Our Story:
We are six years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is
to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living
has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our
journey!

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!
You got this!! We have lots of brush hogging videos in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW.html
Here is a good tool for attaching 3 point equipment: th-cam.com/video/ij8X5eTBtpk/w-d-xo.html
@@PineyGroveHomestead 💪🏼🤗 Thank you, thank you. 🙏🏼 I just finished and think it’ll be fairly level. I’ll take done videos and pics.
I literally have tears rolling down my face right now.
Unless you’ve been helpless on the desert. Literally, people just don’t know!! So grateful!!
@@Suthn_Girl Awesome. I see you also watch my friend Tony (Tony's Tractor Adventures)
@@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.
Do you listen to his live podcasts on Tuesday’s?
Thank you for your help with this! Was able to get my brush hog attached, and even sharpened the blades!!
I’ve gotten 9 acres out of 40 done. ✅
Glad we could help! 40 acres is a lot to mow!
You're right, mowing the pasture is one of the most satisfying farm tasks. Thanks for posting your videos, I really enjoy them.
It can be relaxing! Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
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~
We mow a lot! Thanks for watching.
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!
It can be some good diesel therapy....but it grows back so quickly! Glad we could figure it out Justin. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
Tons of great information here! People are gonna start calling you Brush Hog Brad…. Great video, Guys!
Thanks Lucas. We feel like we do a lot of it!
I apricate how you went over your prep on the bush hog can't wait to get back to mine. Our property is in Fort White area. Thank you again
Prepping it in the shade means less adjustments in the hot sun! Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
Did you conduct training in the military or ever taught? You are an excellent teacher, great communicator! Love the content and video!
I just say what comes to mind so people don't have to just watch a tractor go back and forth during the whole video! Thanks for the support.
You're a good instructor, nice video
Thanks for kind words. I've been doing this for so long that it's second nature but trying to help those newer tractor owners out there. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
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.
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
Good stuff guys!
Open cab tractor work in the Florida heat....fun stuff, right? Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
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.
That or a Ventrac, or a Kubota zero-turn...or a herd of cattle! Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
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?
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.
Thanks for watching.
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.
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.
Sure would love to see some cows eating that 👍
I'm right there with you! And it would cut down on the mowing. We really have to find a reliable hay cutter for next year. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
