GRASS SO OVERGROWN I Couldn't Use A Regular LAWN MOWER

- This all started when I got a call from another lawn care company to see if I wanted to mow this overgrown lawn. Of course I said yes. Arriving sight unseen I was amazed at how tall the grass was and I knew this was a big job and any zero turn would have trouble with this. For that reason I went and rented a tractor with a brush hog to get this job done.

Man!! I really enjoyed this video. All I can say is Awesome! Awesome. I always enjoyed your content and can’t wait for your next video.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you warren. Appreciate your support 😊👍

Great video can't wait for next but Please invest in a drone for large cutting like this, you can probably get a more satisfying time-lapse from a birds eye view.
Good deal, pro-tip here, lower your FEL, front end loader to just above the mower cut height when mowing in an area thats unfamiliar, this helps to avoid hitting debris, like trees, metal posts and rocks laying below the high grass.
Xcellent advice!
I do that too when mowing the unfamiliar. Saves the equipment from being damaged.
Thanks for the tip ! Never thought of that lol
It was a rental so maybe he dont care lol
Another pro tip, raise your mower before you take it off the trailer. I cringed at a bent PTO shaft when you backed it off.
This brought back fond childhood memories. My dad Bush hogged to make extra money as we were growing up. Great job.
Thanks Dewey appreciate sharing your memories ☺️👍
I was only 8 years old, when I slashed my first paddock with a tractor and slasher..
My dad did the first round the fence line, and jumped off, I couldn't reach the pedals, just kept going and finished, till my dad came back and jumped back on.
Now I'm a grandmother who can't wait to tell my grandchildren, life growing up on a dairy farm...
This is what our 5 acres looked like when we bought it. So....me and my Poulan riding mower got to work and took it down. Had to start at setting 6, then 4 and then 2. Looked really nice afterwards.
So did that kinda mulch it some? In the vid there are some big pieces clumped and laying all over.
I'm stunned at how easily you mowed this even with the PTO, it's incredible after one pass how low and clean it was. Great video 📹
the question is would have the Ventrac done a better job?!
@@kirdot2011 ventracs suck. They push more stuff over pressing it flat than they cut. Then after a day or two the stuff it pushed over stands back up and it looks just like it did before cutting.
@@kirdot2011 a ventrac is basically a toy compared to a full size tractor
@@nicholastuttle2445 and JDx310 is a toy compared to a ventrac
@@kirdot2011 ventrac is still smaller than what he used in the video. I doubt it could cut nearly as fast as he did
Awesome job for an almost insurmountable task! Good job! To the landowner: Goats!
Sheep. Goats don't eat green grass.
@@cinder7183 sheep, goats, cows, they’ll all eat the grass. I know this bcuz my dad reared them.
Ik right he did 👍👍👍👍👍
This is the most relaxing thing to sit and watch after work myself.
Keep it up, everything you do looks amazing!
That was fun, Brian! I especially liked when you had the camera with you; felt like I was helping. Some times I was afraid you weren't going to come around the corner, that you had fallen into some deep abyss, lol. You did pretty good for never having driven this before; you drove it like your Hustler!
Here I am again 11 months later and I still get thrilled! Wow! So much fun. Thank you 🌹
Watching from Malaysia, appreciate honest and hardworking people
You were right in choosing the brush hog over the zero turns. If one of them broke while mowing they wouldn't have found you for days. lol Nice job, thank you, enjoyed.
Wow and super wow. Kudos to you for tackling such an immense lawn. Takes some patience and courage to get a tractor & brush hog, which handles so differently from a zero turn mower. But farmers typically use these on very large and bushy fields. It won't have the same quality of cut, but the power take-off efficiently transfers the 25+ hp from the engine vs drive belts to chop down the grass. Kubota is a good machine and these diesels are generally more economical than gasoline engines. Very well done and certainly a feather in your cap.
Smart move with the brush hog!! Dont even want to think of the wear and tear on the Hustler Mowers, much less of the damage to your equipment. I'm glad that we don't have alot of Johnson grass down here. Be safe and see you on the next video!!!
Thanks Robert always appreciate your support 👍😊
yeah thats why kubotas are the most toughest machines on the market and build solid like the kubota mowers
Wow! What a powerful machine! 😮
A pity the owner didn't rent this place out for grazing. Lots of yummy grass for animals to eat
Definitely look like a farmer. This was amazing. I hope you was paid according to the lot size and intense work needed. Great work!
A real farmer would have sprayed all that johnson grass not just mow it so it can take over. Tens of millions of dollars are spent every year by farmers to try to eradicate that invasive stuff. We farm a few thousand acres in Indiana and thank God we are able to control it. These guys are idiots.
