I noticed with the new Mulcher or "Big Mulchie", when you tackled a long at the end [end grain of the wood] it was tougher going for the cutters but, when you went with the drum parallel to the log, it essentially dissolved the log. Oddly, it seems to take the sticks more easily from the ends but the logs parallel because it sucks the smaller sticks in and around the drum of cutters and it looked like it did better with the green sticks because they bent easier to the cutter drum at the higher speed because they are more pliable when green eh? Fascinating to watch it work. Thanks for video sharing these things. I'm pretty crippled up with various illnesses and watching the cleaning up of the woods and eradication of weeds pretty calming :-) Nice work!

I have noticed after watching quite - quite - a few of your videos that the quality keeps improving. Your camera placement is getting better and better, which shows your commitment to putting out a quality product. Also, your narration is excellent. You set us up for the job at hand and keep us involved while the job is going on. You don’t overdo it, which is fine, and you don’t go into “mime mode.” In other words, you know when to talking and when to let the video do the talking for you. I see from the comments that a lot of viewers want you to buy a mulcher, and from the brand name of the mulcher that they throw around, I see there are quite a few fans of Upstate Brush Control watching your videos. Nothing wrong with that. I figure you’re saving up for one - and people, they are not cheap. Again, kudos on another entertaining piece of good work.

Hello there. I really enjoy your videos. I just bought a Kubota CTL and plan to buy a Skid Pro Industrial Open Front Cutter soon. Regarding your video... I'd recommend having several cameras mounted from inside the cab, on top of the cab and maybe low on the outside of the cab. Put all video streams in your video editing software and mix them together. Use the audio from one of the external cameras. This way you could show multiple POVs and maintain consistent audio. All the best.

@idigit4967

Great question! I should have explained that in the vid. The cutter is bi-directional but the teeth only face one direction. This is an earlier model, I think the newer models have teeth facing both directions. But regardless you do lose some mulching capability with the teeth when you reverse the flow but not much and I really haven't seen much difference in the quality of the mulch since I reversed the flow. When I change the blades later this year I'll probably reverse the flow back to the other direction.

It looks like these kinds of cutters need a fold down push bar. As it is the exposed blades cut the growth down low and the tops pile up on top of the cutter. A lot of time and fuel is wasted using a tree cutter as a mower and mulcher. Of course jungle jobs need both kinds. A push bar would make the tree cutter act like a bush hog.
@idigit4967

I would like to extend that push bar out just a bit to help it get the brush pushed over before the blades bit in at the bottom. I think that would help keep stuff from falling back over.
