- After doing a review of the regular 42 on a 40 a year ago, we got a chance to test a L version on a new 40. I purchased this cutter several months ago but due to schedule and weather haven't had a chance to hook it up and test it out.
The VMC brush cutter.

As a viewer pointed out in the comments, there is a 1 or 2 way circuit selection valve. An image of it can be found on page 54 of the KX040 manual. Turning the value for 1 way circuit can relieve back pressure. However, if you turn this, make sure to turn it back when you go back to using your thumb or any aux which is 2 way.

17:33 - Final Thoughts on this model vs the EXG42
Shouldn't you tie up the hoses? Looks like they come really close to getting shredded by the blades, plus rubbing on the ground is wearing them. But thanks for showing what this does and doesn't do. Very helpful when trying to decide on a purchase. Did you buy this or would you buy this?
Good video on explaining the basics of our VMC 42L
Did you rotate the valve under the right hood from two way to one way flow sending the fluid back to the tank? The biggest issue I have running a cutter is how much fluid is diverted from the aux port when you have to move or certain movements with the dipper and stick. It really slows things down. I have a RUT mfg cutter and they used some type of braking in the pump that really looses the momentum of the blades as fluid is diverted. Maybe as a safety item to stop the blades quickly, but it's a bit annoying and it's loud when it does the braking
Thanks for adding the info for people watching. What Steve is referring to is there is a 1 or 2 way circuit selection valve. An image of it can be found on page 54 of the KX040 manual. Turning the value for 1 way circuit can relieve back pressure. However, if you turn this, make sure to turn it back when you go back to using your thumb or any aux which is 2 way. I'll add these to the comments above. The video is just about the issue if the pump is mounted wrong or lines are hooked up wrong when you first get it because generates some questions. Otherwise it's really about the difference of the 42 L vs the 42 on a 40.
I’d like to see what that thing would do to those pallets.
From experience this cutter will shred those pallets to chips. Just not sure I would want nails laying around after shredding.
How much did it cost shipped? Thanks.
I think they are around $4500 shipped. But if you find a dealer, may be less if as they may can get a shipment of more than one to offset the cost.
