Your bucket helps to keep those seeds out of your tractor's radiator as well. It doesn't stop everything, but it definitely helps. Plus, it makes it easier for me to deal with keeping after the rocks that magically appear in my fields. I just jump out of the cab, pick up the biggest offenders and toss them in the bucket. Doing a day of brush cutting is also a good excuse for putting on the headphones and listening to music for several hours, or just using some 'quiet' time for getting your head right. Take care and God Bless.
Armadillos are one thing, Hogs are another. Not isolated holes, rather large rooted areas of uneven ground. Good thing around here(East Texas) it has been very wet. Hogs are content in the woods and not resorting to our property. Good luck with the armadillos!
Love your property it’s very pretty and well kept. Armadillos are sure a pain and really make a mess, I hope you can manage to get ahead of it, what a pain. ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
I said this once before that they have these boxes that give off sounds that only deer can hear they have one for every type of animal you can think of I don't know how far the sound go's but you might what to check them out you a your have wife have a great night
We have problems with rocks appearing every year. Anything from the size of your fist to a beach ball. Nothing you can do but stop and pick them up. But someone I know tested out a service in which they fly a drone over the field and it maps out all the rocks. Then they give you a map of where the rocks are located so you can drive right out to them and pick them up. Kind a cool. Probably not feasible but I wonder if that could be done with Armadillo holes.
i see you got the pool filter installed. How are the baby chickens doing? Have you moved the little family to the big coop yet? Great video. Your property is so beautiful and green.
Hi, Andrew! Armadillos are a plight to humanity. Has anyone ever discovered anything they contribute that’s beneficial? So sorry you must deal with them.
Don’t use high pressure air to clean your air filters! You’re tearing the filter media apart and it will let dirt pass through defeating the purpose of the filter. Low air pressure is fine from 30psi on down.
You've definitely not watched my tractor maintenance videos. I often say 30 psi is my target pressure I always turn to. th-cam.com/video/LA949mlqn7g/w-d-xo.html
Have you thought about adding a horizontal bar on the back of the rotary mower to mount two or three wheels? I think if you spread the footprint out to multiple wheels, it would keep from destroying the one wheel when it falls into one of those armadillo holes.
Those armadillos are watching for you! They sure can tear up your yard and I would hate to think of you or an animal stepping in one of the holes and getting seriously hurt! Hope you can get them under control even just a little bit, they seem to multiply like rabbits. 😢 Have a good rest of the week.😊
I wish I could walk around in shorts like that. We have too many ticks so when I am in the field I need to be fully covered with my socks over my pants. I know you have been on that property for like 10 years. Is the land that nice because it's florida or did you do anything to smooth it out. I have a property of really hilly land and its also bumpy from moles. I even busted part of my brush hog, though it was old when I got it and I busted a pretty messy repaired spot. But I'd like to know what I need to do to smooth things out. I was thinking of dropping loads of top soil and then dragging my box blade them to try and smooth things out.
We have plenty of ticks as well. Spraying and mowing helps. This property was overgrown when we bought it. I've spent years clearing, smoothing and planting to get to this point.
Andrew I noticed on your shop that you have 2 roll up garage doors. We had a metal building built on or property just finished with the same type doors. I am trying to figure out how to secure these doors. Thought pad locks and something inside that locks to the floor. What are your thoughts cause we will have equipment inside. Thanks
OMG, I didn't know how big those holes are, dillos are natural augers!!! No joke at all! Nice to see mowing and silly birds again, I am sure that fine young man ( was it Lenny?) enjoyed this video😀 What did you use to spray the wasp nest before taking it out (I usually steal my husband's arms cleaner Balistol for wasps and even hornets, so handy and does the work, LOL)
His name is a Lennox, aka Lenno. We have a powerful jet spray here or wasps, it shoots about 20 feet and knocks them right down. Black Flag made the one I use.
I could let you borrow my Texas Cattle Dog. She loves job to do and loves to hunt down small animals. She can smell armadillo's from 500 ft away and has excellent eye sight for at night.
I don't care how many times I see those birds I still enjoy watching them!
I like watching them too.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a freshly mowed field. One of Mother Natures finest aromas of spring and summer.
Agreed
Great trick on the seed. You arent kidding its expensive! Wow!
Yes it is! I spent thousands on seed when we first planted this place.
Awesome mowing video. I love the channel and the content. I am really happy for you guys. 😀
Cool to see the cow birds. Neat way to collect the grass seeds Andrew
About time those birds show up.

