Taking small bites out of it also helps spot hidden hazards like solution holes and hidden ditches you can have fun getting stuck in. I use a rotary cutter and with that you have to lift and drop it a lot more, like using a lawnmower to mulch tall grass.
@@UpstateBrushControl Doing doughnuts while mulching hahaha kidding. How about a day in the life of a forestry mulching co. Preparing your equipment for a job (checking it, servicing it) loading it up and then of course the grinding.
I see you have the adjustable push bar. When I am in the tall thin stuff, I like to run mine in the forward hole so that it pushes the material over a little more before it cuts it. seems to have a little less come back on the cab. However, I am mulching pole poplar in northern, MN I may be comparing apples to oranges.
What is a good price to buy a used machine like this? I wonder how many years old is the sweet spot. 3,5,7 years old? I’m considering an asv or Takeuchi. Thanks..
Hello. As i am looking to buy one of these exact same untis for work here in my area of Texas, i was wondering where and how did you come up with the setup for the back of this ASV? I can see where it would help protect your equipment. Keep in mind i'm paying cash for the complete outfit, and i would like to see a few strobe lights on top of the machine. Before i get started, i would love to have this outfit that you have on yours put onto mine. Any help would be grateful. Love the vidoes. Thank you kindly. Scottishxpride, Texas.
We did all the work in-house, we bought the metal at the scrap yard and it probably took two days to put it together. We have tried strobe lights, but they kept breaking off, ha ha. If you come up with a good way to keep them on there, let me know.
It's been a great head, until yesterday. I hit a man hole cover on a sewer right-of-way. It ripped the tooth holder off. It's not fecons fault. no matter what brand would of hit that thing it would have done some serious damage. Still love my fecon head!

I thought about adjusting it, but I welded mine fixed with the vertical bars.
That bamboo is a nightmare
That's a good machine. I have seen videos where the driver goes all over the place, I don't like that
My god that’s a sexy machine tool combo

good video! Good technique! You might give a shout out to V-Belt logging.....that's how I found you.
Me too!
Man y'all need is a Brown tree cutter, they make it for your skid steer also
I'll pass on the Brown tree cutter and stick my Fecon
Tony Allen Fecon is the standard by which others set the bar. There is no comparison.
@@MajorC202 Fecon builds a nice mulcher... but there is no manufacturer that is objectively better than all the rest.
What kind of cutter teeth are you using? Blades or carbide
How does the ASV in terms of fuel consumption? If you ran the machine steady for a full day, what's your typical fuel consumption?
50-60 gallons. Wide open all day long, shes thirsty, but she gets it done.
@@UpstateBrushControl what is your break even cost to run this machine hourly.. 150?
How do you like the fecon head ?
