I decided it was time to try out a FECON Bullhog for the JCB Teleskid 3TS-8T to help speed along the cleanup of invasive thorn bushes!

How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a RU-vid channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

You should get drone footage of all your pastures before you do everything you want to do with it and in a year or two when you get done with it I think it would be very interesting to see how much ground you reclaim with something like that

@best7466 Год назад

Like really!

@HuntGamingProductions Год назад

This

@chrisrussell8903 Год назад

Upstate Brush Control channel is probably the best place for Fecon drum mulcher head videos.

@heatherkohlwey8379 Год назад

The cost and lack of everything is outrageous. We really need to start making things here again. Stay safe and God bless.

@chrisk6474 Год назад

Those fecon mulchers are an amazing piece of machinery. If you have a any type of land clearing or maintenance, the fecon makes the job a much easier proposition. Great stuff❤

@georgedavidson1221 Год назад

I really like seeing that machine work. The more you clear the more you are worth land is worth real money

@cassiuspuckett8789 Год назад

Nice upgrade to your pasture reclamation. To reclaim pasture so your cows have more food stuff as well as more roaming ground is a big plus to your farming operation. Great video Ryan, thank for sharing.....

@mikeanwender339 Год назад

Upstate brush control has one of them. He has good videos on how to use it .

@tokencivilian8507 Год назад

Those forestry heads are beasts. Great to see you reclaiming acres for productive usage.

@SuperScooby70 Год назад

Nice upgrade Ryan! Definitely much better suited for the work you need to do.

@ryanwaege7251 Год назад

All credit to Hannah for standing in front of that monster to film. Always happy to hear when a farmer exercises a healthy respect for safety - many before have lost life or limb in farm accidents.

@lt1nut Год назад

I'm thinking that it was sitting on something that doesn't breathe. ;)

@thomasmiddlebrooks5169 Год назад

You should purchase a dozer and clean up all those overgrown sections up. A dozer would make quick work. That mulched is awesome though.

@kenthorsen4558 Год назад

That forestry head is going to help you reclaim the field edges and the pastures, the honeysuckle and wild rose brush sure can take over. My son has one where he works and loves it. Have a great weekend.

@jerryhill681 Год назад

that tool is going to do a tremendous job of improving you pasture. Will easily pay for itself.

@stephenwheeler8628 Год назад

Ok, that is just a ridiculously effective piece of equipment. What a beast!

@mailpup Год назад

There's something so satisfying watching the heavy overgrown brush being cleared.

@Blazer02LS Год назад

Get a front screen for the JCB, poly scratches MUCH easier than glass and a good screen can keep the scratches away longer. Get a pin on design and you can remove it easier. The ones I've made just use 4 tabs welded around the window opening and have a slotted bracket on the screen. 4 hitch pins hold it in place. Makes it easy to remove when not wanted. You can also upgrade that head if you can find a chunk of heavy grating, bolt it between the uprights to stop all the small stuff from getting through. Handy tip for nice looking areas, run it into an area 2" or so off the ground to get the majority, then tip the head down and set it on the ground and back over the area. That gets the leftovers and it picks up dirt and chips and mixes it somewhat like a tiller would so it looks better and rots faster.

@e.a.bfarms Год назад

Put the mower on the deere and run both this winter and you should have a clear pasture by spring thaw!

@SimonKL11 Год назад

Your pastures will look awesome after the brush is cleared👍😉 looking forward to see more of the mulcher😁👍 Nice video👍👍

@hanshardt6122 Год назад

that mulcher will work great for clearing fence line. Might want to get new carbides

@jacmccauley7581 Год назад

By the time you get done using the new head, hopefully you’ll be able to maintain it with the brush mower

@georgedavidson1221 Год назад

Ryan you need to get some native grass seed down on that land before all the fall rains come

@Badgermatt-nc5nr Год назад

You should talk to Jon from Upstate Brush Control, he is the King of Fecon and forestry heads on RU-vid. He has toured the factory and done some R & D for them as well.

@michaelc9128 Год назад

Nice upgrade Ryan, last time you did your brush cutting video I suggested you get a forestry mulcher..hope it works out for your needs those drum mulchers are super expensive 💰💰

@jolietjohn8024 Год назад

The hammer style mulcher is a real ground eater. Have a plan for wire though.

