The mulch will break down 6-8 months, once it gets wet & some leaf litter on top of it. The soil organisms & fungi will take it back into the soil. Will also compact the amount of branches you have to haul away from lot clearing or could just leave it. The 200' safe zone may be an issue in close quarters. Neat, be fun to see it on the jobsite.

It's takes mulch a hell of lot longer than 8 months to break down. Also once you get past the tree line, it's forestry management, not land management 🤣🤣

@@ronsmith1364 I watched a crew the power company hired as they cleared the right of way in the hunting pasture behind. They had what looked like an overgrown skid loader on tracks with a rig like that up front. As the guy got down toward the creek, he ran into something that slowed him WAY down. It was a hedge tree about 6 inches across the middle. It had been cut when the power lines were put in, 55 years ago. He never did chop it all the way up, because I hit it with my brush mower the next year. Tree stumps, if they die, will be there for a decade. The bigger pieces of that mulch will be there for several YEARS.

It's pretty amazing how effective it is.

For plant production it is important to have enough green plant matter/compost mixed in with the wood chips to make good growing soil though.

@@davidsellars4327 we are also very small scale (my farm is about 24 acres total) so this is mostly research for now. I don't know how large 12 x 12 or 16 x 16 is? The idea of this kind of compost-driven soil improvement and production is Brazilian where they do it in a lot larger scale though. I guess the total area we're trying it out on for now would be something like half an acre. It takes a lot of biomass to get something proper out of it. For the marshy parts we have 25-30cm of wood chips as a base layer, and then we put a wood-chip and compost mix on top of that to grow in. The base layer lets you drive heavy equipment on to it which would otherwise sink. At 25cm thickness it is a bit much to chip ourselves for the whole area, so I'm looking into getting supplies from nearby forestry operations. I presume iron in this thing would produce the same sounds as iron in any kind of mulcher. A loud clank followed by an even louder swear word.

Makes a good brush mower... clears an area real fast, and the demo has a good operator showing off the cutter. tks for the demo. Any rough idea what a job would run per hour running the Yanmar with that cutter head for 8 hours? Good trick to unplug the jam-up.

Bloody Hell, I didn't know you needed to do mine clearance on some of your projects!!! Looks like a miniature attachment for a Sherman Crab. 😵😁 PS Whatever happened to "mulching doesn't work". 😜 (OK so it does if you pull the stumps first...). ETA Seems like it's needing a little more hydraulic capacity to keep it from spooling down on thicker stuff - mebbe better on the 220?

Yes the 220 would really chew up trees.

Well thought you would get a full tilt full spin head for a grading bucket! With the tweezer claws on the back. Like Hedblom has!

Looks like it could use a bigger machine with more power. Can you use it on the Volvo?
@MrSwampdawg473 жыл бұрын
No, the Volvo would be way too much for that size head.

Watched a vid of some chap clearing neglected ponfbanks with one of these munchers. He kept the boom sideways on, did a couple of long low sweeps and then move forward and repeat. Trim taller trees at about 6-8 feet and go straight downward. He'd obviously had lots of practice but the mulcher will throw thin trunks, laying on the ground, out the back very swiftly if ya don't get it right.

great for the 5 inch minus stuff. It will be interesting to see if it clears the small brush with less ground disturbance, less dirt exposure, dust, and need to buy grass seed and straw too.