My earbuds are always in with music or a good podcast playing.
I don't have armadillos here in Minneapolis but i have hundreds of ground squirrels and thus hundreds of holes everywhere in my yard and fields.
So thankful we don't have those.
Glad to see you on the tractor.
It's about to be a weekly tradition 🤣
It's amazing how fast them cattle egret show up. Lol.
No kidding, often within seconds of starting the tractor.
Nothing runs like a deer!
It's all looking nice...keep up the great work!
Thank you
Awesome drone shots!
Thanks

I understand all about hogs, we live in Florida.

I've put a pretty big dent in the population.

Thank you for watching. I know the emitters you are talking about.
❤❤❤
Andrew, Your place look amazing from your drone, you take awesome care of it. I see your supervisor was watching from the old oak tree.
Thank you, we do put a lot of work into this place.
@@TKCL and it shows

It can during winter and the spring while the grass is dead. I actually did that a few months back and posted a video.
Cows will help you in the long run they will keep the holes caved in !! Dillos may find a new home!
That would be great!
Andrew I fill mine with mothballs and force them out. Eventually they disappear or allows me to night hunt for them.
I've been hunting them, got two more yesterday.
👍👍👍

Baby chicks are doing great. I'm finishing up the nursery in the big Coop today for the move over.
Hi, Andrew! Armadillos are a plight to humanity. Has anyone ever discovered anything they contribute that’s beneficial? So sorry you must deal with them.
Other than eating ticks and ants, they don't provide much help.

@@TKCL 10-4 that’s good then, it sounded a lot more than 30 but I trust you.

No problems on the rotary mower, it's my finish mower that's taking a beating.
I don't think you have to worry about cattle. They tend to identify the holes.
We shallow see, problem is a lot of them are hidden.
Those armadillos are watching for you! They sure can tear up your yard and I would hate to think of you or an animal stepping in one of the holes and getting seriously hurt!

They sure do seem to keep popping up. Take care!

Mine came with two floor kick locks. It also has a chain latch that can be locked. All doors usually have these.
I can’t believe how big your pine trees have gotten. Do they grow all year long?
They mainly have a big growth spurt in spring.
Your property is awesome! How many acres of land is that?
Thank you, we have 50 acres.
You need a good 17 hmr bolt rifle and some night vision optics and permanently remove them.
Ahead of you 😬 th-cam.com/video/GVhfSakbQiM/w-d-xo.html
Thermal.
Got one

That's how my friends blue healer is.
Idk if them dillos are worse or these damn gopher moles we have in south texas🤦♂️
Probably those gophers. They seem to make more holes.
them peskey varments! for get the lead pills need some propane and dynamite! problem is seed aint cheep!
Lol, got two more yesterday.
@@TKCL you need a diller pill party!
How do they dig holes without leaving a dirt mound behind? Like an ant would
They do leave dirt. That was an older abandoned hole I found.
Why do the birds come after you mow
To catch the bugs I flush out of the grass.
1st
Got it!
Congratulations 👏🎉🤘🏽
No clue how tk fix that problem you haveing. Are the birds in garden still a problem
They are not as much of a problem now that there are no seeds to dig up.
I thought you would be flail mowing
Not with all the huge dirt mounds and hidden limbs. I hit more than you could imagine with this being the first mowing of the year.
