EXPLODING WHOLE TREES LIKE CONFETTI! Rut Disc Mulcher VS Drum Mulcher! Which Is Better!

I FINALLY got my hands on a DISC MULCHER! We are up at Rut Manufacturing and out the Annihilator disc mulcher and this thing is INSANE! Just whole trees gone instantly! We will also be running the TMC Cancela mulcher and doing a complete pros and cons of each mulcher head!

Wow is all I know to say about that bad to the bone Rut disc mulcher! Very impressive for sure…😳😀

[@cherylandersen434]

The disc mulcher was absolutely awesome. WOW!!

[@barneyrubble5801]

Great visual comparison!! That disk mulcher is a beast, no doubt. Would like to see a machine like that with two or three disks stacked on full flow! Initially, it seems like the disk mulcher is cheaper to run - I'm assuming less maintenance costs / labor. Comparison upfront: $17k vs $37k. To do a true Life Cycle Cost comparison though, would need the life expectancy operating hours of each. Great video Davin!

That disc mulcher is a beast.

[@anthonycash4609]

I know each has it's place also good and bad points, but I have the rut disk mulcher and I have never regretted it at all. This cutter is a beast I have seen it eat a 6" pine here in North Carolina in the blink of an eye. Just as he said cut the tree tilt the deck back a little and the tree will disappear right before your eyes. good job Daven.

[@rwhit7926]

Great video Davin

[@K.Edmondson]

Disc mulcher looks like a good machine if it had someone that could run it. The salesman did a good job of explaining how to operate it, but Devon as always takes his own path.

[@LilybethII]

Exactly! He was supposed to keep it at ground level, cut the tree and let the upper part of the disc shred that tree. He only keeps using the bottom part of the disc and elevating it waaaaay too high. It's dangerous that way.

[@porscha901]

Awesome machine brilliant idea

[@chrisk6474]

It would be super interesting to see what the disk mulcher can do with big stumps! For land clearing that isn't around other building or roadways it would seem to be the cheaper and more efficient option. The drum mulcher is for the beautifying aspect of the work as well as the safety aspect of it being able to keep the debris from being flung like Josh Allen is back there just bombing away all over the place. Cool video 🙏🏼

[@JamesJ7851]

Seemingly, the disc is much more aggressive than the drum, also doesn't load down the machine as bad as typical drum. I learn more with each video. 👍

[@martinchristian7270]

Well… you know what they say “ if you love your job you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”😊

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO DAVIN 😊

[@JaniceGilliam-wv1mj]

Good. Morn. From. ALABAMA

[@kylepratt1710]

Welcome to NC. I’m about an hour south of where you are. Enjoy.

[@KenEilers]

Looks like the Disc Mulcher is much faster when taking down and mulching trees. But it looks like you had a lot of fun with them both.

[@garymessina1609]

That dis mulcher is kinda awesome seems to be more efficient but that's my opinion great video thanks Davin

[@AllstarVentures]

Love my Rut mini mulcher for the smaller excavators too. Like an over grown weed eater for tress 👍🏼 Rut also has great service from my experience. Glad you finally got some time on a disc mulcher Davin. Good stuff

[@kirk467]

Good video, thanks for sharing Davin! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻

[@Ramona57-TX]

That thing is a beast. I was laughing with you as that machine just chewed up the trees. Good humor today, Thanks Devon.

[@tjsivley]

you're having way too much fun!!!

[@randydobson1863]

hello Davin & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Davin Friends Randy

[@bernicereinhard3764]

The disc mulcher got me right in the eye with a stick!

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

You were having way too much fun😂. It's like playing a video game with mulchers. This one was interesting but I still like the barrel mulcher the best because it seems to do a better job just in my opinion.

[@jandances1687]

Wow, I'll say this was a good video for me to share ,I like your tutorial. UK out

[@chipper841]

Very enjoyable! Helps to know what kind of finish you want to end with, how it will look. Thank you muchly!

[@bonniebutton4089]

The smell of cut pine must be great

[@myraholmes8702]

The drum mulcher seems faster and mulches smaller pieces. That Cancela is just a beast

[@seandurgin]

Just spent 4 months in D’ville. Had a great time.

[@ccmogs5757]

That RUT modified TMC head is a beast 🔥

[@richardfriedrichs]

Disc seems better for taking trees down, Drum is better when stuff on Ground. Also, Disc seems better at stumps.

[@swagtech_]

Impressive precision and power combined in these heavy-duty marvels.

[@komitadjie]

The disk definitely doesn't leave as fine of a finished look as your drum, but holy CRAP is it fast. They named that thing correctly! The amount of kinetic energy bound up in that spinning flywheel is terrifying!

[@idigit4967]

Yeah the kinetic energy that thing has is insane! I never even really bogged it down

[@komitadjie]

@@idigit4967 I wonder if that's just kind of part of the overall design, actually. There's enough kinetic energy stored to obliterate pretty much anything you can catch into it, but because it's kind of slow to line up to grab the next tree, it's had a chance to spin the disk back up again.

