    One thing consistent about owning property is that it needs mowing...and we have a long growing season in Florida! Another thing we have a lot of is THICK BRUSH. Check out this video on how we tackle that: th-cam.com/video/2LtKLLMwSRE/w-d-xo.html

    Lady here: I cant thank you enough for this!! I was in tears, literally, in the field crying needing guidance. I am doing this for the first time, (and by myself) in a very remote place. I looked everywhere for help and this is the most thorough yet simple video. I saved it so I can go back for reference!

      @@PineyGroveHomestead yes!! Him and I spoke last year via phone. Super great guy. I had recently got my tractor T264 and with 20 hours on it it wouldn’t turn on. I thought it was the starter switch.was down 8 months!!! With 35 sensors it’s a nightmare. No reason a new tractor won’t start. I ended up having to bypass with a hardwire from starter to battery. I’m 8 hours to a repair shop! I’ve not had an issue with it cranking since. Tiny, He’s very knowledgeable and super busy now since his business has blow up so big.

    You're right, mowing the pasture is one of the most satisfying farm tasks. Thanks for posting your videos, I really enjoy them.

    I have been heavy mowing on the Lake Wales Ridge area for 34 years. Also been watching a dozen or more tractor mowing/ bush hog videos on TH-cam. This man knows what he's doing, especially by splitting up rows to keep moving. The equipment is set-up correctly with the best technique for a clean crisp cut. Last but not least of all; unlike almost all the other video producers, he's not mowing with his loader unnecessarily attached to his tractor. After my first 6 months of learning I removed my loader when I mowed. People, it's a total waste to mow with a loader attached if you don't absolutely need it. 😂
    Happy Trails~

    Mowing pasture is so much fun! I can't wait to get out and mow mine again now that I got the mower hitch fixed! Thanks again for helping find out why mine wasn't lifting the rear wheel. It is so much easier to move the tractor around with the mower on now!

    @tractortalkwithgary1271 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    At the start of the video, I see that you shore your mower up for hooking it back up very similar to how I do it. That saves a drastic adjustment of the top link when using the quick hitch.

    • @PineyGroveHomestead
      @PineyGroveHomestead  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's easier to hook up when it's left level. Because there's nothing fun about hooking up 3pt hitch equipment! Thanks for watching, Gary. B&D

    I see a Rhino TS-10 in your future, only needs 25 PTO hp supposedly and would decrease your cutting time by 60 percent or so. Beautiful property by the way.

    Good setup tips and reminder to sharpen my blades since its been a full season. Quick question, why only half the ROPS on your tractor?

    • @PineyGroveHomestead
      @PineyGroveHomestead  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Besides Piney Grove and all the trees in the pastures, we also manage 1200 acres and it's all food plots surrounded by trees. The ROPS damages the branches/trees or prevents us from mowing close. I want it back on, but we have a lot of trimming to do first. Thanks for watching. B&D

    Gear ratio measuring 1:1.46 (TSC website) so something around 800 rpm at 540pto rpm.

    @user-nb8bl4lh6f หลายเดือนก่อน

    What setting do you have your bush hog on? 1-9? I put mine all the way down and i scare my pasture. Even if i don’t i scare my pasture. It’s hard to figure out what height to run it.

    • @PineyGroveHomestead
      @PineyGroveHomestead  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like to have the back riding the wheel and the front edges to be skimming about 1" off the ground. This takes adjusting of the tail wheel (usually several holes it can be in) and adjusting the top link. I try to set it up on level ground before I start cutting in a field.
