- Brush Cutting Crazy Overgrown Field with a small tractor? Can it be done? Watch this TYM Tractors T264 and a 5 foot Hardee rotary cutter go at this overgrown field. 4' to 5' weeds with 8 foot trees. This is a lot to ask of a big tractor, but even more to ask of a small tractor. Watch the full video to see if the T264 can handle it!

Nice job. Nothing more satisfying than clearing an over grown field. Looks much better.
Thank you my friend. I really had fun doing that.
Way to go Master T! Love how our Tank 264 fires up the PTO so nice and smooth. So used to having that big jolt but not anymore! 👍😁
The T264 is a lot smooth for sure.
Looks like the T264 can handle most anything with in reason, great job Tony stay safe and healthy and keep the videos coming.
Brian, Yep! This was at the top end of what I would do, but it did great!
My most favorite job to do with a tractor. Good job Tony! Looks great! 🚜
Thank you my friend. We enjoyed doing this for them.
Good information and footage. It's nice to know that a smaller tractor can still tackle a big job. Well done!
I was impressed with the speed of which you cut this field. Great job!
The TYM T264 is really well matched for this task. It has great lugging power.
Both the tractor and the operator did a nice job on knocking all that down.
Thank you my. I just had to slow down every now and then. Love mowing!
I cut about 2 acres that looked like that with a zero turn. Sometimes had to do 1 foot at a time but it got cut except for some of the bigger trees. Chain saw and mattocks took those out. Learned how to get roses and blackberries cut without too many thorns.
I love a challenge also. This property is now Pristine Yard.
Glad to see someone else using a 5ft ‘hog behind a small tractor. We pull ours with a B-2601 Kubota. Great job Tony.
That’s a nice job Tony, that little tractor is a real workhorse!
It really does work bigger than it is. I really did a lot of homework before I bought this one. The fact that TYM let me demo one on the channel told me they trusted the machine. They were right.
Two comments: 1. Isn't it a good feeling completing a task with a tractor? 2. I dig the first guitar boogie music.
Nice video Tony. Easy to forget about the radiator lint brush hogging
I have a battery-powered blower for this year.
Battery powered leaf blower work great on clearouts. Helps cool quicker as well when done. I hope this helps, your pal BigBadBubbaBurns
I bet you are helping TYM sell more T264 than ever. Amazing all the things you do with this unit Tony. But like I've found out, it is hard NOT to have a good TYMe on these tractors.
I have not problem showing the TYM T264 on our channel. Tanja and I both think TYM makes one of the best tractors out there. TYM will be a household name in the future.
Good work mate. 'Small' tractors can do most things, provided you do it right. Greetings from Down Under (Australia)👍
Yes sir. So much fun too. Spent some time with the Australian Army in Afghanistan. Great Soldiers.
Thank you! Loved this. We are getting ready to buy one of these. Seems like this will be perfect for what we need it for.
I upgraded to the T25 from the T264, but they are both great tractors.
I vicariously mowed a field thru you this morning Tony! 😀 Great Job!
Vicariously is a big word to use on me. My wife helped me out! 😁😅😁 Thank you for watching my friend. Tony
Tony's Tractor Adventure ok here is the long version! I wish I had a tractor, cutter, hay rake and a bailer and lived in TN. I found your channel watching Hank’s and I always enjoy seeing new content from each of you. Have a blessed day!
Fellow TN guy. We are glad to have you. Always doing something on the channel. Let me know if I can help to find a tractor. We can get you a little seat time before you buy.
That’s pretty impressive for a smaller tractor. Great job 👍
It is rock solid.
Hey Tony, Just wanted to point out that the Massey GC series does not get clogged up because the radiator is in the rear and the fan blows towards the front of the tractor. I have cut grass similar to this and did not have to stop one single time to clear the grille or the screen.
Mine clogged up often. Much more than others. Still a good tractor.
