- Here is part 2/2 of the Brush (bush) hog (cutter) PTO to hydraulic conversion. For the promised more in depth look at the hydraulic system on it, and a better more detailed walk around of it you'll have to stay tuned for part 3/2 unfortunately. Thanks for sticking around, watching, and hopefully subscribing! I appreciate it. This is my first time editing on this software, how did i do? see ya in the next one! -JasonWorksAlot
thank you Jimmy, with To The Top Crane, for coming up with the name "Twig Pig" I formally stole it, and trademarked it on the internet, and whats on the internet is always real.... you can't lie on there.
I dig it! I like the ingenuity! Looks pretty handy. Editing looked great! Thanks for the video!
+burningdinosaurs thank you comrade dinosaurs! Appreciate you watching it! See ya in the next one, DRINK MORE VODKAS!!
I have people waiting on me when this popped up so I'll grade your editing later tonight :) Very cool project and I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole video.
Dall Tex thanks man! Looking forward to the feedback. Talk to you soon
A+ on the edit !! That has to be the coolest swap mower ever. I would have you for a neighbor any day. You make your neighbor’s property value go up as you make these fantastic improvements to your property. I did have to pour a few extra splashes of vodka watching this. Next build should be detectable plexi shield with room to use your foot rest. Nice job man !!!
Dall Tex hopefully my neighbors can see it that way....hahaha the clear confidence adder of choice indeed Comrad! I did actually build a shield, I was going to use plexi but was afraid it would get so scratched up so quickly I wouldn't be able to see through. I used expanded metal, it'll be in video part 3 of 2 :) I'm glad you enjoyed the editing, I like this program and had a little fun making it. Thanks for the support I'll see ya in the next one my friend!
JasonWorksAlot - YA s neterpeniyem zhdu etogo svoyego druga. I hope that translates the way I wanted lol.
Dall Tex sorry I only read and write Murican at the moment and barely even that. Once I get to the computer I'll use the googles translate though! I'm ordering considering a Rosetta Stone to try and soften up my accent too. 😊😋
I like this a lot! Great job!
Richard Savaglio thanks rich!
I built one of these for my John Deere 120 couple years ago works good. Nice work love the face shield !!
Dirt Perfect comrade perfect! Thanking you for watching, it was a labor of love and in end it tries to killing me every time use it. Face shield is only protection I have. DRINK MORE VODKAS!
Love it keep up the good work and videos
That’s pretty cool, well done man
John Teel thank you sir, and thanks for watching. See ya in the next one!
That’s awesome wonderful job
Pretty sweet! Needs some chain welded to it at least to keep stuff from flying everywhere
+RED DIRT DOZER many thanks comrade! I've got some conveyer material I was going to use, but ran out of time. This season before I use it I'm going to do that and mount some expanded metal to the mini as a safety sheild. Already have that cut and ready too. Thanks for watching, DRINK MORE VODKAS!
Titos on hand!
It's like a giant weed eater. Awesome!
Hannah Anderson basically yeah! Thanks!
Great fab work. Just enough vodkas
That's awesome! But, you need some armor! That thing is dangerous! 😳👍
To The Top Crane you're telling me!😳😳 needed to change my underwear after that afternoon 😳 thanks for watching sir! See ya in the next one
@@JasonWorksAlot, don't let WifeyWorksAlot on that thing. You'd feel terrible if something happened.
To The Top Crane you're absolutely right, she'll stick to the lawn tractor for the time being. Lol
Wow! That thing worked much better than I had anticipated. Were you pretty pleased with the results? What would you have done differently? Definitely the face shield is non-optional and I saw you already addressed the plexi-shield for the machine. Maybe a Kevlar vest or a medieval suit of armor? Machining skills are very impressive! I noticed others were complimenting the editing, but I thought the music was ‘stepping-on’ your narration sometimes. Nice work and good vid!
psidvicious comrade psid! Howing are you doing today?? It did work better than I had hoped, if I could do it again I'd have done the build about the same, but I'd have bought a quick connect for the excavator. (I'm ordering one sooner or later when I sell my trailer I'll be going past the place that makes it, I'll probably get it then. ) switching it one and off is a royal pain because it's got so much mass to the left and right of the pin boss very hard to line up by yourself. I did make an expanded metal shield for the excavator but haven't had time to put it on, hoping to soon. Also haven't used the brush cutter since this vidja. Yes the sound was off in this one for sure I agree. This was the first vidja I did with adobe and I think the power went to my head with it. Thanking you for watching comrade and as always my friend DRINK MORE VODKAS!
