A New Hybrid Mulcher 4K

What happens here

The operator in the Kubota excavator maneuvers the arm to properly align the attachment points of the mulcher with the excavator's 'Kubota ears'. Jordan then guides the pins into place to secure the mulcher to the excavator. He may use a hammer or kick the pins to fully seat them, demonstrating the quick and straightforward attachment process. After the pins are in place, the hydraulic hoses from the mulcher are connected to the auxiliary hydraulic ports on the excavator arm.

Goal: Securely attach the mulcher to the excavator and connect hydraulic lines.
