Personally, I'd skip the grapple in favor of some debris forks...this thing is way too front-heavy for a grapple. I'd put a BXpanded tooth bar on the bucket, would get a ratchet rake [lots of uses], would get a stump bucket for digging stuff up, and would fabricobble a simple plow for winter use. And with all that, this thing would be a total hell yeah!

Interesting story, same as me. I finally got a confirmed MS diagnosis after 12 years but lookig back i think i had symptoms going back 22 years. I woke up with double vision in 2012. Saw my first neurologist shortly after that but was not diagnosed with MS untill i saw a neurolagist at the MS clinic in Toronto.in 2022. Trigeminal neuralgia secondary to MS is my latest issue. Thanks for the video and be well.
@metaspencerКүн бұрын
Very similar indeed. I'm sorry to hear about the Trigeminal neuralgia as I've heard it's pretty rough! Not sure what your approach to the disease ended up being but I've just done with D and an anti-inflammatory diet and not had another exacerbation since making this video.

I remember the old M151’s at the guard unit I was in. They found that from sitting so long , rust accumulated in the fuel tank, from the condensation. It would just quit running while you drove down the road. We found the float bowls full of this rust powder in the carburetor. They got rid of all of them a short time later.

The 'how you did it' was helpful. Appreciate the share. It is beneficial to watch how a process occurs. Here in Texas we do have a lot of berry vines, briars, all types of vines and under growth. Plus like you shared a lot of new small trees trying to reclaim the land. Mowing does discourage those small trees and vines. A good maintenance plan is important. So, thanks for sharing. Keep it safe, stay strong & healthy along with mingling wisdom and success. Prayers for family during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. ☝🙏🙌💪❤🎯💯%.

I've spend a bit of time in Texas and the region is pretty dang different from upstate NY where we are, but one thing never changes: always nice to keep the growth down in certain areas.

The machine is certainly effective for scrubby growth. You'll know already that blackthorn naturally speads by suckering growth, so when hedges containing it are left to their own devices, they will always widen - it's part of nature's progression towards forest as the climax vegetation where rainfall will support it. And will maybe know also that the eggs & caterpillars of hairstreak butterflies (several species) depend on 1 or 2yr regrowth. So if posession of an efficient new machine tempts you into tidying EVERYWHERE, entire populations can be wiped out at a stroke. Whereas if the flail/mulcher is used on a 2 or 3yr rotation it can always leave some 1 or 2yr regrowth present to maintain both utility of the land and its diversity of life.

I’m considering a brush cutter for my mini skid. What, if any applications do you think this mulching head would be better than a 42” brush cutter?
@metaspencer5 күн бұрын
I think it really depends on what you're gonna be cutting. I've got that kind of attachment on my tractors and it's great for high brush and the occassional small tree, but you can't lift them up in the same way as a mulcher. plus, the mulcher gets down lower and can focus on bushes and brush. you'll cover more ground with that 42" I'm thinking ... so really depends on what you want to be leveling and how low to the ground
