Instagram: IDigIt4 Finishing up brush cutting these overgrown ditches on the farm job with the Takeuchi TB235-2 and the Rut Manufacturing Brush Slayer! #Takeuchi #BrushSlayer #BrushCutting
You accidently finding and destroying the yellow jacket hive saved someone much pain and possible anaphylactic shock. Thank goodness, for cabs on equipment, the cab was tight enough none of them could get to you. Your time-lapse sections of the video are fantastic and greatly appreciated. An excellent way to show just how much work goes into mulching. The brush cutting header is far too easy to dig into the ground and that has to be frustrating. I am amazed of your eye and hand coordination being that far back and higher. The property is well maintained with the mowed sections.
Lol speaking of yellow jackets nests aww! I was brush cutting autumn olive bushes that had grown up along our fence line. I caught a bottom wire of the high tensile fence and wrapped it up into my flail mower. So I got out of my Kubota Kx-121-3 Cabbed excavator to cut it out. Next thing I know I was getting lite up like it was the 4th of July! These things where on me so quick I couldn't even think what to do. So after running around and hitting the ground like I was on fire. I got most of them off and made it back to the cab of the excavator. Where I inspected my stings (Not Allergic) thank gosh! I had been strung 14 times. The worst ones were on my ears. They swelled up quickly. Even thought I am not allergic. So I took my flail mower took it right over their nest and used it to dig it up and mulch there little bee asses up. I dug down to the hive and the damn thing was about the size of a basketball!!!!
My sales guy said the enclosed cab would more than pay for itself when I found a yellowjacket nest. I haven't tested it yet, but the HVAC is really nice.
They able to sting you more than one time I was swathing and had to replace it sickle section that broke when I hit a rock and I had stopped on top of a yellow jacket nest and after getting stung 5 times I got the hell out of there thank God I had my experience pen with me very allergic to bee stings
Awesome! I'll be back out on this property in a couple weeks to cut the ditches again with this machine! Looking forward to it! Let me know how you like your cutter!
I just bought a 42" Rut Tree Slayer. Tried it out yesterday and was pleased with how it works. I'm running it on my Case CX57C. Any advice for a new owner?
The reason that the jacket nest was so small is that it's early I'm the summer..come back in October it would be triple that size...glad you're in an enclosed cab...good job bro !!🐝🐝🐝
Man ! The Rut is kicking butt on the little Takeu. Is the thumb leaking down? If so, make up a small safety chain and hold it up out of the way. Btw, besides just the obvious creature comforts like A/C and radio, yellow jackets are one of the biggest reasons I wanted a enclosed cab on my machine. Got tore up too many times on the open cab backhoe by those little evil things.
I was wondering, would that head attach to and work on your machine? Or would your machine be to powerful for that head? I'd be interested to see how that brush head works on your machine.
Im in Oregon, I was walking around spraying blackberries with crossbow last year and stepped in a yellow jacket nest and got stung about 25 times. Im super nervous about doing it again now.
Earlier this year you you did a video with the MTL XC5 Brush Cutter. Which do you prefer, the MTL XC5 Brush Cutter or the RUT MFG BRUSH CUTTER TREE SLAYER?
If you are having Trouble with your Gopro overheating. Get a external usb power pack and remove the battery from the camera, and run on the external pack only. Just remember to stop recording before unplugging it or you will loose footage.
In my area plants spend energy on growth till the august new moon then they start rebuilding reserves so this is their weakest point , best time to kill.
***Considering buying first Skid steer. ***Can someone give a good reason why to consider a track or wheeled machine?*** Everything I see online just seems to be a matter of preference. I would be using in the woods to move very large rocks and pulling stumps.
Wheeled skid steers are basically only good for road work and farm yards. Track skid steers get more traction, have better floatation, and don't get stuck as easy overall. A wheeled skiddy can get helplessly stuck in an inch of mud. It's less about preference and having the right tool for the job.
How do those blades n teeth hold up during use? Those r hornets if they r in ground. Yjs are in above grade nests. It hit a hornet nest with my fs550 on foot at dusk, took 12 sting before i knew what was going on. The little beaches got under my face screen got me in the neck before i started slappin n running. Haaa. Sprinkle sevin dust on the hole they will b dead in 2 days, all of them.
This is cool…. But Area like that I would just take my 30hp Deere and it’s 5 foot hog and just crawl through it which would be twice as fast as this setup. I’m not saying this in a hater way, just as a contractor I hate moving my mini compared to my compact. The faster I can mow the more time I have to make more money.
Just be happy you are dealing with the eastern yellow jackets or the German yellow jacket with the 1,000 to 3,000 individuals in a hive and not the Southern yellow jacket that can have 100,000 individuals in a hive.
Love what you do but can't subscribe to thar music lol I'd rather hear tge noise of the machines chewing up tge brush.... We don't have this stuff much in the UK.
Do you have depth perception issues and do you have a hearing problem??? Even though you and the machine are slow, you still scar up the ground and hit the water... Why? And how do you still have a job??? That mower looks slow a sounds sick. Is it leaking? Low on power some how?? Should the blades be spinning faster than that? Thanks.
