mentality. Look out for my next vid on Monday I have a little IDigIt4 joke in there 😁
Yessir that will work Brandon.
Thanks buddy!
Wow! That thing is bad to the bone! I have a fireman friend that does that as a side job but I've never gotten to watch him work. It's amazing how much better it looked once you were done. Good job. Stay safe bud.
Yeah it’s a beast! I was impressed what it chews up, really cleans these sites up thanks for watching again man
Going to look really nice when your all done with it and they should be really happy with it. Keep up the great videos
Yes and it will be much easier to mow and maintain. Appreciate you watching
That things a beast !
Yeah I was impressed with it!
awesome job, love watching your videos and the takeuchi is amazing machine!!!!
Thanks man! It’s beast and a blast to run!
Thanks for the video Brandon the falcon makes short work out of that brush looks awesome 👍👍
Thank you! Yes it cleans things up nice I think. Appreciate you watching
You know Brandon, you're having way to much fun with the Fecon, time to really look for one you can afford to spread that Fun around. 😅. Hope you've fully recovered from your Covid and aren't having issues with the Long Haul problems I've heard about. 👍
It’s a blast! I’m doing great the only thing I get from time to time is some pain in my back which they say can be from inflamed lungs still but my breathing is back to normal. Appreciate you checking 👍🏻
@@eliteearthworksllc glad to hear that Brandon. 👍
Thanks again
Top operating skills , you’re the man 👍👍🇬🇧
Thank you I appreciate that!
Clean up now is good to get the trees off of the dam, which could cause a dam failure. Also provides future income to do maintenance mowing.
Thank you! Yes it should be much easier to maintain and mow now. Appreciate the comment
Man, that looks really nice and made some excellent mulch. We were commenting that you looked like one of the Terminator machines there a few times!
Lol I can see that. Thanks it does clean it up nice! Appreciate you watching
You give new meaning to a game you may have played as a kid, "Pick-up-Sticks"! You went after some big boys today with ease. I notice you're rotating the head more as on the first one you weren't sure of when to do so. Quick learner and we thank you for sharing. Was a nice ride-a-long. HUGS to them! Sonny (CT) (Shout Out thanks to JOHN@UPSTATE too)
Lol I did play that game. Thank you! I feel like I’m getting it down especially with John’s advice that was a big help. Appreciate you watching
I see you have made the dumpers of house garbage find another place after opening up that site Brandon. The sigh saying stay back 300feet seems correct after seeing those chuck coming out they would certainly hurt.
Lol yeah they will have to go else where. Yes it will throw some things I bet even further than 300’ lol! Appreciate the comment
Looks like it would be boring after a day or two. Good video.
Thank you! I enjoy it plus it kinda keeps you on your toes lol. Appreciate you watching
I would love to have this kind of toy! Great job "Operator Extrordinair!"
Thank you! Yeah it’s an awesome attachment man!
That's asking a lot for an attachment to take out trees that large. Quite a piece of equipment. No wonder you want one in the future to go along with your new Takeuchi Skidsteer. 😉
Yes it’s very impressive! I was surprised on some of them. Yes I can’t wait to get the new loader 😁 appreciate you watching
seems like it would be more efficient to use the excavator and burn it all, but that brush cutter makes it look good without the stump removal...
That only took like 6 hours and yes it’s better to leave the stumps it would have loosened up the pond bank. Appreciate the comment
It's awesome watching that monster eat. That was some serious forestry work. Is that still some post covid cough or are you back to normal seasonal junk?
Yeah that was the biggest stuff I’ve mulched so far. Yep it’s post Covid junk they said it could last up to 3 months. It’s just annoying now lol Appreciate you watching man!
That's alot of mulching!!
Yes it was 😁
Making America Grass Again! lol
🤣 yes!
The camera does not show how much work you actually got done and how big some of the trees were. Looks good 👍🏻
Thank you! Yeah it’s tough to tell and I really couldn’t find good places for the camera where you could actually see what was going on. Appreciate the comment
Tree-be-gone 5,000,000!
🤣 yes!
very very good job sir looks like you mite enjoy killing them trees,haha.
