My father in-law has a 7 foot I don't remember the brand. It was heavy and had two separate wheels on the back. I mowed for him a lot on his Ford 4500 if I remember correctly. I got on his tractor to go mow but had a flat on the front. I raised the hog up and no more flat it pulled so much weight off the tractor front. I drove it about a mile to air up the tire. He did split the side of it when he hit a rock and the blade pushed it around and cracked the curve on the side of the mower. I watched him hog 4 inch saplings cutting fence lines out. I was never brave enough to do that. Since he passed tractor just sits in the shed for last 7 or 8 years. It gets started is about all. Watching you brought back some good memories.
Oh yeah!! now THAT is some brushhogging!! you took on some impressive trees. I used to blaze a trail like that(not quite as bad) with my 5 footer but I got rid of it and bought a 10 footer for my fields that isn't near as useful for tight spots like that.. that put an end to a lot of my trail blazing. I did get a nice 8 point one year using a path I had cut.
thats why i bought a tractor with a cab. Ive had many snakes out sunning themselves on a low limb and then her i come along and the fall off onto hood or sometimes into my lap. Scared me as much as them, lucky i was never bitten. Cab, 10ft cutter, and 130 hp is the way i go today. Thanks for the fun video
I'm 100 miles east of you and they are saying we will get some of that 'smilin weather' next week-- lower humidity and temps. I hope to get all my trails and lanes knocked down next week when the daily floods stop. I've been chased by hornets and wasp from above and yellow jackets from below but have never had bumble bee problems until you posted your video the other day! Two days after it posted I ran my left tires smack over a nest. Thanks to your video I knew exactly what they were and eased on over to the next field for a little while! Thank you for the education!
That is what I always loved about bush hogging. You go into a place and it just seems wild and untamed, yet when you are done there is a finished passable road to use through the woods.
While I enjoyed shredding with a bush hog for many years . The CTL’s with mulching heads have really made doing these jobs more efficient and comfortable. Understanding the tracked skid steers aren’t cheap and most times you do with what you got it’s a pleasant option if it’s available.
Aaaah , there's nothing more satisfying than a EXCELLENT bush hogging video ,and I thought that I was the only one that stuffed my 5075e down thru the woods.
Yeah we have an 8' bushhog brand 3008 and a flexwing 12' bushhog 1812. Both of them are tough as hell! We pull them with our 110hp, 90hp and 85hp tractors. The 110 and 90 are cabbed, but I prefer the uncabbed for in the woods like you are doing. The cabbed ones are too easy to get busted up in the woods.
I agree the cab tractors are nice and comfy but can get beat up in the woods. The open tractors work as long as you don’t hit bad weather or hornets nests….
It's amazing what a good driver can do with equipment. I have a 39hp Kubota with a 72" rotary mower; I cut the same as you do. Just go slow and steady and you'll cut almost everything you want from grass to shrub trees. I just cleared a nice little food plot for a neighbor, was cutting thick grown shrub tress from 1" thick to 4" thick some a little thicker.
The modern tractor vs old school clutch and gears is night and day!! We have a lot of deer that hang around on our farm. Sulfur blocks and water they love
You might want to go talk to jason Hollis Farms and borrow his heavy duty brush hog, brown tree cutter it would go through the brush like a hot knife through butter, love these rype of videos.
I’ve always noticed that slow cranking since you bought that tractor. Also, I had your previous video playing in the background last night and I could always recognize when you put it in reverse by the higher pitched whine from the shuttle shift and have heard that on other shuttle shift tractors as well. Not sure why they do that?
can you tell me how to activate the 4wd on john deere 5075e ??? I know that the pedal is on the floor on the right side but I don't know how to activate it.
