Your goat question: Short answer is almost. They will strip everything to dirt that they can reach BUT won't eat things with bark. Young 1" trees is just about the limit. What you end up with is a very weird dystopian landscape of dirt, stripped trees to about 6' in the air. It really a weird things to see. But if you just have is grass, brush and very young trees, all that's left after they are done are piles of poo.
Before I saw the video all the way through, I read this comment and was really curious what greatest of all time question Andrew asked. Didn’t realize it was literally a question about goats.
Yes to all of this, and one thing that seemed to have been forgotten over time, cloven hooved animals do something to the earth, not sure we quite have a grasp on it, scientifically, but when you run them on the land, especially ruminants, the natural grasses wil come back. I've heard dozens of testimonials about how ancient grasses come back, in areas where it's been gone 300-400 years. The only way to really explain it is that the seeds lay dormant, indefinitely, and are just waiting for the hooves, sun, and poop to activate them to sprout.
@@CallOfDutyHeadShot69 same lol
Pigs are also great at clearing land and they will kill trees of almost any size.
@@401ak5 Dammit, now I won't be able to relax until I research this phenomenon.
"It's too underpowered!" meanwhile im sitting here with my jaw on the ground watching it suck in 6" pine trees in half a second
I thought it was odd that he blamed the power issue on the mulcher. The skid steer provided all the power. The mulcher is just an attachment being driven by the skid steer. His bull in a China shop approach gave way to a more finessed approach and he seemed to figure out what it could handle.
Nahh its a piece of crap for 18k
@@cancermonkey7334 yes, the machine provide the power; but if the motor on the moulcher only can cycle lets say 18 psi before the overflow valve opens, then that's what you're gonna get even if the pump can push 24 psi through a system.
Machine ain’t a high flow either
That thing could benefit from an RPM Gauge on top of it to give you a heads-up.
“Ah naw, if I gotta tell ya which one, its not safely”. Made me laugh because I thought the very same as soon as he asked which one.
Oh so funny!
I went looking for this comment, I thought the same ! Lol
No joke, same here.

All jokes aside, he is a pretty safety conscious person.
From the time I started watching the video he had me hooked the camera angles are exquisite and I love how he seen something leaking unscrewed it and got down to the bottom of it! Superb job
"Me having to tell you which one, is not doing it safely" You should put that on a shirt Mr Camarata LoL!
came here to say the same thing
18:44 Literally the only time I’ve ever seen Andrew show anger.
good catch!
i thought the exact same thing ^^
Must not have watched the bulldozer starter replacement episode.
He edits that out.
That wasn’t anger. That was frustration. When you’ve got that many moving parts in your life. Sometimes it’s frustrating. The fact that he didn’t edit it out is what I thought was interesting. Because at the end he then offered up a juxtaposition. This guy is one talented individual!
Bro, I could watch you for hrs, you literally leveled a darn forest, and i'm seriously jealous of the equipment you've acquired for yourself, well done dude, and good job with the scrub.
There are wrench flats on those hydraulic hoses so that you can hold the hose so that you do not twist it when you are tightening the fittings. Your hoses will last longer if there is no twisting tension in them when you are using them under pressure.

@Tremolux Man I did.
I did!!

Yup!
I have watched this multiple times now. Such a good video. It’s satisfying to watch. Andrew should look into a high flow conversion for his TL12 and get a severe duty high flow brush cutter…

for a second when he was driving toward that old barn with the mulcher I thought he was going to try to mulch the barn lol 😆 😆
Yup, I just commented this lol
I've seen it done to an old house
The barn was another job! He clean it up inside and out removed a lean-to side of it ! The owner is going to restore it ! Go back you can watch him clean it up!
same here
@@KG-yn9qi , They removed the rotten wood and got it down to the structurally intrieguty. It looks like all post and beam with not one nail used in the structure. Nails will create rust and rot because they weren't galvanized back then. They used wooden pegs. That is why the structure is still standing and has lasted for so long. Roofs come and go.
When he went to the worksite, first thing he shows is that old barn. I thought, oh no, they gave up on the barn and Andrew has to mulch it. Haha.

Once when I was 14 my friend and I ran over fence in my 57 international. It wound the front right hub and drive line up with wire.

