Clearing one acre of trees and underbrush

[@andrewkiwi1]

I'm a mechanic in New Zealand. We had an audi v6 car that bust the high pressure line from the power steering pump to the steering rack. We had a hose made up by the local hose doctor and fitted it and it whined really badly. The customer said it hadn't been whining before. the only thing we had changed was the hose. We found the old hose and compared them the old hose had a zig-zag strip the full length of the hose . Its there to change the harmonics of the oil in the and absorbs the whining noise.

[@thebrownbagger6353]

John, about your noise. I am no equipment expert, but I do know hydraulics. You taken the cutter off line so thats not the noise. It sounds like a bad bearing in your hydraulics pump. The bad bearing would not make noise with no load. You do have a noise with a cutter load.. Hard cap the hydraulic lines to the cutter and see how the pump sounds with the lines blocked. Put some pressure on the pump. Good luck. Great show and really enjoy how you all work togeather.

[@wolfpacva]

John you are so lucky to have such good employees that do good work even when you are not there.

[@Machinist1755]

You said exactly what I was thinking. That crew is a well oiled machine.

Both of these pieces of equipment and the operators are doing such a great job.

[@rodkoser6724]

Hey Guys, Rod from Greenville here. I drive past this corner several times during the day on my route. I was thinking that looks like a job done by Upstate Brush. I must have missed you or I would said Hey. Your work sure speaks for itself. Thanks because it was always hard to pull out on Floyd due to the brush. I see you somewhere soon.

[@darronshirley7886]

I have been watching you for over a year now I love how you make it look not like the guys who use a brush hog and leaves all the stubble everywhere your work is very nice

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Thank you so much!

[@louskunt9798]

If you’ve been watching for over a year you should probably turn off your computer and get back to work. 😉😂✌️

[@1932cheytruck]

John , high pitch whine starts when high flow is on, seems like it would be worth asv checking a restrictive hyd line (maybe to small) or a inline screen or hyd filter . The new 130 pump may build more pressure in those same size lines then the old 120 pump. you could also turn your gal per minute down to confirm if whine gets softer it is restrictive hyd line or turn up whine get loud same

[@Flamenche5]

Josh is always so happy. It really helps us to enjoy the video seeing your team take pride and joy in the work they do each day. You got a great team!

Another great watch, could hear the disappointment in your voice regards the noise, 🤞 it will all come good in the end and you get your smile back 😁😗

[@pazg901]

Good job! You gave such good workers.

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Yes, thank you!

[@everestyeti]

It sounds like a bearing, I had one go on the front wheel of one of my car's, sounded just like this when it got up to speed. I see the no rubbish dumping signed are as affective as they are in the UK. 🤗 Nice to see everyone out and earning money, nice job 👍

[@darrelleaf]

I like how you guys leave a buffer/barrier strip of vegetation between your working area and the main highway

[@elvisbajic7102]

Hey guys you really good workersI know this is so hard dangerous. God-bless you👍

[@stevehaines6343]

Hi Jon, another great performance from your guys, the transformation even at this stage is staggering. I know absolutely nothing about skid steers apart they do a tremendous job and I would love to drive one. On the matter of the wine you are experiencing, I think you've got to put that down to the individual characteristics of that model. Clean up and on to the next one.

[@rickgrant9228]

Ha! Sometimes we wonder that too!

[@noob457]

I can appreciate the constructive criticism about your new ASV, you've spent hard earned money and you want to ensure that you are getting what you have paid for; much respect to you and the team. I've definitely been in your shoes before, keep up the great work though!

[@victoriabyrd9166]

Hello my pro crew how's everybody doing John I heard someone got married in the group I know I've been away for a while but I had to get my health right I've been sick and I've been down but I'm still here by the grace of the Lord I'm still here and y'all still my number one pro crew that I will never forget y'all are the hard working is sweetest intelligent fellas that I know and I love watching y'all work because my crew the pro crew gets it done right and I will never stop bragging or telling anyone about y'all because I love the way I work I love how it looks when you're done everything but I'm okay I'm doing fine and I just had to get back on here to let y'all know that I haven't stopped watching y'all or anything I just wanted to let you know that I'm still here with my number one pro crew That's Josh really Micah and the big boss John I love you all take care and y'all have a happy happy holidays imBama Queen Victoria Byrd.

Glad you hear you are working on your health! We've missed seeing your comments! All the guys are married now, but Micah has moved on to another job. We wish him the best!

[@Ppumppower]

Hey bud I was just watching this video and it reminded me of a time. I had a close friend chasing a high pitched vibration noise. He thought he has a real serious issue and it exes up being just one loose bolt on a skid plate. Sounded like the whole machine was coming apart and had us scared to death, but it was just the belly skid plate vibrating.

