SHOULD YOU BUY A BOX BLADE FIRST? th-cam.com/video/eXmsK2Otpvo/w-d-xo.html
I thought the rule of thumb when bush hoggin was never look back and keep going till it sounds expensive! Lol
LOL. True! 😂
Roflmfao IKR!!!
Looking at my brushog it’s always expensive. Customers always forget to tell me objects in the field
@@robbiefrentz9427 I usually forget. We've got some big flagstone the pops up in a couple areas but the old tree stump are the killer here. Over winter the work there way up and catch them with the hog. That'll wake you up.
That’s what I was told lol
I"m new to your channel and been watching all your videos! They are great, very informative, well done and some good humor! I'm still researching for my first tractor! Branson is my leader so far. Your "pre inspection" service....we call it a "pre-trip" on our Package cars at Big Brown!!!! Thanks for your service!
Thanks for watching 👍
Comprehensive video on shredding, rotary cutting, bush hogging, mowing. Always a good feeling when you’re finished. Looks good.
Thanks buddy 👍
Ahh the satisfaction of a good brush hoggin video!! Thanks for taking us along Hank, take care buddy!
Thanks friend 👍
It is strangely satisfying.
Some good info Hank! Have a good weekend!
You too John. Been thinking about you last few days. After all the weather mess in your area
I’ve had my Kubota BX for five years now and this is a new implement for me in the last month. I’m only doing 3/4 of an acre but it was up 3 feet high and the mid mount mower just wouldn’t cut it anymore. Rotary cutters are awesome.
Yes sir👍👍
Clean the filter, blow aire out of the blower into the filter so it blows out and away from the filter, blowing the outside isn't cleaning anything. You just packing it deeper into the fibers.
Enjoyed this video Hank. Some good safety information. Great idea to use the grapple to detect hidden stumps. Yo got the field looking good my friend.
Thanks Terry. We have a lot more to do. I appreciate you watching
@Terry Magnum - I agree! Good reason to get a grapple (convincing my wife!) - to save money on possible damage to the brush hog. Of course a grapple won't work on my current tractor - so I'd better get a new tractor to use the new grapple. :)
That’s a lot of work. Great work with the Branson and Homestead implements. Hopefully you were nice and cool 😎
Yes sir.
Hi Hank, Bought my Branson Open Station partly due to your endorsement in your Videos. In the UK it came with mirrors already fitted! You're right - Mirrors are very useful when mowing.
Thanks Trevor. I appreciate the comment. Enjoy the tractor. Be safe👍
Probably my favorite thing to do with a tractor😊 Good work Hank! Looks good!
Thanks David. I appreciate you watching buddy👍
Where im at Hank, i wont ever have a use for one but thanks for the helpful tips my friend. Its greatly appreciated. All the info is very helpful for someone who doesnt know just like you said. Thanks for sharing the video my friend.
Thanks Alan👍
The radiator fan on the Branson’s are so strong. I ran an old Massy (50’s model) for years and the radiator never clogged. The oil bath filter was great. I’ve over heated my Branson once, right after it was delivered. No damaged, but it really needs a lot of cleaning for the radiator and air filter.
Right on👍
Brilliant work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Yes sir. Thanks buddy👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm No problem friend 👍
Another days work done with pride young man.. Thanks for the video - Ian - UK.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Indeed I did- reminded me of my bro Inlaws very small farm he bought with 1200 apple trees in one corner that was so overgrown, I went and used his small "vineyard" sized Massey Fergusson tractor with its rear twin rotor skid cutting attachment, had young trees, blackberry bushes all sorts growing, so i had to back in, drop the twin cutters come out, then repeat till i could drive through.. Was some years ago now, about 40 or so - lol.. Was a tough little tractor though, old fashioned but worked well.. Have a great day my friend.
You put that Tractor to work, looking good Hank!!👍🍒
Thanks Larry 👍
I just watched this again. I had forgotten how rough, and wild all of that area was, back in the day. I just watched you taking out what seems to be the last few of the stumps with the 310, after kissing the whole field with the land plane. By comparison now it looks like a golf course. I love the WIS content, but I also miss some of the clean-up you were doing back in the day with the Mahindra and Brutus. Yeah, Buddy!
Good info!
Thanks
Love your videos Brother! I bought a 2020 TYM 574 hst cab tractor this year and love it! It too has a Kukje 55 hp engine. We have an 11 acre horse farm in Illinois and mow all of it. My rough cut mower is a 10’ Batwing. You’re giving great advice. My advice to you is to get a steering wheel spinner. It makes a world of difference when “bush hogging”. God Bless!
Lol. I got one, but my steering wheel has a funky shape to it and the one I bought doesn't hold well on it. ..... frustrating because I love them!