Nice video. Little tractor getting it done. There is a lot to be said for some of those small utility tractors.
I tend always to gravitate toward the smaller tractor. I can see well, and it is very capable.
I'm watching this after seeing one of Tim's previous episodes where he used a fixed flail mower on his 1025R. He had to shut it down to clean the radiator at least once. Always ends up bringing the debate of rotary cutter vs flail mower.
I have the side flail mower to be the best setup for mowing.
Tailwheel adjusting is a pain, but maybe go in high cut, then you can see if there are tires cement blocks, broken utility pole cross arms(how would I know!). You lucked out. Then do a lower more finisher cut, able to see some things.
No luck here. I walked the property.
Good point Tony on doing a walk about before mowing a unknown property . Tangling up a old fence in the mower is not a fun day . Stopping and Cleaning the tractor air paths grills and rad are a must do .👍 After i do a lot of mowing I always blow the tractor off with compressed air . I could not believe how much crap gets in the rad / alternator and around the engine also . The rear mower and tractor did a nice job and didn’t work hard at all 👍
I most days remember to bring my leaf blower to the field. Not this one! The blower makes easy work of this task in the field. I have wrapped wire around my rotary cutter before. It sucks! LOL.
Tony's Tractor Adventure That’s good idea . I should hang the blower on the roll bar tool rack . 👍👍👍
Nice job you're doing with that small unit. But have to mention; When you're going through the thick stuff take it down on speed a little. Saves you wearing out your tractor and hydro and it gives your mower a little more time to do its job and cut through the materials. Also you gives the mower a bit more time to mulch the long stuff a bit so you're not stuck with long grasses and sticks. This way the leftovers decompose a bit better and faster. Just my 2 thoughts on the work. Like your channel though 👍🏼
I appreciate your thoughts. We are looking forward to another year of mowing, sawmilling and building our dream. Tony
this guy cracks me up. sees a task that most would think it's too big for that little tractor, and he just goes in full send and that little tractor just keeps on churning without breaking a sweat. what about discing? any experience discing with a 6ft disc
I have only used a tiller with it. 60"
Never seen a Hardee brush cutter. It did a good job.
They are a old local SC company that is expanding USA Wide.
Terry from Christchurch New Zealand love ua work young lady man, l take my battery powered blower when im mowing just too keep the radiator clear.
I got a new blower to bring with me. That doesn't mean I will remember to bring it.
Tony about to pull the trigger on buying a t264, you should come out with a video showing all the problems youve had woth it (if any) or any negatives you can think of about it
To this point, no issue. Rock solid. It is narrow getting on and off. Tilt steering would have been nice. I would still buy it again.
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much.
Great video
Thank you Tim. Good times
I never wanted a tractor more than the time another Tony dropped the mower on a pile of 2" tree limbs. He even dug a pool at his neighbor's. house. Right now, I'm watching some workers examine one of the input shafts on a double wide setup. I guess it goes without saying you wouldn't want to drop the beavertail on a stump!
Nice job
Thank you my friend.
That thing looked like a lawn mower with a bucket 😂
You strike me as the kind of person that tries to make up for personal shortcomings with big tires. 🤣🤣🤣
I have the ck2510 kioti whi ch I like, but that TYM seemed to cut alot faster with a 5 foot than mine does. Might have to change tractors.
I am going to cut my pasture today for the last time this year. I am looking forward to it.
Tony do you know what the torque specs for the LS mt125 wheels are I can't seem to find them anywhere . Thanks for your help. Dan
I don't have a LS any longer. All my manuals went with the tractor. Sorry
Nice👍
Thank my friend.
Hi Tony. Do you ever wish you would have bought a little bit bigger tractor? I'm leaning towards a t264 but afraid I'll regret not getting just a little bigger tractor. Will be primarily harvesting firewood ,brush cutting small fields,and maintaining 23 acres. I've been looking heavily at tym though and rk tractors which are tym.
