Yanmar SV100 and Fecon FMX50... Finally home!

It's finally here! Our new excavator and mulching head were delivered recently. I wanted to do this video to go over some of the specs of the machine and why I went with this setup. I will do some different reviews over time, but you're going to see a lot more of this machine on the channel!

This is the type of job I want to work by my self

[@swancini]

Have a Yanmar VIO 55 and been problem free for 967 hours. Considering this machine now

[@bmulching]

I've been very happy with it

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Looks like that machine works well for you. I'm looking at getting into more excavation and land clearing in the future so you've got a dream job of mine lol

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Any day you get to play with heavy equipment is a good day to me lol

[@bmulching]

Always!

I have seen that same head Ron on a Kubota 57 and it did fine, you should have no issues. Maybe get the rotation coupler, that would be sweet

[@bmulching]

I've seen a lot of 57 size machines running the fmx36, I think the fmx50 would be a lot for that size machine. That's why I was very particular about the setup I wanted.

Do you think the SV100 is to big to feed a chipper in the woods? Seems to big to get into back yards, and close in projects. Just would like your opinion. Thanks!

[@bmulching]

That's exactly why I picked this machine. It will still fit through an 8 foot gate but has 75hp. Most of the 80/85 machines are just slightly smaller in footprint but are about 20hp less. Running the mulcher that 20hp is huge. I'm extremely happy with the machine and its capabilities both in size and power.

[@DonMutchler-om5pg]

@b_mulching You think it would maneuverable enough to feed logs into a chipper in the woods? Thinking of putting a 360 degree grapple on it to aid in feeding. Also loading logs into a dump trailer. I've had people who do what I do tell me not to go over a 16k machine. But they all have 12 k machines. I just don't want to regret my decision. Thanks for your insight! Don

Did you run the kabota before you bought this machine? If so what’s your opinion

[@bmulching]

The biggest machine Kubota offers is the 80. It wasn't one I considered, I didn't want an 8 ton machine for what I need.

[@kevinhennessy6193]

How much did the yanmar set you back?$

[@lawastesolutions]

Can you get ktac insurance or something compatible from yanmar like kubota?

[@bmulching]

I'm not sure, I never checked. I have a business policy.

[@krice24]

Yanmar 100 is way, way stronger then bobcat e88! Want to compare to a cat 310

[@bmulching]

I'd be curious to try the 310 too
