I’m looking at the same mulcher but leaning towards running it on a Takeuchi TB260. Appreciate your video, as I was a tad skeptical about running on a 6 ton mini-ex. But it looks like that class of mini-ex can turn it just fine! I have their skidsteer mulcher also. 🍻

That CAT 306 has a unique hydraulic system which is able to run a mulching head like this very well.

Not sure on the T.

@@clearedtolandscape thanks. Good to know, I’m still in my research phase, so I will dig into that 👍

What exact GPM and PSI is it sending to the head?

[@clearedtolandscape]

Pump Flow @ 2400rpm = 40gl/min Aux system = ~24gl/min & 3553psi Load sensing hydraulic system with variable displacement pump.
