What a beast! Just found this channel somehow but enjoyed how you demonstrated and reviewed this cutting machine!

[@ralphbranham8663]

I always enjoy the time you take to explain what you are doing 😊😊😊 .

[@brittcofarms5620]

I think Rutt has good products from what I see and from here in NC makes me want to deal with them even more. I think considering you're on a machine that you have never operated before it's doing a fine job. Thanks for sharing this for us to see.

[@Teresa.T]

Wow 😳 Not familiar with all of your equipment, but we absolutely love watching you clean up overgrown properties 👍 Take care.. fans from Middle Tennessee.

[@idigit4967]

Thank you Teresa! Glad you are enjoying the content!

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to review the Brush Eliminator Excavator Attachment.

[@idigit4967]

Of course!

Hi, I am liking this little setup. This is the size of setup I’m looking for. I’m hoping to invest in this very soon, within a couple weeks!!

Nice job!

[@idigit4967]

Thank you Glenn! Cheers!

[@user-dt3zi8tz5y]

Love your videos, I'm learning so much. A huge help in finding the right machine for me, just ordered a brush eliminator. My couplers are in the same place as yours and it measures 24" from the couplings to the bottom of the quick coupler (kubota kx033-4). Would you help me, can you measure the hydraulic hoses and get the length? As you know, the eliminator comes with 8' hoses which would be way too long. Much appreciated, THANKS!

[@robbinstruckinglandclearin786]

I need one for my 305 does a nice job

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Like your channel, machine is kinda light duty compared to your other machine. Works ok, but slows down alot compared to your "beast" yet i would be great for those with landscaping business that did not go into such "Jungles" like you do..keep up the great videos ty sir From Texas Bear

[@garybritt1209]

Looks like it does a good job for the size it is!

[@idigit4967]

Yeah I was pretty impressed with it for the size of both the machine and attachment. Thanks for watching and commenting Gary!

[@garyjcsizmar4636]

@@idigit4967 your videos are a lot of fun! They remind me of why I don’t hunt in the coastal Carolinas anymore. Hahahahaha! I think back to the days of scouting for deer while looking at a topo map and using a compass and carrying a brush ax. Too old to get into the jungle anymore.

[@CBobbya]

I’m doing the research for getting my hobby started, but how do you charge for cleaning around ponds? I don’t need exact $value, but do you charge by the hr, job or yardage? I know it depends on how much debris and kind of debris. Thx. Love your channel!!

[@patrickgipe905]

Awesome vid. Looking at Brush Eliminator vs VMC which has more of a deck design vs open blades....would you recommend one over the other? price is similar and just using for personal land management....no commercial work...on IHI 45NX 11K lb machine. TIA

[@drewgardner81]

I had the mini mulcher on a TB260. It did a good job

[@AllstarVentures]

Mini mulcher does a good job on my JD50G also. Got the additional blade carrier for it and that works nicely too 👍🏼

[@idigit4967]

Yeah I've never heard anything but good things about Rut, and I was impressed with this cutter for sure!

[@batterpm11]

@@AllstarVentures I’m looking at a rut mulcher for my 50G also, any reason not to go with rut? Does it process the material pretty well?

[@AllstarVentures]

@@batterpm11 you’ll have to take a little more time with it vs. a drum style mulcher but it’s done a great job for me. I like the versatility being able to swap blade carriers. Essentially you’ll have a mulcher and brush hog for less than half the price of a drum mulcher. Also like that it has a grubbing foot on the back of the unit. You’re able to rake stuff to you and pop out smaller stumps 👍🏼 Really comes down to what you’re looking to use it for and the production you’re expecting to get from it for the money 💰

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice

[@JCourts2k23]

pretty impressive

[@idigit4967]

Thanks Josh! I was pretty impressed with it too!

[@JCourts2k23]

Keep up the great work!!

[@michaelhenderson1972]

did you consider adding more counterweight to the rear of the machine so when to extend out over the side the excavator doesn't get so tipsy?

[@jeremyc9229]

Good product! Only thing is, watch out on what you will be throwing out the front or right side. I was over 300’ feet from my house, and hit it with a rock. Luckily, it missed my window, but dented my cement board siding.

[@Breakinlife007]

Now that you have had some seat time with the TB with this header do you wish it was one size up TB240 or more?

[@cathiwim]

Does the machine bobble because its off balance if the head gets too far away?

[@rusty1569]

Can you use the thumb against it ,if came across large tree limbs etc that need to be moved out of mowing area?

