I have a short video of the work I have completed, but wanted to do more. Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating. Plan to complete some work this week and will post before Friday if possible. And, intend to have the web site up with all the links. Fingers crossed...

Scott, THANK YOU for taking the time to provide feed back. FYI... I may have the replacement Teeth issue figured out and expect to have a video posted soon. Be sure to keep us updated on things you learn about your TopCat. Despite the tooth issue, overall this unit is doing a pretty good job. hope yours works out as well.

Michael, thank you for the feedback. If you have any questions about the TopCat (TMG, AGROTK), just let me know I am looking to get info out there as I can, so that as I use this thing, we can have a community of users sharing ideas and solving problems. I am already noticing wear on the teeth after just 30 hours of use. Still have not found a source for replacement.

@@topcatmulchers3802 yeah that’s something that’s concerning me about purchasing one of these. I’m looking into getting into commercial use but the lack of support is a problem. There’s a guy that sales them on Facebook Marketplace out of Elizabethton TN. Idk if he sales spare teeth for them but might be a place to look

If I had it to do over, I would probably go with a name brand, like loftness (which has exceptional documentation), or diamond. Something that would allow interchangeable teeth type. On the TopCat it does an okay job, but the narrow two prong carbide teeth make the job slow and end product chunky, requiring multiple passes to re-process the material. If you were going to use this for commercial use, plan on the job taking longer due to that. I will be posting some more detailed examples of clearing, hopefully in the next week.

Try this, I believe this is the correct specs Alternate belt = 1680-14m -40 This may be the belt... www.amazon.com/PowerDrive-1680-14M-40-Timing-Belt-Rubber/dp/B00ISCB5UG 66.41" circomfrance = 1680m 1.57" wide = 40m .39 = tooth depth = 10m .55" = 14M = pitch (teeth on center) or... HTD1680-14M made by FENKE

Thank you for the info by the way, it is greatly appreciated. I bought the one off of Amazon and it’s been working well. It actually fits so tight that I had to take the cog off to get the belt on. After taking a close look at the tensioner, I realized that it was warped from the start and caused the belt to walk off the cog and tare. I’ve been running the new belt without the tensioner.

Dean, yep. That was the point of my first video. The Top Cat comes BONE DRY. not a drop of oil or grease anywhere. combine that with the somewhat useless user manual and you are asking for issues. Fortunately, I at least spent the time trying to find a manual and succeeded finding that appears to be the closest one out there (see video #1), and it had all the details of the spots needing to be serviced. I did that before ever turning it on. Might be the first smart thing I did with the Top Cat. Have you tried contacting agrotkindustrial.com/ for parts?

Scott, the plugs used on the fan was not specific to my skid steer. I got them from amazon. The plug used at the fan and just before the 14 pin connector to connect the fan cable... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FJPMML6 The cable used to complete the run for the fan .... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FSYGGKX The 14 pin connector appears to be a standard used on many skid steer brands. For the 14pin connector check here... www.skidsteergenius.com/products/14-pin-female-kit-deutsch?_pos=1&_sid=1ef72c254&_ss=r Hope that is what you needed. If not, let me know.

@@topcatmulchers3802 gotcha. My mulcher has 2 wires and the Bobcat T870 has a 7 pin plug

Scott, my fan is two wire as well. Just need to make sure you get the polarity correct so the fan is pulling the air up and out .vs. blowing down

JQuizzle, I just purchased a 6-way dozer blade (Wolverine) from RB Auction. Fingers crossed.. Hope to do a video on the before end of September. And, I do have a 60" vibratory roller that I plan to show and discuss.

Michael, if you are referring to right side as you sit in the skid steer - the side with the drive belt - I removed the plug that was there and filled till it came out. If you mean the other side - left when viewed from seat in skid steer - mine was missing the plug - what I call the drain plug. I bought replacement plugs here ... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088K59GRF/ . Then filled until the oil came out the vent hole in center. Does that make sense?

Yep. I think that is the main reason for failed belts... maybe. I got lucky, during a some maintenance I pulled the side cover off and discovered the tensioner was coming loose on mine and the belt was starting to wander of the edge. Caught it just in time. So, keeping an eye on that could be important

Greg, Two possible places. Titan attachments.. I am fairly certain this is the same as the top cat, but you would need to check with them on the specs for the belt. The mulcher on their site now is different than the very "top cat" like unit. Which I documented on my site. www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/forestry-equipment/forestry-drum-mulcher-replacement-belt/191626.html Then there is AGT, which is without a doubt the TopCat agrotkindustrial.com/products/skid-steer-forestry-drum-mulcher On this page is a parts list ... cdn.shopifycdn.net/s/files/1/0254/7924/9971/files/SSFM.png?v=1673590866 The problem with AGT is they take a long time to get back to you. Hope that helps, please let me know what you find out, I imagine some day I will need a new belt as well..

I found TWO sources, both have raised the cost to $106.00 per tooth. OUCH!! I also found the manufacture via alibaba and have requested pricing/availability. Have not yet heard back.

@@topcatmulchers3802 Thank you!

Patrick, thanks for checking in. wondering if you found the parts here or somewhere else? agrotkindustrial.com/products/skid-steer-forestry-drum-mulcher

Josen, Thank you for that feedback. I do realize that some of my videos are about "buying" the mulcher. Then, most are about issues I have encountered, but I have been thinking that I am beating up on the unit a lot and not pointing out the up side aka positives. I have video and notes on last mulching job that I am actually pretty pleased with and thought I should take some time to edit and post. Thanks for reminding me that should be done.

I should also have asked do you think I should take it apart and remove the teflon tape? I am assuming that particles of the tape could end up in my skid steers hydraulic system causing big issues?

Jose, oh there is no doubt this is crap from china.. :) Now, i just need to make the best of it. If I were using it professionally it would be a pile of junk by now. But, for my 28 acers that needs some clearing, despite the constant reprocessing, it is getting the job done... slowly..