Hamiltonville Farm the spinner I picked up wouldn’t fit the outer ring of the steering wheel. I had to use one of the 3 spokes. Works fine there.
I used mine first time yesterday i used the slower pot setting kept my front bucket down as a filler it went over black berries poison oak small bushes and trees under three inches around running my bucket about 4 and 5 inches off the ground if it was strong enough to stop my tractor i would back up and go around . i was really impressed
Check out my tractor channel here: youtube.com/@hhamilton1970
I would never blow where your filter goes when you have it out
Another great video. Thanks! You have a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Thanks for posting these tips! always enjoy watching your videos and learn allot! PS. Your a funny guy!!
Thanks Bob. We appreciate you watching 👍
my problem with rear mounted brush cutters is they are rear mounted. having used a front mounted brush cutter i can tell you it cuts the work in half, and it is safer.
I'VE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOUR VIDEOS... PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE... YOU AN TONY ARE THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE... NO S*** WITHOUT YOU GUYS I WOULD BE BLIND... KNOWHERE... I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE WHOLE COMPLIMENT, TONY BRANDELL, TOMMY AN THE REST FOR ALL I'VE LEARNED I OWE YOU SO MUCH THANX FOR EVERYTHING HANK REALLY... NO JOKE! PEACE...
Yes sir
Good tips as always. 👍
Thanks buddy👍
That's one thing I don't miss.. That job was so hot and dusty out here in Oklahoma, and you are right about being rough on the neck.
Yeah, it depends. Sometimes I feel like I could cut all day and sometimes I'm good after an hour. The cab makes it nicer for sure
@@HamiltonvilleFarm With out a doubt I had a John Deere without a closed cab.
Be sure to clean the cab air filter too when bush hoggin. It plugs quickly. (Posted prior to you mentioning it).
Thanks for watching 👍
Great job!
You just blew dirt on your inner filter and the outer filter you should blow from inside out with low pressure
How's it going Hank how goes the be homestead and family hope all is well and great vid bud as usual .godbless
All good brother!
Good video Hank!
Thank you kind sir.
Running older gear tractors, you try avoid backing if all possible because you'd have to let Bush hog completely stop before shifting to reverse. I do have one of three tractors that's new enough to have 2 stage clutch(live pto). Love them old Tractors
A forest mulcher will clear cut to the ground and remove all the stumps then you can keep it mowed with the tractor.
Keep at it buddy . You need too get that cleared out for the drag line too get down too the swamp area for that new bass pond . 😁 Good stuff 👍👍
😂😂
Bush Hogg in' is fun!! Amen!! That's my place to pray.🙏🏻
Have you ever thought about adding a back up camera. I plan on adding a backup camera and a bucket camera soon using the $60 harbor freight Is security camera system.
I’ve seen it done, but I don’t think I need one, but it’s a good option for some folks 👍
Good one Hank. I find every stump every time I put a huge dent in my stump jumper first time out hahaha good to see you're getting comfortable running that rig getting some dirt on the tires👍 rabbits aren't worth a darn stringy swamp rabbits full of worms this time of year
Thanks for watching Mike👍
On the stumps did you ever pack them in charcoal and cover them with an old metal cattle tank or barrel and burn them off. Works.
Heyhey Hank you need a steering wheel spinner knob on that thing. Nice job
LOL. Sure do
In Australia we call it "slashing" and use the slasher for weed control....but "brush hogging" is a good name!! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks Ross. Cheers
Hey, Maybe Brandell could help with the Woodland Mills SG24 stump grinder. I haven't seen any new stuff from him.
Yeah he needs to come out for sure with it
Oh to have a cab for rotary cutting and snow blowing.
Good advice
Thanks for watching 👍
Good information
Thanks for watching!
I’m always pleased to see a video from you keep up the good work sir by the way when are you guys going to put a video of olive oil the little Oliver tractor I love those old tractors I have my grandfathers 1952 8N
I think Wednesday is the next one. I filmed another one today that wi be out in a couple weeks. We are slowly but surely getting her back in running shape👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm awesome
Great video brother god bless
Thanks 👍
Good mower! Cab is worth weight in gold on brush cutting. Fun to watch. Thank you. Keep cuttin!
very cool video buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks buddy 👍
Hamiltonville Farm you are welcome buddy 😀
I've got over sixty years in the seat and own open station and cab tractors with cutters from 4' to 10.5', three point and pull type and can't beat the advice given. Once learned to do it correctly a person my choose to color outside the lines, so to speak, but you have to be ready to accept the consequences.
That’s right
Hi Hank. Great vid. Have you ever adjusted the hydraulic valve?
No I haven't
Hank if you lived up north would you buy a show blower for the back of your tractor quote for the back???
I'd definitely buy one if I lived up north.
Hank, where are all the grease fittings on the Branson?
