My First Mulching Job

Thanks to Indeco for delivering this awesome mulching head. For more info, go to indeco-breaker...

So true

[@scruffy6151]

Ground level right lol.

[@BubbasDad]

I really like the variety of jobs. Really like the pond builds, but other projects are of real interest also. I am so used to the 220, that the mini looks like a toy, but it sure gets the job done.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

I enjoyed it too.

[@clayboist]

Imagine the 220 with a 40 inch mulcher head hanging off the end of it. 😵😵😵

[@goodcitizen4587]

Quite a lot of impact for a man and a little tractor. Everywhere Chris goes, the Earth gets an upgrade.

[@larrylindsey1497]

I ran across a 100lb. roll of barb wire hidden in the weeds with my flail mower. Had blisters on my palms by the time I cut it all out with wire clippers. Steel T Posts, wire fencing, hoses, conduit........are also not fun when they are wrapped around in there. Had a customer furious when I wound up half a mile of his cable TV.... I told him, "I've heard of overhead and I've heard of under ground, but not heard of ON THE GROUND. Not my problem!"

[@DCS026]

With my brush hog, I have ran over basket balls, wire fencing, 6x6's, box springs, Tee post, miles of baling string. Of course this always happens after a 10 hour, summer day, hot, tired, thirsty, pissed off and then just to put the cherry on top, you lay down in a fire ant bed trying to untangle all that mess. And, this WAS my retirement job.

[@everettfarr8036]

Sounds like something I would do

[@ngnmech]

@@DCS026 Neighbor a few years ago wrapped 1/2 mile of the other neighbors temporary phone line in his rotary cutter.. Cutter grabbed it and proceeded to pull the line lose from the neighbors house and through the woods, like wrapping up a kite string.

[@jdlives8992]

Lol. Some people don’t understand why being lazy always seems to bite you in the a$$

[@chrisjohnson4666]

Almost mowed up two of the neighbors kids 20 years ago 8ft brush hog I think it was a 6300 JD mowing fence rows at a pretty good clip when they thought jumping out in front of the farmer was funny... After teaching them every swear word I knew and inventing a few more I drug them nack to their parents told them what happened and that next time I wasnt goint to about roll the tractor over to port around their idiot kids....

[@larrykeenan598]

Could you take a screen door spring and some hooks to hold up the hydraulic lines feeding the mulcher? It looks like they would be easy to tear off.

[@corsafreak]

Yeah, i thought the same. The hoses looks like a bit too long.

[@Mr.Studer]

Just use a long enough bungee with double hooks and wrap lines and tie it to the thumb, doesn't need to be tight, just keep them away off the ground

[@roycsinclair]

Driven down the Alaska Highway many times and have seem them using a variety of equipment to maintain the margins of the highway and keep the trees back, mostly doing exactly what you did there except they mainly do it to reduce young new trees which like to spread into the open zone. With the nice wide margins you can spot a lot of wildlife as you go, black and brown bears, Wood Bison, Porcupines, Foxes, Elk, Caribou, Moose and Deer. It's the magnificent views and the wildlife along the way that makes the days of driving well worth the effort and it's the work of machines like yours that open those views up.

[@dsdragoon]

Wow, that partially buried fencing would have made for a very bad day. Strawberry Shortcake did great and worked well with the mulcher.

[@mslorry3420]

A little trimming up sure does change the curb appeal! Excellent work again!

[@assassinlexx1993]

Chris this is by far the best snake smacker. Great clean look.

[@Bass2010]

I watch upstate brush control and they use the Mulchers that go on the front of the skid steer and they find wires and cables all the time so they keep a pair of good wire cutters and small bolt cutter in the skid steer cause they hit that stuff a lot

[@charlessmyth]

The mulcher doesn't look like much, until Chris stands beside it to clean it out :-)

[@BannerTrucking2]

That little attachment has opened you up to a bunch of new job opportunities. It works good!

