2 memorable mowing experiences for me were 1) mowing with my Massey 283 2 WD and open station pulling an 8' TRI heavy duty rotary cutter mowing 14 acres for a neighbor. This acreage hadn't been mown for a couple of years and the weeds were higher than my head with me standing on the tractor platform. I was just about through when I found 3 metal fence T posts that were piled up. OUCH. 2) mowing with the same rig and this time about 1/2 mile from my truck and trailer when I blew a seal in the power steering cylinder and lost all my steering. I was able to very slowly get back down the farm road and to my trailer. Fortunately I didn't burn the pump up. Former Air Force pilot here too. Reese, Class 83-07
I'm right there with ya, Hank. Because whenever I listen to music. I have multiple ways. I can listen to music. But I always go around my house with my head set on listening to my favorite tunes and my favorite music. Will the headset on? Because I feel that's the better way to do it. When you want to listen to your tunes, just the right. It's always good to go around listening to over the headset on.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Sorry that your rear tire got cut up. Hard telling how that happened. Just keep an eye on it. Seems to be ok now. Your mower goes a good job. The area looks nice after running the mower over it. Thanks for everything. Take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Our friend - the forks are a good idea moving things around as you mow. If you get in a tight spot then drop the forks in the open and go to work then come back to the spot and get the forks back on. Turning is tough in trees.
Darn Hank, it looks like you should have that buddy of yours with the Woodland Mills stump grinder come back to your place and do away all of those stumps that you've got, so that you no longer have to worry about them when brush hogging! 🙂
Hank wouldn't it have been better to go in there with the bobcat and the chipper head and cut it all and take out the stumps? Then the next cut you could use the tractors and bushhog and not be worried about getting into a stump and shearing pins on that cutter.
Mahindra is another great contender catching on, we have been absolutely blown away by our little one we bought on advice from another TH-camr. It's an Indian brand, assembled here stateside but I believe they're made with a lot of S. Korean parts as well (not 100% sure of that) but man, they're every bit as good as TYM. Certainly more reliable than the last two Deere's we had.
Mahindra was among the first I considered, and in the models I was considering, I had discovered that they were a TYM chasis with a Mahindra engine. I am now the owner of a TYM with the Kukje engine.
Had that on my IH 354 when new. Mowing the edge of an old field, a torn up piece of car was buried, just a little up off the ground, enough to cut thru the 4 ply new tire, a 12 " concentric gash..I never had any problem with the tire, used it for spraying with the weight limit on the 3 point, for 15 years, looked nasty, the tube never broke thru . How it is on unknown ground.
I did something similar - sliced the side of my rear tire and Wack went flat. I was able to patch it to get it to the shop but I had to buy a pair of tires from JD and Now I have a spare. It was some metal building purlins that sliced it as I drove next to it to mow. Ouch !
I rented a Bobcat skid steer on tracks with a Diamond brush cutter for a week. Sure will spoil you. So much better visibility and maneuverability than the tractor. My old body doesn’t like twisting around to look behind. That combo is tough as nails and no shear bolts to break and no flat tractor tires mowing in thorny mesquite and locust trees.
I'm new to tractors and I've got about 20 acres that hasn't been mowed in over 2 years. I just bought the property a month ago and there is some junk hidden in the brush. Will it put too much stress on the mower or tractor if I raise the mower a foot or two off the ground (the tail wheel would be in the air) and do the first pass like that? It's a 50hp Kubota (M4800) and a 6' Rino mower.
In the middle of doing this same thing Tractor high tall stuff not much brush but don’t have a brush cutter Use my finish mower 😱 I roll with my forks also or a grapple whatever I have on at the moment But it gets the job done 👍
It drives me nuts to have to mow around things. I guess that's why the wife don't bother with flowers in the yard😂. What air pressure do you run in the rear tires and are they loaded?
I've got hay forks and I leave them on all the time when mowing can't count how many times I've gotten stuck and I drive them straight in the ground and roll the forks forward to push myself
Odd question for you. Do you think a buddy seat could be fashioned to fit in the cup holders on the left side of the tractor seat? Reason I'm asking is I'm buying a TYM 574 in September and I've got 8 grand kids who will be wanting to ride in the cab with me. They range from 6 months (too little to ride), to 11 years old. I was thinking I could fabricate a seat that had cup like protrusions on the bottom that fit into the cup holders and had a seat and back on it for the kids to sit on. Your thoughts? BTW, loved your phone = it's not 3:38, it's 1538. Like you I still use 24 hr time on my phone and in my car.
I think you could probably get away with fashioning a seat there if you braced it strong enough. My wife sits on the side sometimes when we have a short trip into the woods
i think viewers want camp in an rv or motor home for a few nights. might be an i deer to toy around with. you’d need to do sewer,water hook ups. hang out do like bbq’s. no nothings cheap but come up with a rental fee most rv’s today are fifty amps some older ones if their still around 30amps. or have a cabin to. but i’d put in an asphalt quarts mix path or an i deer to put in a rv fifth wheel. you rent it. running it just an ac filter change. run black water sewer to prevent odors. renters are required to clean up mop not be pigs. what i’d do if their coming pre roll out the awning get it cooled down turn the fridge on no grease down the sink in ours is a big no no. wash clean your own dishes food sodas that’s the renter rv toilet paper aqua stuff yea it takes to getting used to. or you can do a cabin that route to. most rv’s today 80,000$ plus budget wise
I had a bunch of elm. I cut them about 4 ft tall. My elder neighbor came by ask me why I didn't cut them at ground level.i told him the dirt would dull my chain faster and in a few years my tractor would push them out, he is gone now and every time I push one out I think of him it has been about 10 or 12 years .they are almost all gone.
I am not a farmer. How does this procedure help the farms bottom line? How does this increase your profits? That must be a dream machine of a tractor you are driving and looks like it might cost more money than a house.
If you brushhog once a year saplings do not grow into trees. If trees grow up big and thick in wet ground or other land that could be eventually lost or claimed by regulations its worth it. Goes with being a land owner.
@@jeffmilroy9345 Thank you. I had no idea about the government regulations; and did not give any thought to the sapling tree issue. I will remember that. I am 65 years old. Too old to become a farmer. I hope my son will be able to pursue this when he inherits my assets. I will relay what you said.
@@johnoler357 There are 5 government federal agencies that regulate wetland. If a person lets wetland plants/trees (or any weeds and trees) grow for 5 years or more the land is at a very real risk of being considered a wetland subject to regulation (essentially making it of no value). Wetland rule making is a favorite political football and the noose only grows tighter. Timber is the next target for regulation because of climate change carbon sequestration. My advice is to buy all tillable upland soil unless a parcel is already grandfathered/protected in a documented federal forestry or CRP program.
@@jeffmilroy9345 How do they think they are going to catch you? Are you not the lord of your own land. Those assholes are violating your constitutional rights in so many ways.
@@jeffmilroy9345 I wanted to add one more thought. Federal, State and local governments have set aside park lands for this purpose and should not be allowed to impose their will on private property owners for these reasons.