@chadengemann8237 Год назад

I am making the call now you will love it and find many more feilds and pastures to do and it wont leave the farm. I could see ryan taking it to the valley feilds ito get his feild edges cleaned up.

@birdfeeding Год назад

That works really well!

@FollowingKeenan Год назад

For our bobcat the polycarbonate door is a must. It shoots stuff everywhere. Very helpfull attachment. In our area Cat rental rents the 499D skid steer and mulcher combo for $2500 a week.

@jaredjohnston9549 Год назад

Here are some of my findings running mulchers. 1 Use an angle grinder on the teeth you will get more life out of them. 2 Avoid rocks not your friend. 3 Like you said hardwoods dont grind up well 4 since the jcb does not have a external cooler watch the oil temps mulchers can be hard on hydro systems. You probably knew all of that but hopefully somthing was helpful. Fecon makes a very good product nice find and happy mulching!

@mitchellgourley4642 Год назад

Good job Ryan keep it up I like to see what I can do

@troyp467 Год назад

Buddy bought a FAE mulcher up here in Manitoba a year or 2 ago. More expensive up here unsurprisingly. Seems to work good, won't doo huge trees or anything but sure cleans up the Willows and scrub

@felixzapata1402 Год назад

...cannot even imagine the noise output of one of those things...and I didn't even see any earphones or plugs anywhere! Great job!!!

@aaronborash6862 Год назад

I work at a construction equipment dealer that sells fecon. Their heads are the best you can get honestly. Very simple strong design. Vibrations come from uneven worn teeth or on the Vermeer ones it was from bad head bearings but the fecons almost never heave head bearings go. We get a local electric motor repair that comes out and balances them for us

@jasonstagman6773 Год назад

That thing is awesome!

@wyattlee1294 Год назад

Great attachment the company i work for only use the fecon with a ASV rt125 and rt135. great side business to have we charge 425 and hour.

@brittgempeler9145 Год назад

I saw this sitting on the lot where you bought it and thought that's what Ryan should get to clean up the pasture area. You can take a grinder and touch up the cutter teeth on the front of that unit. I would check out the RU-vid channel upstate brush control and maybe talk to them and get some pointers on running at it as well.

@gpax-6197 Год назад

You’re going to love this machine. My money says you’ll keep it. I’ve used them several times on my farm.

@brittblanton8342 Год назад

Awesome piece of equipment Ryan, I had never seen anything like it before thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸

@mattgrover9562 Год назад

Those mulchers r worth there weight and gold u do few custom jobs with it and it could be a good side hustle

@CGW116A Год назад

Nice new accessory. If desired weld or bolt a wire mesh vertical screen onto the head to create a shield. Cheaper than windshields. Save the laminated glass as the poly carbonate will fog over time.

@kirklothert3435 Год назад

Another video. Sweet. Keep them coming Ryan

@ianhaggart1438 Год назад

Ryan and his jcb and mulcher goes to say hello over the neighbours fence line 😆 mean machine.. looks a heavy bit of kit when it got put on the trailer but the jcb handles it well. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@billwieland8497 Год назад

ALMOST looks like too much fun for one person! Thanks for posting!

@bluefleet1655 Год назад

for sure, got to kit the JCB up to be more forestry safe. though drum mulcher, really is the better win as you are able to clear a lot more area without going over it multiple times and also mix it into the ground(if you can dig into the ground a bit). make your life so much easier than just using the bush hog which that is good, but in wooded area, not the greatest.

@blessingsviewfarm705 Год назад

I have a mulching head. Using the carbide teeth work great for areas where there may be hidden rocks. Knives are awesome! They speed up the process, grind into smaller pieces and are cheaper. But a rock will play havoc on knives for sure.

@stewartscenturyfarm238 Год назад

Had the john deere version for my 333e. One of those things if you have it you will probably find a use for it. Also be very diligent about getting material off and out of the machine to help keep the risk of fire down to a minimum.