I guess I did buy the bigger tractor. I was leaning towards a T254, but decided to step up based on my loader needs. I also have the T474 for bigger stuff.
Just wandering Tony if you have used a flail cutter or compared it to a rotory cutter thanks for all you do.
I have not used one, but I have often thought it would be better due to holding the weight closer to the rear of the tractor. The rotary cutter is less complex than a flail mower.
That’s great Mr Tony I would love to get a flail mower or bush hog one day!
Great video oldie but goodie! 😜
I plan on testing both a flail mower and a bush hog next year. It is about done this year.
@@TonysTractorAdventure yes it is! Will be looking forward to that!
Bad ass I m impressed with the tractor !!! Normally it would take a 30 / 35 horse to do what you are doing !!! Thank you !!!
Mark, Yes Sir. I always say this tractor acts bigger than it is. It has a great torque band putting the power where it is needed.
@@TonysTractorAdventure thank you !! I am impressed with the tym tractors !!! Keep up the good work !!!
Could you float your grapple to snag potential fence wire
Depends on the grapple and the bottom angle. Not this one
Lot of the new bigger tractors have a reversible fan to so the big farmers don't have to stop to clean it out be careful if you mow down little trees you could pop a tire next time you mow and run over the cut off tree stump
Most big tractors with reversible fans cost $100,000 or more. I have never popped a tire with industrial tires. I guess it could happen. Not a big worry to me. I would worry more about some piece of metal left in the field. Much more likely a scenario.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I used to find lost rototiller tines (previous land owner). Often found them in my suddenly broken equipment, rarely just laying on the ground.
we are looking into buying these attachments - what about the part that remained. If you don't mind asking - did you leave these small trees for landscaping or they were too big for the tractor and require a larger equipment? Thanks
Some of both. Everything has limits. Most rotary-mowers are broken down in cut size. 1 inch through 3 inches for most tractor cutters. This is rated a 2 inches if memory serves.
@@TonysTractorAdventure , thank you! :) looking forward for fighting the brush and old logs , and your video is very inspiring!
Gald to see one of the cutters I built in action
Glad to shoe it. You did good work.
Awesome Video Tony! God that TYM is a gorgeous tractor.
PS love the chainsaw holder, was thinking about building one for my Kubota BX.
It is a good looking simple tractor with everything you need to work. Mainly power to do the job. TYM did a great job matching the power bands of the engine to this tractors.
You can save 5% with the code in the description. SawHaul does that for our viewers. Good American company too.
@@TonysTractorAdventure thats great to hear!
Tony's Tractor Adventure good to know thanks Tony
What if there are some hidden rocks among those bushes? It will damage the fan. How do you manage it? BTW great job.
Don't mow rocks. Rocks bad. LOL! I talked about walking the field before I mowed.
looks to me that your machines did a good job
It did an excellent job for its size. I appreciate you watching.
How do you quote or know what to charge. I want to start this year.
I did a video on setting rates.
What kinda rotory cutter are you using Tony? Its doing a great job. As you know, a higher rpm makes for a better cut. My younger brother argues with me about that. He thinks I'm working my machine to hard and wasting fuel. But if you get your manual out it says to keep you pto @ 540 rpm. Guess everyone has their own opinion.
It is a Hardee rotary cutter made to cut at 540 rpm. I cut at 540 rpm.
When mowing, it’s full throttle.
Not quite. Each tractor is different.
If you exceed the recommended rpm then you run the risk of twisting your PTO shaft. I did that years ago on a large tractor the very first time I used it to cut as I was thinking "faster equals more power and cutting it faster".
You are more likely to get struck by lightning twice than twisting a shaft on these small tractors. It has skip clutch on the shaft too. Even at full RPM it might be turning 580 RPM.
a good thing to do when brush hoggin something like that is drive through a couple passes slow and loud to scare wildlife and cats out ...
I do that out of caution. I don't want to drive in a ditch I can't see. Still seen a lot of field rats.
