Another farm project where I was hired to mulch dead and dying trees. Preparing for our next fire season. These were dead and dying trees. They were cut and piled into the drive rows. I could have claimed the slope and mulched much of these trees where they stood. Unfortunately the hoses used to water the trees was still in the orchard and was buried under all those weeds. So it was easier to c...
Brush Pile clean up

I had an avocado orchard that was overgrown and full of dead trees and brush. The owner wanted the orchard cleaned up, the trees trimmed that were still alive, and all the brush mulched up on the ground.
Forestry mulching

Mulching, avocado, wood and brush along mountainous drive roads. These trees needed to be cut, and all the brush and wood brought down to the road where it could be chipped and chopped by the tractor and the mulcher and the chipper. This entire project was almost a month long And I did my best to video as much of the project as I could. It was a good experience and going back of these videos. H...
Mulching dead sticks and twigs
Переглядів 248 місяців тому
I ran around miles of drive roads, to find piles of sticks and twigs that the farmer had his employees drag out of the Avocado, orchards and pile in the middle of the roads, so I could come along and grind them down to dust. The problem with the sticks and twigs being in the orchard is they were in the way of sprinklers, weed control, and picking of the fruit. As you can see, this is very steep...
Mulching, dry, avocado, brush, and Wood
Переглядів 679 місяців тому
Working on a steep hillside stump in avocado trees, and mulching all the wood and brush. Because of the steep nature of this area, the trees must be cut and thrown down onto the drive road, and then chipped and chopped, shooting the chips over the hillside or using the blade or bucket, to push the chop material over the hillside. This is a good way to reduce the size of a tree to make it easier...
First Stump with the New SG40
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 місяців тому
New SG40 and it’s first stump. It’s a 36” Palm tree stump total time was 13 minutes with cleanup. That was the amount of video in shot while grinding. My small grinder with a 13 hp with green green takes about 40 minutes of grinding. I tried taking large enough cuts to bog down the miter just to see what I could get away with. Very happy with the results so far. Looking forward to a good hardwo...

Avocado fruit set follow up
Переглядів 237Рік тому
This is a follow up video from an avocado orchard that I stumped about 7-8 years ago. The trees were neglected, not watered for a few years. So we came in and stumped them and chipped all the brush back onto the ground. I came to remove a willow tree that had fallen over on top of a couple trees. So whilst I was here I looked at the surrounding area for fruit-set. They are looking a lot better ...

