Hydro-Ax mulcher

Anyone else on here running a mulcher of any kind? I've been sitting in one for a few days and it sure is boring. But dry.

I run a mulcher on a bobcat on the weekends.  Some jobs get boring, then some jobs all I can think about is getting home, but some jobs are a lot of fun because I can just blow and go and cover a lot of ground fast and not worry about the looks of the mulch.

Its like everything.. Its fun for the first little bit, then the new gets worn off and its boring..

the mob i work for are looking at a mulcher for the back of the 100hp Valtra 4WD tractor to reduce the logging slash and to make fire breaks.

any ideas?

Have a friend that works for a company that runs 11 mulchers all the time. He recently started running a new Barko machine with a FAE head on it. He said its much better than the Fecon head he had been running. I think you would want a drum style head (Fecon, Fae, Cat, etc.) on the back of a tractor. I wonder about the tractor makeing it through the slash without getting tore up. Could you put a mulching head on a piece of equipment you already have when you need it? They have them to go on dozers, and on excavator style machines.
            I'd much rather run a skidder or cutting machine. The Hydro-Ax feels like you are mowing the lawn all day. Work is work I guess.
