      Motherfucker, you know that it takes vegetation to produce the % of oxygen in the air that multi-cellular organisms need to survive right? How about California stop creating fires? I am not convinced the sun is doing it.

    Killer machine. I'm also impressed at how quiet the cab is. When you run or work for a land clearing company, that cab is your office. There's good reason modern equipment has all the creature comforts. More comfort = more time in the operator's seat before fatigue sets in.

    Manzanita, primary fuel for a fast travelling fire. The manzanita burns high and hard and ladders it right up into the pine canopy. Once that happens in windy conditions, there is no fighting it. A friend of mine in malobu Canyon had a house with a swiming pool acting as a surge tank for a high volume sprinkler system. He still lost the house because the wind borne manzanita embers went right over the "wet zone" and his own landscaping burned back into the house. People out in the subrban areas that live along the brush areas need to learn more than stop, drop and roll..... A weekend spent learning fire safe practices on the cal fire website can save a lot of misery.

    I know a guy in central ca that runs one of those prime tech 300s. He runs a tracked chipper paired with it in areas where he’s going to take down a bunch of trees. The masticator or mulched will take down the tree and the tracked chipper with grapple arm then chips it. Saves a bunch of time versus the mulched trying to chip up the tree.

    Back in early 2000s we called these things hydro-axes. We would rough take them centerline for road and they could mow down 60' right of ways off centerline faster than we could give it to them. We kind of dreaded them because we had to work faster than them, which was impossible. 2008, 2009 housing crash happened and it has not gone as fast since. We are due for another boom. Keep them maintained and we will race you again.

    They used the kubota skid steer but some of the steep terrain they cleared is almost unwalkable but they drove in and out like it was nothing!
    In Alabama, 12 foot pines 4 to 6 feet apart, steep and rocky! They may not have finish mulched it nearly as close because of rocks but I was impressed!

That stuff kills saw chains, super hard, so it was more amazing to watch this machine rip thru it. I am looking into starting a business doing this. Can you please tell us what you charged for this job. It would help figure things. Per acre or something. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    @Vbelt, you mentioned that you guys had to put a rush on this job because you were getting into the dry season.

As a side note, does CalFire contract mulchers on active fire?

    I don't see any use having a huge machine like that if you have to sharpen it like a small one 4 times a day..... a two barrel team where one barrel is being sharpened whilst the other is working on a smaller cheaper machine seems better $$/time management!!!
    Maybe if it had a wider barrel (triple width) with a bigger diameter that would decrease load on sharpening but the barrel would need to be hollow, less weight.

    We are loggers from Alabama and if I had one of those, it would really make the job look less of an eyesore when we are finished. Just a ballpark guess, $300 per hour?

    Curious to know why one would want to clear the bushes like that? I've read concerns of brushfire. Fair enough. But from a biodiversity standpoint, clearing the whole forest undercover like that is very destructive. This is a genuine question. No harm intended.

    I like prime tech would love to try one out. We have 3 cmi 300’s at work they are really nice too.

    Yesterday I was mulching branches with my 2000watt electric garden mulcher, imagining I was operating a large shredder the tree loppers use but jealous.
    Now I’m imagining the tree looper guys being jealous of these machines.

    Like you said, that 300 series Mulcher sure is an awesome machine. It can do so much, & in such a very short time span. I would certainly like to have one of those myself. I could get somuch done in such a very short time period, & get on to other jobs.

    I'm doing this now on my 8.5 acres. Contractors running the mulcher on an ASV, I'm grabbing the keepable stuff and stacking it up with the grapple on my Takeuchi TL130. DNR picking up half the bill. Good times?

    Hello from Chicago! How much would it cost to bring that big machine out and do this same type of space without government help, just the land owner footing the bill?

    Wow, color me impressed! I live in a similar climate (Mount Shasta) and it seems like a large chunk of my life is spent dealing with manzanita, and I know how tough that crap is, that beast mows it down like grass!
    How often do you get poison oak working out in that stuff?

  • @herbsthewerd1
    @herbsthewerd1 3 года назад

    That looks a lot like manzanita bush/tree (smooth red bark). I think in my area of Southern California it's protected and illegal to cut down.

    ok im not big on stripping the land like using a dozer too clear the brush like they use too do but clearing out like you guys dig is not too bad as long as it gets reseeded with good grass and not the scrub brush like that and i understand why they did it all that brush would have been a huge forest fire problem

    So do y’all just leave the mulched up trees there or do you clean them up and haul them off somewhere?

    • @VBELTandSON
      @VBELTandSON  2 года назад +1

      All mulch is ground up into the dirt and left behind.
