What happens here
Jordan outlines the cost, warranty, and maintenance aspects of the Mongo Mulcher. He states that the 27-inch model is priced slightly over $10,000 and comes with a robust one-year warranty. He stresses the convenience of its "plug and play" setup, which includes a compatible mounting bracket (like the Kubota ears) and a pre-sized hose kit. This ensures proper hose length, avoiding issues with hoses being too short or excessively long and cumbersome. For maintenance, he advises daily greasing: apply approximately 10 pumps of grease to each side of the mulcher every morning before operation, especially when engaging in high-speed, red-line work. He also points out the mulcher's versatile mounting system, secured by six bolts, which allows for easy removal and reattachment of different mounting plates, making the mulcher transferable between various excavators or brands by simply swapping out the mount. However, he emphasizes that even with a new mount, the hydraulic motor might need to be tuned or confirmed for compatibility with the new machine.
Goal: Understand the commercial and maintenance aspects of the mulcher.
