After seeing what Mulcherguy has done to a C87 has inspired me to start this thread.
For a long time now I have thought that there has to be a better machine than what I currently have with better power, better parts availability at better prices, better built and better to service and repair.
Now I am not knocking anyone particular manufacturer but to get them all to lift their game in what they produce,for example a company near where I live has a PT400 and it had a problem under the cab. The owner was bitching like mad because the cab had to be removed to repair it so it had to go to his workshop-1 day lost, remove the cab-3 days,make the repair-1day, refit the cab-3days,return the machine to site-1day. So he lost 8 days work because the manufacturer didn't think to fit a tipover cab which would be simple to do.
My latest episode was to remove the hydraulic pumps from the C140-32 man hrs then refit them 32 man hrs. A Cat D10 transmission can be swapped in 8 hrs so why can't the manufacturers of these machines think a lot more about what happens after these machines leave the factory or don't they give a dam?
So looking forward my guess is to build your own which I would love to do but I'm to darn old (in my 60's) but you younger fellers should have a go at like Mulcherman and this bloke, TreetaMulching & Stumping, Land Clearing, Tree Removal in Rotorua New Zealand. Tre-Etas
In conclusion,here is my idea of a mulcher and please forgive my computer skills but I hope you get the idea of what I would like to achieve. It would have a tipover cab and bonnet so the entire length of the tractor can be exposed for servicing or repair, a cab with good visiablty and no front door for timber to jam shut etc,etc.
