New Brush Cutter

[Top Dog]

Are you using( or do you have to have) a oil case drain line back to the tank also from the hydraulic motor ? Good luck:usa

We use motors without a case drain so it will hookup on just auxillary hyd. from the trackhoe.

As long as you can supply the required gpm and keep the oil cool there should not be any problem.It looks like a good tool Top Dog.

how much pressure do you need?

how much pressure do you need?

It will work on 2500 lbs, the motors are rated at 3500 lbs.

 

[HeyUvaVT]

so a max of 3500psi? that limits you some as to what you can install them on doesn't it? or do you just turn down the pumps on the carriers?

I dont think 3500 psi would limit the unit.that covers alot of equipment.If it became an issue,say the carrier put out 5000 psi ,Put a relief valve at the motor bypassing to the return.No need to adjust pressure on the carrier.

Topdog thats got to be one of the simplest ideas i've seen yet , and it looks very effective too ....would love to hear more about this attachment ...... how large of a diam. is the drum and what size of chain is that .... .404 ? ....how many feet do you need to cover the drum .....I ask this just to get an idea of opperating cost to replace the cutter system .....WOW !

The drum is about 8 in diam. and the chain is BC11 with about 80 ft. as for the replacement of the chain it will go upwards of 300 hrs before sharpening.

Please do keep us informed as things progress. Including any vid clips to see this unit in action ......the concept does sound interesting

I'm still Impressed, it looks a tad slow but that could be due to the excavators flow...... I don't know how to post You-tube clips but if you enter "Quadco mulcher"or "Quadco mower 1 BC 2009" look at the clips with the Cat excavator on it ....I'll post some pics of my Iron with the Quadco 54" head on it

 

[CRAFT]

Some pics ..... Top pic is the 72" Davco I use on my 314 size Cat excavator and on my A-300 Skid (pic shows old and new knives, 2 of the knives are hidden, once it starts to spin they are all 4 exposed) bottom is the Quadco 54" I used on my 320 CLU, it requires priority flow of 65 gpm

 

[KSSS]

65 gpm. Thats a lot flow. What pressure?

 

[CRAFT]

A couple more pics .... top is kind-of a before on the left side and after on the right done with the rotary Davco (65 miles of it).....bottom is the 320 with the Quadco

 

[CRAFT]

KSSS, we put the flow meter on it, and it was at ~3200psi ...the rotary only needed 30gpm to run

Here are a few pics of what we have been working on. The boom cutter will be available soon. It will have the belt gaurd on before any leaves the factory.

Give me some feedback, I will post some videos soon.
