Running a bush/brush hog is one of my favorite things to do with my tractors. Your daughter is right, it's very therapeutic. I also like the fact that the results are pretty apparent so I can enjoy the fruits of my labor.
I LOVE bush-hogging! The most therapeutic results you can achieve on a tractor with the right implement. Spent many, many years doing it and loved every minute!
Mike, I love your videos and your experience you share with us. Congrats on a lovely daughter and a daughter that takes an interest in her father's work and wants to help where she can. But as an old geezer with a lot of candles on my birthday cake and who has to wear glasses and hearing aids, I echo everyone that commented about your daughter not wearing ear and eye protection. You only get one set of eyes and one set of ears. Thank you David Kelley
Teaching your kids, especially your daughter's manual labor is very important, as many parents fail to do. So good job dad! My youngest daughter is 30, and she was out hauling bales of hay, shooting, building houses, and every other activity you can imagine since she was five years old.
Great video. One tip - when I bush hog I always leave my bucket on and lowered to the same cut height as the bush hog. This way if there is a rock or log there the bucket will find it instead of the hog. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Tractor Mike, I just really want to thank you for all that you do. We are city-folks with a country property and you have been a HUGE help to us in terms of understanding and maintaining our machinery. We finally just retired after having our country place for 12 years and never being able to spend any concentrated time there. As you can imagine, we have a lot to do. At any rate, you have truly helped us and I know we will continue to learn from you. So, what are we thankful for this Thanksgiving? Tractor Mike. Nice to meet you Reagan!
Thanks Mike and Regan. Having raised two daughters I never put any obstacles in their path. If they wanted to do something I was all in and they were so enthusiastic about the experience. Being in the position for buying my first ‘bush hog’ your explanation was great.
Happy to see family involvement. My kids don't have an interest but my teenage granddaughter does and I have given her tractor lessons and use of FEL and harrow, it has been FUN!
Great Job and Happy Thanksgiving!!! I would add that when I'm out bush hogging I definitely wear hearing protection, since I'm on the tractor for several hours at a time I like to use headsets that are blue tooth for music. Also I wear safety glasses, preferably tinted for the sun, it helps to keep the dust and sun out of my eyes as well as protection from tree limbs and branches. Another thing I like to wear protection wise is long sleeve shirts and a fishing hat for sun protection in the summer as well as gloves for the occasional times you need to adjust something on the tractor in the field or when your blades find a hidden spool of barbed wire........that has happened a couple times to me in other people's fields.
Teaching your kids how to perform manual labor is so important, especially your daughters. I taught my girl how to build a house, haul hay, shoot firearms, repair vehicles, and many other important life lessons since she was 5 years old.
I think this is great showing and allowing your daughter to learn tractor uses. Cause you never know when emergency will need her to do so, it would be great if life always was without problems.
It's so relaxing, isn't it? On a nice cool or cold day...while the sun is out and warm, it's so relaxing to cut grass. And she was spot on! There's so much pollen and dust in the air! I wear my neck gaiter...good points, and enjoyable video!
I brush hog several fields every year and its one of my favorite things to do. I like the uniform rows when I'm done. Some fields I've done haven't been mowed for years and sometimes I find quite a bit of things that I can't see because the brush or goldenrod is higher than the tractor and pretty thick. I run with the bucket just off the ground to serve as a rock, pipe, stump, and junk finder. The sound of the mower bothers my ears so I always wear head phones that hook to my iPod by way of Bluetooth. I can still hear the tractor sounds so I can still keep track of what's going on with the equipment. I listen to music because sometimes it can get kind of tedious if I'm doing a 3-4 hour lot. I'm outside enjoying the elements all the while I'm in the concert hall of my headphones. It's great. Sometimes if a field lends itself to it, I'll mow a diagonal pattern just to make things a little interesting and it looks niceer. I'm glad your daughter wants to get using a tractor, it can be very satisfying work.
Hope you find ways to get her involved in more videos. A lot of people watch these because they’re learning also and it’s good to relate to the operator. Wonderful daughter, congratulations to you both!
I would add a couple things: 1) always wear safety glasses and earplugs; 2) regularly look back over your shoulder to make sure there are no issues with the cutter.
