Tractor Mulcher

[Bolt]

Hello y'all

 

Anyone have any ideas of training available for tractor mounted mulchers (like seppi mulchers).

 

Great fun, if a little "blatant".

 

Ideally we need a nationally accredited qualification.

 

All the best.......

I think you be looking for the FMOC flails and mulchers unit. It's somewhere in unit 6 i think. You'll need to do a a unit 1.3 too for the tractor.

 

Maybe lantra awards do something as well. Just done their side arm flail course so now i have a bit of paper telling me i can use it safely.

Many thanks Brushcutter

 

Not sure I have come across FMOC before.

 

To be honest, my tractor "certification" dosn't currently extend beyond tractor mounted sprayer.

 

Lantra do, I believe, somthing called course approval or such like, where you can put together your own content, and get it to them for approval and subsequent national accreditation, which is all well and good, but I guess you still have to prove you have got someone capable of delivering it.

 

no need to bother if there is a course already there:001_smile:

 

something to look into tomorrow

FMOC is Forest machine operator certificate. It's through NPTC. The tractor unit (wheeled rigid) is unit 1.3 and you'll need that before you can do the mulcher. Once you have that you can do others with it like tractor mounted harvester and forwarder.

 

I think it was Land based training that i did my FMOC 1.3, 3.1,3.2,3.3 (which is forwarding) with. Did side arm with them too.

Ah yes FMOC, I remember now, had a mate who was a forestry contracton who used to bang on about them a fair bit. They sound just the crowd, cheers