Another thing is to make two passes in heavy weeds. Start the first one a little high and the lower the shredder on the second pass.
@100% Texan It was a pasture out of control. It could have used another pass for sure.
Thanks for wearing a wireless mic. What is that orange thing on the tractor that looks like one of those big foam fingers.lol
It is a chainsaw.
Would this handle a 72" mower?
No, it would not. Mowers use more HP. It is a strong tractor, but I would go with the 5 hp for each foot rule.
What's the price range for this Baby Giant?
I never talk price because it is so different for so many reasons. It also changes and this video hangs out for years. This i will say. Very good price.
👍👍
Thank you Tom
What would you normally charge that job for ? By the hour? And how much?
Normally, it is not worth your time and wear to move for less than $150. You will have to figure out your cost. Most people start out not asking enough.
Tony's Tractor Adventure I should have a T574 from Smiths next week. I’m just looking for something to do on the side. Didn’t know if most people price the hr or the job !
Not all jobs are equal as this video shows. I love the T574. I got to spend a good bit of time with it this week.
In my area $60-$75 an hour is a reasonable rate for tractor work. You should also keep in mind that it takes time to hook up your trailer, attach the appropriate implement, load up, drive to the job, drive home, and unload. Factor that time into your minimum charge.
If it's a small job and it takes you 2 hours to load up and drive there and 2 hours to drive home and unload, then just be upfront about the reason for the minimum charge. Most people will understand.
To add to that. I'd charge by the hour when you first get started. Once you've had some experience with different types of jobs and have a better idea of how long it takes to get things done, you can start quoting jobs more accurately.
How does the tym compare to the LS tractors you have had on your channel in the past ?
LS Tractors are OK, but TYM does a few things better I think. A good example is the MT125. It does not have greasable bushings on the front axle pivot. People who are using their loaders a lot are wearing out the frame and front axle pivot bushing of the tractor and the axle gets loose. I have had this complaint many times. The bushing is metal on metal and it wears out the actual welded on frame mount of the tractor. There is no way to fix it other than cut it off and weld on something homemade. This can start happening in as little as 100 hours with heavy loader use. TYM on the other hand uses greasable pivot bushings which are replaceable all the way down to the smallest TYM T224. They have grease fittings on almost everything. The smallest tractor will last for years if maintained. The parts are replaceable if they are needed in 30 years.
@@TonysTractorAdventure the mt125 isn't quite an apples to apples comparison though. The t264 is a lot more machine. In all fairness, I wouldn't take a mt125 or xj2025 either over the t264. Ls didn't quite get them right. But the mt225s is new this year, addresses all the shortcomings I could find in previous models, and is overall a big step up for LS to be competitive in the current market. This specific model makes it worth a second look at LS now. Plus if you're tall like me the 6in longer wheelbase is a must have for comfort. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great content man. You helped push me into a grapple and I cant thank you enough for that! Use it everyday
Now that hay field Sir 👍😊 You should a life stock to breed LOL 😊🤣👍 Great tractor for sure 👍😊 Cheers !!!
That was very overgrown, but it looks so much better now. God Bless and have a great weekend.
@@TonysTractorAdventure😊👍
To my great Fortune tropical storm beta turned out to be a dud I'm only 30 miles from where it made landfall and I do not have a single drop of water in my yard and the funniest part about it I'm on the dirty side Galveston is on the other side of me and water washed across the roads.
Sincerely
Not doing the backstroke
Glad it was a dud! Many storms this year. We have been so wet for late summer. Rained on the first day of Fall too.
Tractor is doing a good job for what you are asking of it. I'd submit you should slow down just a bit though, its not a race.
I wanted to know it down. It dried out and was re-mowed. It is a perfect yard now.
Tony your the man is your bush hog running on a 540 PTO ?
Yes sir. It is running at 540 rpm.
