Thanks for your experience on the Home Depot brush hog yet my girlfriend recommended to use it on the 3300 sq feet of land I bought. Furthermore researching it for clearing land...
Looks like a well built machine but it looks like it needs geared down. When power is needed sometimes you don't need forward speed. Maybe it is but the operator looked the machine was handling him.
I rented one have a 1.25 acre square lot. Overgrown thick grassy brush with small saps. I started at day brake I mowed it all down by noon. It is a mix wooded lot. Now cutting all the trees down I don't want. Cleaning and clearing it up
What were you using to cut the remaining portion of the small trees so they wouldn't poke a hole in your tire? Those are what I need to get rid of in my land. I thought a brush mower would do it but it seems like it does not cut them trees low enough to the ground. Thanks for any advice.
Yeah, that’s the only bad part about these brush mowers. They are great at cutting a quick path through dense stuff but to make it a nice path, you gotta do some detail work. There’s no easy way to do it. Gotta go back with loppers, handsaw or chainsaw. It’s a pain. Never fails if I use the chainsaw, I hit a rock or the dirt. Thanks for watching!
Hey! It’s pretty much one speed. There is no fast/slow option. You can kinda go slow by easing into the “trigger”. But at a certain point it’s just one speed. Thanks for watching!
@@campnobody terrible. The holes 🕳 from the uprooted trees 🌲 made it very difficult. The terrain was too rough so only a small portion got done. I probably just need something like a bobcat or a dozer to clear it all out.
@@RicardoHernandez-zr1pw Damn, for 2 acres, especially in that heat, you definitely should of gotten AC temp controlled skid steer with brush cutting or "forestry attachment" -- learn as we go. Work hard, but don't kill yourself
I have a weed wacker with a "saw" blade for really rough terrain. It's like 30ccs 2-stroke. I like the Renegade blade. The whole thing cost me less than $200. I am renting a Billy Goat tomorrow, so I appreciate your comments about the holes, etc. My strategy is to follow the path of least resistance with the Billy Goat and come back next week with my weed wacker. I took the sheild off of the weed wacker, by the way. I have boots, protective glasses, gloves -- but the blade is about 4 feet from me so I haven't had any problems.
