SHREDDING TREES with VIRNIG Disc Multcher - V70 TDM

[@awy1977]

Definitely impressive seeing it take down that big tree, but for my land I'll opt for a drum mulcher. Leaves a finer residue behind, clears below ground level so I can mow over it, and the cost to hire the job out is no different.

[@eosjoe565]

Looks more like a Feller/Buncher that's missing the "buncher". :-)

Let us know how you recover from the atomized poison ivy in your lungs. If you want to really sell more, don't demonstrate it as a chainsaw or forestry harvester. For 1"-5" or so heavy brush, as you drive it along it draws the trees into the upper chamber and shreds them down to tiny mulch way, way quicker than a drum mulcher. And you don't have to drag the teeth on the ground near rocks. The outer teeth are to get things cut so they can be sucked into the upper chamber, and the bottom teeth are for cleanup. A video showing common brush cutting/mulching challenges and how they are met with a traditional brush cutter/bush hog, a flail mover, a spinning drum mulcher and then this machine will be very helpful to your customers. 4 devices at 4 very different price points appropriate for 4 different but overlapping clearing challenges.

I’ve seen this type of machinery before. Go talk to your Neighbor the Morgan’s! He had one for less than a month, he liked it!

[@davidhosmer1424]

Does Kubota make a forestry kit or do you add : door, fops shielding as parts? thanks

[@MessicksEquip]

Kubota makes some forestry accessories, there are several aftermarket options for extreme use.

[@JacobTerherst]

Would most definitely want ballistic grade at glass.

[@laerciorodrigues8769]

Excelente equipamento em forma de disco brilhante ideia,sou apaixonado por estas máquinas ,pena que não posso ter uma ,vai ser só um sonho

[@mueckenhoeffer]

Sure looks like an accident waiting to happen. The carrier should have a full forestry safety package as well, just as if you are using a drum mulcher.

[@MyS10Rocks]

Would it work if you were to set the disc down onto the stump rather than moving straight into it? Just curious. Cool machine either way, I can see it grinding a lot of underbrush to nothing!

[@stanhutchins4365]

Is your Kubota standard or high flow? If standard flow I do believe a high flow would be a lot more efficient for the disc. I like it, it destroys the trees

[@AnthonyToppins]

What is the recomended kubota skid steer size for this mulching disc?

[@MessicksEquip]

large as possible.

[@mrdfarms9373]

Nice, total destruction 👍

[@danstevens2204]

That’s one wild bit of gear. Prudence would be most concerned.

[@flomain5252]

A lot of hydraulic stall when you take on trees that size. Stick to 6” or less. Every now and then take out a big one if you absolutely have to. These are not the best idea when you have neighboring houses, because they sometime shoot out sticks very far and can cause damage. When I do take on those jobs I leave about 15 ft of brush along fence lines to try and block flying debris. Then I use my grapple bucket to remove that brush at the end, make a pile, and mulch it facing away from houses. A downside is some customers expect a fine mulch that drum mulchers produce, so let them know before you take on a job. Lastly, they are so heavy and stick far out in front causing heavy wear on boom and coupler. Besides that, they get the job done.

[@Capt-awesome]

Neil. Can something like a forest mulcher be mounted on kubota grand L 6060 HST? Or is there a mulcher that can be mounted on a tractor? Thanks

[@MessicksEquip]

No

[@Capt-awesome]

@@MessicksEquip thanks. Happy Thanksgiving 2022

[@OUSWKR]

That looks like something that a villain would use to try to kill James Bond with!

[@peterbilt5104]

No thanks. I'll keep my drum mulcher

[@mesh1248]

Impressive, How many gallons per min /pressure / hp does this attachment require can an decent sized skidsteer run it?

[@dvan66]

30-45

[@brokeminer475]

Can you direct me to a rental center that you sell these to? I live in NW Iowa. Will travel to pick up. Have several acres of dense willow to cut.

[@NoSQLKnowHow]

What about one of the drum style mulchers for an mini-ex? Like in the 8000 lbs range.

[@MessicksEquip]

I'm not sure they go as small as an 8000lb machine

[@jeffguimond9442]

Rock hound makes one.

[@coopermeshew4298]

Seems underpowered

[@stevewalsh8716]

That’s just how the disc style is , touch the ground and just bogs down, and the Kubota doesn’t have the hydraulic hp to run it either

[@bmiller22765]

Can you do a video about how to move a brush hog away from the back tires, to keep it from hitting them.

[@cptophers4626]

what is the minimum gpm needed to run it?

[@MessicksEquip]

ideally 35+

[@aidanholefelder1995]

Could you make a video on the U series Vs the Kx series excavators? I know they are different tail swings but what are the other advantages and disadvantages of each series?

[@johnparkhurst1141]

unimpressed. that's not mulch it's leaving on the ground

[@FishFind3000]

I’d consider this more a slasher than a mulcher. Drum style is way better than this.

[@justanotheridiotredneck]

Discs are more productive while leaving larger size pieces. You can reprocess material laying on the ground, but not down to the size of a drum mulcher, which is less productive but leaves a finer finish. Each machine has its own purpose and one can't match the other in it's own respective strengths.

[@Julian-do7bv]

I could put one of these to use haha

[@rkwill100]

that is a LOT of gallons per minute needed for that equipment What can be done if my current equipment doesn't pump nearly that many gpm>

[@CumminsTurbo4]

New equipment😂I bet they know a guy.... Jk

[@daveknowshow]

very cool makes fast work of it.

[@FishFind3000]

Drum multcher is still better for complete clearing and mulching and get everything on the ground.

[@MessicksEquip]

This will clear the ground, but the chips are much larger.

[@stevewalsh8716]

Drum mulcher is way better , disc mulchers leave a mess , cants leave a nice finished product

[@justanotheridiotredneck]

One is no "better" than the other. They each have their own purpose. Disc is quick and not as refined a finish, drum is slower and a more refined finish is the trade off.

[@FISHH00KS]

This pales in comparison to video's of drum mulchers. And if someone found this video on KZbin, they'll find videos of drum mulchers. 30% less? it should be 80% less because the idea and likely the engineering started with a rotary cutter and instead of blades it uses a disc. Since the disc spins you can only effectively use 50% of the disc at any time. That information comes from the manufacturers instructions themselves. Not an efficient or effective video coming from Messick's

[@arkyump]

I like scary!

[@bluewaffle1957]

This is what the Portland Police need for those rioters

[@supersonic_bison8154]

Can you get it on a tractor?

[@NoSQLKnowHow]

I doubt most tractors have the hydraulic flow rate to run such an implement.

[@supersonic_bison8154]

Kirk Kirkconnell True I was just wondering if they had a lower “level” model for tractors

[@MessicksEquip]

Not nearly enough flow.

[@dcbrunk]

looks like a lot of liability throwing those pieces, may as well use a rotary cutter

[@5068jdl]

Agee with everyone else, it’s cheaper for a reason. That does a terrible job compared to any drum mulcher

[@alanjackson4397]

Looks too dangerous for me
