The cordless sawzall is a great idea, I will do that! I do have some wire cutters in the truck as well. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah it was a job for sure, I finished everything today and you'll see two more vids on this project so stay tuned. Thank you for watching!

Yeah I've got about 15 hours on it so far and I am super impressed so far! This thing is way more efficient that the rotary head for some of the larger diameter material for sure!

Thanks John, about 15 hours on it so far and I'm about to get the hang of how this thing works and how best to use it. A few more hours and I should be pretty good on it hopefully!

Thank you! Yeah when I get done editing that's always my favorite part to watch!

Thanks Jeff, yes this head is way better for the heavier work than the MTL. I'll have the vid on the completed job up on Friday probably. Thanks for watching!

Yeah this thing leaves really nice mulch on the ground and I can get up close to the trees with it as well! Thank you for watching Chuck!

Yeah luckily I didn't have to clean up the trash this time!

Man, this thing has been a whole different level over the rotary cutter I have. Don't get me wrong, that thing is great but on the bigger material, 2-8" in diameter or so this thing just eats. It is super handy, especially in tight areas like this where you can get that head into tight areas between larger trees and not have to come back by hand and cut that stuff out manually. This thing would kick ass on your 260 for sure!

@@idigit4967 yeah it looks like it makes those tight areas nice! I would love to get one

@@eliteearthworksllc If you get into the market for one and have questions let me know brother!

@@idigit4967 will do man thanks!

Oh wow, I bet that was a sight to see for sure! Thanks James!

Thank Tyler! So glad to hear you are enjoying the content! I'm sorry to hear about your back, but I'm glad you're able to watch the content and stay sane at work LOL!

Yeah I picked up a battery powered Dewalt 4" angle grinder, the brushless one, it's great and with a 60 grit sanding pad on it it sharpens those teeth really well! The last vid for this project you will see me sharpen the teeth!

Yeah a rotary tilt would take this thing to the next level!

You could suggest to council as we say in UK ,are homeless pods built on side of buildings,many here in my area are disabled folk and PTSD vets, I learn so much from them ,they cope just with our help we've been able to get them into shelters ..

Yes it does, no lie! It definitely did alot of chewing on Friday when I had it out there LOL! Thanks for watching Big Al!

Thank you Cyndi!

I don't think I'm going to go with a cage but I'll probably upgrade from a glass windshield to lexan. Thanks for watching and commenting James!

The log is an interesting idea. I have cut with the blade behind me, it's not as good as the blade in front but its more stable than cutting over the side.

Yeah hopefully! I got some muskrat and beaver holes that are washing out some areas that I've got to fix first before I can get back there with this thing but yeah I hope to get that thing cut soon!

I don't know where they ended up, no. We do have a pretty bad problem with the homeless here, particularly in the spring and summer months when it's warmer, but not as bad as places like Atlanta, where I used to live. This area was likely chose by the homeless as its close to the local community assistance center where they give the homeless food and clothes and stuff. But in my opinion all this does is enable them, there is no real push to help these people get back on their feet, they just help them get by with food and clothes but don't help them get out of the situation they are in. So then find areas near the assistance center and set up shop until they are found and told to leave.

I don’t think they can evict them now over Covid lol

Thanks Donna! Took me awhile to come up with it, I spent several days wondering what I was gonna call this thing LOL!

Yeah both the mini and skid steer have their advantages. I went with this set up due to how tightly packed the mature trees were in there. There was a lot of small areas that I was going to have to work this head into that a skid steer mulcher would not have been able to do and that would have left me with a ton of hand work, which I didn't really want to do LOL! Thanks for watching Drew!

Yeah it definitely will make some of those jobs easier for sure, especially when there is larger material that has to be cut. It was a little tough but I knew this was the right tool for this job, If I had gone with the skid steer head that would have worked but I would have had a ton of hand work cleaning up the tight spaces between the larger trees and that just wouldn't have been fun.

It may not seem that way on camera but this thing mulches great for its size and power!

Either, just depends on the job and the client and what needs to be done.

No doubt!

Thanks Jan, I'm getting the hang of this thing for sure but it'll probably take me a few more hours running it to really get good with it. Thank you for watching!

Yeah I have a set in the truck for that reason! Thanks for watching and commenting Jace!

Yeah that would be good, and for getting stuff unstuck, which did happen one time on this job.

Some things I’ve found handy to keep on the truck= battery powered sawzall and grinder and @10”flat/pry bar. The flat bar is also handy to shovel/clear the tracks

The sawzall is a great idea, I'll definitely be adding that! The machine definitely isn't that tippy, even over the side it isn't that bad unless you are reaching out really far and really high. Blade in front or behind and she's totally stable.

Thanks Artemus! Yeah that would be crazy cool to see for sure! Glad you are enjoying the content!

Thanks John! Yeah you guys definitely got to see my learning curve with this one! It is a completely different animal than the MTL XC5 rotary cutter, it just works completely different. And I agree the timelapse came out looking really cool! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Yeah its really not too bad about throwing stuff back at me at all, it throws everything to the sides. But I talked to my mechanic Barry last year when I got this mini about putting lexan in for the windshield, I need to do that soon just in case.

Yeah I was thinking of picking one of those up for that exact reason! Thanks Randy!

No worries Paul, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I will say it is alot more comfy sitting in the cab than cutting stuff by hand LOL! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thanks Jeff! Yes I've seen workplaytv, he's definitely got a cool setup, that FAE head is like 750 lbs I think, it's much lighter than this head and so it's better equipment to go on the smaller 4 ton machines. FAE definitely makes a great product. V-Belt and Son uses alot of FAE stuff as well.

Probably not, but if you put a lexan shield over the front of the open cab it could be done and I've seen that done actually.

I can tell you it definitely does a better job with larger diameter material than the rotary MTL head. And it does have containment, it is in the head itself, when it sucks things in from the back side it runs it up into the head and shreds it on the wear plates.

No they were not LOL!

Horry County, SC

Do u know diggenlife21

I lived in Florence, just west of there, from 1983-2003. I thought that terrain looked fairly familiar. I was wondering about where this was.

He must get paid by the hour😂

I guess my masters degree in Emergency & Disaster Management doesn't count 🤷‍♂️

No we have them here in SC too, I used to live in Atlanta and there are a lot of them there too.

Thanks Tom!

After running this for the last 2.5 days, this thing is very effective but it is a little clumsy due to the weight but it cuts vegitation like no tomorrow.
