Swisher Rough Cut Mower www.whitetailhabitatconsulting.com
I have had the Swisher for several years. It has been a good mower and I am still on the original belt. It can cut brush and saplings. The only thing I do not like about the mower is the adjustment of the mowing height. I have helped clients improve their habitat and whitetail hunting opportunities. I can create a plan for your property or evaluate your plan. I would appreciate it if you would subscribe to my channel.

      The slash can be used to create blockades or brush piles for wildlife. I used my tractor to move it and it would have been nice to have a grapple.

    I'm not going to tell you and I'm not being that negative guy posting bad stuff about anything. I need to tell you and I could care less if you listen or not. Brasicas and winter rye should not be mixed. The winter rye will dramatically cut down your brasica growth. Another reason I'm telling you is because of the planting dates and your seed provider should have told you about it. Brasicas get planted around August 1st winter rye Labor day weekend well depending on rain. To really make it work good for you half brasica half winter rye. I honestly think your the if it germinate s fast it won't be palatable anymore when you need it to be during season they won't hit it after it gets too tall. All I'm doing is trying to help you out.