[@barryshisler3720]

Another great job Chris Always a joy to watch you You are The Man

[@rhacker3058]

It seems like the attachment worked much better when the brush was flattened out, it mulched it in a couple of passes. Just an observation. That is one angry implement, I wouldn't want to any where near that thing when it's in operation!!! Have a good weekend!!

[@jackgurteeen37]

You need Tim Allen and his Tool Time side kick on that daisy cutter Chris...MORE POWER!!

[@Donkey2454]

I really like this setup. Just enough power and reach to clear low brush fast!

[@marygames8003]

It's good to see Strawberry Shortcake working hard as ever.

[@Graveltrucking]

The mower isn't singing like it should, that drum mower should be humming. I would have the auxiliary flow turned up on you're machine doesn't take much it will make a big difference in the mower performance. I don't see a case drain on your mower? all the mowers we have all have case drains. Mowers make good money they are rough on the hydraulics and the swing gear of your machine.

[@NZDIRT]

I’d assume it probably doesn’t have a case drain from factory

[@idigit4967]

These mulchers don’t need case drains as they run direct drive motors, not piston motors which do need a case drain. My Prinoth head is set up the same way.

[@Graveltrucking]

@@idigit4967 The Cimaf mower and the 2 US mowers all have case drains. Cimaf we had for the 16 ton hoe same thing. Maybe the cheaper mowers don't use them. We've blown the seals out of the hydraulic motors when the case drains were not connected by accident

[@idigit4967]

@@Graveltrucking The direct drives are not a cheaper setup by any means, my Prinoth was just as expensive as the Cimaf and more expensive than the Fecon, its just that with the lower volume flows on these minis, (most 5-7 tons run 20-27 gal/m), the direct drive motors are a little more efficient and can handle these smaller drum heads on minis. When you get into the larger excavators, like a 16 ton with all that flow you need a piston motor with a case drain but on a mini it isn't absolutely necessary for a mulcher. My Prinoth will destroy a 10" pine no problem just as quick or quicker than the Fecon or Cimaf that run piston motors.

[@tinysworld1749]

Man I would really love to have one of those for cleaning up the edges of the pastures at the farm, and just general property and timber maintenance

[@jackiesiebrass3321]

Enjoyed the variety with the little excavator...priceless

[@KB-gs8zi]

Well Chris !!! Another 1 for the record books as GREAT JOB !!! Have a good week & till the next ""ADVENTURE "" ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

Shoot trusty rusty AND strawberry shortcake in the same vidja thumbnail?? Hold on buddy this here’s about to be a good one😊

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi JasonWorksAlot we seem to have a problem there are some people who will not call Strawberry Shortcake by her name they make up their own name please straighten this out thank you 😆

[@david0858too]

That building across the street looks a lot like the one from the big sinkhole job a year or two ago.

[@wyattearp1418]

Chris that was an Awesome Job ,looks so much better. That just so neat what that device can do. Your “First Mulching Job” is Perfect! Congratulations.

[@DaffyDuc69]

I SO could have used that today. Hay field has trees around it and worked on clearing a bunch of them that were growing into to the field... Looks was easier than a ladder and a chainsaw when it's 85 and humid.

[@ahdgfsdgsdgsdfg]

Thanks for the ride. Got a little sick at times.

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

Strawberry shortcake sure would be nice as log Splitter hydraulic powerplant, shop crane, engine hoist, logging winch and loader crane as well as a excellent liquid manure bucketeer

[@lesr5737]

Hello Chris, I watched you run this Yanmar with the cutter head when you first got it I believe it was very first video with it. At the time I watched the video I was not at all impressed with the cutter head that you had chosen it looked to me inefficient. I watch today's video and my practice makes perfect it was very efficient practice makes perfect I see you have developed some techniques using it and I'm impressed with its operation and efficiency as the keeping the cutter at a 45 degree angle and lowering it down at that angle. There are several other things too but I'm impressed now.