WOW!!! A fishes&loaves tee shirt! I know where that came from! Thanks, brother!!!!!
You bet!
Thanks for translating. I thought the loaves were feathers.
10,000 rpm’s for pto start……. 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥. Good video Hank 👍👍

Looks like you got it stumps are a pain but it would cost a arm a leg to gri nd em or pop em out wit excavator
Darn Hank, it looks like you should have that buddy of yours with the Woodland Mills stump grinder come back to your place and do away all of those stumps that you've got, so that you no longer have to worry about them when brush hogging! 🙂
For sure, but He moved to Tennessee 😞
10,000 rpm?? Yikes!👀👀
Have you priced out one of those tires, Hank? I dread the day I have to replace one on my 2515.
Maybe put your bucket on and lower it to use as a stump finder?
Then we’ll have you fix it
Hank wouldn't it have been better to go in there with the bobcat and the chipper head and cut it all and take out the stumps? Then the next cut you could use the tractors and bushhog and not be worried about getting into a stump and shearing pins on that cutter.
I’ve done a lot of them, but there’s a lot left to do. Lol
Bad idea wearing head phones. You can’t hear bearings and stuff going out. If you catch these thing quickly,you can minimize the damage.
When you're mowing the really thick stuff have you ever had your pto kick out of gear? I've been having that problem lately.
Good job and God bless y'all

Stumps are definitely one of the easiest ways to destroy a tractor and a Bushhogg

You definitely can do that. But walk it first and get the obvious stuff flagged or removed. 👍
ground bee this year have been my nightmare..
In the middle of doing this same thing
Tractor high tall stuff not much brush but don’t have a brush cutter

Right on!

They are loaded. And I hate driving around stuff too! Lol

You’re only showing us your tires we want to see what your cut I would like to see the machines at work. Thank you.
INVEST IN A PTO STUMP GRINDER AND CLEAN UP WHERE YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY IN FUTURE!! GREAT JOB....
I bet that rear tyre wont be cheap to replace.?
Seems it's normal for tym tractors to have overheating issues. Is this normal??

Weird that the T574 has PTO speed at 2600rpms when my T474 has PTO speed at 2400rpms. It's 9.6 more Hp than my N/A A2300N4 motor?
Maybe the gearing 🤷🏻♂️
Great shirt!!! 👍
Thanks!
Love the shirt. Yeah you got lucky on that tire.
Sure did! Thank you for watching

Sober up and try again . Don't just post random thoughts
if you had R14 tires you would be tits up in the field. the R4 have more beef on tread
Bust dem stumps
Hank, it's a lot less dirty watching you do it then when I do it. :)
The tire looks like that an implement you had on the tractor got into the tire to me.
I’m not sure… could be
Nothing worse than cutting a rear. It just really sucks. Done it more than once myself......
Looks like the tire may have happen when the excavator was stuck
Didn’t think about that. Lol may be
@@hhamilton1970 Good point as it looks like the tire spun on something which would make sense pulling out the excavator
You're getting that to look Beautiful.. I sure would not want to buy one of those tires.$$$$$
Me neither! Lol
Man that was close. Hope you find what you ran over.
Me too!
Awesome!
Thanks!
You sure you didn’t mean 1,000 rpm Hank?
Lol… hey man, send it!!!! 😂😂😂
I started leaving our trees about 4 feet high after cutting, so I know they are there, otherwise, I'd run them over. At some point I'll get them out.
Yeah I have a few more to get out, but in time👍
@@hhamilton1970 It takes time, no hurry, they aren't going anywhere that's for sure.
I had a bunch of elm. I cut them about 4 ft tall. My elder neighbor came by ask me why I didn't cut them at ground level.i told him the dirt would dull my chain faster and in a few years my tractor would push them out, he is gone now and every time I push one out I think of him it has been about 10 or 12 years .they are almost all gone.
Do you need a bush hog?
Next time you do that you can go faster .
I just wasted 25 minutes of my life. You could at least fake running up on a stump
I’m sorry would you like a tissue?
@@TXTractorLife lol.i guess I will be ok.thanks for Checking on me.
