I would be really interested on what you found out about the quality of these mulchers, I have most often found that Chinese stuff is pretty much throw away junk but every now and then there will be something that you can get by with. I would like to have a mulcher to add to my forestry mower but it's so dog eat dog with mulching in this area that there is no way I am spending 30k on a mulcher.
The guy I bought mine from said the Vermeer teeth fit it.
Sorry to hear about all the trouble, but you have told me everything I need to know, I hope it works out for you, but my experience with Chinese products has not been good. Charlie.
Did you end up finding a replacement hydraulic motor for the mulcher? I want to hook up my machine but it puts out 40GPM and 4100PSI so i need to upgrade the motor so it doesn't blow up. Just curious what you found for a motor?
What machine? My bobcat I can adjust the flow of the auxiliary port.
Were you able to get it repaired?
What motor did you end up putting on the mulcher
I got one at auction. I have 100 acres that I need to clear for trails and road. I was loving it, but I had some issues with the quick attach pins and it popped off and the hoses ripped out. Finally got new hoses and my sister was using and decided to go after an 8 inch tree. Now videos show mulchers chomping these down no problem, but this is not the $30k machines. The seal burst and all the fuild was shooting out. IN the process of trying to figure out a replacement option. If you figure out a motor that would work, please share. What I found is a Bradco manual that appears to look identical to my machine for the 72mm 3 hose option 30 - 45 gpm. Overall, my experience with the Chinese garbage is that it is actually pretty good for the price. The primary complaint I have is that they do not provide any kind of info or manual. Even if I had to order a part from China, at least let me know what I need to order, but there is nothing. The more complicated the equipment the more the risk of issues that are difficult to figure out a solution. I have attached the manual I found. Maybe this will help others. I saw one of these go for $2,000 at the auction and I almost bought it just for spare parts.... I am into mine about $4,500 at this point.
Did they find a motor that will work? Almost identical issue I have had. But can't get any input on a motor to replace or seals that will work. The hydraulic shop will not go out on a limb and suggest anything. They want serial number and a manual from the manufacturer to take the liability of anything they recommend. I just need a motor to get it running again. When it was working it was pretty damn amazing how well it was working.