Thank you! It is addictive 😁. Appreciate the comment
Brandon really looking good. Can you tell if the teeth are worn down any. MRS. Elite it's your turn now. Y'all take care and be safe.
Thank you! No I guess they don’t really get worn down they will eventually just break. I tried to get her to run it again lol! Appreciate the comment
@@eliteearthworksllc Just give her time then she will
Yep that’s true
@@billyshumate853 I wouldn’t mind running it again! It’s fun destroying stuff 😂
@@mrs.eliteearthworks You got that right
Back dragging separates the men from the boys...
That’s right 😁
That Fecon sure guest the business done. Doesn't much seem to care what you put in front of it either, just sorta goes to town on it.
Yeah it’s a mean machine! I’m impressed with it. Appreciate you watching
you need to get the fecon down tight to the ground on your backward passes and it doesn't sound like you have the machine at a high enough rpm
I didn’t want it throwing dirt everywhere I run it in the ground when I hit all the stumps. It’s wide open 👍🏻
I will be taking down a lot of brush this spring to get more space for parking, Guess you don't take on work in Norway ? :-)
I guess I could I’ve always wanted to visit Norway so why not do a little work too 😁
@@eliteearthworksllc You are welcome at any time :-)) Just remember to bring the equipment :-)
@@hjemoghageservice appreciate that and I will!
Brandon does thise workcations all the time when Ms. Elite kicks him out for a couple weeks, but I bet she makes the trip to Norway.
@@littlefinkle7757 🤣 that’s right. She will definitely make that trip
Someone cutting the bigger trees with a chainsaw, and the FECON coming in behind might have made this just a little quicker, but far less entertaining. Good job again.
Maybe but your right definitely more entertaining this way plus this only took 6 hours start to finish. Appreciate you watching
Hi Brandon!!😀😀
That is one heck of a combination.
Takeuchi and Fecon!!😀😀
I was really impressed on how big of a tree that rig will cut down and chew up. What a beautiful job when it's done!!😀👍👍
Are you guys getting all the cold weather and the big dump of snow?
It's been just bitter cold up here in central Wisconsin. It's been single digits during the day and - 5 to -20 at night for the last week and is not supposed to let up until Wednesday.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
The big coochi!!
Yeah it’s an impressive machine! Yes it’s horribly cold especially for us. It’s like 4 right now and tomorrow the high is 0 with 8” of snow on the way. We’re not use to this 🥶🥶. Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc That's really cold for you guys.
I follow a logger by Springfield and he said his temps were about the same. But he was saying they were supposed to get 15 inches of snow by them.
We have been on the cold side of this with not much moisture. But we have been getting a inch or two every other day. But it's a really dry snow.
Yeah I think we’re suppose to get a little less but this cold is horrible it hurts 🤣 it’s been a weird weather year so far
They ment so you can maintain it better.
Lol exactly! Job security though. Appreciate you watching
I love these machines, so fun to watch running, like a brush hog on steroids. Have you watched any of the other people here on youtube running these things? Upstate Brush Control and V-belt & Son both seem to have enough experience doing the work to have good systems down for working it. What I was thinking, is knock the ones on the dam over, then use the mini-ex to get the material where you work it without having to be all over the dam or have trash fly in the pond. Check those two out, especially upstate to see what I mean. Not trying to insult ya none, brother, just trying to knock some of the learning curve out for you if you do get one.
The people I see locally advertising for work with these advertise trail building for horseback riding or subdivisions to have nature walks, right of way maintenance, see them down in retention ponds fairly often, and for farm field edge reclamation. Best of luck with it, thanks for the videos.
It is fun and yes I actually talk to John from Upstate Brush Control on the phone. He gave me some good pointers. I didn’t have the excavator around and was going to another site the next day so I just got it done with what I had. John was the one that told me about going over the stuff backwards too. Appreciate the comment
That skid steer looks like it might be underpowered for that Fecon. I've seen this a handful of times in person before and I've never seen them bog down and stop the way your machine does. Seems to work for you though and thats all that matters. Did a good job.
