Started out watching lawn mowing vids.... Now I'm hooked on these videos.
Love that machine!
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying the content! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Excellent video of seeing how well the XCT will get the job done...and done well!! Very enjoyable to watch!!
Thanks Steve! It was definitely the perfect tool for the job for sure! Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching and commenting!
That is some gnarly landscape lol
Nice job and cool piece of property!
Thanks for taking the time to make us another great video!
Thanks Adam! It is definitely a cool piece of property for sure! Just waaay too many yellow flies LOL!
That machine is a beast also ! Always nice to have the right tools for the job 👍🏼
Keep up the good work !
Thanks Joey! Yeah it is quite the beast for sure! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Even though you'll always hear people talking about a drum mulcher, that MTL really kicks ass!
Yeah it does! And for work like this it is perfect! For this grassy brush and weeds a drum mulcher would probably be a bit overkill too. I mean it would do it, but I think for stuff like this a rotary head is the way to go. Thanks Adam!
Love the tree chipper. Lol
It’s amazing what this machine can do! Now you see it now you don’t! 😊👍
For sure! This thing amazes me all the time with what it can do!
The deer running through the field while you mow was awesome!!!!!
A very good munchy video. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this video I love that machine I can watch it all day long
Ditto!
Thanks to both of you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Nice job and video like always
Thanks Donnie!
Bag. A big. Buck. Out. There. Watching. From. ALABAMA
From thick jungle terrain to manicured lawn. Great job
What I love about some of your videos and videos like this in general is it’s something of an adventure. I remember exploring as a kid and in a sense this brings me back to that. Thanks for the great content my friend!
You did a great job in very heavy brush! Best wishes.
Thanks Tim! I appreciate it!
I like the video.
It's amazing machine
The area looks great now!
I always cringe when I see tree branches with bag worm webs in them. A few decades ago I remember Kentucky lost quite a few horses mysteriously. The entomologists and veterinary doctors figured out the bag worms were the silent killers. Trees in the pastures and paddocks were infested, the worms would drop to the ground where the horses would consume them along with the grass.
It took time to kill the bag worms. Cut the branches/limbs/trees and burn them, use wasp spray, or both, which some liked a little too much. Canned wasp spray and a lighter 💥🔥!
Thank you, Davin, and hugs to Mysti!
I want to mow my tiny suburban grass lawn with one of these things just to freak out my neighbors.
Hope you don't have a HOA they might call national guard 😉 😬
I have a suggestion for you to help you with mounting your camera in different places. Since the roof seems to be the best place, you might want to consider making some sort of steel cage with an open front and either bolt or weld it to the top of the roof so when you have to deal with brush that might knock the camera off that the camera is protected and the brush would then just bend out of the way and not hit the camera.
Great job, enjoyed watching it
Does my heart good to see tallow trees turned into so much mulch. Hate those things. Unfortunately you have to dig out the root mass or it just sprouts back up.
Wow bro. That’s the hardest I ever saw you push the MTL. I think since you bought the Prinoth munching got more exciting. MTL did a great job on a tough job. Way to go! Big Al.
I was thinking the same.
Thanks Big Al! I can tell you I have pushed this cutter much harder on other jobs! This seemed like it was pretty easy actually, other than the stumps that were hidden in the brush. I think the hardest I've ever pushed this head was on the underbrushing job I did earlier this year on the farm job where I was cutting and mulching those gum trees. Glad you enjoyed watching!
Awesome job really tidy at the end.....Stay Safe
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed watching!
He charges by the number of ‘good little ways’ he has to clear.. ;-)
This machine does a good job doing the Munchie.
Yes it does! Thanks Cyndi!
Hard to stop watching!
LOL yeah I get that comment quite a bit Sandra! Glad you enjoyed the content! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love your videos and appreciate you posting them; I just wish you’d show them start to finish. At the end of the videos it shows you did so much but you didn’t show it at all. Anyways, am happy with that I can see. Ty.
I really enjoy watching you do this "clean up and out" work. The kid in me gets a kick out of it. I'm guessing you expect to see some dead fall and stumps and even hidden ditches while doing this work. You might not be happy to find them, but they're not totally unexpected. I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind. What is the most unusual man made item you have found hidden in thick cover? What man made item caused the most damage to one of your machines? Thanks for sharing these videos!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Munch only grows. Great action these past days, that intersection will be a great place for a flak tower, er, stand, indeed. Nice look to that now.
Flak tower! 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah that's just what we need around these parts for all the wild hogs! Glad you are enjoying the content William!
Great setup for hunting for sure good job
Thanks Scott! Yeah this should be quite the place to hunt for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Have you ever considered perhaps modifying the XCT to have side-gates you could pull open, possibly with hang-chain guards or something, like the back of a three-point brush hog? Obviously, that would be rather dangerous in any kind of populated area, but a lot of your work seems to be in reasonably remote settings. Seems like that might be a possible way to allow some of the material to exit, instead of bogging the cutter quite so much when you're just plowing through lighter stuff.
