Detailed Equipment Walkthrough

post right now i'm flying through the area that was mulched just a few years back and man it looks really good i can just get in there and mow it with a zero turn mower now what we have here equipment wise we're going to walk around geek out on the equipment because it's really really cool so what we have here is an awesome machine you might hear a donkey in the background this is a farm so this right here is the dennis sima it's an odd name uh cutter head right here this has the knives on it versus the hammers is that right so these are like little knife blades they're not really sharp they're made out of a hardened steel and what these do there's a blade for each one of these ribs right here and it just basically rips apart and shreds any of this debris so trees like that that are garbage uh some of this dead standing stuff some of this stuff that fell over dead will chop right up this is the caterpillar 299 d2 that means a two speed it's a high flow machine it is the biggest caterpillar machine that they make this is a forestry setup right here and that forestry setup requires that we have an extra oil cooler for our hydraulic fluid so that's how this machine works this push bar right here on the top helps to actually push over the trees as you cut them so it'll chop into them a little bit and the bigger trees you'll have to push down like so to kind of give a little bit of leverage push them over and then turn them into mulch now you might be asking yourself do you have to scoop up the mulch do you have to clean up after this and the answer is no so what this does is provides biomass it provides biomass for your soil so all you're doing is speeding up the process of composting in other words the tree grows up the tree dies it falls to the forest floor compost right here the tree grows up we cut it down we mulch it to the ground falls to the forest floor and it compost pretty simple pretty simple stuff guys and you can establish grass on this after about two and a half years maybe three years cool let's get busy