I think it was something with the head cause it never pulled down on the loader engine and it was pumping 40 gpm. It worked great for me appreciate you watching
Which Fecon head is that?
I hate working that close to the edge of the pond you never know what the ground is going to do with a machines weight on it I've come close to losing a bobcat skid steer once or twice
Yeah that is true there were a few soft spots it was a little spooky. An excavator would have been a better fit. Appreciate you watching
Somewhere some tree hugging environmentalist is loosing their sh💩t over that Fecon 😂😂
Oh yes 🤣🤣 I’ll just tell them I hugged it first 😁
Yet almost everything they own came from natural resources...
....and I want to watch them, popcorn included 😂
@@littlefinkle7757 That's right!
DC.... although I’m not one to advocate violence... tree hugging could demand hazard pay with a Fecon loose in the woods!
You know eventually you will be doing the rest of it.
That’s probably true lol
Wondering...Has Chris ( letsdig18 ) spoken to you since you switched over to the dark side??? 🤔🤨 He loves a mulcher! 🤣
🤣 yeah he doesn’t really care for the mulchers
Chris is all about the 🔥! For real!
Lol yes he is
That mulch head just doesn't seem to be up to speed, really I would go as far as to say it's a dog. I would be very unhappy with it's performance. It looks like it's the Bullhog head, but if it's the Blackhawk, that explains it, the Blackhawk is junk IMO. It's good for briers. Did you check your Aux. flow menu screen to make sure it's at 100%, 40.4 gpm, cuz that's what I'd be shoving down it's throat. I run a G4 on the exact same rig w/carbides and it will walk the dog in 4" to 6" material. I don't think that PC is correctly set for that head. Oh well, you did a nice job, turned out great. You just had to bust your butt to get the desired outcome. Take care!
I’m not sure which head it was exactly but it was set at 40gpm I saw that on the computer. I don’t have much experience on mulching this was my first one so I have nothing to compare it too. Thank you! Appreciate the comment
That bigger excavator and a couple gallons of diesel fuel and a straw bale would be more fun.
That is very true 🤣
02/13/21•Dear diary,
Today I went to the woods for some quiet time. To my dismay, the calm was broken by a mighty roar.
At first I I thought it might be a bear But, to my knowledge, bears do not beat on wood.
I hid in hopes that the beast would not find me. Yet, I hoped my safe harbor would permit a glimpse of it. At last I saw the monster from which the roar arose. It was red & white with huge black feet.
Alas, I’d spotted the elusive Bigfoot.... Sasquatch in the native tongue.
While searching Google to find where to report my sighting, I ran across a Company called Elite Earthworks. Right on their RUclips page was a video showing the beast in action. And there I learned that it was not a Bigfoot. Oh, no.
Instead I’d seen something far more fearsome and elusive. I had witnessed the terror of the North American Coochie.
Dear Diary, please keep my secret and comfort me, from beneath my pillow, as I try to sleep.
That is good stuff right there! ...and yes many a wood has the coochie disposed. 😂
@@littlefinkle7757 it was either going to be a Feral Sasquatch or a Fecon Coochie! Getting too close to either would make me shiver too much to sleep!
🤣🤣 that’s great! I believe you just a named a new monster! It’s definitely a beast! 💪🏻
🤣
How do you charge for that work?
I just charged by the hour cause I’m new to it and it’s tough to how long it will take by looking at it. I took the price of the rental for a week, fuel, transporting it and what I wanted to make for a week added all that up and divided by 40 to come up with the hourly rate
Just doesn’t appear you have the right equipment for the job, I believe you brought a knife to a gun fight. Glad that is a rental unit.
Maybe I got it done
For some reason I have the urge to sharpen all my pencils.
🤣🤣 that’s funny!
Same!
What teeth are you running??
These were carbides
Esse caramarada e mto ruim de servico
I`m slightly disappointed in you Brandon, I wanted to hear you shout `it` a least once.
🤣 I said it in my head if that counts 😁
@@eliteearthworksllc NO!
Lol sorry I’ll get you next time 👍🏻😁
@@eliteearthworksllc I`ll be watching and waiting
