Forestry services can be pricey, depending on what kind of work needs to be done. One of the main reasons for this is the cost of equipment used - it ranges from expensive to MORE expensive! Regardless of the price, all equipment needs to be maintained regularly to prevent breakdown and to avoid needlessly spending money.
Mulcher teeth are a hot commodity at ROCKandLAND, as they are used for almost every type of job we do. This is why we have learned some tricks to extend the life of the mulcher teeth, otherwise we would go broke just trying to keep ourselves in new teeth!
The forestry drum mulcher has the most expensive teeth, so they are the ones whose upkeep is most important. The disc mulcher's teeth don't break the bank, so they don't get the spotlight right now! Our skidsteer operator has some secrets (that will not be disclosed here) as to the best methods of combing regular and carbide mulcher teeth for the best forestry mulching technique.
What we WILL disclose is that the forestry drum mulcher teeth can be grinded after (and during) each use to extend their life. Watch the video at the beginning of this blog to see exactly how we do it.
All we need is a grinder - cordless so it can go wherever we need it to be - and a bit (read LOTS) of patience to roll through the drum and grind all of the teeth that may be broken. The best kind of equipment operator is one who can learn and adapt as they go, coming up with innovative ideas, making for a more streamlined job done, with less hassle and less cost involved!