Pulling brush down a hillside with pulleys and rope
Mine starting smoking today and throwing sparks then noticed a screw had fallen off it may be the case. Have an appt with a tech but think im gonna try and fix it first if not yet damaged the starter
@@huero8184 mine started clicking a few times before it would turn the engine over. I stuck my head inside and had someone turn it over so I could see what was happening. That’s when I saw sparks fly. It was loose and had a bad connection. I hope your turns out just as easy to fix. Thank you for watching my videos. I hope it helped.
@@southcoastbrushcontrol9048 thank you
Hey, where can I buy that diamond wheel?
@@carlosvillalobos2105 I purchased that on amazon. It was about 20 bucks a couple years ago. Still works. If you are on Facebook, there is a group called stump grinding society. Lots of helpful information there
Just came across,and subscribed
@@MillersStumpsandFirewood712 thank you sir. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos
All that is good, but I like to see the finish product. How well the property looks after the job is completed. That helps you decide if you want to hire that person. So show some of your finish work.
@@eugenejohnson5822 I will work on that for the future. Thanks for your input.
Inventional.
Got to make things happen.
If you could only afford one piece of equipment, my choice would be a track skid steer ✌️
It all depends on what work you are doing. But from my point of view I would agree with you
Dunno what is in those mulching videos but loving watching those. Nice work
@@marcinsiwiec5049 thank you. I very much appreciate your comments. Thank you for watching my videos. Your feedback helps me know what people think about my work.
Forrestry mulchers are marvelous machines, eco friendly to environment. Grinds up brudh to decompose naturally.
@@danajhasalvegas5819 thank you. I appreciate your comments. Your feedback helps me understand what viewers are thinking and helps me with future content.
Full video nice work.
I think you do a great job editing. Are you running carbide?
Thank you very much. No I’m not using carbide. I use the fecon Axe blades.
good video
Thank you very much. Appreciate that you took the time to watch my videos
Well done.
Thank you Keith.
In my opinion, any mulching video is a good video. The natural sound of mulching is preferable to music. My favorite viewing angle is when the camera is mounted outside of the cab giving a first person perspective of the action. However, that view is the most hazardous to the camera.😊 Please upload more videos.
Thank you Jeff. Appreciate the feedback and comments. I’m working on new videos as we speak, or message. Thanks for watching my videos
I like seeing what the machine can mulch down and sounds of it let’s see it grind down some small trees next
Where you found the bearing
I found all the parts at my local Vermeer dealer.
I have a wood pile I need to get rid of.
Wow, could I have fun with that. Pretty impressive machine
Thank you. It is fun to grind wood.
Adapt and overcome
Great advice thank you.
Grind on my friend
Thank you will keep on going.
This was a fallen Eucalyptus tree. One day before the person moved in.
Nice job and machine 👍🏾
Thank you
Do you have to pull the wheel to get the shaft out?
Yes we had to pull the feed wheel, but not the blade drum.
I love brush smashing
Great to see the butterflies coming again in some decent numbers.
Those are some big g pieces of wood.
Were you going all the way to the top of that hill? And what slope do you think that was?
I just started resharpening my 1100 series Green Teeth cutters and haven't had the chance to try them in field. What's the performance difference in the flat and concave teeth...??? I can't see where you've followed up on the process and performance of either.
Thanks haylee, first I don’t have anything as big as the 1100 series, so you probably have a lot more horse power than I do. I’ve noticed as I sharpen I loose the cup and they gradually get flatter. They seem to be less aggressive. But they still work great and last a long time. I use to use the old style with a shank and a fingernail tip of carbide. Those would get dull pretty quickly. And much harder to change. I hope that helps a bit. I would love to hear how you feel about them when you have a chance to use yours the next time you grind a stump.
@@southcoastbrushcontrol9048 Thanks for the reply. I acquired a Rayco RG 1642 pull behind that was literally in pieces. It's a 42hp diesel that was fitted with 1100 series at that time. To tell you the truth I'm not sure these large teeth don't hinder the machine's overall performance. I'm going to drop down to 500 or 700 series when I use up the 1100 series that's currently on the machine. I burned up a second hand Chinese grinder last night after sharpening 5-6 teeth.
Thanks for the info. I have an old pull behind stump grinder I was thinking about putting bigger teeth on. It’s 35 hp. I don’t think I will do that now. I’ll go with the 500. That way I have all the same teeth for both machines. Also it’s time to replace this machine. I’ve been thinking seriously about the bandit Sg 40 with tracks. Any thoughts on it? The tow behind I have is an old Hodges from the late 80s. It’s a pain in the a$$. All I usually need is small enough for most gates and take my time grinding. I also have an old dosko I’ve replaced everything more than once. It runs great and Will remove large stumps if you have the time and energy. I’m getting too old for that. I want something that takes a little less effort if you know what I mean.
Hi, I have 2 with the same problem, where do you buy the parts?
That was the problem I was having. I couldn’t find the repair parts. I scavenged all one weed eaters I could find. I finally made my own as the video shows. You need a splined shaft. I happened to have an old one that was broken. So I salvaged the parts and made my own. I’ve made several and I don’t need them. The first ones I made are working years later.
Have you considered repairing one using something like JB Weld, or another epoxy? I was considering using the original plastic part, filling it with epoxy, then shoving the metal "key" in.
Yes, I’ve tried that. Jb weld and epoxy. Nothing holds for long. I’ve had no problem with the technique I made in the video. In fact, I’ve not needed to repair them again. They are still working several years later. You just need a spare shaft .
Just need a spare splined shaft and if you can save the small square shaft inside.
what size wheel should i use for 700 and 900 teeth?
I don’t know what they recommend for this sizes. But that wheel would probably work just fine on them as well. If they are still only 20 bucks I would just start there.
They often go the other way when pups are around. They leave them to hide so they don’t lead you to where they are hidden.
Dude, that's a lot to do with why we have guns. Our country is dangerous, even the animals want us dead. Ask any Aussie. They're more afraid here than they ever would be in Australia. The only place that wants to kill us more is Africa. Even the flies there want us dead.
Thank you, good perspective.
For a job like that, what does it cost you per hour on teeth / maintenance / fuel on that machine?
5 gallons per hour in fuel, teeth are 2000 per set. Cost of everything has skyrocketed in the last couple years.
I'd drop them if it were close to my house.
Thanks Chris, these coyotes have been pretty regular around my place for awhile now even caught a young one in a skunk trap. Apparently they have pups right now and are vigorously hunting for squirrels. Me and my dog go out and chase squirrels with the truck. Well the coyotes have been around during the day and the weeds are so tall they are hidden until we spooked them up. My dog likes to run them off, but this time they ganged up on him. That was a little too close. Not sure what to do next. I have a golf course that wraps around my place and a neighborhood across the street. Difficult to use a rifle with so many people around and the danger of bullet going astray.