Nice father daughter moment there. Good job mowing off the pasture are. Good job explaining the basics with the tractor & brush hog. Those thorns can really be hard on the tires. Hope you & your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. Take care.
Thanks Mike. I too was doing some tractor training with my 12 year old grandson and he's a quick learner and loves to help his Pap-pap doing things with the tractor. He's learned accurate tractor driving as well as a bit of grapple work. He's a good kid and wished he could stay with me for a couple weeks. We'd knock out a lot of land chores if he were here for a good length of time. Enjoyed watching you teach your daughter use the rotary cutter. She's got it down pretty good. Happy Thanksgovong and enjoyed a full-watch. 👍🏽🙂
Great video mike it’s good to see kids that won’t to spend time with their dad and she did a great job and you got a nap Hope you and your family had a good thanksgiving
Taught my daughter to brush hog too. Turns out it worked out for both us, I get a little extra help around the place and she gets to work on her suntan. LOL.
One important thing you didn't cover was watching behind you on BOTH sides when turning. There might be nothing to the inside of your turn but there could be a tree, rock or other obstacle up to and including a building on the outside of the turn. It's very easy to hit obstacles that were beside you a few seconds ago when you have an extra 8 or 10 feet of equipment hanging off the back of your tractor.
As always a great video. Another thing you may want to add to the safety list that I learned the hard way never wear shorts when you brush hog either. Especially if you have an older brush hog without the chain net because if it flings something like a rock or a stick towards you it hurts like heck! Lol
Great job all around! Recommend adding walkie-talkies with earpiece for the student. It really helped with our teaching sessions! Thanks again for another interesting video.
Very smart to wear a mask. Hope you were wearing hearing protection as well. I have plenty of honey locust as too. Thanks for the education over the years. Have a productive day.
She's right, running the bush hog is instant gratification, what I call "diesel therapy." I always wear ear plugs and some sort of glasses when doing any kind of mowing. Cutting down on the perceived noise actually can reduce the amount of fatigue after a long day of cutting. Also, being ready to lift the three-point in the event of meeting an obstruction might save you a shear pin.
Mike, it looks like you have a wonderful daughter - and she did well on the tractor. As for those spikes on the saplings, I think I have the same here, but they are actually Bradford pear saplings that have escaped cultivation. For some reason they have bigger spikes than the ones planted on purpose.
Hi Mike I remember my first time brush hogging and it ended badly I was brushing hogging the horse pasture and I hit a limb and ended up bending the top link support arms. Dad got very angry and took him 2 hours to straighten out the support arms to the top link of his brush hog
Mike I Always Wear Ear Protection.. I'm Glad She's Feeling Better.. And OH!! I see you had a good nap!! Great Video Mike & Hope You And Your Family Had A Great Thanksgiving.
Happy thanksgiving to you and the family also that’s good that she learn how to do stuff with the tractor.for anyone that never use a tractor can be fatal or accidental!!
I have 5075E John Deere has gas saver lever. Never have understood exactly when you need to use gas saver. I mostly brush hog and a 150 gallon sprayer. Could you explain maybe on video when to use gas saver?
I enjoy your videos Mike, they provide great information. However, being from Canada, I just have to wonder whether brush hogging is a recreational pastime in the US or whether land is really cheap there? Not this video specifically, but I have seen numerous TH-cam videos where people are brush hogging or mowing large flat fields. They seem to be unused except for brush hogging. Up here where land is super expensive, we would have cattle grazing on it or a crop growing on it that could produce a return for the owner. Can someone explain what I might be missing regarding the seeming popularity of brush hogging in the US? Thanks!
Hey Mike, i see you have a three angle on the back, it was necessary in Holland, but from 2022 we need license plates, so al its registered. What are all the rules for lights en stuff for agriculture vehicle in America? And what is allowed for weights en wide for tractors, speed and also thing's? Greets, Remco, The Netherlands
I don't think we have near as many rules about moving tractors on the road as you do, but I also get the feeling that you move equipment on the open road more than we do. I've never been to Holland, but I was in England a few years ago and was surprised at the number of farm tractors moving up and down the road. It's a rarity here except in remote farming areas. We have to have slow moving vehicle sign on the back and often we're required to turn lights on the tractor on, but we're not, for the most part, required to have trailer brakes or lights on anything we tow, but rules vary from state to state. In most rural areas you can get by with moving a tractor on the open road as long as you're not on a major highway, the law enforcement people tend to leave you alone.