@jerryminney3555 Год назад

Hello Ryan That thing is a beast it eats everything in its path . thanks for sharing and take care

@Blueriverfarms Год назад

Nice up grade! Fecon makes a great aggressive eating machine. I ran large Fecon machine on the front of a Hydro-AX power unit and could clear 5 plus acres a day on golf courses construction projects. Teeth are expensive and seem to wear fast on rocky ground. Speaking of teeth or cutter bits, looks like you could use or may need a new set? Base upon the stumps you were chopping on; they should have disappear with just gravity down pressure on the unit; base upon my experiences. Cannot wait to see what you do upon getting comfortable in running this unit. My advice, consider heavy duty forestry overhead protection rack for the cab of the JCB; sometimes called the headache rack. When the widow makers come crashing down on the cab you will be thankful and soon realize why guys and gals call them head ache racks. Welcome to the logging and forestry world.

@digger5858 Год назад

Another GREAT video Ryan!!! Looks like it will do the job for you

@thomasvogelgesang667 Год назад

I have seen the mulcher's work before. They do a fantastic job. Cool video.

@earllutz2663 Год назад

It's mind-blowing to know that a machine like that humongous mulcher exists. I agree with one of your commenters who said that you should get some drone footage of this machine, in action. The drone footage may help you sell it, 2 or 3 years down the road, if that is your plan. I very much enjoy your videos, and was glad to see Hannah with you.

@Blazer02LS Год назад

That one is a baby. Local utility runs a 10 footer on a 400HP loader chassis. That thing is scary when it runs, reminds me of the things in The Langoliers eating everything in sight.

@peteparker7396 Год назад

I’ve put thousands of hours using mulching heads. Nothing to be afraid of you just don’t stand in front of one and don’t nose it over to far where it can fling things back. The two things I noticed, the knock down bar is rolled to far back. There are holes to adjust it further to the front. The other thing and it’s a big one, your machine. Isn’t set up to truly run one. The constant flow causes heat. And you don’t have an additional hydraulic cooler. It will wear out your hydro system in a hurry. I also think you dont have enough flow. The fecon are good heads. Keep the bearings greased regularly. The best mulchers in my opinion are diamond mulchers. They have more and smaller teeth on the drum where the Fecon has bigger and less. Takes more power to run the fecon and the teeth do not last as long on a fecon.

@docphillips5153 Год назад

local utility uses them to clean right-of-ways on the cross-county power lines. They have piece of chain link fence on the bracket. thing is awesome. Be careful and safe

@busterbailey370 Год назад

Great video Ryan thank you

@erickey1066 Год назад

ive worked on them for years and toured the plant along with taking a 8 hr class on the new stuff years ago

@fazerainbow5674 Год назад

awsome video ryan yep those things can be scary for sure you never know what or is comeing at ya got to really watch where and what you are multching for sure other than that great handy tool to have i belive the brush mower is more safer but yet this thinng does just of a good job at what the brush cutter can do thumbs up and shared

@jeffslaven Год назад

What a beast! Look forward to seeing more of it in the future! Great video Ryan!

@heavyhauler79 Год назад

pasture clearing made easy.

@charleslynch7274 Год назад

Very kool congrats on your purchase be very careful wich is seems like u are

@davidchapin8297 Год назад

I think you are going to be very happy with it. I was thinking the other day that you needed something like this. Then you go and get one.

@NYN021 Год назад

It my dream farm 💜

@nikphoenix Год назад

Need to get Hana with the Deere loader and grapple to move/clean up stuff. Then once you finish up most of your fields you can start cleaning up neighbors pastures for side gig.

@jddriver9565 Год назад

that is what is was thinking when i heard the price, holy cow! but if it helps you its a good investment!

@patkelly7999 Год назад

Great stuff Hannah and Ryan, well wear, its seems really smooth, I was more afraid of that other weapon You had, happy munching😉👌👍💪🙂

@zilla2006able Год назад

nice upgrade Ryan

@1layerba Год назад

I believe you have to get the drum balanced and tuned for your specific application. From my understanding the brush will eventually over time grow back because all the the mulcher head does is cut material flush to the ground. You must maintain with a brush killer or the mulcher.

@HowFarmsWork Год назад

We have a UTV boomless sprayer that I've been using to keep the brush down and give the grass a chance to grow. Works wonders

@brenthoffman3832 Год назад

It's about time this mulcher wil make a huge difference.

@denisricher1349 Год назад

Ryan, Take a look at Upstate Brush Control.... Forestry mulching Pros.... good place to pick up tricks and hints

@SJS-wq5wg Год назад

04:51 'custom destruction' nice marketing slogan😆

@chargermopar Год назад

That is the best way to deal with an overgrown area. Rotary drum takes less beating than a rotary blade.