X
Great question Dan! I've never thought about the side gates actually but that's a good idea! I have thought about cutting the back out but I kinda of like the fact that there is some protection there I suppose with the metal guard enclosure on the back. What I'd really like to do is put an additional front guard on the front that is higher up that will keep material from falling back over onto the cutter. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@idigit4967 seems like a taller front guard would definitely be helpful, I'm thinking of some of the ones I've seen fitted to drum-style mulchers that would really help keep the junk off the top. On the flip side, that would also make the mower a lot physically taller and reduce your ability to get under things with it. Would that be a problem? I mean, still way shorter than the skid-steer so not a huge deal for normal use, but would prevent you from reaching under low growth and stuff as well.
I have always been looking for wild game to flush from the property you are doing there and finally got to see a bird flush from in front of the machine. Have expected deer to break from their beds.
Yeah that turkey gave me a scare LOL! I am surprised I haven't seen any deer out on this job!
Would like to see your progress using a drone.
If you don't mind about how much does jobs like the go for or was it a biding job
Munchie, much prefer watching you run the MTL to the Prinoth. The Prinoth is like watching paint dry. The MTL is real action.
Noted! Thanks for the feedback Bob! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
It seems to cut better when you slow your travel down and don’t bounce as much
SALUDOS DIGIT4 ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. G.B.Y.A. NICE JOB WELL DONE.
what is the next step in clearing that land after you get done ?
I am hooked on them too.
Nice you stopped to miss that turkey nest.
Yeah she scared the heck out of me LOL! I didn't cut that row over any further just in case there was a nest in there! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@idigit4967 She was on eggs for sure. Your first pass down would have had her into the next county but for the nest. 👍🏻
Looks really good brother. I really need to get me a skidsteer and MTL to do some clearing at home and at a dog rescue for trails
Thanks Jeff! This is a handy setup to have for sure! Skid steers are just so versatile, there seems like there is just an endless amount of attachments you can put on these things to do jobs with!
Muy buenos tus vídeos saludos abrazo grande desde Argentina 😊👍
Thanks Eduardo!
The drum mulcher has it uses but the MTL is more fun to watch. It clears more area faster.
Yeah for mowing jobs like this the MTL really is the way to go! Thanks Diane!
Great machine. So what is the duty cycle on the blades for that machine? Do you keep spares and resharpen or was that a silly question given the nature of what it is cutting?
Nosa que potência de máquina 🤔
Oh my, this machine is amazing. I really need one of these for my bush.
Tell me more about it please, name price etc. Great job!
Great question Dina! The skid steer is a John Deere 329E, the mower is an MTL Attachments XCT 72" brush cutter.
You must have a big bush
Bryan Littlewood 😂🤣
If I was cutting all that, I’d do what I call double passes. Meaning I’d make a long cut, then I would go right back over the same cut, and make another pass down the same one that I just did to make sure each row was cut right down as low as possible.
Yes it would take a little longer to do it my way but, it would look a lot better and it would be as low as possible. And I know what I’m talking about because my daddy owns a tremendous amount of land in northeast North Carolina.
In Currituck county / Camden County / Pasquotank County / Perquimans County / Gates County & Hertford County. In PERQUIMANS / GATES / HERTFORD COUNTY,
Him and two other business partners, Own many acres in these counties. All totaled, 7,678 Acres. In the 1st 3 counties, Daddy owns 11,885 Acres. I spend nearly every day in the seat of a CATERPILLAR SKID STEER MOWER Set up just like yours….
👍
Good Job on clearing for those food plots,I did some of the same stuff this past weekend with a bush hog...I hate those dang deer flies..got bit way too many times this weekend....🤬...Good Job Again !!! I wonder if that turkey had a nest there ?
Thanks Gary! I hate deer (yellow) flies with a passion! I get bit and swell up BAD! I think she may have had a nest in there, I didn't cut that row over any further just in case! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Look for the old fashion water filled fire extinguishers or just a backpack sprayer for fighting smaller fires caused by plant matter getting too hot. 2 to 10 gallons of water so a lot longer then the dry chemical units and you can refill them easily without any special equipment. Yes not good for electric or fuel fires but the point is to get the burning grass/weeds out before it gets to that point.
Yeah I picked up a small ABC fire extinguisher that I keep in the cab with me now just in case! Thanks Andrew!
The Munchie show delivers again. IdigIt4 You grow it. “I’ll Munch It” best T-shirt hoodie ever will sell like crazy 😜
🤣🤣🤣 Now that is a great idea for a shirt! Hopefully I'll be offering some merch soon! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I guess when he gets trails like he wants bushog 1 or 2 a year stay in good shape
Someone needs to make a 1st person video game app for brush mulching. 🤷🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣 OMG that would be awesome! This comment just won the internet for the day! Thanks man!
Munchie Show #2!
LOL pretty much James!