You mentioned it was a friends property. Have them paint the tops of those posts ORANGE.
Like your call that you didn't have the right equipment for the job. The brush hog and tractor did well. Enjoyed the tipping trailer design. Those hidden fence line posts weren't funny.
Thanks Robert. Yeah they were almost trouble!!
Now they should let the farmers come in there with their machines and rake up all this grass and put it in the bales or just put it on the back of a truck for their animals that would serve a good purpose and help out the farmers
Even worse when you discover that the owner had removed the wire and laid it down on the ground!!!!
Whew ! Some tall grass. Need to get the contract of regular mowing to avoid this situation again. Good job Top Notch
Great job. Impressive.
New toys to play with. Driving a tractor sounds fun. 👍 Is that really a lawn? Seems like a pasture that needs some goats. 🤣
It was fun! More like a pasture probably 🐐
At three acres, it'd be just barely enough for two horses, or about six to eight goats. Rule of thumb for horses, one acre per horse, plus one.
Or sheep. They’re cuter than goats
@@SandrA-hr5zk - The problem with sheep is that if you don't sit there and move them around, they'll eat the grass to below the roots, and kill all the grass. That's the reason behind shepherds, and what also led (partly) to the Sheep Wars. In relatively arid areas, the sheep will turn everything to desert that will take years to recover. Even in well watered areas, grass takes a while to come back. Remember, sheep are descended from mountainous animals, with teeth designed to get as much of a plant that grows out of the rock as possible - leaving the roots still in the rock. In dirt, they have no such restrictions.
However, if you have someone to watch them, sheep can give you the most fantastic lawns.
@@tbelding goats are great for weed control they love poison ivy and will eat anything they can reach including leaves off low hanging branches reducing the threat of wild fires and they grind every seed they chew reducing the spread of weeds and invasive vegetation
Johnson grass is difficult to mow with anything, us a 12-foot bush hog and the tractor has to have power. Johnson grass used to be difficult to kill; now there are chemicals. The grass grows by seeds and rhizoids. Wind, birds, and animals easily spread the seeds, if you break a rhizoid, another chute will grow. It spreads in the field and surrounding areas and keeps growing. The grass if classified as an obnoxious and invasive grass. Equipment needs to be thoroughly washed down so the seed will not be carried to other areas. I have fought Johnson grass over a 100-acre field. I know what is like when you were mowing.
An excellent video and the time-lapse sections are fantastic.
Thank you Michael can’t imagine how much work that was! Appreciate 😊
“Classified as an obnoxious and invasive grass.”
😂 I feel ya, it’s obnoxious in my book too.
Great top tip about washing down your equipment afterwards. You're right about it being carried on to the next job..
Loving what you do! I swear this is so calming to my soul.
Its like a corn field. OMG. 😳
I liked the feeling that I was riding along. Enjoyed that view. 👌
Have never seen a field that tall. Tks for filming it for us to enjoy!
AWESOME!! Kick some butt. You need that equipment on some residential property. You go man!!
Thanks Dave 😊👍
You might consider getting acquainted with all the controls on the tractor, ie how to raise the three point before operating it.
That was insane. The hidden fence posts, crazy. I have to say, I was hoping you came back w the stand on mower after, or in another vid to clean it up 😬 I know I'm 🙄, can't stand clumps lol. Great job! Enjoyed it!
That was a wild ride. I bet you enjoyed the tractor and bush hog. Looked like fun.
So satisfying to watch how overgrown grasses trimmed nice and neat... Love watching your videos and you do it meticulously compared to others I had watched...
This field is the kind of place you let goats graze on for 3 months before you even attempt anything. Great job!
Just what I thought, I had a five acre plot and put cows in to graze they are great lawn mowers.
Johnson grass can be toxic in dry conditions. I doubt anyone would let their goats eat that crap.
Put some cows and sheep on it also. I had an uncle who raised sheep and he had big fields like this for them to graze on. They kept it very short like a golf course. Our cows would've loved grazing on this field, and seriously doubt we would have to worry about any of them finding a hole in the fence to escape and look for more food like ours did all the time.
Sheep or Cows for sure. Goats more like brush and brambles over grass. A few sheep would have that area looking like a park. If you want to clear backberries, brush, etc. Goats are the ticket for that.
🤣😂🤣
If you want to look like a farmer you will have to get yourself a pair of bib overalls! HAHA Excellent job by the way!
And a straw hat.
As a farmer i find that offensive, I wear a ball cap and regular jeans ...