@scruffy6151 Год назад

Upstate brush control is the channel you need to check out this is the type of work they do.

@ranger5721 Год назад

there will worth it once you get it and it be able to chew up alot of wood. and even sometimes a front cage also helps and you need to rev it up to higher speed then it will really go to town

@hopeherefords8122 Год назад

Awesome wife allowing that purchase Ryan! Is that your/her wedding gift! J/K 😂

@planeiron241 Год назад

next purchase is an excavator then bulldozer, clear those fence lines clean those ponds

@talfacprez Год назад

Hanna needs to be on The Price Is Right.

@farmshoffman8475 Год назад

Great awesome video Ryan , mulch everything u can .

@rtz549 Год назад

Look into seeing how to precision balance that cutter to make It smooth on the high flow setting.

@hfff1 Год назад

Ryan, I'm so happy that you are going the forestry mulcher route. It is the tool that you needed for cleaning up your pastures. It is very gratifying to see all of the old trees obliterated. ru-vid.com has many vids to kind of pick up tips and shows how he does it. Have fun and stay safe.

@DELirious97 Год назад

It always suprise me how much damage you can do with one of them things. Definitely a bit of equipment that needs to pay attention with. Can imagine how bad thing can go with a wheel of mass destruction

@jimstoneii875 Год назад

Looks like it did a great job 🤠! Be safe!!!

@johncolasanto605 Год назад

Awesome purchase.... that will help you out a lot on the farm... you might want to check out John from Upstate Brush Control Keep up the great work & stay safe!!

@robertduffy5302 Год назад

HI chain link fencing could help I saw farmers in Mo use it when brush mowing in rocks on the back of there tractors . To protect them from flying rocks and stuff.

@typeebs93 Год назад

Honestly Ryan I would keep that attachment around and do some contract work with that. There's always property owners that need something like that done

@cdarting91 Год назад

We call masticcators out here in the West Coast.

@ronniewalker2881 Год назад

Good 👍 job man

@koolman2021 Год назад

Awesome nice job 👍👍💯💯

@wadeleming601 Год назад

I used to run one on a bobcat, problem is that the return bypass line isn't able to handle the flow if it gets stuck on a big piece of wood and it will blow out the o ring seal of the pump. I was always told fecons we're designed for Cat and ASV.

@waterskiingfool Год назад

We have something similar at work, they do nice work. But we never go spray what's left, so the brush grows right back

@mattriver Год назад

Just awesome I want to see more of this Monster

@leol1682 Год назад

Ryan that mulcher can eat Brush .you will have more pasture for your cows .

@ivanfabjan8154 Год назад

That's a nice, clean job! 👍 Do you also use to log some trees for firewood?

@jeffreyhouston2043 Год назад

You're learning the hard way, mulch it first, then you can maintain it with a rotery cutter.

@patkins8319 Год назад

That mulcher looks like it could go through anything with some new teeth and probably a bit of maintenance. Looking forward to seeing the work it does.

@Metalmaxm Год назад

Maybe put a heavy duty wire mesh in front, so debris cannot hit you. It will be less visibility tho.

@benflint9877 Год назад

You are definitely going to want to keep it

@andywintz959 Год назад

Can’t wait to see more destruction! Looks like fun to run!

@jamesmerkel9442 Год назад

The macine head needs balancing best way is new teeth but if u use the old teeth just use it on low. But if clear missing prt u just need a tooth u get block weighted same as a new tooth. Then u need a 1/2 a tooth weight to bal a 1/2 tooth actual tooth.

@daleley7645 Год назад

Looks like it leaves a nicer finish that the fidget spinner of death.

@larrysheriff8251 Год назад

Hey Ryan and Hannah, That is great maybe you could hire it out from time to time and keep it around. Yes a good buy. Take care, Take it Easy and Trust JESUS !!!!!!!

@shadlambert8799 Год назад

Can’t wait to see more from that

@dustup2249 7 месяцев назад

I have been curious about matching a 3TS-8T with an aux high flow rate of 33 GPM to a mulcher that requires a minimum of 28 GPM and can take up to 45 GPM. I'm pleasantly surprised with your results. It can be done without stressing the 3TS, and it's understandable why the pair struggles with substantial hardwood stumps because the Fecon has reserve if JCB beefs up in future teleskids in the compact range.