It looks like it works very well. The excavator looks like it handles the weight very well even with it extended out a long way. I was thinking a flip down door made of something much stronger than plexiglass would be handy. What are the faceshields made of?
walter mattson it works pretty good, I'm finding that the body of the brush hog is kinda flimsy and needs to be reinforced. I made a windshield for the excavator out of 1/8" thick expanded metal I'll be putting that on soon. The face shield is only rated for chemical use and is made of either acrylic or polyethylene. I've already split one in half :/. As far as the weight, yes the excavator doesn't seem to mind it at all, the entire thing is really probably less than 1000lbs and the excavator is good for about 1300 stretched all the way out like that. I'm very happy with it. I'll have more footage of it up soon! Thanks for watching! See ya in the next one!
So far, so good. Not too nose heavy it don't look ;like. That's what I hate is a nose heavy machine but you get used to what you run. Fine job. YOu better watch it or Wifey might just show you up!
Lewie McNeely comrade mcneely! Off camera.... because I moved out of frame... I tested it while it was only tacked in place. Moved it to full extension and swig full circle it's planted firm as an ox on the ground. The attachment in total probably only weights 550lbs or so though. Machine is rated for close to 900 at full extension over the side. And it would be an honor to be shown up by wifeyworksalot :) thanks for watching comrade and as always My friend, DRINK MORE VODKAS!
I ran one of those hoes years ago with a 3 foot wide bucket but it wasn't unmanageable. A little nose heavy but nothing that couldn't be handled with a full bucket. You did a fine job and it ought to work well for you as long as no one but you run it. I've seen how borrowed stuff comes back.
Lewie McNeely oh no comrade. I don't have the insurance coverage to lend that death trap out. It shoots whatever the heck it wants hundreds of feet at a time.
I don't blame you. When my stuff goes out I go with it.
Lewie McNeely exactly comrade, though I don't have much time to be rented anymore I do it here and there still.
That is one awesome attachment! I need one! Be careful my friend, I almost lost an eye watching this! That thing definitely makes short work of that brush.(see what I did there 😉) lol. Great job thanks for sharing!
Hahaha I sure did! I made a windshield out of expanded metal for it today, it'll be in the update vidja! Thanks for watching, and commenting I'll see ya in the next one!!
So which hydraulic circuit were you using? I see the length of hose running down the boom. Just motor and crossover?
+shawn coulter Comrade coulter, the hose on the boom is just for the auxiliary circuit in general. The machine didn't have the hard lines on it when I got it, and they're discontinued. These work for now until I can get some hard lines made. Currently I'm running the motor direct from the auxiliary circuit, I just idle the machine down and then SLOWLY let off the pedal to avoid as much shock to the circuit as possible. Next time I use it though I am going to hook up the cross over valve. Time was of the essence unfortunately so I did what I could with what I had, it wasn't ideal but it worked. Thanking you for watching comrade and as always my friend, DRINKING MORE VODKAS!!
Great vid 👍 👍
But the music almost put me to sleep.will vodka wake me back up.lol
+Josh Welner comrade Welner, I still struggle with the music unfortunately. I haven't quite fogured out where to get good music from yet. Sorry about that, bear with me I've been researching other options like crazy. Comrade vodkas is always the answer!! DRINK MORE VODKAS!!!
