Gorse Mulching with amazing views (New Zealand)

Come along for the ride while we mulch gorse in the beautiful and remote Mahurangi Regional Park (East), in Auckland, New Zealand. General public access is by boat or coastal walk-in only - so it's an absolute hidden gem. .
The goal is to eliminate as much gorse as we can while preserving native trees and plants. So, it is very picky (and very steep in places).
This is 2.5 hours of wild footage - unedited. I hope you enjoy!
Machinery: John Deere 4066R and FieldMaster GMM180 mower (with customised blade carriers - 24 "triple stack" knives).
Clip includes some "grumpy old man" commentary on the woefully inadequate John Deere cooling system on the 4000 series tractors. Join me for a grumble at 1:41:20 This system is one of the most frustrating things John Deere have come up with to make "in the field" maintenance super frustrating and cumbersome. On a hot and dusty day, it is not uncommon to have to go through this palaver 2 or 3 times so that the tractor does not overheat. In the older 3000 series tractors it took less than one minute to achieve the same goal - lift the hood, blow out the radiator, drop the hood and carry on working - (duh!!).
