I am just getting into this line of work starting a new outfit over here in B.C. and was on the fence about the size of the 040 as well as type of mulcher but man your videos are so helpful and shed a lot of light. Going to go with this exact setup most likely now LOL. Really appreciate it man.
If you had removed one bolt and the pin for the cylinder, you could have lowered the gate to get to the side you needed to. Sounds like it would have been a lot easier than taking all the other hoses off. Removing that pin and putting back in is not hard at all. Just a thought,
This is my ideal set up. Just gotta find the funds to purchase it. My wife has already given me the go ahead on it. My local store has one set up with a fecon muncher on it sitting on their lot. I keep going by and looking at it.
Next time if your hose breaks with the flap fully open,just disconnect the piston from the door and let it down,you get full acces without opening the back door and disconnecting 3 hoses
If I was you I would send my guys back with the 8 ton with mulcher and a bucket so they could move the bolders to the edges of what you mulch. It would just make it faster next time and leave it cleaner looking.
nah most platinum's don't look like that, you have some protection over the back seat...... Who does that???? plus the back is way to clean where is the tidy tank with a filthy hose thrown in the bed?
Here is a dumb question, but maybe you can help since Kubota/Napa/carquest can’t. I have a 2016 KXO 57 and I’m trying to hookup a blue diamond Extreme duty mower. I’m almost there. But I am having trouble with the flat face hydraulic couplers.. what is the size male needed for the bypass.. we have tried Oring 10 and the factor plug is misleading them all.. lol Great videos and I appreciate any help
350/040 is easy. What about 550/080? NSC, IFTA, IRP plates, logbook, cab card, trucking insurance, all scales, whatnot else.. or there is a way around it?
Hey there. I'm thinking of adding the new BL1/EX/VT to my Takeuchi 257FR. Will the unit you have deal with brush/trees that have been piled up? We have been pulling trees and bush with the excavator and piling it. Was going to rent a 12" chipper, but I think the mulcher would be way quicker and easier if it can handle that situation. Thoughts??
No actually the Mulcher does very poorly when the trees are already cut. It pulls the whole tree through the head because it’s not being held back by the roots.
Personal preference I hate the bed cover , I am I flatbed and toolbox/transfer tank guy If bar oil grease , diesel get on the bed that’s wood it just treats the wood, you got some nice equipment to work with and set it up well , it’s just old school vs milineal generation
To many hidden rocks in the thick brush I imagine. I thought about one on a skid but it would be a waste of money with the rocky ground in most parts of Eastern Canada.
So your running this on a stock 40 with no mods. How does the case drain work. What operates the doors. Do you need the extra hydroelectric line. I want to copy your setup on a 2022 model. All help is appreciated thx
I know this is a matter of opinion but would you recommend the mulching head for a home owner who has 80 acres of woods to clear out the underbrush or would a more frugal (half the cost) mulching head work. I have no desire to go into business...I just need to clear out the underbrush in my (currently) unmanaged forest. 1) would the 4 ton excavator be a good tool and be able to maneuver in and around dense trees and work on slopes...over a skid steer and 2) is the FAE a "must-have" or would a more frugal option be sufficient?
