Attaching a Mulcher to an Excavator and Hydraulic Tip
At 2:50 in
This "Secret" made me A LOT of money
What happens here
Two men are shown connecting a large red mulcher attachment (Mongo Attachments brand) to a Kubota KX040-4 excavator. They initially struggle to connect the hydraulic hoses. The presenter explains that when an attachment sits unused for a long time, temperature fluctuations can build pressure within the sealed hydraulic system, making it difficult to connect the hoses. He provides a practical tip: instead of struggling, slightly crack open one of the hydraulic hoses to release the built-up pressure. This allows for easier connection without needing to fully remove the hose. Once the hoses are connected, everything is tightened back up, and the mulcher is ready for operation.
Goal: Two individuals attach a heavy mulcher attachment to an excavator. They encounter difficulty with hydraulic connections due to built-up pressure, leading the presenter to share a tip about releasing pressure by slightly cracking the hydraulic hoses.
