You're killing it on them intros. Great video. Props to those engineers who built awesome machinery 🖒

I really like the head on the excavator!! looks like a lot less tracking of the machine and you can take tree down and mulch it all in one!

Awesome job . Like the saddle grab on the end of the mulcher head on the excavator so u can grab stuff with the thumb and saddle grab .

Very cool intro! The turning the head on and off to move brought back some memories! I miss mine a lot but not enough! LOL! Good stuff!

Thanks for sharing Sam, that head with knives kicks butt over the FAE w/ carbide. I haven’t switched to the new knives because of the subsoil area I was working in. I also don’t have the tilt option which would be nice. I’m getting ready to move to new location on the property and will put the new teeth on and see if it wakes it up a bit.👍👍👍

How do you decide when it is cost effective to drop trees and send to the mill. Some of these look like they are worth saving, but I am sure there are many factors at play here. .....tree diameter, quantity etc. Please elaborate....great videos

If we can get a full load for the logging truck then we save the logs. This job didn’t really have one good log so all grind them up. Trees can’t be smaller than 8 inch in diameter and needs to be 17ft or longer.

Love the intro!

Nice vid, honestly I don't see how you could have done that job much quicker. Like you said there's no way to get carbides on the head so your limited on how low you can get with it, just not worth destroying the knives.

I assume the 080 has high flow auxiliary hydraulics. That is not standard on those excavators, correct?

I would think the local city would have contracts where that head would be ideal. I know the road i live on and alot of roads in this area would benefit from such a tool.

Old barbwire nothing like it to put the spintizzy in your temper and make you want to gremlinate the equipment.

Hey great video, I'm trying to make a decision, would you get a excavator with a mulcher or skidsteer with a mulcher when getting started? Thanks

I imagine stump grinding with that head probably shortens the live of the teeth significantly.

@@VBELTandSON 10-4. I could see how the fundages for that head could've been more useful in other ways but, it's one of those "you never know until you try it" deals as there doesn't seem to be any small scale mulching like that until you're into the size of your kobelco and bigger for track hoe mulching and again a whole new set of logistics. So what about that takeuchi excavator you videoed when you and boss hoss v-belt went and picked up a new mulching head and an old one you used to own, would that be enough machine in the "mini excavator" category to run that dcr head on the 080? Not implying you should hock the 080 or anything at all, just remembered that other excavator Jim had at Global, you said in the video it was next caliber up from the 080 cuz you and hoss went back and forth him thinking it was the same size and you certain it was bigger and ended up being so. Although thinking how to spend Sam's money is alot easier than trying to figure out how to spend mine 😉............I know that suggesting you "just" swap out the 080 is not even a close to a possibility lmfao, like me saying "I'm tired of this damned G56, I think I'll "just" put an Allison 1000 in er................. ya f-ing right woos, win the lottery then go nuts all you want!

But I agree with you, it would be fun!

BAD. ASS.

Subbed 👌

Hey Sam, just came across your channel and awesome videos for the handful I have watched so far! Subscribed! Hey, have a question and I think you would be an expert to ask. This is going to sound silly and crazy. I started out about 20 years ago doing light excavating with compact equipment. Let me give you an of the fleet. Started with a Bobcat 773 skid steer, T200 track loader (recently upgraded to T770's) , 334 , 337 & 341 mini excavators (recently upgraded to E45's & E85's - 2 each) , Hitachi EX120, Komatsu PC120, T9 4x4 backhoes (4) , Leeboy & Champion motor graders (upgraded to NorAm 65E ) , Cat D3C dozer Cat 933 track loader, Komatsu D21A-7 dozers (upgraded to D21A-8EO (2), Komatsu D21S-7 track loaders (2) and 4 Cat 920's (upgraded 2 to SDLG 918F's love them!) - other equipment Red Rhino 5000+ track mini crusher , Red Rhino 3 Way Screener, Rotochopper MP2 horizontal grinder, a Cord King CS27-40 (Model 60) firewood processor and a Wood Mizer LT70 portable saw mill. I know, I know I get asked all the time why tinker toy equipment? There is even a local mom & pop restaurant called The Hard Hat where we are known by the larger area companies as Tinker Toy Construction, but its a running joke. Over the years it was light excavating, which for the most part has had lower operating and maintenance costs and has allowed us to charge premium prices with less overhead compared to most larger companies in our service area (Central Ohio). Anyways, as recycling has grown, so have we. But we still have maintained or compact equipment size. We still do excavating within our limits, but, again, we have gotten far more into recycling. We process any old asphalt and concrete from our jobs along with processing organic materials. Our small dozers and track loaders are nimble to get through woods and around small properties pretty handy and unlike the track skid steers, the compact track loaders with their steel tracks can take the abuse better of gathering , loading and processing asphalt and concrete better. Plus if anyone is familiar with any of this compact equipment, we can process on site if needed or haul back to our yard. On the organic side Sam, we have a few competitors who are also doing land clearing and are running track skid loaders with forestry mulchers as well. As you and many show in your videos, trees and brush are ground up and left... and you move on. We go in and clean all of that up and take it back to our yard to process in to compost. We also work with our competitors on land clearing rather than burning brush piles, we will process it. Anything we can salvage tree or log wise, we saw up into lumber. Other larger tree limbs are processed into firewood and small limbs, brush (with other clean organics) are ground for composting or used to make wood pellets. Okay, so here is my crazy silly question! We have a lot of Bobcat equipment because of we have a local dealer in Wooster, Ohio. So we are running Fecon and Bobcat Forestry heads on our track skid steers. The problem is when you get them on any kind of slope, you barely have any traction if at all! So we drag everything down to more level area for processing. Now with you having a Rayco C87L, you also know they are headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, my hometown. In fact, I remember as a kid when John Bowling started out in the late 1970's and went to school with two of his nieces! In the early 2000's when I started John and his company came out with the C85 compact crawler. That is why this is funny, crazy and silly. It was far more expensive than I could afford at the time and just starting out as well. So I'm looking for a steel track compact forestry mulcher that had grousers we can use on hills. I have been around Wooster and central Ohio most of my life and never have stopped out to the plant to get info. However, we are no considering getting a couple used Rayco C87L. I'm wondering if you can give any pros and cons on yours and do you have any more videos on this unit? How does it do on slopes? Do you have a Rayco mulching head on it or another brand? Lastly, loved this video and the tilt Denis head for the mini excavator. I didn't even know they made tilt heads, but definitely saving this video as we need a couple mini's set up the way you have your Kabota! Thanks for the awesome info and love the intro! Definitely following your channel to get more great insight!

Make that $25,000 head pay for itself.
