Mulcher heads for 97svl-3
Good morning! Test drove a Kubuto 97-3 and loved it. They said the mulcher head was 40k. And the machine 90.5k that sound about right? Anyone know more about this mulcher head if it’s a good brand etc. I believe it’s 62 inches.

Yes I would not get kubota for mulching. I have JD, I would buy it again. If u got money cat 275xe 135 hp and 40 something gpm. If I were in your shoes, I would look for a takeuchi 12v2 high flow. The back end is built like a tank so bump a tree or a tree fall on machine it can take. They seen to have a better cooling systems for the price point. You can find a low hour machine 65 to 80k with 400 to 1000 hours. My jd 331p back end is plastic and tin, a branch hit it u bump a tree cost u a few k to put back together. Now I run a Mastodon mulcher, it computer driven direct drive. Its the most powerful mulcher on the market with double the torque of any you seen n or heard of. 36k Ibeleve. Whatever stidsteer and mulcher u go with grease it daily clean up daily specially in summer. Take wipe completely off. I in the process swaping my jd for 12v2 myself. Jd great for dirt work, not made for the woods.

Hey just found you post from someone else confirming what I just said. Used to run bobcat don’t have enough power. Deere over heat to fast. If you want to pay an extra 40k a machine buy a cat. I changed my whole fleet to Takeuchi tl12’s. I demoed new Deere, cat, asv and Takeuchi for a week each ended up buying a Takeuchi

I hoping stryker does something with website. I had one for 9 month and maybe got 3 leads. Paid other to run ads and they never got the response Austin getting. I would love to get 20 leads a month from website and pushing FB few months of work. Then i will hire someone. I am trying to push my 100k or more month. Follow the instructions, he's lead a bunch people to grow a business.

I found bear claw system, I came to same idea they did. I take 50% down to put them on schedule. I started with 20%, but I had a customer stick me for 25 hours at 300. VA state law say I to finish job before I can take him to court. If you don't finish a job, or you just walk after 30 day call abandoned contract and you got all your going to collect. My customer kept adding more work and would not pay his bill. I learned the hard way when they add work we write a new contract for added scope of work. I get paid for 1st contract before move to added scope. I will eat a few hours no contract. My customer 3 x the amount work and I just kept going. Taking 50% down and writing in 1st contract new work comes after 1st is paid in full. So after joining group and Austin says they charge 50% and I complete agreement and add a paragraph stating VA law that added scope causes a new contract. Second part stating 1st contract has to be paid in full before second contract work and VA law state we both have to sign new contract. I understand every state is different. But it only makes sense you should get for hours worked. In this case I would have 8 hours. If you get suck by a customer if its not 20k in VA its not worth going to court. And not one customer has said 1st word about paying 50%. Don't keep working with out new contract, get paid for you by protecting yourself.

Can someone point me to slope safety and limits for newer operators.
Title ^ Would help I quoted a STEEP property today and was unsure of the entrance to his access. once i got down it leveled out but wow my first instinct was to say i cant make the machine down here but he assured me another skid steer was down there. I am so new i am just not sure its worth the risk. Any tips? Ill upload some pics

Bottom line no one pays u to get hurt! At 64 I can not afford to get hurt. I live in VA not super high mountains but have 1 track off the ground. If rains and gets slick, can u still get out, tow bill can't cost more than profit. I know you want a job, but sometimes you just have to walk away. My question if your doubting the ability of the machine, rent a remote if u have to. Or walk. If you roll machine do u really want to go through that

@James Louros my 1st job had some very steep hills, I had only use skid steer on flat ground. Go up felt headed straight up, but to turn to come back down was rough, I had to lift mulcher just enough to make turn. I didn't like mulching up hill. I would much rather facing down hill. Back drag hill up hill. I could aways but mulch down inches ground to keep sliding. Someone else said they rather mulch up hill, trees were falling all over me. So going down hill they fall away from me

ANNOUNCEMENT: Introducing OPS ENGINE (And What's Up Next)
If you run a land clearing / forestry mulching business, you probably feel this: - Leads and jobs scattered across texts, Facebook, Jobber, your notebook - Guessing at pricing and hoping you didn’t underbid - No reliable way to see, “What’s booked and what’s actually hitting my bank in the next 30 days?” That’s exactly what drove me crazy in the early years running Bear Claw... Since then, we’ve been duct‑taping GoHighLevel, Jobber, and a bunch of spreadsheets together. It works, but it’s way harder than it should be. So this year I finally said: screw it, I’m building the software system I wish existed. What I’m building (and why you should care) Over the last few months, we’ve been building OPS ENGINE: The operating system I use to run a 7‑figure fire mitigation / land‑clearing business… turned into software you can plug into your business. -Profitable Pricing -Fast FB Lead Capture -Automatic Text/Email Follow Ups -CRM Sales Pipeline -Speed To Lead Tracking -Quoting, Scheduling, Invoicing -Payment Capture -Dashboard (with metrics that actually matter) OPS ENGINE is built for one purpose: Take a “guy with a machine” and turn him into the owner of a real, scalable land‑clearing business by saving time, automating repetitive tasks, and tracking the most important metrics. If you follow along, you’ll see exactly how we: - Price jobs using crew‑day math so you stop working for free - Capture every lead from FB Ads, website call, form submission into one clean pipeline - Automate follow‑up so bids don’t ghost and jobs don’t slip through the cracks - See jobs + expected cash 30 days ahead so you stop riding the feast‑or‑famine rollercoaster Last year I used these same systems to help a guy go from $0 to ~$150k/month in 6 months. I’m not sharing theory; this system was designed on what already works. What you get now (before it ever launches) OPS ENGINE is not public yet. Bear Claw will run on it first. Then OPS ACCELERATOR members