Referring to the original poster, the Old Testament, in which the book of Numbers is found, is precisely that: the Old Testament. In other words the old Law.

I really wanted one of those mulching attachments until I saw this video. Thank you for showing the problems you had and not glossing over them. That’s what people need to see when they are looking at a new machine

I remember that video, it was when he hit a goal in membership. That was years ago. I think I found A/C channel when he had 11k. His friend Jesse Muller that is seen in many of his videos also has a great channel of doing his own stuff. No chainsaw stereo installs thow. RIP inspector Levi.👍

@@CranialAccess, There is a bunch of channels from that neck of woods that you have mentioned. Yet if you are interested in automotive hairballs that the dealerships and local shops give up on check out South main auto. If you are also interested water check out post 10. Have a great weekend.
@@CranialAccess, Jesse's channel is amazing. When he did the transmission tear down on the dump truck it was amazing. Even his dad will comment once and a while as he proud of him.
That is impressive for a low flow mulcher. He definitely needs a 100gpm high flow machine. There is no stopping those beast.
Definitely NOT a good idea, since the moulcher is only meant for 30gpm. Pushing 100 trough it will cause it to overspeed and maybe even trow a teeth or something. Plus that wouldn't even solve the problem, since the motor doesn't produce enough tork. What he could have done is get the bigger motor with 150cc instead of 100. Thought that will decrease the maximum speed, it will also increase the maximum torque.
damn I was super impressed. looked very effective as is IMO.
the skid steer solutions video shows the 60gpm version and it destroys trees. I think he needs a high flow kit for the tl12 and the high flow mulcher.
I might not lose any limbs.@@techtastisch7569 This is probably the max for the average operator. Andrew would likely be safe/comfortable with more power but liability is probably the limiting factor. I could tear up 1/2 of hell with this thing and only lose a songle limb.
@@largebuny3960 That is not an issue for sure, since there are bigger motor options available. Actually Andrew got the smallest one
You made that acreage a desert. OUTSTANDING!! Looks GREAT!! That cutter is a BEAST!!
That is a ton of work for 2 days! Awesome job! We have a diamond brand 6’ high flow on a 120 asv forestry tracked loader and it’s amazing, there is certainly a learning curve to running it but once you get the hang of it it’s irreplaceable, great video :)
Based on the video, do you think your high flow has much more power? I am considering upgrading, but its expensive and I want to make sure its worth it.
Ya I would say a lot more power, I think they advertise that it will mulch up to 6” and cut trees up to 16” the only trouble I have is with birch because it’s super stringy wood, but like a 6” pine it would mulch it through the top so fast it would snap the top of the tree off before it pulled the whole thing through, they are expensive it may be worth renting one for a day or 2 to see how u like it, our power company uses the drum style to clear power lines with and it seems to work well also but I don’t have hands on experience with that style.
ASV and forestry mulcher is an whole different animal. It would smoke this thing in the video.
I've been a Hoser for my entire career of 43 years... now retired. So I feel qualified to tell you to use a backup wrench when tightening the hydraulic hoses. You torqued those hoses pretty severely which will shorten their lifespan. I'm a Total Huge Fan so it kills me to correct you on anything!! Give it hell my friend! Watch Upstate Brush Control videos to see a truly BA attachment for knocking down trees and brush and turning it into mulch.
@Rob Crow if you’ve been watching for a while you’ll realize he’s not much for torque spec’s.
That's a weird thing to say. Shouldn't you want to correct him because you are a huge fan? Correcting him makes him and everyone else smarter. You should strive to help/correct people you like.
@Rob Crow, I noticed that also. When ever removing or installing a hydraulic hose or fittings it's a two wrench job. Andrew caught the leak quickly as you could see it start spray the camera of Camarata.
@rob crow can you explain what you mean in further detail? I'm interested
@@ClinttheGreat, I have always used the torque method of tightening on 1 half of turn before you hear Snap. Its a good rule of thumb.
Andrew, I'm sure you've already figured out why the skid steer has a hard time with brush cutters. But for those that don't, the main problem with not being able to keep the cutter spinning is the hydraulic oil has gotten too hot. That's not a problem with just Andrews' mower, the skid steer platform as a tool carrier doesn't have the capacity to carry enough oil or the capability to sufficiently keep cool the oil it does use, not even including the lack of HP shared by all skid steers. Hydraulic oil temperature that exceeds 175 or 180 won't get work done and doesn't have the lubricating ability that the equipment needs. (hard on seals, valves, pumps, etc.) Even the so-called 'hi-flow' skid steers are really challenged with cutters.
Interesting so what are these designed for? Could you add a big cooler to help them out?
Love the scarface music
My C232 works fine with the same type of brush cutter that Andrew is using.
seems like adding oil capacity and a large oil cooler would help.
Need a massive oil cooler
Absolutely fantastic video. You really tore up that overgrowth. WOW!
We use Goats in the south to clear Kudzu and other small brush. There are a FEW things they don't eat, but they go after all the leaves. Pin them in where it is literally impassable and they'll much everything green they can reach. You'll still have to clear the woody vines and you can choose what trees you save at that point. Lots of stuff down here can be burned, though. Clears the plants that can't hack it and leaves only the Longleaf pines.
I've been waiting for you to get one of those mulchers. Seems like an adequate amount of destruction for someone like yourself.
Best channel on KZhead, hands down.
For sure Best
Yes, I affirm it...!!!

