The first thing that comes to mind is that the machine uses the same amount of fuel to mow a fifteen foot wide instead a six foot wide path. You have more moving parts but that is only a maintenance issue. I have used one over forty years ago to mow corn field after picking the corn. The township mowed road sides and would park it in our field.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I’ve got a batwing and looking at getting a ventrac lol. Fields like yours batwing is the way to go. I got some leases on some steep hill farms so thinking of getting a ventrac for just the hills.
Josh, Enjoy the channel. I just received a T-1104 and a Woods 15.50 batwing this past Monday. I agree it is a nice setup. I was mowing some property I just purchased and found a wet spot. That is when I learned that the 4-wheel drive would not engage on the T-1104. If you have not confirmed the 4-wheel drive and/or differential lock work properly, have your dealer check it out before you need it. Some of the T-1104 tractors have an issue with the solenoids that activate these two features. There is a burr on the inside of the valve(s) which keeps it from activating properly. It is a fairly simple fix. The dealer came out and filed the burrs out of the valves yesterday. Works great now. Keep up the good work.
Funny how you gotta go through new stuff just as thoroughly as the used. I talked to a guy who was working for one of my landowners who just bought a ‘22 120hp bobcat skid loader, and the thing had tons of loose bolts.
I’ve always suffered from hay-fever my whole life especially this time of year, I’m 57 and 2 months ago I got COVID now not a sneeze or even as much as a itchy nose CURED!
Grass pollen: what eats me up on an open station tractor is bumble bees and ground wasps. Do love my JD cab tractor lol.A/C,radio,comfy seat: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mow about 5 miles of grass for my Town. I use a John Deere 5075M with the M15 Batwing. On thing I found is turning more than 80° damaged the Universal Joint on the Mower. Another issue is lubing the Mower is much easier with the wings down. But man they can do some work.
Another drone bites the big one lol. Awesome video josh we've got a 15 ft batwing here and compared to a little 8 or 10 ft cutter its a time saver for sure. I will say that your woods cutter looks way better than our land pride. Keepnup the great work buddy
dame bro your looking really good , your skin has tightened after the weight loss , im saying you dont look sick anymore :) your looking great mate i hope your feeling amazing , i know i do when im at 82 kgs any heavier and my back gets full of pain, } good work mate
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Sorry must have missed that video. Try to keep up with you regularly, but as you know life gets very busy sometimes. Love the channel!!! I was raised on a farm but am physically not able to work a farm anymore. I am excited to see you get this farm to a self-sustaining profitable farm!! God Bless You!!
Your wing leveling jam nuts are loose! Those things will just vibrate around! That mower each thread counted is an inch so around 7 will center you I fought level ground for to long discovered counting threads was better then a parking lot!
Looks like we use the same dealer. I see yours was never adjusted by the dealer either. (Loose Lock Washers and Nuts !) Probably should adjust it before you do to much mowing. I guess dealer setup for a Brand New 15K mower is to much to ask !
I'm not sure...however most likely will not try it....55hp for this heavy duty machine might be too small. They make lighter duty batwings for lower hp machines..this is alot of mower my friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I live in the UK , we only Tractors with Names EG Massey Furguson , New Holland , International & even John Deere ,Not "Tym T11o4 -Cheers
My brotha...as I've said before...ya can't rob peter to pay paul....if you cut hay off a piece of land you have to replace the nutrients....this area is only 2-2.5 acres...not worth getting the equipment out of the shed. Google search "Green Manure" it's a USDA term that means mowing to feed the land
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Hi Josh, wasn't sure about using the mowed grass for hay. Hope that the grass clippings will help the land. Do You take any and put them on barren spots? Or let them stay where they fall? You and the Critters BE SAFE & WELL.
540 pto...and it's very stable for my property....duals would make this machine nearly impossible to maneuver in my area and getting through my gates...remember it's not a 200 hp machine..it's a large utility tractor
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yes sir. People use duals Smaller horsepower tractor than yours Don’t get stuck as easily Pretty steep banks. Again Midwest country from the sticks. Used to have 16 foot gates we are going to basically 32 foot because of machinery etc. Yes cattle Rowcrop etc.
Man, that mower is a beast! If you could only own one of your TYM tractors which would it be? I'm looking to buy a tractor soon and I'm leaning towards a TYM...
Hi.... Josh nice to see you love watching your videos I really enjoy. But I also want to do a homestead but how I don't have any place show me the way how to start, where to find give me a clue, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
anywhere ya go there's always gonna be somebody that has brand loyalty to another company...I'll take woods because I know they build quality....and they build more than just mowers...I do like the bush hog brand zero turns
you mow to stimulate growth and put down biomass..if ya let it go to seed and the seed heads go brown..the grass grows dormant and doesn't grow as vigorously. That's why we mow...now for all those bare spots..the soil in this area lacks carbon...we'll be adding manure to these areas soon which will make it more fertile. This is what the whole farm looked like 3-5 years ago...takes time to do this without chemicals...gotta mow to stimulate growth
And the drone goes down again…mayday, mayday 😂

