This afternoon, I did part of the assembly on one of those mulchers on my first day working at Loftness! One of the reasons I applied to work there in the first place was videos like this showing the quality of machines produced right here in little Hector, Minnesota. I'm proud to be there and appreciate the video. Thanks!
My dad owned one of the original loftness timber axes on an ASV RC100 and the ASV could NOT handle it. It had hydraulic issues at least once a day. The takeuchi TL150 with the supertrak kit was able to handle it much better. It's nice to see how far ASV and loftness have come.
My only experience with Loftness equipment was while looking at 3 point snowblowers. They always impressed me with the quality of their build then. I’m sure that the mulched are of the same ruggedness!
Wow....those machines are AWESOME !! the only problem I can see is if I bought one for my own property I would have my 80 acres in great shape in a week or two , and I wouldn't need it for a few years ! Great Products , I'm trying to figure out how I can convince the Mrs... It would be nice to have ANOTHER "Battle Ax " around here ( husband humor 😉 ) Good Video Brock !! pc
You fellows sure know how to have a good time. BTW, whoever came up with the name "battle axe" for this kind of equipment has a real flair for salesmanship.
Everyday you’re getting better and better with editing and video quality. Keep up the good work Brock. You get any better at these videos and you’re going to make me start up a company of my own! Haha. Actually you turned me on to skid steers. I own a 3046r cab tractor and absolutely have the fact I can’t see what I’m doing while doing grading work with the bucket, or the forks, or the snow plow or the stump bucket… well you see where I’m going with this haha. So, I’ll be selling it and trading up to a skid steer soon. Take care buddy! Hope your grandson is taking good care of his pet frog hahaha
I've got years of work making trails to access all of my property. If I had one of those, it would be over and done in no time. Then what would I do? I'm just rationalizing because I can't afford a skid steer and a mulcher. If I could, I'd do it in a heartbeat! It's hard to believe what can be done with machines like this. Maybe someday...
You weren’t kidding about going to have fun!! Great field trip!! as I have mentioned I have a battle Axe on a Kubota 75SVL HI-flow machine and it is awesome to say the least! You will have to get one soon. The only trying times I’ve had with it is when I have found some stranded cable, hog wire, barbed wire, metal post, engine blocks etc. etc. It takes a while to cut it all out as the drum won’t stop until it is wrapped completely up 😡😳. I’ve learned to really walk the areas that I’m mulching to look for hazards such as those. GREAT video!! 👍
Brock, I hate to say it but I may have to stop watching your videos. After most of them my thoughts go something like this " Dang, I could use one of those!" After a few minutes "But that would ruin my retirement plans and the funding for them...". Just kidding, partly, I will keep watching and you do an amazing job with your videos!
The one thing I wish you could have covered was the amount of heat these mulcher build in the huydrlic system. Most of the name brand machines it will void the warranty if you don't have an external cooler if your running a mulcher. ASV is the only one I know of that runs a large enough cooling system to where you don't have to add an external cooler.
thanks for sharing the video brock, been seeing a lot of fecon brand being used on UA-cam good to see an American made brand going after it. looks like you'll be trading in the John Deere on an ASV
I'd like to hear and see mulching attachments that are rated for lower flow hydraulic like what's on 20-40 hp tractors. My experience is that it's hard to find that niche market.....but somebody must be doing it.
I thought the main benefit, of a mulcher, was the ability to grind below grade. Does the type of teeth, determine the practicality of below grade contact, or are mulchers not the best tool to remove roots, and small stumps.
Yes they can and will grind below grade, but…….. At the expense of tooth life. Ground contact dulls and reduces the tooth life of ANY cutting tooth period. You will just have to turn them and sharpen them more often if you are going below grade very often is all.
@@genewilliams7497 I was trying to compare the mulcher, to a power rake types device, and understand the pros and cons. If I could only afford to buy one, which would be most beneficial.
No, the L series it is designed to be used high flow. One thing he explained to me that I don’t know if we covered in the video is that they can set the mulchers up for different flow rates But I think it needs to be designated high flow so it has a case drain? About 20 minutes into the video we switched from the Badlax to the Timberax which is an older design but still worked really well. Those were designed before they really started making these high flow machines so I think that one does not require high flow and still worked great All this is my understanding from asking questions. I’m no expert and I don’t want to give you wrong information
So does that mean your 325 is high flow? I didn't realize they came with a high flow option. I'm trying desperately to get out of interior remodeling and switch to dirt/land work. Trying to decide what machine to focus on.
Yes it is high flow. “High flow“ is different on different machines. I’m at 32 GPM which is actually really good for this size machine. the other machine in this video is 45 GPM which is top of the line on a 120 hp machine

Give #Upstatebrushcontrol a look 👍👍
Man… I need one on the front of my Ford Van. Rush hour? No problemo. Lol.

The Loftness gentleman seems awesome.👌
Wow, those are impressive. They eat through it all.
Nice video Brock. Thanks for the information and I'm happy to see your success growing on your channel!! Keep it up, sir. You're doing a great job
I used to do that. I loved seeing all the progress after a day of work.
I definitely need one. Thanks for making the video and putting more info out here. Thank you Brock 🤠
Nice! A guy could do some damage with those bad boys lol

Good Video Brock !!
pc
I had the perfect place you could've tested those!!! Love the capability of those machines!
Yes sir. I wish they would’ve let me bring one home
Wow very effective! Every swat team in America needs one‼️😆
Thanks Mucho! That was very informative and enjoyable at the same time.
Death and destruction by power tools.😎
You fellows sure know how to have a good time. BTW, whoever came up with the name "battle axe" for this kind of equipment has a real flair for salesmanship.
That was a very interesting video. Those machines are very impressive.
Nice mulching video

I must be really strange. I love mulchers!
They really are a pretty awesome

Rent for the weekend

"You find it, we'll grind it".

Freakin' impressive!
Thanks for watching so many of our videos. I was definitely impressed with these attachments
Any problems with the machine running hot? I have the exact as skid steer and was think of getting a mulcher
I'd like to hear and see mulching attachments that are rated for lower flow hydraulic like what's on 20-40 hp tractors.

Which piece of equipment is BEST for Mesquite trees?
I thought the main benefit, of a mulcher, was the ability to grind below grade. Does the type of teeth, determine the practicality of below grade contact, or are mulchers not the best tool to remove roots, and small stumps.

The battle AXE is awesome! I have one and probably do bigger material with it than I ought too but is just keeps on going! Hope you can get one soon.
What about all the stumps that are left? Trees are down now you have 1000 little stumps.
Not necessarily. You can grind it down below grade if you want
Also, anything that removes a tree leaves a stump…
I also have a stump grinder
How much money will take to export in India..
Those must work great on homeless people
Is the light version standard flow?