Great video watching you using both mulcher and mower. You seem to be adjusting how to use both really well. I'm sure the next time we see you using them you will be running through fields like you are on fire.
Way too cool. Best invention for clearing I have seen in a while. I really like that device.

I just watched Andrew mow down a large tract of overgrown land. It was mindless. My blood pressure went down. I was at peace. Satisfaction. I can imagine the smell of cut grass and saplings. Sipping my afternoon coffee. Kids in their rooms. Inner peace.
Good vid. For me it just reinforced the idea of how much you can do with the brush hog. The mulcher i'm sure will be effective after you learn to 'drive around it' and develop patience for it. I would definitely do everything I could with the brush hog and then come back for the problem areas with the slow mulcher.
Andrew is one of the few KZheadrs i wish was sponsored. If only some brands were brave enough to let him test some products I would buy them in a blink.

@Howdare Yuu " These tools are made to be installed on heavy duty tractors or CAT heavy equipment, not stupid little useless skid steers.

" But yeah, you're probably right, it's probably not intended to be installed on a skid steer.
@Howdare Yuu If you click on the link to the mulcher in the description, it was intended for use on low-flow machines. Now, I wouldn't expect it to mulch up an 8" tree in one go but it was clearly intended for skid steer use
@Howdare Yuu Check out this forestry skid steer running the larger version of Andrew's mulcher. It ain't light duty! kzhead.info/sun/bLOzp6ybZJeGmnA/bejne.html

I agree
I am glad you mentioned the hi and lo flow . My TL10 is low flow . Good to know they make a low flow mulcher .
This was very enjoyable to watch! Thanks Andrew.
Suggestion: Whenever the load is overpowering your equipment, cut back the load. With thick, thick brush, take a slow perimeter cut around the field and then take half-width swaths. Adjusted properly, you'll find yourself going almost full speed. The old saying goes, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." If your equipment is always gagging, feed it smaller bites.
damn your tipps are unbelievable
Or, hear me out, use the equipment with a machine that can supply the proper amount of hydraulic fluid flow.

yea man I was surprised how well it can clear! i need to get one such a cool machine.
Machines used for mulching seem to need a very high flow rate and plenty extra horse power to keep the head spinning at optimal speeds.
That mulching blade is the same we use on feller bunchers round here minus the upper and lower teeth and the blade on the feller buncher weighs 600 pounds but they usually have a 450 cat motor pushing the hydrolics and a 6 inch pine tree will almost stop the balde if you sink it into it too quick skid steers just dont have the flow needed to really keep that head going unfortunately
Felcher
Yep, the mulcher wants 30gpm and the TL12 only outputs 23gpm. Andrew needs a more powerful skid-steer.
@@dddddyyn not more powerful, more purpose built. You could run a skiddy with the same HP as long as it has high flow + auxiliary hydraulic cooler. Forestry mulching with a skid steer (or really any small piece of equipment) is all an experiment right now... this is one of the only jobs that will push a CTL to its limit.
@@Dirtlife98 higher flow = more powerfull.