Hi, I have a question you might answer. I always keep my bush hog blade sharp as I cut a field with fescue.. Never no trees etc. But I need to cut some small pines, bushes, wild rose down soon. Maybe 6" tall trees. I have a 4 wheel drive JD 32 HP with front end loader. Its strong. What you suggest a dull kinda blade or sharp. I don't want to puncture tires!? Thanks..
Great question Steve! I would definitely suggest sharp blades. If they are sharp they will cut and mulch the material more efficiently and make smaller pieces of mulch. Also, since they cut better it is less likely that they will cut clean through the larger material and not leave anything sticking up that could puncture a tire!
God sharing my brother👍
Thanks for the visit! 😃
G'day Davin, I am Australian and although I feel significant kinship for the US and people like yourself I still know relatively little of your culture.
I mean this as no criticism of or disrespect to yourself as you are merely providing a service for a client and I can determine nothing of your personal attitudes with regard to it.
I also appreciate that under such circumstances you probably cannot comment on the ethics of a client's requirements from a personal perspective without incurring potentially adverse consequences for your business.
However I cannot help speculating regarding some aspects of this presentation upon which I hope you are willing to elaborate.
Is the property intended for 'hunting' as in riding cross country on horseback?
If not, then is the work you were commissioned to perform intended to facilitate efficient control of feral pest species or otherwise simplify acquisition of game meat comparable to use of a 'deer stand'?
If not, then I do not understand what kind of 'hunting property' can have tracks cut all over it purely for the convenience of comfortable access?
At risk of stating the obvious true hunting is an ancient and venerable art which is not subject to distinctions based upon cultural considerations therefore every truly serious practitioner should abide by the same rules.
The spirit of hunting is for a hunter to employ their skills against wild animals in an environment as naturally pristine as possible where the animals are truly and completely wild.
No tracker dogs, no horses and no other exceptional advantage of any kind beyond personal skill and preference for permissible weapons.
In this way animals can employ every advantage with which they are naturally equipped otherwise where is the challenge and therefore satisfaction or validity in proof of achievement?
True hunting should not gratify due to the act of killing because that is not what it should be about.
It should be about acquiring and honing knowledge of wild animals and their habits and demonstrating competence at exploiting that knowledge more skillfully than prey even if only to yourself.
It should be about developing skills in bush craft such as blending into an environment and tracking wild creatures while approaching them as close as reasonably practical yet remaining undetected by them.
Awareness of any environment which is home to a species being hunted should be honed to such an extent that potential dangers like venomous or otherwise dangerous plants and creatures or other hazards like local weather and terrain can be avoided but not, by requiring clear cut tracks for easy, comfortable, convenient access in relative safety.
Cut the back out that mower .....and replace it with hanging chains
so you can mow closer to the ground and keep going forward without clogging
Hey, that might be a good idea! I might look into that, thanks for the idea!
👍
👍👍
Thanks Tom!
Does your JD have high flow?
Interesting video. Hard and slow to cut. Very slow working.
So, what happens with all the roots? I would’ve thought a breaking disk would’ve done a better job. But plenty of ways to skin a cat.
they need to leave a bit more there so they can hunt the cats needed for skinning.
They are going to bring in a tractor with a disc and break all of that up, it just needed to be cut first so it would be easier to disc!
@@idigit4967 Definitely makes sense since its going to be pulled with a tractor, if it was behind the cat they could've just driven over most of that, i have an ancient old rome breaking disk, guessing it weighs something like 13,000 pounds. 12' wide.
We're is the new brush cutter.
Great question Larry! For small, stringy grass and brush this cutter works a little better as it spins up faster (like a lawnmower) and is better for this type of material!
What is a food plot ?
how many ackers was the job
Maybe an acre or so.
Looks like the machine is a little under powered for that cutter
What state are you in?
I think he is in North or South Carolina... But I could be wrong...
🤔🤔🤔
South Carolina
I think it's time you do a little bragging on yourself and pat yourself on the back. You are that good. You do a better job with every video. Job well done.
Thanks David! I don't proclaim to be the world's best operator for sure, and I try to learn something everyday with this, that's how you get better! And I have definitely gotten better with my filming, just through trial and error and the feedback in the comments letting me know what people like to see! I appreciate the compliment and for you watching and commenting!
Want to sell your XC8T? MTL is sold out.
That'd be nice LOL but I'm gonna keep it, if I upgrade to a bigger machine in the future, like 100hp+, I think the XC8T will perform a lot better with increased hydraulic flow.
Thanks for sharing again. Do you not like your XC8T? I know your thinking of a upgraded Deere. If you have time check out my RUclips channel. I have a 2 min hi light video of my 333G and the 84” XC8T I took down 8” mulberry trees with hardly any stalling. Check it out. Really in joy your videos. BB.
Keep buying this blade tool, it is not suitable for these jobs, it takes the roller with hammers.
cut all trees down
YOUUUU COULDVE HAD IT ALLLL DONE....BUT TALK TOOOO MUCH /QUOTE FROM MY BOSS ''''LETS GET TO CUTTIN'''