What hp
25 HP on a bigger frame. Workhorse.
Ain't nothing wrong with that set up it was moving right along
I agree. It was about perfectly matched for anything I want to do. This job was on the very high end and not what I will do most of the time.
Probably an off beat question, but you don't happen to recall what kind, or still have this hat do you?
I don't know. That was several years ago.
@@TonysTractorAdventure yeah I figured it was a long shot but hoped you might still have it haha
am i they only who notice it looks like in the video that your rear wheels are spinning backwards and your front wheels are not turning at all?
Camera illusion. It is to do with frames per second. It happens on airplane props too. I appreciate your view.
What do you charge to bush hog a filed that size?
I didn't charge. I just don't work much outside our own stuff anymore.
@@TonysTractorAdventure wow that's a lot of work and fuel etc for nothing. I can see doing it for yourself. But for other people I'd have to charge them.
We have been blessed, so sometimes we help people out that can't help themselves. If I remember right, the lady payed for our fuel and let us shoot video. It worked out for us.
Im in the market for a tractor and I am at a toss up between the t264 and the Kioti cx2510. Any advice there?
I think the Kioti is a bit bigger. Both are good tractors. I have grown partial to TYM. The T264 has been rock solid. Good value too.
Looks like your mower discharge is to the left side… you should reverse your mowing direction so that it discharges to the cut side, not piling put next to the uncut row/edge. Your mower has to ‘double cut’ the discharge. Less efficient. You should also spend some time “opening up the field” so you can easily turn around and cut in as straight of lines as you can. Less maneuvering and keeps the mower in maximum contact with uncut grass.
Last point, while you did mention speed and some parts of the field were thicker but you’re going way too fast, leaving a lot of uncut material in your path. When that springs back up in a few days, it will look like crap.
I appreciate your input but as I said in the video, this was a one-time cut. I got in and I got out.

Amen and amen on the scripture God Bless
Yes Sir. We plant seeds where we can.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Yes sir
Would of done it in reverse, Bushog would hit any problems poking out first not the tractor 🚜, what is cheaper to fix. Radiator don’t get blocked.
Not me. That's rough on the nexk looking back
Tony's Tractor Adventure Need to put some mirrors on the machine. When you do the slope, as you say up and down, you driving up and reverse down cause that’s not the safest way to do it. Reverse up then all the weight is in the correct plane. Health and safety.
That sounds about right. In this case the is not very aggressive. When I live in the mountains, mowing was an art.
With hurricane beta knocking on my door I just had to ask would you like for me to save you some liquid sunshine sincerely high tide
Oh no! You stay safe. We will keep you in our prayers
HAY TONY ... YOU GOT A NICE SET-UP THERE. ... YA THAT THING CUTS A MEAN BLADE OF GRASS... LOOKS LIKE YOUR A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE REST OF THE LAWN...

5 ft cutter will eventually burn up that pto clutch.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling,
Why do you say that?
Don't worry about the first post. There are 264s with 600 hours of mowing still going strong. I can't find one instance of a PTO failure on this tractor. I talk with a lot of TYM people and dealers.
another thinking 。。。。chainsaw can use clear bush.
There were a few brush/trees that needed a chainsaw.
If u notice he's going way to fast mower not cutting very well
I'm afraid I have to disagree. There is too much material. No matter how fast you mow, it will never mulch it up. The best course of action is to knock it down, let it dry, and re-mow. This is all a beautiful yard now.
@@TonysTractorAdventure your opinion but 40 years of doing it says different in mine. Good luck
@@donrainier6452 well speaking of opinions! lol 😆
Yep, he’s going way too fast, putting excessive load on his engine and leaving a poor cut.
you'd miss a lot less by using half the mower.
It's okay.
Too fast! Not giving your cutter time to work!
Thank you for your insight. Tony
Leave it for the quail.
The owner wanted it cut.
Driving way too fast, give the big dog time to eat
I know what you were trying to say, but spell check got you. 😇😇😇