You sweet man, you are a hero to mankind………thank God for your giving nature
Holy cow. That's a big job.have fun
You look like an old pro. Never would have guessed you had never done that before. Yes, you could be a farmer 🤣
😂🤣 thanks Lea
Oh the house is over there...
*Weeds taller than the house AND tractor*
😯🤣
I think for next time if you can attach the GoPro to a bar and affix it to the mower/tractor for something like this and then do a time lapse, that might be cool?
lol yeah it was something! Good idea
Last time I saw grass like that it had elephants in it great job fella went that extra mile, good luck in everything you do.❤️👍👍👍🇬🇧
I enjoyed the tractor ride. Thanks for taking everyone along.
Should used a Haybine or a Discbine, then baled it. I'm guessing you would have got at least 20 to 25 round bales, and double or triple that with small square bales.
You could use it for feed?
@@barbrn Exactly
I was wondering why the owner didn't bail that myself. What a waste of good grass.
For those that do not know, this machine is properly called a "rotary cutter" not " brush hog". If it were red, it could be a " BUSH HOG" brand rotary cutter, no " R " in it. Bush hog was the first manufacturer of this type machine, so just like Skilsaw, Cresent wrench, etc. , most people call all rotary cutters " bush hog ". When I used to sell them, bush hog company said they would cut anything the tractor can push over.
Yep, ya did look like a farmer! He really should have called a farmer that could have used a sickle bar mower & made some hay. The hog did a good job regardless. 👍👍
Thanks Robert
You could, but it's risky to make hay out of grass that you haven't watched grow. There are some grasses that will make livestock sick, and they won't avoid them when dried in hay.
@@tbelding I was thinking about Johnson Grass being one that would make livestock sick.
@@kristinatidwell6563 No, in fact, it's a very good feedstock. We had rabbits that absolutely loved it, and cows will push fences over to reach it. It's a sorghum relative. (Sorghum Halepense). Milkweed is one that I was thinking about being toxic, but there are lots of others. Generally, when you have a hay field, you try to check it for the really nasty stuff.
Johnson grass is never used for hay. Makes the livestock sick.
Ur no chicken shit of a man. !!!! Awsome man. That's how they used to be in my day. I'm an elderly 73 year old lady. I can't do much anymore . Used to love doing all that. I don't have to anymore. Enjoyed ur video. Gbu. Stay healthy n strong. Great deeds. AWESOME YOUNG MAN. BLESSINGS FROM TEXAS. .
Excellent video. Very calming…watching this all day/night is a lot better than taking my pain meds and muscle relaxants. THANK you!
You could def be a farmer. I grew up on a tobacco farm. Spent many hours on a rig like that. We called it a bush hog.
lol that’s awesome. Thanks TC
Why were you bush hogging tobacco?
I really liked the view from the tractor. Pretty cool. How long did it take you to cut the whole thing?
I was getting worried! Never know when there might be a big hole or bog.
Cool bushhog!
That was crazy! That was awesome! 🇨🇦
There is just something so zen about this video. Thanks for posting it!
Yes you DID look like a farmer, 😆 What a massive undertaking!
That turned out great
Nice job
That would be a job well done by one who is beyond a novice! Nice patience and observation.
I spent many an hour in my youth on a Massey Harris pulling a 5 foot hog with a stump jumper. Good times!
Come on, admit it, you're training for "Survivor" 😂😂😂
lol 😂 maybe 🤔
👌🤣
OMG that looks like such fun!
I’m impressed by that little mower, it’s got no deck depth and to process that thick a grass is something. I get free fields like this to make hay in, though they are bigger but I roll to the field in a tractor, I typically use my Fendt 828 with a 26’ batwing. I love that you’re able to trailer that tractor of yours. I hate traveling on road in tractors…it takes so long to get places. Cool set up you have! I think if I was doing that job, I would have done the first pass with the mower 8” high and then lower on a second pass so the cuttings aren’t so thick.
Wow, that was incredible . You kicked butt on the grass. Amazing
Yup he did Big Time
I'm from the country and this looks more like a hay field instead of a yard. Good job
I'm impressed with how good it cuts.....
Awesome job 👍 as usual
Thanks for sharing.
Whoa, that was some seriously TALL grass! That tractor and mower worked well. I thought you were going to do a second pass with the zero turns, but well done. Three acres!
Where I live, If your grass gets this high, the city put a warning sign on your lawn, if it's not cut by the date on there, the city crew come out, cut it, and you're billed for it. You're an awesome person for doing that free.
WOW, that was fantastic. What a difference. I loved the camera work from the drivers eye view. The smell of cut grass must have been absolutely gorgeous. I just adore your hat, happy St. Patricks day from Dublin, Ireland 💚🤍🧡
Wow! Hug job. Nice work!