Good stuff, one less task you have to do now. Like my old man would say, “that’s why I had a kid, to cut wood, clean the gutters, and crawl under the house!” 🤣
As always from you, Mike, this is another great instructional video. However, although I realize your daughter is still young, it's never too early to start wearing hearing -- and even eye -- protection when on a tractor. You would be doing your audience an even greater service if you emphasized and exhibited these safety precautions that potentially have significant quality of life impacts.
as a newbie myself this reflects my experience...without Mike to help me through the learning curve :-( Loud, dusty, and scary. Plus tractors have no suspension so the ride is rough! But i got the job done and am getting more comfortable over time.
Mike and Family: Happy Thanksgiving! One question: I've got a JD 4310,. It doesn't have a "graduated" engagement lever for the PTO like your New Holland, just an engage/disengage button. I know I should not have the engine revved up to 2600 rpm -- the recommended rpm setting for my brush hog -- when I engage the PTO so as not to put too much stress on the sheer pin, but at what rpm setting should I be when I engage the PTO? I've been engaging at around 640 rpm and then revving up without problems but acknowledge your comment that such a low rpm setting might be hard on the engine.
Donald, there's no set rule, but I'd rev it up a little, maybe to 1000-1200 RPM to engage, it would seem to me to be a little easier on the engine, but whatever feels right.
It's mainly for visibility and I just don't like carrying the extra weight around. Plus, I have been known to swing around and girdle a tree with the edge of the bucket :).
2 comments Mike. First, you didn’t spend much time on the set up of the brush hog. Perhaps you covered this in a previous video. The cutting height is not just controlled by the height of the 3 pt , it is also controlled by the wheel(s) at the back end of the brush hog. People have advised me to set the front end of the brush hog slightly lower than the rear end so that if you are driving forward while cutting, the brush hog is doing most of the work at the front end. Second, I noticed that you did not have the bucket attached to your loader. That would be the preferred way to do the job because you can see where you are going more easily and you have less weight to worry about if you need to raise the loader arms to avoid an obstacle. If you have the bucket attached, which is how I always used my tractor in the beginning, you are always having to raise and lower the bucket in order to see better what’s in front of you. And if you are on a slope that can affect your center of gravity and increase the risk of turning over. Thanks for all the videos you do, Mike.
It there were a groundhog under my bush hog and I made no effort to turn the PTO on, I'd be neglecting my responsibilities to my country. I would always check for cats.
Too bad she had to wear a mask, but if it was for the dust, that was the appropriate use of it, not to go to school or for anything else, which is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and dangerous to your psychological and physical health.
Running a bush/brush hog is one of my favorite things to do with my tractors. Your daughter is right, it's very therapeutic. I also like the fact that the results are pretty apparent so I can enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Glad to see father daughter time. Hope you had a great thanksgiving.
Isn't it so fulfilling to teach your child a new task and to see her do so well? God bless you both. And Happy Thanksgiving to your family.
Her comments were insightful. I had similar conversation with my son recently, you did a good job.
Super helpful video. Love her tips about the hat and mask. I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you both.
That’s a fine daughter you have!
I am looking forward to my grandsons helping me as they get a little older.
Great Job and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Good training and safe operation of the equipment is the best way for us
I think this is great showing and allowing your daughter to learn tractor uses. Cause you never know when emergency will need her to do so, it would be great if life always was without problems.
Happy thanksgiving to you Mike. I’m thankful for all the things you have taught me and your subscribers!
Let’s do it again next year!🦃🦃🦃☮️✌🏻
What I would have given for a father who was also a good teacher. Lucky kid. Nice job Mike. Sub'd.
It's so relaxing, isn't it? On a nice cool or cold day...while the sun is out and warm, it's so relaxing to cut grass. And she was spot on! There's so much pollen and dust in the air! I wear my neck gaiter...good points, and enjoyable video!
Great job!!! Great job Dad!!!
I didn’t hear you talk about safety equipment ie eye and ear protection. Thank you for sharing Mr. Mike.
I love it! Thank you for being so respectful!
Thank you Mike and Regan for all of your videos! Happy Thanksgiving!!

