    DANGEROUS......!
    Under it not blocked and motor running. Depending on hydraulics to hold it up...... DANGEROUS

    That was a nice description of sharpening the blades, but you for rule number one before getting under the brush hog connected to the PTO, is stop the tractor engine first. Seeing the problem you are having with removing the blades reminds me of what I need to order. It looks like you did a nice job with sharpening the blades as the grass was cut down. Thanks for sharing the information.

    I am not an expert, but I have a friend that is and he's told me always sharpen mowing blades from the top. He said that sharpening blades from the top creates lift and makes the mower cut better. Enjoyed the vid and nice tractor!. thx

    Brush Hogging is one of those jobs I loved doing back when we had land. It was relaxing, and I could be by myself. The kids knew they couldn't yell for me because I couldn't hear them, and they weren't allowed to run out around the tractor while I was using it. Lots of noise meant peace and quiet.

    Don't feel to bad about the wire:) I ran into a bed spring, completely shut my tractor down within 3 feet of hitting it. Took a good 1.5 hours to get out(Heavy and a ton of wire! lol), same deal, wires stuck between the blade and the flange / shroud. Anyhow I plan on sharpening my blades tomorrow the same way. Two jack stand should cover it as far a safety goes. Thanks for the video, gave you a like, peace.

    for fear of sounding like an old man, i must agree with the other comment JEEZ! I got hurt once not practicing safe. The tractors are beasts and safty safety safety. Cant stress enough the importance of respecting the tool and its power. Support the mower independantly and then work on it. prevention is better than cure. take care and happy farming

    Thanks for the video. I need to replace my blades. I was reading that the bolt that holds your blade usually has left handed threads. Just a tip for next time. I was noticing you had problems trying to remove the nut.

  • @MrGitrdone41

  • @harley96cube
    @harley96cube 13 років тому

    I had to use penetrating oil and a long pipe for leverage when I took my blades off. I think the previous owner had never had them off or sharpened them.
    Once I sharpened them and re-assembled, it cut great. I'm sure if I remove them and sharpen them every spring, they will come off easier.

  • @ShawnCFarm
    @ShawnCFarm  13 років тому

    @Fordgpw1942ocalafl The older ones are easy, but not sure on the new ones. If you order parts make sure you replace all the bearings and seals. Some of the newer ones have oil pumps in them. Also you have to make sure you have the right oil in them.

  • @bill45colt
    @bill45colt 11 років тому +1

    pilgrim for sure. That is not a shield that holds your blades, its a stump jumper, made to protect your gear box when you hit a solid object. Remove blades with 3/4 inch drive air wrench and lots of air pressure. If that doesn't work, use cheater bar 6-8 ft long on your breaker handle. Cut excess wire off blades with cutting torch if you don't want to remove blades. Bad angle for sharpening of blades, sharpen to finer edge and will reduce load on engine, make cutting easier and take less fuel

    @baskinfarmandranch7033 7 років тому

    In all the brush hog blade sharpening videos that I have seen, I never see anyone sharpen the top side of the blade. I was always taught to sharpen the top side just like any lawn mower blade. This helps pull the grass and brush upward to get a clean cut. Any comments or suggestions?

    • @ShawnCFarm
      @ShawnCFarm  7 років тому

      Not sure but I just sharpen it like a lawn mower blade as well

    @DeWitteB Not really. You can't put it gear without pushing the clutch, and without it running it would go down alot faster

    I've got an old FMC Sidewinder bush hog I bought at auction. My neighbor was using it on my property (to pay off a debt) when the output shaft sheared and the blade pan (and blades and lubricant) parted ways with the gear box in a most spectacular fashion (I am told). The shear bolts failed (obviously). What to do, what to do? I am not mechanically skilled. My neighbor only a bit more so. I got on line and found that I may be able to replace the gear box. A call to a local tractor dealer revealed that maybe I could just replace the shaft. Which is what we were able to do. We tore down the gear box and with the help of a hydraulic press, separated and pressed shafts, bearings and seals to bring the gearbox back to where it functions normally. This is not something I would ever have done on my own. My neighbor also confessed that he would never have taken the project on by himself. Fortunately, his deceased father left him the tools we needed to take the gearbox apart, replace the broken shaft and put it all back together again. It is really a triumph of teamwork, patience, honest communication and friendship. Without all of that I would have a unsightly, rusting lawn ornament and ill will towards my neighbor. Together, and with $331.00, we were able to turn lemons into lemonade.

    @TheCelibatepornstars Theres no way this pto will go in gear without pushing the clutch, and its kind of hard to push. I only left it running because the hydraulics would come down alot faster. I know what you mean, if the blades started turning it could really hurt .

    True story.
    A fellow was mowing along the side of a highway. Rainstorm came up and he lifted the brush hog, turned off the tractor and crawled under the mower to get out of the rain. The hydraulics processed over and the brush hog came down on top of him. They buried him two days later.

    Those blades are suppose to be free moving too. If you leave that wire wedged between the blade and screw mount, the blade wont move if you hit a stump.

    @dwaynegoforth3246 8 років тому

    I have witnessed tractors with simple lever/cable PTO engaging hardware activate the PTO without warning if the cable gets out of adjustment. This will make a believer out of you when you are working with a PTO powered auger and it starts and stops on its own while you are watching from the seat and the PTO lever is in the off position!!! I was waiting for your hands to fly off, but thanks for the video otherwise. Whew!

When I sharpen my blades I stand the thing on it's front end and take the whole blade assembly off and lay it down on a work table and work on it. But you got it done that's what's important (:

    Never sharpen blades on a rotary cutter. Only replace them and always in pairs. They are not supposed to be sharp. New blades are a 1/4" thick at the edge and use the centrifugal force to flail to vegetation. Sharpening blades actually shortens the life.