Look for all the places the "pivot" ..clutch, diff lock, etc. Then once you find them, put a colored zip tie on or near it so you can find them more easily next time👍
That bushhog did the job, definitley requires a slip clutch but they don t cost that much.. Up here on Georgian Bay about $100..00. Thanks , nice machine.
Thanks for watching Don👍
39 years ago i blew the gearbox input shaft off of a wessex scrubmaster at full speed even with a slip clutch. The resulting 5' dervish of a pto shaft still haunts me!
I hear ya!
Have you covered what vehicle to buy before buying a farm, ie truck, flatbed truck, options? Thank you
Not yet!
Also need to cover how to have half a million dollars in your bank account.
The stiff neck comment is so true! I was out there today and my neck is killing me! 😎
I hear ya
My Mahindra has a cab, it can be a curse and a blessing at different times. Gotta watch those limbs for sure.
I agree. Thanks 👍
That cab also keeps all them dang hitchhikers from them white flower plants off of ya and briars, unfortunately I don’t own one and have the scratches to prove it after mowing through 8 foot tall patch of about 3 acre of pure briars and hitchhikers not good times.
Thanks for watching!
Does your grass/brush grow year around or does it go dormant from the frost in the winter time? I didn't know if you guys even got frost to speak of that would impact the growing.
I know once the fields are harvested then we start doing the old mowing around the edges of the fields and working on pushing the new growth back.
It goes semi dormant. You could probably stand to cut it in Jan. Then start back up late March/early April
I envy you having a cab tractor lol. Love to find one in the future. Which type of bush hog do you prefer the lift type like you have or a pull type. I have a 5ft pull type. Trying to find the lift type if possible.
I've never used a pull type. I live my homestead implements bush hog👍
I too have a pull type, 4ft. It looks 50 years old. Payed $50 for it. All it needed was a new PTO shaft, so I got one with a slip clutch. :)
Good job 👍 God bless
Thanks Ralph 👍
Nice!!! Where are the deer feeders?
They'll go up soon. 👍
What is the craziest thing anybody found brushoging. I was mowing a field that was overgrown by 10 years. I found a horse couldn’t see the poor guy till i was next to him i pissed myself
I saw a video, a guy drilled holes in a stump, one in the center, couple around the sides, they all met in the middle, little kerosene and it burnt really good ...
Yeah we've done that before 👍
never blow the filter outside to in. shove the blower into the hole in the end of the filter and blow in reverse the direction of its normal flow. your engine will thank you.
Blow into the filter with the leaf blower and it'll blow all the dust and junk off the outside.
I never brush hogged with a tractor that had a cab! What a luxury! 👍 Yeah, 2" trees are a piece of cake. 😊
You got that right! it will spoil you. lol
And the hornets can’t get to you
I want a cab tractor so bad. When my truck is paid off i might get one. So tired of eating dirt and hot temperatures
A lot of mower/bush hog. They sure make a lot of dust and debris. You were so right about using it as a brush cutter and not a lawn mower. LoL. Good job Hank. Your tractor and cab was made for this kinda work.
Thanks Dean👍 I appreciate it
The slipclutch helps stop too
Yes sir 👍
You're confusing the slip clutch with the over ride clutch used on tractors that don't have live power 2 totally different features.
Do you need to lift the cutter when you turn the tractor to make a circle like going around trees
No sir
When do you uses a forestry muncher over a brush hug. And why you pick one over the other. But a forestry muncher don't look like much stops it
I'd love to have a mulcher. That would be awesome
With your bucket or grapple down, will it bounce up on a stumps or rocks or does it try to lift front of tractor?
Have you ever disconnected your toplink and ran without it? Helps me out since we have pretty hilly land. Keeps you from digging in with the mower.
I haven't. But I've heard of people who have. Thanks for watching 👍
Try hooking up a chain, but remember you can slide easier over a back without the draft working.
If it’s the first time use in the spring spin the clutch on the bush hog. It may save your 🚜.
Yeah good technique 👍
Morning dew is your friend!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
How long does it take to cut 1 acre of this type of land and that size cutter?
Depends on what type of acre it is. Flat, no obstacles will go faster than stumps, trees, hills, etc
A couple weeks ago my neighbor was bushhogging his lease pasture. He had the bucket down on the loader to try and detect any stumps. He had the bucket tilted back and apparently it was tilted at just the right angle to allow the bucket to just "jump" over the stump. He ended up with the tractor on the stump and it broke the housing for the hudraulic fitler and the filter and the two lines that come from the filter housing. Yeah I would guess the cost of his bushogging to be near $1000.I said a "thank you" prayer since that's never happend to me.