@@JasonWorksAlot your vids are great let's hear more of you. it's your Channel you do what you want to do I'll still watch 👍👍👍👍
Josh Welner appreciate it. I'm really trying to get more content out. It's hard right now. Work full time overnight, not allowed to film there, so most of the footage comes from 2 of my 3 businesses which it's hit or miss if customers are okay with me filming. Recently they haven't been, however those jobs are coming to an end now. All I've been able to film are my projects around the house which unfortunately I don't always have time to do. I finished the trailer parking pad today And I filmed it. Going to start editing tomorrow probably will be a 2 part deal again. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it comrade Welner DRINK MORE VODKAS
Just wandering what the specs are in the hydraulic motor I'm on the hunt for an old brush hog to do the same thing to. O and is that the trailer you sold to lets dig 18 lol
Clay Evans off hand I don’t remember specs on it. Shoot me an email to remind me and I’ll get them tomorrow. Therealjasonworksalot@yahoo.com
Yes it is indeed lol.
Ah comrade, you build big weed eater. LOL Looks good!
Kirk Overly comrade overly! I did! And it tried to kill me! What Nerve right!!?? Thanks for watching my friend and as always, DRINK MORE VODKAS!
In RUSSIA weeds eat you!
Brwp E comrade you are familiar with weeds in the motherland too??
Not personally, but I do know Russia will "weed" out the weak. 😁
Is that actually a creek running through your yard?
Elite Earthworks LLC indeed it is, with a lot of rain it gets quite deep, 5-6 feet right after the wooden bobkitten bridge. Normally it's about 3.5 feet there though.
Totally awesome video, too bad the music killed it. Machinery sounds, hammering and a little commentary goes a long ways. We don't mind those things.
Thats cool....
D C thank you :) if only I could get my garage cleared out so I could make more death traps 🙄DRINK MORE VODKAS!
Jason, i know this was ages ago but do you have specs for the hydraulic motor? I'm going to do the same thing for my tractor's front-end loader
Unfortunately I don’t, however I can try to help you figure out what you need if you want.
If you know what your tractor hydraulics flow, and you know the pto speed the brush hog was designed for you can plug them into this website and it’ll tell you the size motor. I buy my motors from surpluscenter.com
If I were to do it again I’d under rate my hydraulic flow a little bit. I believe mine was 10gpm I should have got a motor based on 9gpm. (Oversized by 10%) It would have performed much better under load - it took forever to spin back up if it loaded down
Hope that helps, best of luck with it!

@@JasonWorksAlot Awesome, thank you! With this info I should be able to get it done! Thanks again!
@@tgiacobbi no problem Tom. If you run into a bind shoot me an email. Therealjasonworksalot@yahoo.com
@@JasonWorksAlot Thanks for the offer!
Is that brush mower uses hydraulics before conversion?
No originally a PTO direct drive
the canon kit lens doe's not like to focus upclose in some case
I’ve noticed. I haven’t used it much recently do you by chance have any recommendations? I loved using the canon. Recently have been running the dji osmo pocket. Thanks
@@JasonWorksAlot if you need a lens to do a nices close up shoot check out canon micros lens. what i use in my youtube production gear is a canon macro lens 60mm when i need that nices close up shot and portrait shoot
michaeltechroom awesome I’ll look into it some thanks! I’ve subscribed as well I’ll check out your videos as soon as I get a minute.
Hey man I understand the attachment for the brush but the lawn! Cmon now WTF........ haven’t you thought your wife to start the lawn mower yet.........
James Conquest hahaha it’s gotten slightly better since. But she worked more than I did at the time and her jobs actually important so I let it slide.
I would like to have heard the sound from your excavator and Bring-It-On-Hog as they ran rather than the annoying music. Also you were protected with PPE against flying debris but I saw you flinching at times. It would have been good to hear you swearing in Russian each time you got hit.
Chris Rowland in the next part I will do better to let the sounds of the machinery shine through. I figured most people don't want to listen to the droning of the machine the whole time, I'd prefer natural sound as well but trying to pitch to an audience is a tedious line I suppose. Yeah, the face shield saved me a few times, though I'd prefer to not test my luck with it as it's only rated for chemical splash not impacts- better than nothing though. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the criticism. See ya in the next one!
I tried your home brew poison ivy/sumac killer but don't think I will attempt this one. You are one brave man..
Chris Rowland channel your inner Russian my friend, few big swigs of the clear stuff does wonders for confidence and bravery 😁 keeping blood from contaminating your alcohol system is of the upmost importance you know.
