Excavator with Fecon FMX 36 Mulcher. Mounted on a Yanmar Vio 80 excavator. Here we are clearing brush from around a house that has not been maintained. With the excavator we are able to work with precision around an old fence.
My other Channel DIGGINLIFE DEEPER- / @digginlifedeeper3670
I really appreciate the way you try to inform and educate the viewers.
It’s my pleasure. Thanks for watching
Hey Todd, I subscribed again. Its been two years. I unsubscribed because I had a heart transplant and couldn't let myself get my hopes up of returning to dirt work. Well tomorrow I start a new job excavating. Ill be buying my own equipment one day soon. Glad to be back watching your channel... I asked about your tattoos on a live show you had and you said time and your daughter I think were your interest and inspiration. blessings and glad your around still.
My last project was cleaning up a 5 acre lot where the homeowner had the trees mulched and then the mulch spread over the entire lot. He decided he didn't want that any more. I spent 5 days cleaning up the mulch. The mulch had to go in a dumpster. I think we filled 7 or 8 30 yard dumpsters. It was a ton of work. After that job I am now an anti-mulcher!!!! lol Cool tune right there in the middle of the video btw. Keep diggin Todd!!
Most of these utube guys get all offended if you ask what they charge as if its some top secret thing. You got the balls and confidence in what you do to be right up front with it. That's got my respect! Do you prefer knives or carbide teeth? Great work! 👍
Mike Kopie knives all day long. They do the best job. However, if I was working ground with a lot of rock I would lean more toward carbide.
Good to know and thanks again for info
Agreed. Todd is the first one I've heard mention price. That's because he's straight up and doesn't try to hoodoo anyone. People appreciate honesty and openness.... My prediction is Todd will be much more successful in business that a lot of these other "UA-cam mulching stars". As always, great video, Todd!
Watching the mulching head work really makes me smile. Looking at a job like that just makes my back hurt. Really appreciate the insight
It makes quick work of it. Great to see ya in the comments as always my friend
Thanks for the video and the knowledge. That attachment is a beast!
Good video. Thanks for talking about price if some of the jobs. Keep the good videos coming.
Michael Koop you know it
Todd , You are the man . Thanks for your honesty and sharing your profession. Who knows one might be in the picture for me ond day . I'm in Hawaii and I think mulching would be a great side to add .
I think your prices are very fair . When you add up a $20,000 attachment , a trailor , a truck , a cdl license , tax , tags , insurance ... even at that you have to keep things moving . Over here it cost $400 a day to RENT a chipper shredder ..... If you account for the difference in looks and curb appeal for that property , that guy just added about $20,000 to his property value .
Great job. I hope they pay you to get the fence out and finish it up. I would love to see the entire property after you have had a chance to do a complete job. Have a great day. Glad to see you back. Hope you had a great vacation.
Brent King -gmail King Hilton Head was awesome. Food was even better. I’ll be doing some more video tomorrow. I will be making quick work of that fence.
I love your content and really appreciate the tutorial. I'm a big fan of Upstate Brush Control who run the same head on a skid steerer. Skid steerer vs excavator. I guess it's whatever is the right tool for the job. Skid steerer seems to finish better but you have the reach. Although if I'm an arborist I'm not sure I could approve those dead limbs left in those pines. Haha great video.
Thanks for watching!!! I’ve run both. Up here in the mountains definitely skid steer. If I was flat country I’d definitely be owning a skid steer
Thanks for really teaching man! That type of information is needed God bless you
Torrandine Harris I’m here for ya my friend
Awesome video I hope to get the that kind of business one day
I just bought a little lipa ltbe-70 for my Kubota U25-3s. You would be surprised at what my little set up can plough thru!
I wanna be like you when I grow up👍
Great video enjoy watching 💯
Sandra Stanley Thanks Sandra 🙏🏻
Almost 4000 subs! Cool..
Did you pick up your mulching heard from Carolina equipment also Fairview Road?
Hi, at this date I know you took all the signage off the yanmar, but what size is “big yeller”? And the weight? I’m looking and hoping to get into the brush mulching as extra income after I retire. I love your patience and help with getting other to get started into this. Back in Louisiana, I probably can’t charge what you charge in your area but I’m not looking to get rich!! Thanks so much again!! Bobby
It’s a vio80 20k lbs
What pro vs cons of Drum head vs Disc head? I’m looking to start doing this .
The biddest advantage of a drum is you can control which way the debris is slung
great vid! why there are 3 lines connected to the head? I thought only 2
Everforex Canada the smaller one is a “case drain”. The head has a pressure relief when you hit something too hard. That line is where the fluid is diverted to
@@DigginLife21 im getting my first excavator and mulcher too, what do you think between fecon and another brand called fae? thanks!
Nice work! Looks like the Fecon head keeps debris very well controlled. I have a brush mower on a small excavator. I can't get close to houses or the windows will be blown out. Do you have problems with debris doing damage to homes/buildings? Thanks!
A few windows have fallen victim to the debris
@@DigginLife21 vinyl siding doesn't like the debris either. Ask me how I know. 🤣
Do they have one that will run on a 6 ton ex?
FAE BL1/EX
Seppi also has a really good unit called the MiniBMS
Thanks y’all
Do you charge by the hour or by the acre
Most often I charge by the job. Usually a one day minimum covers the small jobs
Awesome video, do you feel I could run a VIO-55 with the smaller fecon head? Some of the customers I’m going after have smaller yards. Also, I have a 1 ton Ford and trying not to upgrade truck.
Is the head variable torque? FAE seems to have a cool little head, as does Torrent. The Fecon looks to be a great product as well. Thanks for the help!
Isaiah Burch a 55 can run it. I’m not sure how well though
$20,000 for a mulcher attachment ......... I had no idea ...... 😎
did you ever give a price to charge for that ?
Now that is how you cut down a tree and wood chip it to two machine in one
Bubba's Property Maintenance makes life easy for sure. I do prefer a chipper if it’s much over 6 inches
i have also ordered the fmx36, the dealer will install the front window protection for the machine, do you have any ?
Nope. Standard glass.
What happens if you hit a rock with that thing?
It’ll usually just chip the tooth a little bit. If I hit a big rock really solid I’ll stop and check the teeth. Most times I can sharpen with my grinder. If the damage is severe I just change the tooth out
Oh ya. Not too bad. Thanks for the reply.
Why did you stop
Ran out of time. I’m gonna try to finish up this week
Too much editing ruins videos.
Music ruins construction videos.
Lots of people want to feel like they are there in person watching something being done. Not with a bunch of editing and camera tricks.
Kerry Ware Thanks for the feedback.