My goodness!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm that's not exactly what he said but it is the same sentiment lol
Hey Hank and,Gina what's up? How is the Hamiltons doing this good morning? Me I'm doing good I was, wondering how come Hank didn't consider on being a,Trucker with his wife Gina you would have been Awsome as a, owner and operator as Husband and wife team keep up the Awsome work Hank and,Gina
I drove for 5 years in my younger days.
Hank!! Used your code over at homestead and got a box blade!! Saved $40 and the free shipping is awesome as well!!
Thanks!
Thanks Aaron. You're gonna love it.
YOUNG MAN ,
U ARE BOWING ALL THE DUST BACK INTO THE ENGINE
How often do you have to Grease the Loader on the Tractor 🚜 and the Tractor it self and the Shaft on the Mower is it by the hour or when ever you want to do it?
Loader is every 10 hours of operation, tractor is every 50 hours. However,I grease my loader pretty much every time I get on my tractor.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm How often do you Grease the Shaft that Runs the Mower and the wheel as well Thank you
Oh sorry, I should've answered that part too. I am the type guy that greases the PTO shaft and tail wheel every time I use it. But I'm not sure what the book says. Probably 8-10 hours as well.
Now that's the American dream! People's dream!
Be a good time to burn those stumps out with a long auger bit and some diesel fuel.
Yes sir👍
Hey Hank. Howboutchya. Anywho. Last time I used a bush hog was in Eastern Wa. I ran into a nest of rattle snakes. It was gross. Guts all over the bush hog. and a couple of rabbits. Don't know why the little rabbits don't run but I got em. But your right. Its fun.
Wow!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I still did not get out of the tractor till I was over to the barn. I don't like snakes. Love you will it start videos. Remember to always carry a crescent wrench. Lol.
I am very glad that your in a cab as bee's can get big ol' ground nests and if you was to stir one of those up, you would definitely want cover for sure. I have seen fire ants down in lower arkansas and they are a nasty thing to share the planet with. I'm curious as to if they rent/self the machine that goes on the front of a skid steer. Those take down trees or just about any thing shoved their way. I know they lose teeth on rocks but for the most part, its just keep a going and it is amazing what we can do now that as a kid sixty years ago, it was brush hooks, scythes' an other man killers. If it didn't cost so much to live there, I would live my last few there as I am skilled in many things and could help young people get their places started right an water an stuff needed to live off the land.
Thanks Morgan 👍
What noise decimals are inside the cab Hank?
I'm not sure. I'll have to use an app to see. It's not loud. I wear those bluetooth headphones because I'm a sound quality diva and the speakers in the cab dont sound full. I like to hear the bass line in a song😊👍
Mine runs about 85 on a 37 hp tym just wandering if bigger hp means bigger noise. Lol 😆
I'll find out and out it in a community post or something. That's a good question.
Love vid
Thanks for watching!
Hamiltonville Farm i hope you guys have a great week and stay safe
Thanks buddy 👍
Ok guys I just have to say this "technically" your not supposed to "blow out" modern air filters the use of compressed air can cause small holes in the filters causing larger particles of dust and debris to inter the intake!!! This old way of cleaning out the filters was ment for old style paper filters that didn't filter the microns of air we do today ... In modern diesel tractors they have dual layer air filters for a reason if you "blow out" them filters you might as well not run any filter at all ... Not saying this to be mean or anything but the cost of modern-day diesel engines and gas engines are not worth saving a few pennies
Thanks Mike. I appreciate the comment
I've heard that as well. Maybe instead can use a vaccumm with a soft brush on the end?
@@jamesmaddox1450 My Kubota L2800 manual says to blow it out with maximum 30 lbs pressure from the inside out.
you don't know shit bud! We blow out the air filters on our $200,000 tractors. Most farmers around here do, its never caused an issue. You just have to know what your doing
@@grassgobbler7214 yeah ok it's your equipment and your problem when something goes wrong so do as you please and have great day 😁
Like what you doing
I hate click bait.
If you dont want the bush hog throwing rocks and other debris forward weld a piece of expanded metal across the front of it.
Thanks for watching
Also I don't see your subscribe button.
Strain on my neck = time for a rear camera and in cab monitor! 👍🙂
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
you need to get a skid steer
What you ought to do is get Cat out and fix that 6, get a root rake and put Tommy on it and you'll never have to worry again. Especially after he runs the grader over it. GBWYou!
yes sir!!! I should!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Of course that's just a mild suggestion!
Why not just remove the stumps once and for all to make brush hogging less stressful?
Have you been following our dozer series?
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I'm new to your channel so I haven't seen it yet.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I will check it out. Thanks!
with a cab you don't get to enjoy the yellow jacket nipping at you. lol not my favorite part. I mow about 65 acurs twice a year. 8 ft hog.
Lol. Hate Im missing that😂👍
Not that hard on the neck when your tractor has a swivel seat!!!
Right on👍