[@bonniebutton4089]

So far, the round disk one is faster at cut down and mulching.

[@davidhunt2387]

Why elevating and operating so high with disc? It appears a lot of lost efficiency and violent ejection happens with the head so elevated.

[@SootyDiesel81]

The disc would be good for knocking it down quickly and the drum for tidying up the mess

[@sshaw16684]

The disc mulcher seems to be more efficient and doesn’t bog down like the TMC drum mulcher you have. It doesn’t look residential safe

[@kirk467]

I’m thinking the same thing friend, but it’s a bad machine! lol 😂

[@Mauricio-vn6fl]

My thoughts exactly.

[@lindahollister5530]

Hello. These pieces of equipment are awesome. Something different. Thank you for a training video.😂😂😂. Fun fun. Wow, it tears them up🎉🎉🎉🎉. Yes, on the small pieces. Nice.❤.

[@joebacarella2829]

They are both beasts, I like the finish the drum leaves, that disc is for rurual areas where nobody is aroung it sends things flying through the air, it seems much more dangerous to lift that disc in the air. If that disc flew off of there, it would eat a small town, that looks like 3/4 inch plate covering it. I could not even immagine what the cost is to replace 36 carbide cutters on the drum, ouch.

[@ralfdahms1035]

A new meaning of 'discofever' 😂

[@Sambardown]

Haha stuff a shield for the cab! Here's a pair of safety glasses n have at it😂🇭🇲

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Dang, LOVE this mulcher. Awesome! Thanks for asking if we were ok, when the camera and the tripod fell over🙂Appreicated.. Great job, keep em coming~

[@Dadnatron]

Really liked this video. I’ve been looking into mulchers and have been leaning towards drum. However there is a real difference for large clearing, and I’ve been impressed with the disc functionality.

[@jessecaudill1349]

That disc mulcher in my opinion is absolutely stupid in the best way possible I love it

[@judyforstner1108]

I like the drum. It cleans so much better but is not as fast as the disc. Its all a personal choice.

[@sidswift4709]

Ask the rupp guy if they can put a door on the small mulchers (drum style)like the big one has

[@85ccmaster]

Doing a job right now, looks identical to this site. 289 with a gyrotrac 500hf drum mulcher

[@ftowles2001]

Get them both! MO is better.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

camera went aww i fainted from stick fright

[@benniebarrow348]

For the large amounts of soft pine saplings your on the disc eats very fast........... for finesse work , the drum mulcher.

[@idigit4967]

Agreed!

[@chrissmith513]

I would rather have the drum one !!! Does a lot cleaner job 😊😊😊

[@cathtf7957]

Would like to see it on some other brush cutting assignments.

[@demuntresmith6666]

I’ll take both the disc cut faster then drum.

[@gordonclark7632]

The only thing I can say is that I wouldn't want to be a photographer trying to get some action shots.

[@susansnell9125]

That disc mulcher is lethal, not sure if it would suite your work though. I can see you enjoyed yourself though. The drum mulcher is much better in my opinion.....but who am i to say!!!!

[@mikewendeln5218]

Disk cutter is a beast. Drum has better finish.

[@dianachinchello5530]

Disc is less versatile, but it eats for days. But you wouldn't be able/or safe using it residential. It spits everywhere. But how fun!

[@JustAnotherPaddy]

Both!. That was awesome.

[@davidleffel3545]

I am convinced each has its own place. I have a bunch of pine thickets to thin on our 200 acres, all wooded area and I truly like the speed of the disc. The finish is of no concern as I just need sunlight to the ground 😅

[@timothyirish4590]

Aaaand he's back ! man Davin I have so missed seeing that tripod get a slap hahahaha

[@CJWJR]

It's like putting stalks of celery through a blender. 😄

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ChrisLaNauze-Author]

How does the drum mulcher handle those accidentals that are hidden in ground mulching, like concrete lumps, large rocks and picket stakes.

[@richardgavin6712]

I operate all 3 attachment on my compact track loader . Disk mulcher , drum mulcher and bushhog attachment .

[@kirk467]

I imagine the disk mulcher is a lot more fun to operate! 👍🏻 Do you think the mulch is equivalent to the drum mulcher ? How does the mulch product compare to each other? Also looks like changing the teeth would be more difficult to do!

[@Captain-Donut]

❤️🙏 Love from Scotland 🙏

[@davidsparks8543]

You have the most entertaining videos. Second would be your buddy John.

[@idigit4967]

Thank you!

[@JayStephens8]

What would be worse using a scathe to cut a 2 acre field of 5ft tall grass or chopping down pines on a 2 acre field with an axe

[@michaelphillipsBoogie1]

Is there anyway to go straight into trees in a straight line with mulcher down, instead of lifting up and down?

[@davidsparks8543]

Why are u not going with the trees on the right side of the mulcher? I watched a lot of videos on disc mulchers, most cut them off at the ground and then tilt the mulcher back. They normally don't cut the tree in the middle up off the ground like a drum mulcher. Try it the easier way or its not a fair comparision.