[@rossnolan2883]

Cool 😎

[@idigit4967]

Thanks Ross!

[@rossnolan2883]

@@idigit4967 👍👍👍

[@jamescalley3087]

Did you need a case drain to operate this brush cutter

[@williambryant5946]

The only thing I don't like about those cutters, any of them; is the flow to the cutter is stopped when you move the other controls. I'd want an independent hydraulic system for the head so it stayed spooled up while moving. I'm sure they're available but you gonna pay for it. That cutter seems to work good for what it is. 👍

[@idigit4967]

Yeah that can definitely cut into production. The new Cat 309 excavator has a dedicated pump for the auxiliary lines so when you are cutting and moving the boom and arm at the same time the cutter won't slow down. I hear it's a pretty nice machine!

[@williambryant5946]

@@idigit4967 Well if Cat has put it on there tractors then the other companies will start doing it too probably. 👍

Gum trees, in my opinion, should be the lab rats of forresty machinery training. 🙂

[@idigit4967]

LOL I agree with this Jeff!

[@85ccmaster]

Cat 308 with a diamond 3 blade brush cutter is powerful combo

[@idigit4967]

No doubt but the 309 is better as it has a dedicated pump for auxiliary attachments like brush cutters and mulchers and such.

[@85ccmaster]

@@idigit4967 I agree, a mulching beast

[@AllstarVentures]

That cutter set up on momentary switch or constant flow? Mine is momentary and I can let off the switch for quicker response to the other hydraulics. I didn’t think I would like it at first but it’s proven to be very effective once I figured it all out

[@idigit4967]

It has both a constant flow button on the left joystick but you can also work it with the thumb rocker switch if you want to hold the rocker. But I guess you could just hit the button on the left joystick everytime you wanted to cut it on and off I suppose.

[@AllstarVentures]

Yeah, I’m just used to working the thumb switch at this point

[@idigit4967]

Hyd. motor has bad sound the longer you run it oil mite be to hot? Or bad Hyd. motor?

No its just the way those motors sound, its completely normal. My MTL sounds the same way.

@@idigit4967 It is ok!

[@jamesbagos3459]

The added weight of the thumb doesn’t help to counter balance the setup

[@AllstarVentures]

Reading through the comments, you can probably tell where the 👎🏻 came from. Can’t please them all. Maybe they should start their own channel and show us how it’s done 🤷‍♂️😂

LOL for sure Joey! Yeah you can't please everyone, but I do really appreciate the support from all the people that enjoy watching! Thanks brother!

[@charlesmactaggart1676]

The sounds that thing makes reminds me of old Godzilla movies.

LOL

[@ErictheAmateur]

How does a 26 horsepower motor run a 3.5 ton excavator? My 54” John Deere lawn tractor has a 26hp motor and it can’t cut my field grass without bogging out.

[@idigit4967]

26 HP diesel is different than a 26 HP gas engine.

[@adamluke1289]

@@scottlee1211 It's the hydraulic brake and it's normal. If you watch Letsdig18, he got one last week or the week before and it does the same.

[@AllstarVentures]

Can hardly hear any noise from the cab as an operator. Turn on the A/C and radio 👍🏼

[@idigit4967]

Yeah it sounds loud on the outside but in the cab, you can barely hear that thing run, I was blown away by how quiet it is inside the cab of that Takeuchi.

[@qrptedmac]

So I’m not following. Did you buy that machine?

[@idigit4967]

No I was just testing it out and reviewing it for a client/good friend of mine.

[@dds02d]

Yeah those hoses are long. I can see something snagging them.

"Rut Row Shaggy" Great band name.

[@idigit4967]

LOL you know it kinda is!

[@edcox9136]

That hydraulic pump can't put out with that head needs you can hear it it keeps slowing down

[@idigit4967]

That happens with any attachment on a mini, happens with my Kubota U55 all the time when I am running the brush cutter or mulcher. The only machine I know of that won't do that close to this size class machine is the Cat 309, it has a dedicated pump just for the auxiliary lines that won't slow down when moving the boom or arm.

[@johncriswell1106]

I would like my 13 minutes back I wasted on the sales pitch before you ever started cutting ...... First rule of video: Show then tell... Cut first, talk while you are cutting... this thing should never have run more than 3 quarters of an hour. Hoses are way too long...you and need a set of slack-springs... you will snap one of those off after hanging it up on a sapling or ground brush
