I can see the advantage of the mulcher over the grapple. The one advantage the grapple has is it tears the small stumps from the pine trees from the ground but those small ones will rot quickly. Thank you for the video.
Lance, watching some of your earlier videos, and after some research, I figured out that your mulcher is a Bradco MM 60 or MM 72 depending on the width of the drum. JCB must just put their decals on them. I think other track loader manufacturers source out their mulchers from other companies like Fecon and Diamond, etc. About this video, are you planning on having some livestock on the pasture or are you clearing it for farm land?
It is amazing to me that anything can grow there! The soil looks like it has no organic matter. If you want to make a pasture out of it I would think that leaving some trees and mulching the rest would be better than digging everything up and burning it.
Without knowing the fuel per hour rate consumption comparison and the acres cleared per hour rate comparison (figuring in burn time for the spoils of the grapple), I’m going with the mulcher.
@@honeycuttsbrushmore3244That it does! I have a flail mower with hammers I run behind a 60hp tractor, and I have a root rake for the loader. I’ll mulch everything(under 2” or so)flat and then use the root rake to roll the root mat up. Trees over 2-3 inches I’ll pluck them out first and then mulch them. If I hit the small trees at around 8mph the hammers on the flail mower will pull the tree right out of the ground.
We all do things differently but I usually grub out with the excavator and tidy up with the skid steer. Maybe next time I will do the same as you and see how that works for me

I really enjoy watching your videos well done 👍

The mulcher seems to be getting the job done faster; so I'd say use it first and follow up with the grapple later.

Interesting

What was the difference in fuel usage?
High flow burns much more fuel!

Mulcher does a much better job.... faster... and you don't have all the piles that you would with the grapple bucket