[@timziegler9358]

Your new ASV 135 seems to work fine. I heard the noise.... and it could be a valve in the new higher flow pump not yet registered to your existing cutter. It will work out in time. Best wishes.

[@dariensmith7871]

Hey John first I'd say you and crew work fantastic together workmanship and passion are well defined. Your issue is conneticly integrated into the parts supplied by the manufacturer. For example I BOUGHT A MACHINE THAT STARTED TOO SMOKE OIL NOT LONG AFTER IT WAS BOUGHT. THE DEALER HAD TO COMPLETELY BREAK DOUN MOTOR. THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTUR OF MOTOR TO INSPECT THERE FINDINGS. TURNS OUT THE PISTON RINGS WERE PUT IN UPSIDE DOWN LOL TALK ABOUT A MOSQUITO SPRAYER.

Man, y'all doing one heck of a job. Stay safe!

[@flatout5815]

@@UpstateBrushControl speaking of safe....am curious... what's the biggest tree this monster might take on? I want to male a road and was thinking just a skidsteer, backhoe or bulldozer will do till I seen this, it cleans up everything nicely while others would leave a mess of debri to clean up or pile up. Most of what is coming down here would be big popular trees not good for anything really. No need to save them for firewood. This monster will just eat them and pave the road with woodchips. If it can handle a good 12in+ tree. The biggest tree seen in the vid would be my smallest.

All the crew did a fantastic job on this piece of property,I’m amazed how much difference it changed the looks.neighbors probably complain about it looking to nice,shows up all the houses and other property.on the machine let the experts go over it as many times it takes and still not to your liking,tell them you want another machine.if that makes same noise.that means it’s all in your head,uh huh.that’s the problem LOL.keep doing your thing and carry on.always could get some stress relief and shoot at it.just saying that’s an idea,then worry about that later.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@glennsoucy4359]

Wondering if when CCE checked the unit out, they possibly overlooked the little things, such as lamps, rubber isolators. It sounds flow related

[@davidsellars646]

Jon, my first thought is pump cavitation. The suction line and/or screen is not allowing unimpeded flow to the pump. That will tear up a pump. Also, reduced oil to the pump will result in lower power.

[@refuztosay9454]

I think you have a good suggestion here - as it answers both his symptoms: the noise and the low power. In line screens partially plugged with a scrap of plastic packaging on new equipment can cause erratic/low performance - all caused at the factory during the build. Could be. Bad fitting as well that’s deformed. Again- I think you are in the right track.

[@masudkhan7267]

Great video. Wondering what about the stumps and roots below ground? Anything done for that?

[@lthibout]

Hydraulic pipe unproperly holded. Need stronger rubber pads or changes in RPM and pump settings. Get dealer to look for vibrations with bespoke sensors on steel pipes. Nice video as always. Good luck guys!

[@sghomecare5888]

Nice job !

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Thanks!

[@jamesgantt4369]

John, having worked on and around equipment many times before, it seems to me that the whining you are hearing is coming from improper bearing tolerances in the pump. It really shows up under high rpms. It possibly could be a faulty bearing from the factory. I would stay with it while it is under warranty. The noise will only grow worse with age. Great job however on the video. There is always something eerily satisfying about watching your videos. Please keep them coming.

[@larrymercer3448]

Looks great

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

John, you don't look too happy. You're pretty down on this one. Brand new machine. It's making noise. I suggest you wear headphones until you get it fixed because that noise will drive you nuts. I hope you get it figured out soon. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

There are two separate whining sounds. There is one that sounds like an air-raid shelter sound that followers activity and then there is the working high-pitched sound. Air-mix ratios? Do you use air to cool the machine?

[@tonyroberts8508]

John, the extra noise is coming from the pump,it could be the design of the Yanmar pump since they took over CSV, Chris on let’s dig 18 new Yanmer 55 seems to me has a extra amount of whining coming from the machine. Hope this helps👍

[@bobbg9041]

23:55 23:58 Turn up the radio really loud the sound will stop. Ok joking aside deffently sounds like hydrlics. I remember cnc mills would make that sound maybe the lines are too small for the pumps pressures.

[@dustyroads834]

Pump cavitation? We use to run Komatsu excavators. If there was no pressure in the hydraulic tank. 8-10 PSI the pumps would howl like this. That little bit of pressure would help feed the pumps.

