He also covers PTO RPM settings and cutting technique. Best for anyone already considering this specific mulcher who wants honest long-term ownership perspective over a first-look review.
An owner-operator channel focused on homestead projects, though Tony discloses a past (now lapsed) partnership with Bomalite, the mulcher's manufacturer.
Service it about once a year. If not serviced often, spray WD40 on the clutch to keep it from rusting together, which would defeat the slip function.
Yes, Tony mulched an eight-inch red oak at the base, taking his time and letting it finesse through, though it required patience.
The MP348 is rated at 50 horsepower, though it uses a 150 to 175 horsepower gearbox, so running a 55 horsepower tractor is not a concern.
There are dual grease fittings on the belt tensioner side and a fitting on the PTO shaft that need greasing periodically based on use.
