Kubota SVL 75-2 with Loftness Battle Axe Vs Bobcat T595 with Fecon BH62

[@porteeab]

Looking forward to more videos with that SVL75 and the Battle_AX. There's not much info out there regarding low-flow mulchers on the 75 and seeing them in action is awesome.

[@themannstead2494]

Got a couple tings coming up hopefully ill be able to get some footage

[@jasongrinnell1986]

I agree not enough info on a lower flow skidsteer setup.

[@HomeroGarcia23]

Great video, I plan on purchasing the same battle axe for my 75!

[@themannstead2494]

Good choice!

[@TheOMEGANOX]

I’m thinking the new 75-3 with that head could be surprisingly productive.

[@hhazelhoff1363]

I was so busy jamming out to the music that I forgot to watch the video, what happened.

[@miketruman2927]

Are those machines Hi Flow?

[@spmservicesclearingandmulc9821]

Let’s do it again soon. Nice video.

[@themannstead2494]

Yeah for sure

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

I'm no expert, but that Kabota mulcher was tearing it up with more efficiency than the bobcat

[@jayfray38]

Operator modifications

[@SHERRYEVANS-i1c]

Is your mulcher head a loftness 61 bsl?

[@themannstead2494]

Yes this one is

[@JT-qf4it]

Do you have any issues with the hydraulics overheating while running the mulcher?

[@themannstead2494]

So far I haven't seen water temp above the half way mark, summer in GA will be the test though

[@abdoolshamin8676]

R these equipment for rent and how much.

[@joshcoleman4249]

I run a fecon and can tell you that it doesn’t look like they’re running it on high flow. Something doesn’t seem right. I can chew up trees like that in a few seconds with a John Deere 333g.. That Fecon head is a serious machine but you need to have high flow.

[@themannstead2494]

That's a 75 hp machine running the fecon head here so it's definitely not going to compare to your 333g

[@joshcoleman4249]

@@themannstead2494 I agree with you there. I have seen some guys running a Fecon on a 325g which is a 75hp machine and was pretty impressed with how well they ran. Not sure if there may be a problem with the one in this video. I was impressed with the Kubota and Loftness head. Actually came across this video because I have an opportunity to buy that exact same setup for a good deal and was curious about how it would run.

[@benniebarrow348]

It’s not the HP it’s the flow ……I run the Fecon bullhog on my Kubota SVL 90-2 and with high flow it will sit down on a tree like that in seconds . Agreed , something is not right with the way that fecon is running.

[@johnjones-qg7mf]

Are you still running the loftness mulcher on the kabota?

[@themannstead2494]

No have a T770 with s series battle axe now

[@coobreeze9]

@@themannstead2494What made you switch from a Kubota to a Bobcat, if you don’t mind me asking ?

[@WorkHard321]

Do you like the Battle ax over the fecon? Also what series do you have for the battle ax

[@themannstead2494]

The head in this video is the L series. It's a standard flow head but works great on a 75hp machine in high flow. I have never run a fecon head so I can compare but I felt in here it outperformed the other machine. The big difference is the l series battle axe was specifically designed for this size machine and the fecon was not necessarily designed that way. Both have their strengths.

[@themannstead2494]

I have the s series on my new Bobcat. Just been so busy haven't made any videos. Just made on recently with The Stoney Ridge Farmer though if you want to check that one out

[@hhazelhoff1363]

Amy thoughts on the battle ax against a comparable FAE on a 75 hp machine. I’m buying the Kubota 75-3 and want to find the best head for land clearing in south Florida

[@billymcmillen202]

What was the cutting width of the battle ax and cost?

[@themannstead2494]

61in about 26k new

[@scottseaner8937]

What size Loftness is that?

[@themannstead2494]

61in l series

[@JT-qf4it]

That Fecon head looks to be too much for that Bobcat.

[@themannstead2494]

His high flow pump went out about 2 weeks later so that was a big part of it

No music, please....