[@paulacomstock3742]

Good god man😳 you could get impaled!

[@johnhenryNC]

You were in my neck of the woods. Long way from Eden to Myrtle Beach. Probably around four to 4 & a half hours.

[@idigit4967]

About 3.5 hours back to Conway. Not too bad

[@johnhenryNC]

@@idigit4967 Driving to the beach, it's not a bad drive timewise from here to Conway; it's the time from Conway to Myrtle that's the problem. As you know during peak season, 501 becomes a parking lot between Conway & Myrtle. 👍

[@johnpurdum8126]

Could use the disk mulcher for speed in an open area like a property out of town and drum mulch for the fine finish if desired. The disc is very efficient at knocking it down. Edit: you seem to be happy with the results. As long as the customer and yourself are happy that's what's important.

[@wolverine89893]

The only thing I could see was you were having a blast with the disc mulcher. But you are right each mulcher has it's place. But if I was starting a Forestry Clearing operation I would get a disc mulcher to start with as it is cheaper.

[@glennsoucy4359]

You mentioned 44 vs 28 teeth. How does the difference in tooth type factor in?

[@jeffbailey7765]

Good job and video Brother

[@zx6rkawi09]

I run a shearex head and im going to get the rut disc because it has its jobs it would shine on

[@idigit4967]

I got one dropped off yesterday so stay tuned!

[@dadge2500]

If you ever get a chance to do this again instead of keeping the woods to your left, keep it to your right you’ll have a better chance of Terese being sucked in from the right hand side of the trees being on the left-hand side as you’re sitting

[@mlhm5]

Eden NC used to be - Leaksville, Spray and Draper NC

[@jefferyshall]

Geesh that disc cutter makes a damn mess. Disk might be more of a beast, but the drum cutter wins hands down for me.

[@lancewilson457]

That disc mulcher sounds mean

[@juicequad]

THAT THING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! LOL DANG SON

[@lucrom1097]

Super Good work you the best te famely te natuur best friend good weekend 😅🚜🚚🎽🧤⛅✌️✳️😎✔️🌿🌾

[@chestergrigsby1668]

Why not try a side by side comparison, love your videos!

[@jasoncarden9200]

it time call diamond mowers

[@marilynlewison9649]

The disc mulcher would be good for stump grinding

[@bonniebutton4089]

Hi sky lol.

[@jeffmawhinney1709]

Started with stump grinding and brush cutting. Working towards forestry mulching. Don't want to be classified as land clearing. Calling it Land Grooming Services Great video again. Need to start myself

[@stanhutchins4365]

Is the RUT Disc hard to see over to the front from how far the hood stand up.

[@vicborn3099]

Hi, wondering if you would ever do a video on how to operate a skid steer.

[@kirk467]

Only thing is I don’t believe it would be safe to run the disk mulcher on some of the in town lots that you do because it throws so much debris! What do you think? It definitely is a destructive mulcher and I think it’s a lot better than the drum mulcher when it comes to that kind of mulching, Davon! It’s definitely bad to the bone! Just my opinion from watching your channel and the jobs you do!

[@bud1412]

Can you get the stumps at or below ground level? Great video thanks

[@redcauthen771]

What about areas that has a lot of surface rock then what do you use 😊

[@idigit4967]

Drum mulcher with carbide

[@sirwallygator565]

This guy is running that disk mulcher in not a safe way and not the best way.. You are best to cut the smaller trees at ground level and back up to suck the tree in. So many people make the mistake of doing what he did and that is a very good way to get hurt

[@johnusher4961]

16:47, lol

[@bossturbo]

How do you haul that much weight? I want a TL12R2 CTL, but don't want to require a CDL driver to haul it everywhere, myself or others working with me. Machine is 13k pounds, trailer would be 6k+ and truck 8k+... not even including the 2-3k for one of these mulchers

[@Gooditalian]

I would take the flail mower . The disc mower is too dangerous to operate anywhere.

[@anthonycash4609]

They don't make a flail mulcher they make a drum mulcher but the flail mower will only cut brush and that's pushing it sometimes.

[@Gooditalian]

I ran a flail for twenty years and I could cut up to a 4 inch tree. They make flail heads that’s just don’t cut grass.

[@YenYingLei]

你好，我是中国人，第一机器⚙️好👍很厉害👍的，但是注意安全，换上碎木锯齿也很棒的

[@oldstudbuck3583]

@YenYingLei the broken wood teeth feed many koi fish look like panda bear

[@Ramona57-TX]

I have to agree with speed vs mulching debris

[@georgelee7259]

How to compare your asv to the tech

[@anthonycash4609]

The TL 12 Tac is basically the same as his ASV. The ASV has a bigger hydraulic cooler and does not need an external cooler like the Tac if you run it all day in extreme heat.

[@ML-qp9zi]

About how many hours do you have on the disc mulched? Any issues with it?