She did wonderful job Mike now you have person too help.
It's nice to see the kids get to the age where they take on responsibilities... congrats on a job well done in raising a nice kid.
Hope you find ways to get her involved in more videos. A lot of people watch these because they’re learning also and it’s good to relate to the operator. Wonderful daughter, congratulations to you both!

Your best child hands down😂
Well done.....feel free to come up north and run the snow blower.....open cab...you will love it🤣
Nice father daughter moment there. Good job mowing off the pasture are. Good job explaining the basics with the tractor & brush hog. Those thorns can really be hard on the tires. Hope you & your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. Take care.
Mowing with the Kubota M5660 is my happy place! 😊

Nice video. I love brush hogging.
Nice job Reagan ! Happy Thanksgiving Reagan, Mike & family. Always enjoy your videos.
Very nice video Mike. It sure looked like you got a workout on this one, blue skies and lots of sunshine. Stay safe
Good job overseeing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Great job Mike,awesome daughter you have there, love my cab LS tractor for bush hogging and winter snow work
Those were good tips for a new hogger. I am glad to see that this is a family adventure lol. Thank you both for the info. Happy Thanksgiving
Great job! It is also a lot of fun! Soon you will be taking over from your dad!
Great video, Mike - thanks! Have a very happy Thanksgiving with your family.

I am not a safety nut by any means but hearing and eye protection is a must doing this job. I always worry about my kids safety more then my own.
Great channel !!!!!
Happy thanksgiving to you and the family also that’s good that she learn how to do stuff with the tractor.for anyone that never use a tractor can be fatal or accidental!!
My pto is electronically engaged, so I don't have a choice for it to go slow. I haven't ever sheered a pin just turning pto on.
Happy Thanksgiving Mike. I enjoy all your very informative videos..
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Cool video..it would be wise to wear hearing protection unless you were wearing ear plugs and I couldn't see.
Awesome family!

Where at in Missouri? I’m just outside of Pilot Grove, MO. (Central)
Ozark area.
as a newbie myself this reflects my experience...without Mike to help me through the learning curve :-(
Loud, dusty, and scary. Plus tractors have no suspension so the ride is rough! But i got the job done and am getting more comfortable over time.
I could not tell in the video but a good set of ear protection is also important
Mike and Family: Happy Thanksgiving!

I had my daughter brush hogging in a level field but I was riding with her. She was 8 at the time
Hey Mike, I have noticed that you always remove the bucket while brush cutting, is there any particular reason for that?
It's mainly for visibility and I just don't like carrying the extra weight around. Plus, I have been known to swing around and girdle a tree with the edge of the bucket :).
As a 72 yo person who now suffer with industrial deathness I notice you mention about the noise but nothing about ear protection. Just an observation.
Whats the chances of that very spiked brush going to give you a flat tractor tire ? Or did she drive right over top of them ?
I use my seatbelt 100%

Thanks for all the videos you do, Mike.
Another suggestion for your daughter, wear safety glasses and ear protection. Especially, in the dusty grassy areas. Like how she wore the mask.
That locust, was nothing compared to what I have been dealing with, in eastern Oklahoma!...
It there were a groundhog under my bush hog and I made no effort to turn the PTO on, I'd be neglecting my responsibilities to my country. I would always check for cats.
She's cute. I would wear eye and eye protection.
You couldn't get her a cab tractor with air and a radio?
No eye or hearing protection?
I always wear hearing protection earmuffs
If it's loud, you should be wearing hearing protection. Even if it's just moving the tractor around.
A chair in the sun while someone else does the dusty work... looks like a fair division of labor to me.
where is her hearing protection
Please use hearing protection.
I know how this works. Teach Reagan how to brush hog and dad never does it again!
Too bad she had to wear a mask, but if it was for the dust, that was the appropriate use of it, not to go to school or for anything else, which is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and dangerous to your psychological and physical health.