Yes
Excellent full swings, left and right.
Yes that is a really nice machine
Thats a fortune in scions. They go for like 5$ a scion
No Grafting on this project. Just cutting them back to start over.
Doesnt seem too safe
It was very scary in a few places.
Mulch and inject job done.
Was mulched very heavy a few years ago. The ground just eats it up. It’s amazing how fast it disappears.
@@southcoastbrushcontrol9048 they love their own mulch. We chainsaw it all up on both our Orchards. Best weed supressor of all. Labour intensive but goes a long way. Then just top up and gap up with chipped trees or pine bark We are in New Zealand.
Thank you Greg. I thank you for your comments and watching my videos. Keep up the good work.
He could notttt run my machine
Awe come on. I promise not to hurt it.
Sometimes you just got to get the work done. Give it hell, grind it up and move on to the next job.
Great video and great work. I'm doing the same here, in Tenerife, Spain. 2.500 mature trees, some over 30 years old. After three years pruning, the result is fantastic. Fruit well over 200 grams, even 300. Before pruning, 100 or less. Eseential de height control, no more than 2,5 or 3 meters. Before, 5 meters or more. Very costly to harvest or to treat pest control and less light. One question: the heavy pruned tree needs less water? It is not true the more water (with a limit, of course) the better? Here, for the moment, we dont'n have problems wiht the water supply. Thank you.
We don’t water these trees after stumping. Trees without leaves can’t use the water. No evapotranspiration. If the weather is warm it will evaporate. So occasionally we need to water. As the leaves start to grow we increase. A lot of farmers stumped during the drought to save water.
I'm building a stump grinder..the cutting wheel is 10"7/8" x 1/4" my question is I need the teeth and assembly for the teeth..what will work with 1/4" thick wheel?
My small machine has a 3/8” wheel, regular pocket and use short bolts. They should work well. Use the 500 series of green teeth they are smaller.
chipping on site is the best
I totally agree. If I can leave it I am a happy guy.
Where at??
These were at the Santa Barbara butterfly grove
@@southcoastbrushcontrol9048 just stunning!!
Thank you Rose, we absolutely love it when they appear in such beautiful numbers as this year. We hope it’s another great year next fall.
I wish it always went by that fast.
That's no mouse, it's a BIRD! 🥴😆
I totally agree, but that’s what my bird identification guide said he was called. Thank you for your reply
I dont understand what are you doing. You will need a long time to get the new avocado tree
Thank you Moh, yes it will take 3 years to start growing new avocados fruit again. This block of trees produced huge crops of fruit for many years. It became a bit over crowded and the farmer wanted to add mulch to the soil and give the trees more room to grow. It was time to stump them and start over. If they didn’t stump them they trees slowly loose production and grow closer together. This saves water as the smaller trees don’t need much. Water in our area can be very expensive and due to drought sometimes not available. This technique helps in overcrowding as well as saving water during a drought. Thank you for watching and asking questions.
Getter done
That’s what we try to do
Whats the bearing number
I have a KOYO bearing number is 6210RDC3 I hope that helps
Where do you guys put the wood chips after they are chopped? I am curious.
Hello Kash, I have a few farmers that take most of the chips. Also home owners want some for home gardens and landscaping
I use to run into those things when I was a kid. They scared me pretty good. We were told they were deadly. I don’t believe that is true. At least not the ones around here.
Yes we did
