Extreme Cutting

[fishfactor]

You need a winch on the back if you're going to be in that stuff much longer. We were working in a swamp/wetlands last year for a few months. The brush was so thick if you threw a rock it wouldn't hit the ground. Turns our that was a good thing because the mulch mat was about the only thing keeping the mulcher from sinking to the roof. I was wishing I had a winch the entire time.

Hey hunting, I have one word for you, EXCAVATOR!! Better weight distribution, much better visibility, you will be able to see trouble area before you sink in them. And you can get yourself unstuck more often. The one thing that troubles me about the pictures is how far the machine sank and that the boom us up blocking your exit, been there, have the pics to show. Food for thought.

Robbie - do you have a head that would work on a Bobcat E80 excavator? I don't think they are quite 20K lbs, maybe 18K off the top of my head.

Yes I do. Call me Monday and well talk about it.

You may want to talk to the guys at Fecon, they make a head for your excavator as well.

Yeah, I know. But, we have a fecon head and a gyro (cimaf) head now. Any future heads will be cimaf. Everyone needs a fecon type head for the rocky terrain, but you can't beat the production of the knives on a cimaf.

Did you know Fecon now offers a knife tool, so you can easily switch from carbides to knives or mix and match tools on the rotor. Gives you the performance of Cimaf and the durabiliy of Fecon. Plus they have some other options as well.

Gee Beagleman, if I didn't know better I would say your a Fecon dealer. And if you are you should know adding chipper knives to a Fecon will NOT equal the cut of a Cimaf. Be happy to show you at a demo.

We finished cutting the lines Friday. We stuck the Cat 6 times and had to get the NCFS to pull it out 5 times. We had a rental Bobcat 190 w/a brushcat mover and used it to pull the Cat out 1 time. We stuck the Bobcat 4 times and used the Cat to pull it out 3 times and the FS to pull it out 1 time. That was when we had both stuck at the same time.

I have told the guy who is the progam manager for which the Cat belongs, he needs a winch.