Use to run these in California in the duck clubs before I moved to Oklahoma and man I miss it!
From the little DR string mower to a monster mower... from the sublime to the ridiculous! It’s all good. Great video. Thanks.
gotta mow the big stuff and edge it up with the trimmer! It's mowing season! WOoooO!!!
Can't go wrong with a bat wing, and that is one of the best, nice demo!!
I feel like it was just last year we were watching you take two weeks to mow the fields with a riding mower. Awesome progress man. Keep moving forward
I know right.....using the Ventrac to mow the pastures for weeks on end

Hey Josh, I wish I lived closer to you. I would be your farmhand free of charge. You do all the things that I love to do. Stay safe !
Anytime you can find a product that makes life easier, I'm all for it!! And I'd say this mower qualifies!! GOOD STUFF!!

Looks a big time saver compared to my 7 foot woods. I think my landscape is too rolling though. If your farm was here folks would call it flat.
Exact setup I want for my farm. Saving up!!
go buy it now buddy! With the availability and crazy price hikes on steel nowadays...better get it while it's less expensive for sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer - thought about that! Unfortunately I don’t have a secure structure yet to store it in. I’m in the real early stages my friend.
Hello from Alabama my friend
Great video.
Can you go over with more detail on the hydraulic functions of the batwing and the tractor?
Need to get a set of dual wheels for big t they take all the side to side rocking out of it and make it feel so much better on hills
it's pretty good the way it is my brotha
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer be safe and enjoy your new mower they are worth their weight in gold
You are the best👍
Hey Josh thank you for another good video woo
Hello from Minnesota!
Wow! That thing is a beast! I can't imagine the cost....I won't ask. LOL!
you'd be surprised...they're priced very affordably
While Josh trims grass, the drone trims a tree. 😉
YEah! somebody watched to the end!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer
I did also.
Lol
dame bro your looking really good , your skin has tightened after the weight loss , im saying you dont look sick anymore :) your looking great mate i hope your feeling amazing , i know i do when im at 82 kgs any heavier and my back gets full of pain, }
good work mate
bhahhaha...well thanks...I feel much better
Great video Josh 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO 🇺🇲
Much better, and cheaper (in the long run) than fixing your Dad's MASSIVE one!
😯-Whoo!
absolutely
I still might look like an idiot but I can show it to you might just be my new life motto
I would like to see a video of how well the T574 would handle the woods batwing mower
ya won't see that because it's not enough HP my friend...they make lighter duty mowers that are for lower HP
awesome machine
I haven’t seen the 1104 recently. Do you still have that tractor and what didn’t it cost back then?
still have it, just havn't been mowing much lately due to the drought we had this year
Another great VLOG… glad I am subscribed and hope it helps you.
Awesome, thank you!
Good video
WOOOOOOO!
Josh,
That's a lot of shafts. How many shear pins does that thing have?
All of them!!
To mow with left side 90° we just unhook the pto shaft to that side.
don't need to unhook anything my friend it will mow upright
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer ours is 20 years old that's the only way you can do it like that thy change things in the newer ones.
Ours unfolded we put the wings on floot so it will flex with the ground.
That looks like a great mower!!! What happened to the older batwing mower that you were going to fix. Was it too far gone to make it work??
where you been lol....sold it to put the money towards a new one that I won't have to fix, modify or break everytime I use it lol

540 but you can get 1000

I've been wanting to buy a bad wing but do not know if my 70 horse tractor will pull it
no problem. I checked it out for my 60 HP Kubota and it was well within the ratings
What is this Tractors Maker ,It looks like a Ford /New Holland but Red ? . Or is it a Massey Furguson ? . Looks Great .Kindest Regards

Think you have enough PVC glue on your hands Josh?😂🤣
when a man works...the first place you can see it is in his hands my friend lol
You didn't show how it cut around the pond
Are still going to use the 6foot woods mower
for smaller projects for sure
The blue markings on your right hand....what are they?
PVC glue lol
Replaces a dozen lawn mowers and thats no joker batman
Did you ever get the old batwing working?
no sir...sold it and put the money towards a new one
That'll save you on fuel costs as well! It'll pay for it self in no time, Josh.
How much does this machine cost?

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer what's the material capacity of your woods?
Miss seeing jd 65
you mean the 5065?
You need to put a heavy screen on the back glass or take a chance off knocking it out
that's why I've got insurance my friend...however this machine is 5-6 feet below the glas on the tractor...I don't think it's a major concern at all

find a neighbor that has a bee hive. honey is a great way to fight allergies…

Not sure what is going on with the picture quality of the video, first time seeing it in your videos.
uh...nothing buddy....must be your internet speed

Привет из России!
3 hydraulic functions I don't have :-(
easy enough to couple the batwings together and make it work on 2 remotes...but you will need 2
Have you looked at robotic mowers that could do on their own .
I wouldn't mow that, it's already too weak / thin / patchy
