Yep that's all the customer wanted to pay for.

In this situation it's required by law to cut the vegetation in retention ponds once a year. This one was about three years over due. I understand people don't like seeing trees cut but if California would cut some trees to make and maintain fire breaks they would save thousands of acres of trees from being burned by wildfires. People don't educate themselves on stuff like this and don't like seeing trees cut so they push laws that prevent ANY tree cutting which in turn allows wildfires to destroy hundreds of thousands of acres of beautiful forests, homes, property and costing some people their lives. People see something and instantly approve or disapprove of it before taking a small about of time to get the whole story or doing 2 minutes of research.

That tree took 4 years to grow not 20. How many trees got cut down to build your house?

@@zachmatthews2452 more then 20 I bet

I agree but the customer didn't want me wasting a lot of time/money making it look good because it's the bottom of a retention pond and no one could see it anyway

Yes that particular head requires high-flow although I think they make some low flow models

No just a state worker. Play normally use that machine for digging and just bought ahead or when they need to trim up some trees. It's definitely not how I would set one up. I'd go with a smaller machine and a power pack.

D

To be honest I never checked that.

Did you ever figure it out?? Mines doing this now

Read the other comments... That's what the customer wanted

Tune was too hot

Not a cracked piston that’s normal if it’s deleted

@@taylorhollingsworth6994 normal? Kinda what I thought to but im lossing coolant like crazy. No on ground or in my oil. I think it's just vaporizing. ? Thoughts? Thanks

@@richardlittlepage9069 same exact thing that's been happening to mine since Xmas did you find anything out? Mm

Yeah if that's all we did with it but this machine rarely grinds. It's mostly used for moving dirt.

Highly doubt you could chip 26 oak trees and stumps then spread out all the chips evenly across an acre of land in a day. Smallest tree was 14 in. across biggest was 39 in. across. Not to mention a chipper able to handle trees and stumps that big would cost somewhere in the $400k range then you'd need a lowboy to move it. I guess you could always rent one but they only rent them by the week and then you're looking at $8k to $9k for that. Oh yeah and you still need another machine to load the trees into the chipper but hell if you got it spend it.

Yeah I definitely plan to but first I need to find one that has a decent diesel tech so I don't have to be without my truck for a month

Good luck man, those are hard to find. You might have to plan for you being without it for awhile, especially if it's the TC or trans related. Dealerships are usually backed up too. I wouldn't plan on this being a quick turn-around unless it just happens to be something small/easy to correct. Is it throwing any codes?

@@monsterram6617 no ses light on and I don't have a scanner for it. Well I don't have a real scanner so if the light isn't on it won't show anything. I wish I had one that had live data stream so I could see what the tcc apply solenoid was doing when it happens.

I'm not that familiar with the rams.

Dude pull the motor....are you sure that was a crank seal?

Matej Dolšina somewhere around 16,000lbs

Thank you. Can you get tracks from steel for this machine? What do you think about Energreen Robomax? How would you compare performance between 2 of them?

Jack Pinnell These machines are such a great alternative to clearing under brush and small trees by hand or even with heavier equipment. Virtually no hand work and you're not disturbing the soil which prevents you from having to implement some form of erosion control. $1,000 a day rental doesn't leave much room for profit that's for sure. Just don't do what I see a lot of guys do when they first start out and charge a very low hourly rate just to get business because a lot of your business will come from friends of the people done work for in the past. I've seen more that a hand full of guys go out of business because they were only charging $85 to $100hr.

Flatted357 No I haven't had the opportunity to try a Cimaf head yet. I've heard they're great heads especially if you do a lot of bigger tree's. I priced one for my excavator and it was roughly $10k more than the fecon but that's with the tilt option which you can't get with a fecon. I also find it odd that it's almost impossible to find a used Cimaf head but used fecon heads are all over the internet. Cimaf said it because they're so good nobody gets rid of them but I doubt that's the reason.

Programmer was turned up to much for the way I was driving it that day.

C Moon jd r

yea those pistons fail but that one looks like injector problem to me. cracked piston usually makes a even puff when the cylinder trys to fire.

Did it happen ?

@@deepintheheartband "rips your head off" Lmao

Marco Oliveira stones mess up the knives really bad but they do make teeth for it that can handle the stones.

What is the cost of this attachment aproximatly with good teeth Zach?

Marco Oliveira for Fecon you can expect to pay $25,000 to $30,000 depending on the options. There are cheaper brands out there but haven't had any issues with the Fecon that we have.

@@zachmatthews2452 Hi Zach - Are you saying that this is really a Fecon head with a Bobcat label? Thanks much - loved the video!

@@jayedgren9557 Basically yes. This head is sold by Bobcat as a Bobcat head but it is manufactured by Fecon.

Kenny Phillips It will take them down to ground level. We use a stump grinder attachment when people want them lower than that or dig them out.
