I heard you say you inner filter is a little dirty. It shouldn’t get dirty unless the outer main air filter has failed. I think you should replace them both.
I guessed about $200 so I was close. Wow! Hydraulic hoses are expensive. Hopefully it performed great after the repair. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there, Hank! 😎👍
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Real busy job clearing all that brush. Busy job for sure. Will be nice when done and you will have extra parking spaces. Sorry about your hydraulic hose. It got caught and torn right up. Mistakes happen. Get it fixed and press on is the way to look at it. Expensive hose I know. You got it fixed so press on. Just a safety suggestion. I noticed you work or walk under the raised boom. There are safety locks for those cylinders. Might be safe to use them. All for now. Thanks for everything Hank. Go back to your parking spots. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy.
I've been mulching on my place off and on for a few years now with my Kubota SVL and Fecon head . While the end results are great and I enjoy it (therapy for me ) it always seems something is leaking, squealing or just breaking. Such is the life of owning and working equipment........lol. Great video . Thanks for sharing . PS.....when brush or tree materials bind up in the head I just turn the head off (the hydraulics to it) and then roll the head forward enough so the drum is in the dirt and then apply downward pressure and then back the machine up. Usually it will roll the debris out of the head and you don't have to get out of the machine. Restart the head and go back to mulching. "Usually" works. Not always.
The most expensive part is not the hydraulic line/hose. It’s the cable. Not in use or not the companies show no mercy when they find destruction of their property.
I have been following you for quite a long time and I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything but this was one of the most fun, entertaining videos I’ve seen you put out and don’t give me wrong. I enjoy most of your videos been following you a long time and I’m not trying to be a hater. It was just very unentertaining.
a very expensive mistake would of been asking the wife if she has put on weight, or telling her she has a few more wrinkles, that was just loosing a bit beer money... keep it up lads
Im sure someone has told you already, but you can try to stick the nose of the mulcher into the ground and back up. That will make the roller on most mulchers go in reverse and is usually enough to free up jams.
Hank I never see upstate brush control or Digit 4 have your problem maybe you should invite one of them over and give you a few pointers great video thanks hank
Yes. But there is no reverse flow on this. I’ve tried every combination there is and, i know this is hard to believe, but i even broke out the operating manual 😁👍
definitely next unit need one bigger and with a reverser on it. maybe a viewer or manufacturer can get you a low hour used one since your using their product bigger badder unit so it doesn’t matter the material cut n go??
Hank I tried to get you some stuff to help you out with spillage of fluids , but the company that would be sending will not ship to a P.O. Box only physical addresses 😢 thanks for another informative video.
I am interested to know if you have tried having the mulcher head up off the ground and do a first pass then come back over it to tidy it up. If you have does it get tangled up as much?
At work we have a skid steer like your's and it had reverse on the attachment if that one don't I would be trading do you have hi flow I be looking at attachment with reverse
just an observation it seems its getting clogged when you're cutting and the RPMs aren't up. you might want to try going 25% slower so the RPMs stay high and it cuts better. ... Its like a push mower when the grass is too high and you have to take half wide passes or the grass clogs the mower. I could be wrong but it might be worth a try.. 25% slower but constant has to be better than stopping all the time.. Then again I could be completely wrong heh.. good luck
I like watching you guys I watch all the time I think you need a bigger hydraulic pump on there to give you more horsepower on your on your brush hog there
When you get material hung up in the head if you’ll turn the head off and roll it forward drive back and forwards some and 90% of the time you can get the head cleared of the material. Save your self a lot of time.
Looks like a process for sure….curious if going at it slower would help keep the drum spun up? I had to get new hydro lines for my front loader on tractor a while back and knees buckled when they hit the total button on register. Prices today sure make ya talk to yourself out loud.
Wow, Hank you have not made any videos of the green house that was given you maybe year ago. I new you wife was going to start growing flowers. But know videos.
I have a great fear of leaving a engine running after witnessing a farm accident when i was young when the potato harvester started moving dragging a farmworker around the pto and nearly killed him we only had a small pen knife to cut him free till help arrived 😢
Must be a low flow machine for it to be getting bogged down that fast. Good little machine for the farm but not for a business. Regardless looks like fun and is getting the job done.
From my perspective you are moving both the skid speed and the drop speed of the mulcher TOO fast ,not giving it enough time to process the debris. Slow both down and it will do a better job.
Hola amigo Marcelo de argentina referente al dinero del camión y la próxima por una camioneta barata después más adelante párese un auto como anda rápido y prática me gusta muy buena ajil para todo terreno me gustó les mando un abrazo y gracias
Hydraulic pump whining noise. I hear power steering pumps on cars make the same noise, particularly on some Fords. They keep on working. My suggestion is if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Be carful with wires of any kind it you are not absolutely sure they have no power going through them. Telephone wires can bite you too and even take a life under the right conditions. Line voltage is about 48 VDC. This is enough voltage to hurt someone. It only takes about 18 ma to kill someone. Always assume wires are energized if you don’t know anything about them.
I worked with 48 vdc for 37 years, Phone, and Phone Related power Supplies and never had an issue with it working with bare hands on live stuff. I can hold 48 vdc across both hands and not feel it. if Damp I might feel it. The Only rare time I got a bite was with Ring Voltage or high-Pot lines. 70 volt high power Audio Amps I can feel if the amp is Pumping out the beans HAHAHAHAHA... Phone Ckts are Current limited, so shorting them together will not hurt anything. It was common practice to short a line pair to "Busy out" the line to take it out of service till a problem could be repaired. .. Ever test 9 Volt batteries with Your tongue ?? Mike M.
you talk about the brush being stringy; slow down when mulching and allow the head to grind it up!!! You are going way to fast and jamming up the mulching head! that is your problem Hank!!
Dig your content and easy conversational style. Not to be critical, but it seemed you had some issues with the attachment. Was that a function of the hydraulic system’s capacity? I do not know, but am in the market for a skid steer for similar tasks. Thx.
I was waiting for Him to shatter the Window again. Yes Hank, leave that on the ground and drive forward, no need to chop trees like that. I'd never buy that mulcher with it turning in that direction. It would be a lot safer for the operator with it in the other direction and people should not be any where around it with it running in either direction..
