Noteworthy moments include a candid observation that 75 HP far exceeds the mulcher's 40-PTO-HP rating and changes how it performs, plus an honest breakdown when a spring key fails mid-job. Best for owners curious how this mulcher handles on a larger tractor.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, self-described as non-expert hobbyists sharing real-world experiences rather than professional instruction.
The mulcher is rated at 40 PTO horsepower but the 4075R was running around 60, making it a much different machine than on smaller tractors, with enough power to keep the hydraulics running.
A stick came out and shot up, knocking off the spring key that holds the pan, jamming the lift arm back. Tim stopped immediately and planned to pull it apart at home with better tools.
The joystick on the 4075R is smooth and comfortable, much lighter weight and takes much less strength to move compared to the heavier joystick on the 3R.