Wow. Good job. Love that you got a hat suitable to the occasion.
That’s the biggest job I have ever seen. Good on you for giving it a go.
OMG…that is some epic grass cutting there…great job. Glad I don’t have to go round after and clear up the clippings..lol..
I would be in hog heaven ( no pun intended) to cut this field. I used to have to do this regularly and found it calming and therapeutic. Good job!!
You should get a drone for some of these unbelievable shots.
Giter done!
I upgraded my rotary mower for a flail mower with hammers. Night and day difference. It will grind up anything 1 1/2" and smaller if it's green and much larger if it's rotted.
It really does a fantastic job of mulching the grass as well leaving far less clumps of grass
beautiful job....beautiful land!
Your comment about "do I look like a farmer?" make me laugh out loud!! I said the same thing when I used the neighbors tractor to do some grading work alongside the house. I've never used a tractor before, and it's brand new with 41hrs on it. I have become accustomed to it, and the neighbors want me to learn how to use it. The Kubota tractor sure is nice, the one you used is a bit bigger than what they have, but similar in function I am sure. I agree with prior comments, the tractor is definitely better and more efficient in straight long runs versus a lot of turns, and also the brush hog from what I saw was a tad bit too low. A lever on the right side of the seat if similar to operation adjusts the 3 point to raise and lower the attachments. After 10hrs of operation, I still get on it and have to think over the controls sometimes, LOL!! The hydraulics are very touchy, and you barely have to touch the joystick to make the bucket raise, lower, and dump; I can at times make the tractor dance from the quick motions, even when I want it to go slow!! I wouldn't mind having a hydraulic adjustment to slow it down at times.
Wow! That was crazy!
Amazing period.
Wow... It takes only few minutes to clear the grass... Amazing tool...
This is CRAZY! Crazy good video that is lol. I really, really enjoyed this one. I'm just glad you didn't hit a post or a big hole!
You must have x-ray eyes. Seriously, I know you were on the look out for obstacles. Great job. I've been watching your videos
for ages and subscribed long ago. If I could, I'd give you a ton of likes! Always look forward to your comments and explanations.
Thanks for making me smile after a tough day!
Best video of tall grass cutting
Hello TOP NOTCH 🙋🏽. This was a little while ago but I'm still going to watch because you have a Job to do. And I know that you're the best for the Job ✅. Yes you do look like a farmer ‼️🤣😆😅😂 LOL ‼️😆
Wow... Great job !!
You always do it awesome! awesome 👍 God bless you and your family 💗🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are brave. Well done. In most cases if you ask a nabour that has equipment to cut it for hay they will do it for free if you let them take the bails, might save you and your friend time in the future if you are in a pinch or have no time.
Good hey field. Great job👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
All I can say is WOW
Kinda funny how overgrown Johnson grass looks like stalks of corn lol. That mower does a great and satisfying job of mulching up grass.
When I was a teen my dad used to use a tractor with a mower and mow between the fencelines and when we grew grains. Every year he would mow over a bumblebee nest or a ground yellow jacket nest and had to hightail the tractor out of the field for a couple of days.
Man does that place look sweet !!!!
Absolutely satisfiying to see your video. Waw, what a huge mawing machine ❤️
Amazing job...!! Congrats...!!!
great video, looks like goat heaven. Also thanks for identifying some of the grass, as a northerner, we don't have all the plant diversity that you have in your area, so love knowing the plants.
Time to get a follow drone when you have places like this
outstanding job
I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically right away! Nice job! Great video!
Wow tall grass just a heads up know this is your first time on a tractor and using a bush mower but you cat drive it like a zero turn you need long turns lol have fun cause doing that lawn would be a blast 👍🤜
That was crazy with the bull dozer, but great job! 1 electric hedge clipper attached to a push mower modified of course with a custom mount. I would have loved to Tony Stark that problem. Lol
You are a professional and I enjoy your video. The other wannabes can learn from you how to cut the eyesores on neglected tall grass. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
In Australia we use slashers which are similar to a brush hog but no wheel on the back. Both ends are open with many short lengths of chain to slow down any objects firing out. I use a Kubota B3300 with a 5 foot slasher and reverse thru thick stuff if I know what is in there
This 1 is nutso. Good job!!!
Know that's brushhogging my favorite thing to do
Great job! 👍
I enjoy watching your video amazing
Wow wow!! I’m seeing this a year later and I’m wondering if it was maintained. I could see you cleaning up the area around the house itself. That was incredible to watch - out here we’ve got brush fires and can’t water. All that green is wonderful when managed.
