Sam, thanks for the information on the hood that is found on the FAE shredder. You cannot really tell that the FAE has an adjustable hood because there is no visible ram--it’s a chain mechanism on the inside--but it works, as you say to put the chips where you want them. Great videos--I learn things every time I tune in. Thank you!
Nice to see the new rig working😃. You were not bouncing around in the cab like the ASV, looked smooth and very capable. I sure wish I had one more of me, you two are a great team and fun to watch, thanks for sharing Sam 👍👍👍
Robert Cotrell JR a while back, Sam checked out an ASV unit and between not being used to the suspension design, the terrain and or the controls he was bouncing around in that rig more than the TL12, not sure why and only have two or three videos from inside a skid steer from Sam.
Robert Cotrell JR Are you looking for a new machine? I’m a DIY land owner looking to add a skid steer to my tool box. I have several friends operating Cat299’s, ASV RT120’s. Not sure where you are located or if you have local options to check out a few different machines like I did, I think you will find the TL12 a very nice unit. I do not have a lot of experience and am not a pro, but I do ask a lot of questions and am looking to make an informed decision when buying equipment. I am not done with my research, probably never will be🙄. Try as many machines as you can and see what they do best for what your needs are.
Fosters Firewood & Equipment Services yeah I just looked at my phone videos I had some more actual vids not time lapse I forgot to share in this video. Haha not bad for a skiddy :)
I run a overseer 100 with a second head. 5 days ago the side cab glass broke out and I have been mulching without it. Wow it really sucks when everything gets sucked into to cab,🤣 any ways I really enjoy your videos
Put some Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle with some water, mix it up and spray where hydraulic fluid hit the paint. That will stop the hydraulic fluid from rusting out your paint so quickly.
Wish I could run a mulcher on my place but the rocks are just too big and too plentiful. I might consider trying the FAE stone crusher attachment and see if it will shred wood along with the rocks.
You can take a little of the jumpyness of the loader arm controls by turning out your priority valve. That’s what I did on my 12v2. It made it to where it doesn’t beat you to death...as bad lol
Aaron Gasque yeah I need to toy around with that. Used it a few more hours I got a little smoother. Not so much rookie level but different than what I’m used to
How’s the temps looking on the 12? It’s in the upper 80s here in the Dallas, TX area today. We are on a pretty thick clearing job and already dealing with overheating
Mitch Himes filmed a clip of it with gear gun. Temps going into hydraulic cooler were 124f. Outside temp was 65-70. Ran for more than an hour. Will be adding extra cooler for sure when summer really hits here. But so far so good
Wish it was still in the 60s here... good’ole Texas summers 🥵 Any recommendations on an aux cooler? I’m thinking that will be next on our purchase list.
That's one thing I like about the FAE is the chip dispersal. My prinoth doesnt do a great job at it, but the visability and manuverability is better. Just throw both of those heads on the trailer and use the tak with both 🤷♂️
Fire Skid used to do that. One machine two heads. Got tired of swapping the heads back and fourth. All to happy to just hop into another machine and save some and energy. Is the Prinoth head the same drum as the awhi?
V-Belt? I was curious in one of the earlier videos did you speak about the Kubota? Asking because I just wanted to hear feedback on how they run for this industry.
V-BELT and SON just curious as I think it would be a good candidate for a guy starting out. I have a good ASV dealer near by and 2 kubota. Dealers all with in 20 minutes. The price for the kubota seem like it could trump the benifits of the ASV.
Kurtis Tam Sing yeah I’ve checked out fecon. Cut pretty good. But they don’t have a door on the front. Also had bad experience with our old fecon dealer
V-BELT and SON I see. Should go to the expo when they have it and talk to the Fecon guys. We have a customer that talked to them and they changed the design. There good about listening to their customers
Kurtis how do you like the 380s? Have any secrets to keeping debris from getting inside them? I put foam where I can and a screen across the back. It helps but isn't perfect. I'm looking to get a fecon Dcr for it.
Matt J you can go to your local dealer and ask them for a debris kit. You will need to flip your cab to install. It’s all 2 way tape style foam and rubber. Also where the hydraulic hoses come out to your drive motors you can use house spray foam and spray them in that gap. Let it foam up and dry then cut remaining.
You did a good job mate but you could have done that job with the excavator by itself by stacking all the timber and burning it all. Ends up being better for the ground than mulch. Forestry is so expensive to buy/run/maintain. Excavator with grab isnt too bad.
@@VBELTandSON that's crazy, I live in ky about 25 minutes away from thoroughbred and have bought parts from them for last few trucks I've had... crazy to see that shirt thousands of miles away from where the shop is... channel is awesome...
