Hi Phil! Thanks, buddy. To be honest, I so wish I had gotten a flail mower instead. I have just this little bit of field that I use it on, but the fail mower would be really handy cutting new trails. You've definitely got a better use case for a brush hog than I do! Thanks for watching, my friend :)
Yes it was! The deer bedded down on every square inch of that part of the land. We let Scotland Yard go wild all summer to see what all would grow there and that grass got to be over 4 foot in that area. I appreciate you watching, Ben!
Hi David! Great job! Brush hogging is a dusty job when it’s really dry. I hope you managed to stay upwind as much as possible. Looks like you’ll be busy with that rake for a while! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Martin! It was difficult staying out of the dust clouds for sure! The raking saga will be on full display in the next video. Thanks for watching, my friend!!
So dry here, man. We're part of the drought plaguing all of the west coast of North America and still no rain in the forecast for next week. Usually it's been raining for weeks this time of year. At least I can get more projects done that are down in the low parts of the land. Thanks for watching, buddy!
There is an attachment that you can buy that makes hooking up the pto much easier David. They cost around $300 for your tractor. If you don’t mind the price, they are the cats meow. That rough uneven ground gives a really rough ride on these smaller tractor doesn’t it David? Man, I can almost see that dust cloud from Iowa.
LOL you should have seen me after that, Gary! Yeah I've thought about getting one of those PTO connectors but since I only use that brush hog a couple times per year, it's fairly low on the wish list. They do seem to really help out though. Thanks for watching, my friend! 😀
Hey Mech! Yeah a nice sealed cab with A/C would be awesome. I don't get one though because I go through the forest with low branches all the time. Thanks for watching, buddy!
I was surprised how much dust it was kicking up at times, your ground must be very dry. Are you planning to rake up all the grass before hitting it with the box blade?
Yes we have broom weed and tansy popping up on the land and I pull it out whenever I get the chance. That stuff is like the plague! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, but mainly because when first engaging the PTO, it's best to have the cutter shaft as level as possible to prevent binding at the u-joint. It's just a best practice though, not necessarily required. Thanks for watching, buddy. :)
Oh....the sneaky drone footage !! LOL Nice touch David. Nice and dusty, the way I like it. Not really, I prefer lush and green. Actually we had no bush hogs or three point stuff on the farm and I have very little bush hog experience at all !! I still swear you are a student of Martin @ DIY My Way with the tone and tenor of the ending salutation. My hats off to ya for a good video and commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it, Wendell! I don't' do a lot of drone footage, but I agree it's a nice touch at times. That dust really makes it hard to do long hours on the tractor, but I don't get a lot of choice during the summer. Plus it's too wet to grade in any of the other seasons. Heck, it didn't get dry enough this year until late July because of the late spring rains we got this year. Martin at @DIYMyWay was my inspiration for starting my channel so I'm sure influenced my tone! Thanks for watching, my friend! 😀
Let the dust fly, the hog has quite the appetite. Well done. It's an implement that I have never used. You seemed to have a good knowledge on operating it. You mentioned that it is something you don't like attaching, is it difficult to do? Keep up the good work and have a great day David!
Thank you, Paul! Just hooking up the PTO is difficult so it's not specific to the brush hog itself. If I was younger with less lifetime injuries, I'm sure it would be easier. LOL Thanks for watching, buddy!
Looking great out there !! I miss not having a tractor and a brush hog anymore !! Used to brush hog as a side work about 20 years ago, I always enjoyed it !! Take care and be safe !!
I love mowing with my rotary cutter! Its really relaxing to me. That looked like a really good time and I can't wait to see how it looks after you smooth it all out!
Hey Justin! Yeah it was pretty fun, but it was still really hot when I filmed it. The dust was worse than the heat though! Thanks for watching, buddy! :)
LOL yeah, I guess that wasn't too clear. :) It's either soaking wet or dry as a bone here. Even though it was really dry, the grass was still holding water down near the roots.
Love it! It is so much fun to get out and maintain your land. Looking good, David!
Thanks, Lucas! Yes sir, I agree 100%. Appreciate you watching, bud! :)
Land is looking good David!
Thank you, brother! Appreciate you watching. 😃
Nice cutting!
I could use a brush Hogg
Just another attachment on my list along with the rake and grapple 😊
Thanks for sharing David !

Good camera angles, clear narration... Great video! That's quality tractor therapy, sir!
Thank you, brother! I appreciate it Logan :)
Shew it must have been really dry there this summer, dusty!! The grass looked pretty thick and matted down. Enjoyed the video!
Yes it was! The deer bedded down on every square inch of that part of the land. We let Scotland Yard go wild all summer to see what all would grow there and that grass got to be over 4 foot in that area. I appreciate you watching, Ben!
The property sure is looking good . Nice brush hogging !!
Why thank you, Del! Appreciate it. :)

Morning David 😁looks dry out there. I like the idea of the Willow tree. Looks like a perfect spot. We need rain over here too. Thanks for the video.🚜💨

You brush hog got a good workout but you clean it up for the willow.....good job.....CHEERS
Yes sir, Gator! Of course it took much longer than what it looked like on film. It did a decent job. Thanks for watching, my friend. :)
Getting it done
Yes sir! Thanks for watching, Dave :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors my pleasure

It would be nice to have a cab on the tractor with all that dust. The rake is going to have a work out. Later

That's the plan, Joseph and will be covered in the next video. :) Thanks for watching, mate!
we have a broom weed problem and use the brush hog to knock down (but not really control)
but it keeps the grass a little greener in the drought
Yes we have broom weed and tansy popping up on the land and I pull it out whenever I get the chance. That stuff is like the plague! Thanks for watching!
You got access to a Black Diamond mulcher to put on the back of your tractor?
Never knew that on brush cutters . . . having to be somewhat flat. I guess they have a bit of flex in them?
Yeah, but mainly because when first engaging the PTO, it's best to have the cutter shaft as level as possible to prevent binding at the u-joint. It's just a best practice though, not necessarily required. Thanks for watching, buddy. :)

Oh wow, didn't know you used to have a tractor. I wish you still did! I appreciate you watching, buddy! :)
You could see the occasional hornet zoom past the camera...got my blood pressure up! Great stuff as always David!
Oh wow, I didn't notice. I haven't been stung by a hornet since the 1980's. Hopefully that won't change any time soon. LOL Thanks for watching, Chris!
Hurry up and make a video of the new lazy river y’all putting in! 👍🏻
On it! ;)

@@PaleHorseOutdoors the dust did look really bad. It gave me a little laugh when you said it stays wet there and then there was a massive dust cloud.
LOL yeah, I guess that wasn't too clear. :) It's either soaking wet or dry as a bone here. Even though it was really dry, the grass was still holding water down near the roots.
David, haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is well.
Hey Mike, been a busy 6 months with work and surgeries. On the mend now!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors you take care and heal quickly my friend and get back with us.
a Brush Hog is next on our 'buy' list. It did a great job for you today!
-Kris
It does the job. 😃 I wish I had gotten a flail mower instead though. Maybe next time. LOL Thanks for watching, Kris 😃
