Brilliant . I’m on the cusp of buying and Outback over in Ireland. And I think being an old guy of 64 now. That the pivoting deck and hydrostatic and traction control is what I’ll go for. Thanks for that brilliant demonstration.
Great video. I have the Billy Goat bc2600hm with the fixed deck that I use to clear and maintain my property here in Oklahoma. It's one of my best investments yet. The job It's done has increased my property value far more than than what I ever paid for it.
In Australia I can hire this machine for $125, pick up Saturday at 4 pm return Monday before 9 am. I go through a few tanks and get about 10 hours of use. It’s a beast and a bargain. Here they retail for about $4500.
Good video looks like a good machine.i don't know why people have to put garbage music when showing a great piece of equipment like this. It is much better to see and here the machine operating!!!
D.R. field and brush mowers are another American company that produce these machines. If the area is large enough these beasts put ordinary hand held brush cutters out to grass, if you'll pardon the pun.
Have new one 1yr. Reverse not work. Seems fulcrum plate not installed correctly so snails pace backward and slack cable. No means to adjust height so not tight cut
This would come handy for the Italian that has bought a house on a 2.400m² property here in the village. He lets the grass and the weeds grow over his knees and then calls around who will come to save him (of course, for little money). The only problem is that I doubt he would manage to operate such a bulky machine; he’s only forty, but he’s more versed in dressing white shirts (unbuttoned down his chest), tight showy pants and wearing sunglasses even when it’s dark outside, while ventilating his arms and proclaiming he belongs to a lineage of Roman Princes. It seems that even dumps have Princes to rule, in Rome.
It depends on how fast you go and the material you are cutting. It sometimes takes a couple of passes it mulch some material. But for a simple single blade design, it does a fantastic job.
@@TheFullyChargedGardener Ok great thx for that. I wonder then If you have heard of or come across 'Kavli Blades'? Because I think these could be a perfect marriage made for a machine like this. The blades basically have a turned down end to help slice material that has already laid down, check out John Kavli - youtube
Great review. One criticism: in the last part of the video, going over the details-- many of which were on he far side away from the camera-- makes no sense. Next time, move the camera man or turn the machine around! Same could be said for the controls: turn the handlebars towards the camera! Thank you.
i'm looking into buying one of these which is how i ended up watching your video , just wondering how tall you are as my wife ( 5 ft 6 )and would want to use it as well on our small farm and would be a deal breaker if she couldn't handle it thanks looks a great machine.
I have a small John Deere 2025R and was considering getting a brush hog to run off the PTO for it, however this looks so much better for getting into tight spaces than backing a compact tractor. What would be your choice for a 4 acre property? Tractor mounted brush hog or one of these? Also are these Australian made being an 'outback'? Love your work Andy cheers from down under.
Hi, I guess it all depends if you don’t mind walking. As you say, this machine will definitely be more agile, so will get into those awkward tight spaces. It has plenty of power. The Billy Goat machines are made in the USA. Thank you for watching and for the kind comment, much appreciated.
I use one in Australia, mine says made in the USA! It’s a beast and costs about $4500. It’s almost impossible to bog. It says it can do one acre per hour.
This machine actually handles stones pretty well. I have encountered quite a few - where we are is an area called the Cotswolds, the ground here is littered with stones. We actually call the soil here Cotswold brash, because it has that much stone in it. Thank you for watching.
This machine smashes house bricks . I had one and they are built very tough. Can chop 6 inch branches with ease. The blade never needed sharpening . You have to hang onto them when using them
These small types of machines have been game changers for the trade and they are getting cheaper also due to lots of competition. Great review.
Amazing how much ground you can cover in an hour with one of these. Awesome bit of kit. 😀

😀 Awesome. Thank you for watching 👍
Best video I've seen using a pushable brush hog cutting some serious weed's.
😀 Thank you. I had great fun making the video.
Great information mate. I’ve been trying to decide between wheels and skids, you’ve sold me on skids, thanks 👍
😀 Thank you for watching. Glad to hear the video was helpful
I have just rented this magnificent machine this weekend. It is amazing.
Thank you for watching
I just love that billy goat outback, so powerful, does great job
the face of concentration but inside your mind your screaming "hell yeah lets find more for this bad boy to eat" lol really enjoyed the video pal.
😀 I had so much fun filming this. Amazing just how much material I chopped through to make this video 😀
@@TheFullyChargedGardener I used to have a scythe mower which was good on thick stuff but that just looks like it's good all around
cuts as well as my flemming 6ft topper does what a beast of a mashine and great vid
😀 Thank you for watching
Excellent little slasher. From Australia
😀 Beaut bit of kit. Thank you for watching 👍
Superb review! Video really shows off the awesome power the machine can deal with.
😀 Thank you. It really is an awesome bit of kit!

Thanks for the impressive video. Plan on renting to give it a try.
😀 Cool - I am sure you will have lots of fun, it’s a beast.
Thank you for watching 👍
That thing is a beast! Great review and video mate👍🏼
It really is an awesome bit if kit. 😀 Thank you for watching
THIS IS A REALLY NICE VIDEO.....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....
😀 Thank you 👍
If you detach the top handle section and drill different holes you can adjust height.
Drill holes where. Top handle seems simply engage blade no adjustheight from ground. Strange no lever to set height
Love the videos Andy; keep it up!
😀 Thank you.
Look like you enjoyed that 😂👌.
Wow that's a hell of a machine 👍
😀 So much fun. Amazing just how much ground you can cover in an hour.
Certainly looks an impressive machine 👍
It is a very impressive bit of kit - great fun to use 😀
Good video looks like a good machine.i don't know why people have to put garbage music when showing a great piece of equipment like this. It is much better to see and here the machine operating!!!
Thank you for watching 👍
Great peice of kit thank for showing it👍
😀 Thank you for watching
Awesome bit of kit 👍
😀 it really is. It would be perfect for the rough stuff at your place. I could potentially pop over with it, if you like?
@@TheFullyChargedGardener I don't think we have anything as tough as what you put that through. You were taking out small trees
As a dutch saying goes: Good tools are half the work.
😀 Absolutely. Thank you very much for watching.
D.R. field and brush mowers are another American company that produce these machines. If the area is large enough these beasts put ordinary hand held brush cutters out to grass, if you'll pardon the pun.
😀 It really is amazing just how efficient it is. Can cover a lot of ground very quickly.

I own one and I love it........................

🤣
Strong mower machine.
Quite impressive, how well does it chop up the tall stuff that lays down?
Like does it leave behind many long strands on the horizontal?

What about black berries
will this fit under the lowest rail of a split post fence?
That is a very good question. Unfortunately I do not have the answer. Thank you for watching 👍

HOW TO ADJUST THE BLADE LEVEL
Spacers under the blade

I am only 5’ 9” so I am sure she would easily be able to handle the machine.
Thank you for watching

where did you hire this please. I am near Colchester
Hi, This was a demo machine, not a hire unit.
Thank you for watching 👍
Kalergi-Plan?
Yes please
😀
Not a very good machine if you Meet a stone while you're mowing