Glad to see you got a door for the Takeuchi. Hope all is well with you andrew!
The new one is only getting up to 50% of the rpm that blade is designed to run thats why you're having so much trouble with it . Watch a feller buncher it uses the same blade but runs 4 times the rpm you run and the blade simgs like a space ship.
Absolutely agree
Is it the machine that needs more power or a better mulcher?
Yeah the TL12 is 23GPM, the optional high flow can go up to 40GPM. The mulcher head can take up to 30GPM. The head is just too light to keep it spinning with low flow.
@@jaybaar1 more flow, the TL12 is large but he probably needs a machine purpose built with hi-flow hydraulics. I know that Cat makes a hi-flow version of their 299 which is TL12 size so I'd imagine Takeuchi does a similar thing.
@@BlackHawkBallistic yeah they do. I use one with a fecon at work and it rips. I was wondering while watching if he had high flow on but it must of not came equipped with it.

The old Carpenter saying, work fast or not at all. If the equipment doesn’t work at your speed you’re losing money. Great video
Have spent the last year watching you. Great stuff. Happy New Year.
Great video Andrew. Glad to see in action again. Your videos are far and few between this year. The demonstration of the difference between the two mulching options was great.
Fence wire, the bane of all rotary mowers. Good thing AC just happened to have his 1" impact wrench with him. I think the mulcher would benefit from having more cutters on the bottom so when you came down on a tree it would cut for the entire radius of the wheel. Andrew, you really did improve your technique as you got the hang of using the new mulcher. Great video.
That is a nice brush cutter - handles much more material than a rear mount PTO style for tractors. Definitely keep the wire cleaned out. Once it gets around the hub it will eventually take the seal out and then you lose the hydraulic motor. Keep up the great videos.
You live a good life Andrew, well done mate
the time lapse shots are so satisfying.
I had to laugh when I saw the big sticker that says: MUST READ OPERATOR MANUAL. Not on this channel. Lol
I love watching Andrew fixing the machines.
Great videos:) I like the bobcat drum forestry mulcher the best. These are great for low flow machines!
I ran one of the drum mulchers on a high-flow machine daily. It worked pretty well you still have stuff that will get stuck and you have to spin it back.
The momentum of that heavy cutting wheel certainly makes it extremely effective, probably the best I've seen if the momentum can be maintained
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
I love that you share The Good, Bad and The Ugly When you are working
That brush hog is amazing, very efficient and effective. Makes much more sense to have the working implement in front of you where you can see it than behind on a 3 point hitch. Also you have it on the much more maneuverable skid steer. The mulcher does not seem that useful to actually get a lot of work done. Many of those trees you are playing with could have been down and chopped up way faster with a chainsaw in the right hands. Thanks for this informative video.
Those mulchers need a shid steer with high volume pump …. That machine probably doesn’t have a high volume pump.
@@jackrich821 That mulcher was supposedly a low flow attachment as Andrew stated at the end of the video. Ane even for a low flow attachment it should have had more power than that, it even bogged down on stuff that the brush hog dident even flinch on. I honestly think there was something wrong with the hydraulic motor on that mulcher, it was making weird and funny noises during spoolup, and beeing that hesitant/slow/sluggish to spool up is a dead giveaway that its not gonna have much power.
Never clicked was fast on a video, woohoo video from Andrew 😁 Holy crap them trees didn't stand a chance against that beast.

Wish you were closer. Have some up coming projects i could use you on. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your videos👍
If you offer him enough money I'm sure he would travel 🤷♂️

Cool comment!
That’s how we do it in New York love your videos on one of your OG subscribers I’ve been watching way before you even had 50,000 subs keep doing you Erik from Strong Island
Good to see this property again. I think it is awesome that the property owner is rebuilding the old barn, instead of just taking it down and building new.
He said at the revisit to see the barn completed, that they were selling the place!
Glad to see you put a shield on the skid steer
In Arizona, they’ll bring 100 - 200 sheep to clear a couple hundred acres of pastures in 3-4 days. For the growth you were mowing, goats are better suited. They’ll eat ANYTHING! There’s something very satisfying watching the brush hog and the chipper chew that brush up.
