- Sharpen the blades on a brush cutter for a finish mowed look! Mowing the pond dam. Join me today for another episode of fresh air, freedom and the bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator paired with a Construction attachments 42" brush cutter (heavy duty). Drone footage, sunshine, fresh air, machines at work, bush hogging, brush cutting, some sketchy work and more. Today we sharpened the blades of the 42" mini excavator brush cutter for a more finish mowing look on our Southern Illinois pond dam. First I tackled the overgrown pond dam segments and got the blade a little dull with all of the trees that I processed with it on the old pond dam.

I can see you using that brush cutter a lot, pond, driveway, and trails. Money well spent!
Way better than a weed eater. You didn’t get covered in grass and stayed cool and comfortable lol
Oh man no doubt! This is the biggest and baddest weed eater I've ever seen!!
Hi Mr kapper awesome job it looks great
Now Mrs kapper can catch them big bass and beat you haha 😄
Yep no doubt, she will undoubtedly show me up again!
Remember when you built that retaining wall. Was there not going to be a bridge there?
Yes for sure, I had big plans on that bridge over the boat channel!! Other higher priorities just got in the way! Wish I had another Kapper Hand around to double my productivity! Thanks
Looks great 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
The brush cutter does a very good job! Sure beats using the weed whacker!
Oh yes no doubt! What a mega weed whacker!
BE SURE you have someone with a camera when you swim out to get those trees in the pond!! No one wants to miss THAT!!
lmao I guess I'll have to consider that one!
Looks good, an off set flail mower would work nicely. But would be limited compared to what else that will do.
Yep I think I finally have the right tool for the job! Thanks
👍👍
You just opened that pond up for Mrs K to have the bragging rights on who catches the biggest 🐟🐟😂😂
Yep she seems to be in the lead!!
Thanks for the video! Would the Kioti tractor and bushwacker help you cut it somewhat quicker or is the dam too steep for the tractor?
yeah that inside dam is only 3 to 1 slope, plus it is eroded from many rains when it was filling up so I don't want to try any machine on it. Even the back of the dam at 4 to 1 is sketchy. I took the tractor and bush hog on it a few weeks ago and did not want to mow the bottom half, this this unit will get double duty! Thanks
Hey buddy, what is the deal on the dam grass. It used to be green and received regular mowing. Now it looks like it has the mange?
yeah life just get's in the way of "living!"
You mowed over David Copperfield Kapper , puff of smoke and he was gone 😲🍻
Dang man.. I was wondering who that naked guy was that magically appeared after that puff on the other side of the pond dam!! At least he should wear some shorts or something when he does them magic tricks!!
How many feet around bank and how long did it take you? Debating on mulcher vs brush cutter for kubota 040. I would feel safer with this on banks because much lighter and less likely to tip. Any information appreciated. Pretty work!
That half of the pond is about 1.5 acres. I had to cut about 5 feet of brush around most of it. Probably took maybe 20 to 25 mins my best guess, its been awhile. I love this cutter. Kind of a tough comparison on a mulcher vs cutter. I can process stuff with this, but not really as good as a mulcher. but the mulcher can't really 'mow' grass and weeds like this one can, thus I went with this cutter and not a mulcher. Best of luck, thanks!
Hi Bud, I was thinking it would be faster to set the mower on the top of the grass and drive around the pond and turn around then cut further down ... and just drive back and forth without mowing the mower head so much.
It's just too uneven and eroded to do that well. Plus as the machine is moving it robs hydraulic power from the mower head, so you can't track very far forward before you lose mower power. I did try it! Thanks man
Quick question: After using your CA brush cutter, would you recommend it or would you buy a different model? I’ve got a Kubota KX040-4 and currently using an Eterra flail mower to cut the banks and dams around my pond. The brush cutter seems a better choice. Any recommendations?
Personally I don't like flail mowers. Had one once and IMO it was almost useless compared to a rotary cutter if the material was wet at all, too thick, or heavy thick weeds. I chose this one because it can cut up to 6" material. So far it has done very well for me, and I did compare many models before I bought it. Good luck thanks
@@kapperoutdoors I totally agree with you. I have an Eterra flail mower and have used it for several years, but I’m ready to bite the bullet and get a rotary cutter. Thanks for the info. My head was swimming looking at all the various rotary cutters out there.
6OBTW, how is Iron Mike doing these days? Miss him
Just messaged him a couple days ago. I guess he is half the size now! He said he lost like close to 100 lbs! Been working the land and side gigs so he has been staying busy. I have to swing by there someday to check in on him! But he said he is doing well!
That attachment is going to pay you back ten-fold Kap. Pond dam looks awesome?
Oh yes, no doubt! I wish every machine investment could pay us back like this one!
Lake is looking a little low, isn't it?
not really. In summer it is common to drop quite a bit. But it is higher than previous summer years. Lots of new weeds now too!
If you do that in Florida, you get eaten by a gator.
lol I'm pretty sure this thing would do a number on a gator's leather!!
Man come to golf course for 2 days charged 2000 dallor's for what he did.
maybe you need me to come there!
@@kapperoutdoors the way fuel ⛽ is it would cost that for you to get here. But would love for you to come out . Hell I'd like to come ride with you one day.
