Brings back memories of my Marvel tree cutter, now Brown manufactured, I think. Bought new 900$ in middle 70s, used it 20 yrs or more. Looked terrible but I got 1500$ and buyer was super proud. It would mulch a tree when it was on the ground. Had 4 cutter blades mounted to a heavy flywheel, black smoke rolled till you got the rpm up.

It looks to me it would be easier to use the forestry mulcher first taking out the small stuff and then use the rotary cutter to cut the trees. Would using a hydraulic top link with the cutter help the felling of the trees. I vote for Tonya to have a microphone on while videoing so we can hear her opinions and most of all hear her heckling you. Thank you for your videos I enjoy the content. God bless!!

They work much better when you have a hydraulic top arm to adjust the tilt of the saw blade. Twice as handy for taking trees down, more safely too. Allows positioning the push bar from the seat, with the hyd. top arm. Mine is the TurboSaw, but essentially the same design and use. It is a very handy tool to have.

@TonysTractorAdventure5 ай бұрын
Thank you. I have never had much use for the tree pullers on a tractor. If it small enough for my tractor to pull up, then I just mulch it. The other issue is, many people bend their loaders with tree pullers. I have about 3 hours of time on this cutter now. I have learned how to use it much better, but there is so much to learn. Like you, I find what I like and run with it.

I'm not an expert, but I'd say the recommendation to approach a tree from two sides to cut the larger diameter ones should be avoided at all costs. (Now I'm editing the comment to mention - watch the whole video - he addresses this at/near the end.) If you break one side of the tree and then go to the other side and start to cut, the tree won't have enough left of the pieces that keep it from falling over, and it could fall on you instead of away from you. (again - watch the video to the end) That push arm on the cutter doesn't look like it'll push the tree over far enough until the cut is too deep. But - that's a cool tool!

I think that's a terrible idea, it's just a matter of time before you get a widow make in your lap. Also you will bend the 3 pnt arms and PTO, I guarantee it. The 3 PT is for pulling not pushing. To add to it a light weight ms250 is a lot more versatile, you can't fell in any direction with that attachment. I bet it's expensive to boot. I just don't see any positives to this attachment

This vs a 3pt mulcher / flail? I just bought my kioti, and a frf165 articulated flail. The hammers are formidable. It will do every bit of the 3" max diameter. But ive got a ton of 3-9 inch sweetgums and feel like this and a grapple would serve me better. The flail would do better on the scrub brush and black berries thickets. I wrote it off originally because i needed to mulch/dispose of what i cut. I thought the flail was better leaving next to nothing on the ground, but im spending a lot of time with the chsinsaw cutting and limbing everything over 3 inches.

I have a lot more time on the unit now. It will cut down 10" trees with ease. It will do bigger if you create a face cut with the unit and then go around to the other side. And to compare a small unit like this with a $70K to $100K excavator makes no sense. Not to mention a cutter head for the excavator costs upwards of $30K. It is like someone telling you to buy a semi-truck when all you need is a pickup truck.