[@phillipthompson5235]

Condensation in the hydraulic system turns into a vaseline like substance which clogs filters and screens and causes a whine. I been there and done that. Good luck with it. Phil Thompson

[@hhazelhoff1363]

Love you content. Ever do a breakdown of what it cost to run these machines per hour. I imagine $50 a hour for gas , cutting blades, and maintenance will get me in the ballpark. Then I have to add my time and the payment plus depreciation. So I assumed you have to somewhere in the $300 a hour range to make this machine profitable. Let me know if I’m within the ballpark.

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Yes, you are within the ball park.

[@robmcwhirter4627]

Trust your gut feeling. Time in the seat gives you the right to an opinion about what is correct in a machine.

[@joeynelson5084]

Youn say you set it up to run with the (CPU) it sounds like the setting are not right, and the pump is trying to pump more oil than what you need ,cutting it back to 43 might be the problem. Check and see if you can cut the flow back like that sound like the pump is stressed out .

[@andycunningham6942]

it sounds like there may be a problem with a vane in one of the pumps, the whine is louder/rougher whenever the head is under load, if there is no issues within the flow or valves then that would be my guess

Howdee Mr. Upstate brush control, from a Sunny South-Africa. What is your typical running cost on the the FECON mulcher in terms of maintenance? Especially, how often do you need to sharpen the bits on the drum and or replace them? Your feedback will be much appreciated.

[@ericnelson6982]

I am a mechanic and work on some hyd. It sounds like there air trapped somewhere in the system. I know it sounds simple, but I would suggest cracking lines one at a time on very low pressure. and check for air, it may make a small mess. I would think it is somewhere between the pump and a valve.

Would it be easier/faster for you guys and cheaper for the customer if you did this during the winter months?? Or is this a summer time job?? What's the avg cost for that size to clear?Just curious...I plan on clearing some land in the near future. I figure it would be easier without all the green. Thanks

[@lindseyedwards9922]

My husband found out it was our pump making that same noise as your asv135 they replaced ours with a heavy duty one the noise is gone now.

[@fuzzelf]

About the noise, I have a similar situation with an old Mustang skid steer. It ended up being 'hydraulic aeration' on the suction side of the pump caused by seal leaking under high load and flow. I noticed slight reduced power when the noise was going on, but we didn't see aeriated hydraulic oil.

[@frankbriley4706]

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Thanks for watching!

[@AR15-x4r]

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

[@Southalabamaoutdoors]

Sounds like the flow pump is just creating a whisel cutting out on flow. Have you tried running a head you can turn up the pump closer to full open..? See if sounds go away with more flow

[@terryrogers1025]

Sometimes, I stress sometimes, the quick couple connection can be faulty in either the male or female side of the connection point, can limit flow or set up a turbulence in the flow of oil, I have experienced this in hydraulic systems and it drives you nuts trying to track it down. Just a thought sir, thanks for the ride along, even with the screamin.

[@kellygb9278]

Check your hydraulic reservoir, for froth in the oil (lots of air foam), which would be indictive of a loose intake pick up line. I am inclined to believe that a intake line is sucking air. The noise sounds like cavitation

[@MarkORoth-fu2cy]

John if it that much of a winning. Start with the Belts, Fan, Alternator or its a Baron gone Bad. Rubbing of metal parts won't make a Winey Noise. So it is something that is Turning very Fast.

[@julioquinones8538]

How long did it take to do the acre and how much did it cost?

[@jeremyraeber4234]

Letsdig18 had an issue everyone thought was hydraulic noise and ended up being a very small air leak in the air intake charging hose before the turbo.

[@DerFledderer]

That noise would drive me crazy! I can fully understand what you mean. I think its the hydraulic pump itself, isnt it?

hello upaqstare bruch control it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy

[@TheEggeee2]

Maybe a stupid question but I’ll ask anyway. Could it be that the 135 has a different pump that it is designed to run happier with a higher GPM than the 120 or even what the head is set for ? It sounds like it’s bogging a bit and I’m wondering if it is designed for it optimal power to be at a higher GPM.

Not being smart Alec ear plugs and ear sound muffs. I hear you sad

[@UpstateBrushControl]

We're in the upstate of South Carolina.

[@jeffgregory5076]

It sounds like the hydraulic gear pump has a cavitation problem, several things can contribute; clearance with the internal gears, flow returning being restricted, faulty pressure control, bearing, value, seal or coupling. Even though it is new there maybe have been some trash in the system from the factor causing blockage, restricing flow, dirty line, filter, strainer. I have seen the vent clogged and cause a little back pressure in the tank. Unfortunately with hydraulics there are many things that can contribute to the whine, but if not fixed can lead to catastrophic failure.

[@barrymurray8264]

Sorry John, know nothing about machines. Hope you find it. Anyway, good to see the crew back ! Be looking for Part 2. Thanks guys. Be well.
