It's finally nice to watch a video from a man who uses his equipment the same way I do, There must be about a million videos from "city boys" who bought a new tractor with a rotary cutter and refer to what they're doing as "brush hogging" when all they're really doing is cutting grass and wasting my time. I wish there were some way I could give your video two thumbs up! :-) FYI...My equipment is a 1996 Kubota M4700 pulling a 6 foot Rhino and it will shred just about anything I can back into.
Haha. Well thanks, Uncle Duke. If you use 'em right, it's amazing what good pieces of equipment can accomplish. I actually had an Uncle Duke by marriage in Southern Oklahoma. He was a tough ol' boot and a good dude. Thanks for stopping by.
I am all for chopping up brush etc. like this BUT I would be using and open rear faced chopper and wouldn't even be doing it at all with out either a chain guard or at the very least a rubber guard guard in the front, its only a matter of time till you catch one in the back of your head if your lucky
BigJim57 Hi BigJim, great to hear from you. You can't see it well in the pic but the thick factory rubber guard is alive and well on the front of the cutter. I prefer this over chain guards for heavy brush cutting. The chains are a little better when mowing grass, in my experience, since it doesn't lay the grass over quite as much.
I just purchased that same tractor yesterday used and it came with a 6 foot king kutter. thanks for the video post, I was wondering how big of brush it would handle but your video answers my question.
Awesome video! I have the same kind of landscape heavy brush like yours, do you think rotery is better then a flail, I haven’t found much on flail units doing this kind of heavy cutting
Hey man, thanks for commenting. It's hard to imagine a flail mower cutting like this even with heavy knives on a smaller tractor. However, some of the large industrial flail attachments for excavators can cut trees 6" and better! At that point it looks like a forestry mulcher but still is just cutting with flail knives. Very impressive stuff.

Hi Karl, thanks for your concern. It's hard to see in the picture but there is a full OE rubber safety skirt on the front of the brush hog.
In that case Mike carry on Sir!
Roger that!
think if i had much of that to do, i'd check into a brown tree cutter.
Those things are amazing.
boy-it's a miracle nothing flew out and hit u on the back of the head, without a set of chain guards on.

Hey Josh, I hope your king kutter is doing the job for ya. The Rhino in this vid is a "medium duty" cutter and did pretty well with the task.
