As someone that has run mowers like this in large ag situations, from mowing ditches to shredding corn stalks, I would say your overlap was extremely minimal, and and it appears you did a great job.

@mkosmo 4 месяца назад

No kidding. A strip means you have to go run everything twice. Id rather mow 110% of the field with that kind of overlap than 200% as much by missing bits and having to do it twice.

Thanks Tim. I like the Rhino 10' flex wing the best out of all the mowers you demo. It cuts really nice and even though you had the deck angle off a bit you did a great job. Seems to me the overlaps are perfect. No misses and nice straight cut lines.

@Realdamage 4 месяца назад

That looks like the grass I mowed today with my JD S140. Since I just bought the JD this was the first cut this year. My old riding mower (Craftsman) although a tough mower just wasn't going to do the job. So, the new mower stands up, and as gently as I could, I took down the hay. The mower is still in break in period, so I did only a part of the lawn. The other two parts I did earlier. Nice to see I'm not the only one letting the bees have a buffet. GB

@jhofster4057 4 месяца назад

@farrenmason8166 4 месяца назад

@williamgaines9784 4 месяца назад

You can overlap as much as you want on your projects, which are probably billed by acreage. My only gripe about excessive overlap would be to somebody I am paying by the hour, but it would be only if a HUGE overlap(like greater than 30% of cut width). Overlap helps recut what may have been pushed down by the wheels, although a batwing probably helps stir up whatever the tractor laid down, so 10-20% would aid in keeping the turns neater.

If you would like to get rid of burdock with out spraying. You can push a shovel right along the base of the plant at least 6" an pull back on the shovel till you hear a pop that will kill it. You can then pull the plant out of the ground and put it were your going to mow and make fertilizer. Just make sure it has not gone to sed yet.

C'mon Tim, with multiple tractors in the fleet, checking the angle of the dangle is needed with each hitch up. End result looks good and the slower speed made the tractor ride just like a Cadillac! Definitely not a fan of poison ivy!

@robbiefarmer9243 4 месяца назад

You're doing a good job with the sizw and type of mower. Your overlap is cleaning up the tire track on the inside. A Woods HD990 3 pt mite be abetter fit for the tractor. The 990 is 3 spindles with 22 blades each takes less hp to run and leaves a finish like cut.

@crazyfarmer2564 4 месяца назад

Something to think about when mowing with the smaller tractor and the flex wing is, hills. If the weight of the mower is more then tractor it could take u for a ride. I run into that with my 5075e and an exact 1,000lbs of wheel weights pulling my 12 ft batwing. Level ground or mild hills would be fine but here in pa u would end up somewhere u don't want to be.

@anthonyroberts9034 4 месяца назад

Hey Tim, I know it's none of my business, but I'm a little curious about the business arrangement, when you showed up to #3 and were surprised that it was already mowed. I ask because I am in the process of starting up my retirement gig of doing brush hogging & field mowing, and would not be impressed if I showed up to a client property and it was already done. - Very impressed with that mower !

@TractorTimewithTim 4 месяца назад

This one is weird. It is right by someone’s house. They often mow it for free. No worries to me. I have talked to them, and am aware of the situations. In fact, I expected it to be mowed. …but was prepared to mow if needed.

@robertknight5024 4 месяца назад

I'd say my only criticism would be you should have looked at the angle of the mower before you started mowing. But who am I to criticize? You do great keep it up.

Right now, the 5075e is 3+ hours away at my family’s farm. It is taller, and would not work well trimming around those trees. Also, folks enjoy seeing the smaller tractors on this mower.

Do you know what makes that 10 ft bush hog capable on lower HP tractors? Just for my own curiosity, is it lower blade tip speed (more gearbox torque), etc? Just wondering what makes it different to allow for fewer HP to be used.

@TractorTimewithTim 4 месяца назад

3 spindles instead of a single spindle. It takes less go to spin a shorter blade.

@bradbruggeman6745 4 месяца назад

I looked and rest drove a MF 1840M and the Kubota Grand 3560 GST when I was shopping for a tractor. Both have a larger frame size than the 3046r. I ended up purchasing the 3039R because I needed the smaller frame size to suit my needs. What speed are you going here? Looks to be 2.5-3mph.

1-1.5mph

@turdferguson5300 4 месяца назад

What type of wildlife interaction have you had while bush hogging? There's a hawk that follows me around the farm catching mise and snakes behind the mower. It get amazingly close but that's the easiest hunting. Occasionally the deer come out to see what I'm doing. I don't always see them but it isn't uncommon. I spent my younger years hanging in a tree like a nut when all I needed was a tractor/mower combo. lol

Definitely be careful how low you cut in a lawn. Ive seen my father in law cut when his deck was as low as it can go and I kid you not the whole yard turned yellow the next day and most of the grass died. Last year I raised the deck up all the way up. Now the lawn looks the best its looked in probably 30 years.

I just did some checking on the missing subscriptions.... what I found was that the subscriptions are dropping from the slider on the left. 81 of mine vanished. However, if you go to the "show all subscriptions" at the bottom of the left hand subscription scroller, you will find ALL of your subscriptions, in alphabetical order. So, it appears people are not being unsubscribed, just that that scroll window is not showing all of the subscriptions. I am wondering if RU-vid put a limit on the number of subs that will show on the slider without telling anyone and it randomly drops anything over the limit. My limit is 101 Subs. Anything over that and they do not show on the slider.

@garymeyer3294 4 месяца назад

For tractors, torque is more important than horsepower. The JD 3046R has around 45 hp and the Kioti CK4010 SE has around 39 hp. Yet, the Kioti has 118 NM of torque vs. 112 Nm for the JD. Nothing beats a longer stroke , larger displacement engine for torque.

@TractorTimewithTim 4 месяца назад

Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252. So, equivalent PTO hp at PTO speed will be identical in power. The difference in this case is engine rpm. The Kioti is 1800 rpm. Deere much higher RPM.
