Forestry Mulcher day 1: Turning Brush into pasture

What happens here

The crew inspects the mulcher attachment, specifically noting the carbide teeth that are installed for durability against tough brush and potential ground contact. The importance of safety is emphasized, as forestry mulching involves high-speed projectiles (branches, debris). A hardware kit for heavy-duty (HD) guarding is present, which will be installed to protect the operator and the machine.

Tools and materials

  • Carbide Teeth
  • Forestry Mulcher Attachment
  • Heavy-Duty Cab Screen Kit (Side Screens)

uh that's the loftus g4 head that we brought along teeth on it knowing you're going to abuse it a little bit so you put carbide on yeah okay good you know i think for what you got going that'll be best so and then here i've uh basically got a hardware kit for yours to add on the hd hardware get the guarding on it ready to go okay we couldn't ask for a better day huh man supposed to be in the 40s today that's pretty good all right before we can mulch anything we got to put the protective cage over the top of the loader so the reason we have to put the cage on is because forestry mulching can be pretty dangerous actually a lot of those trees those heads will grab them and will shoot them just like a spear like and it sometimes shoots it out the front shoots it out the back so that's actually a bulletproof front glass door