[@kevins5092]

They work great to trim for deer hunting too

[@rabid_1]

I think that a professional like Justin, could actually a process a deer with that attachment. 😆 If you're into crunchy sausage.

[@mikeoneil2281]

just another days work. the mini is definitely paying for itself along with the attachments see you on the next one

[@stubby242]

I work for my Township and should have taken a picture of the birds nest I got on my flail mower yesterday cutting back trees and brush! I run a Bobcat E42 with a 40" flail mower/brush cutter, and we had heat index of 105. Needless to say, we went back to the shop.

[@boboxton5410]

Chris, I see you've mastered the mower/mulcher/ destructo machine!

[@bubbachomp5683]

Say Chris, if there is a truck stop close by, maybe you should grab one of the springs that trucks use to hang the air lines and the 7 pin electrical cable off the cab, hook it to the hydraulic lines and hook the other end on one of the thumb teeth. that might keep the lines out of harms way and still allow them to move when you need them to.

looks like the Beaver did a good job on the cleaning of the brush ..I ran over a roll of barb wire that was grown over in the property I just got almost a year ago .. had to remove the mower blade to get the wire out from under the deck .. few choice words i was saying ,, found 4 more rolls in the grass all grown over .. somebody got lazy taking down a old horse fence ..

[@doritleis2773]

Your first job with strawberry and mulcher! The strawberry to purr how a cat and the mulcher make a good work at the selection of the hedge and long grass. This buying is a good invest to the future. I think you have the mulcher some time to your best machine, is multiple ready to work. This video is very good and to show a new chance to work. Thanks to this video.

Man that thing is just incredible! That mulcher should bring in lots of jobs!

[@donnamullins2089]

Congrats, There is always room for expansion. FYI - the guy over at Idigit4 from a few weeks ago said that his cutter ( similar) has Hell cutting Wisteria and Kudzu as well as a few other types that are tough & get clogged up.

[@gregoryburton4328]

Great editing 👍🙏

[@stephenrickettsNL]

Always enjoy your videos Chris. Nice to see some time lapse stuff. Be great to see more of that with the camera set up outside. I always try to like as many or your vids as I can. Just a tip to consider, not sure what the exact name is at the end of the videos where tiles pop up, but if you consider doing that, or play an outro, it's a great reminder to viewers to like your vid as it is ending. Often if it cuts off without notice, I may not always go back for the thumbs up. I do a lot but for me, when watching any vid, as soon as the outro comes on, that's my cue to hit the like button. Worth considering as you put a lot of effort in and I am sure you want all the likes you can get. Great work brother.

[@jasont5635]

Very nice looks so much better can't wait for the next mulching job Chris

Effective tool right there. Looks like it did what you wanted.

i feel like they knew that fence was there and thats why they didnt want to mow it them selves. other than the bank it didnt look that crazy for a tractor

[@85ccmaster]

The mulcher sounds like my pc88 w/ brown bronto mulching head, wasn't tuned to the machine and spun slow and sounded like yours, id get the head adjusted to get that drum spinning faster, course it wont have a bunch of torque since there's no case drain but it'll help adjusting the valves on the mulching head

[@Pharphette]

New toys brings new video styles. I like it.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

That mulcher sure does a good job Chris but anyway brother another great video you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man

[@beardy4831]

That mulching head seems like it could use a little more power behind it. Since it requires a high flow system, maybe increase the pipe/hose diameter running to it.

[@r1mein54]

Well Allright!, just knew that 'shredder on a stick' was meant for a job. Being in the cab during a downpour is what sailors call 'a freshwater washdown'. Keeping Cherry Cola clean should be what you like. Others commented that Cherry Cola is called Strawberry Shortcake, which sounds too Nursery Rhyme-ish ,, so Mr. Chris Guins will have to declare to us what the name is for the new Red Yanmar Mini. Nice and clean.
