mulching buisness?

[Robbie Hegwood]

If you already have the S300 then you could make it work. There are ways to overcome some of it's problems. Westshore has a S330 that he has worked into a pretty good mulcher. Now if you want put the VTS on it and it will dramatically improve it's performance. If you want to go this way I can give a few suggestions and Westshore and Yellow can help.

Steel over the tire tracks are a necessity, VTS are better allot better. You will actually go through more muck with the VTS than a dedicated track loader. A good investment would be the forestry application kit from Bobcat it comes with a screen kit for the rad, Gaurds to stop material from entering via the boom cylinders, a FOPS certified (I think) gaurd for the cab and a 3/4 " lexan windshield for the front door. Don't bother with the demolition door Bobcat sells its crap. You can also hot rod the pump on the 250,300,320 and 330 for more fuel and rpm but added heat comes with it too. I have never overheated mine nor come close but I have the application kit on both the T320 and S330. I was getting 39 GPM at the mulcher on the 330 too. Cimaf head is the most efficient in my opinion but with all chipper type mulchers not made for grinding rocks LOL. I blocked off the filter inside the cab so it only draws from the outside filter and most of the dust problems were eliminated. Nothing beats a dedicated or purpose built machine but with the right head and some experience a skid steer can do a pretty good job. Oh yeah Robbie i'll have some real good pics for you on Sunday or Monday.
