Between content the camera angles and the commentary this is one of the best channels
Thanks I appreciate the feedback and kind words and thanks for watching
GoPro inside the cutter housing! You sir are either a madman or a genius, haha! Love it! I don’t think I could bring myself to do the same with my Hero 7.
lol glade you enjoyed
Mad genius 😂😂
This was a really good video. I think you're closing in on just the perfect amount of different angles. The before and after was awesome. Those overhead, drone shots of you mowing were really cool; more times than not you can't beat a bird's eye view.
Thanks buddy appreciate the feedback
Nice. I got all the stuff to do it and was gonna make one. For ten years. And of course never got to it. Was gonna over lay my old deck with full 3/8"plate and rib up top and all sides. Oh well maby someday. Glad you threw this up. Gets me in the mood to build one.
Lol awesome good luck with it
That was an awesome camera view from underneath the mower!!!
Thanks glade you enjoyed
Brush hoggin’ with an excavator! First I have seen that, and it obviously works awesome. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Thanks for watching 😁
Pretty slick rig sure works good would be awesome for clearing brush and small trees, thanks for the video Mike keep em coming.
Thanks for watching James
I have got to say that is the first time I have ever seen a view from under the deck while mowing! It was awesome! Nice job Mike!
Lol glade you enjoyed
Great idea it's a dual purpose attachment now instead of just one plus alot safer as well. Keep up the great videos
Thanks kenny
Took me 35 years to grow my hair and now I'm bald after riding inside your Bush Hog ! Thanks for the unique cam shots DP !
Lol sorry 😝
@@DirtPerfect Don't trip brother it's all good ! Happy Holidays to you and yours !
Dang,thought I was in the middle of a tornado in a hey field for a bit.lol. great video.
I worked on these things for over twenty years before I retired. I really liked the unique perspective of the underside shots. We were told that the blade tip speeds on our brush decks were close to 200 mph. I've seen some pretty large stuff cut by one of these, and some bad damage when things go wrong. Thanks for the video.
Thanks and thanks for watching Mitch
Pretty slick Mike. Nice attachment to have for sure. I could really see something like that coming in handy.
Thanks buddy and yes it super handy for sure
That was awesome to see. That's and awesome hat you have on thanks for sharing it
Thanks Andrew and thanks for watching
You and Andrew Camerata could make a great team
Lol thanks
Few years back the state hired a guy with a large JD excavator with a type of flail mower on the stick. Closed up the hydro dam to a trickle and he went down in there and mashed all the saplings and bushes. Trees on slopes 4 to 6 inch caliber gone. Looked like a bomb went off when done. The wailing of attached tool was incredible when free wheeling!!
Mike that was awesome. Never thought I would see the view from under a Bush hog. It is scary to think about looking at it from a distance going full steam, so being able to see it work was pretty cool.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. We all know how busy you are and it takes a lot of time to not only record, but edit and upload as well. Just want you to know that it is very much appreciated. You have so much excellent content all the time!!
Thanks buddy appreciate the feedback and kind words and most of all thanks for watching
Thanks Mike I'm disabled with a bad back but like you when I was younger and not in pain I could turn my hand to adapting or making things.
Keep up the good work with the film's and it would be nice to see some more film's with your family in.
A devoted fan from the UK and will keep watching.
I may have to look into building something similar to that, would be great on a decent sized mini ex mowing lagoon banks. Great video Mike.
Yes Jason works a lot built one for his min ex and works good for him
Very nice ! Looks like that work as good or better than a factory model to me. Great camera angles ! Thanks for the video it takes a lot of time to get the angles and put it all together I appreciate it! Keep up the great work !
Thanks buddy
Mike, I think this is the best video that I have seen yet
Thanks Todd
No problem . Merry Christmas
Dont know why, but it is relaxing watching to trim that ditch! Thumbs up for ya.
Thanks
Who has the most expensive lawnmower ! 😆
Mow the water.
I can’t believe the magnet held the camera with all that grass hitting it.
Nice footage and nice operator there.
Thanks Robert
Looks so much better Mike !! Never been under a bushhog while it’s mowing lol great work with the cameras !!
Thanks buddy
Your homemade attachments are PURE GENIUS and you are truly amazing INVENTOR.
Thanks Scott
You forgot to tell us safety glasses were required. Lol. Nice functional fabricobble modifications.
Lol sorry and thanks
Great video buddy! Love the camera angles too! Getting camp looking pretty good for me when I come back to visit 🤣
Welcome anytime 😁
I was one started talking about. Cordless leaf blower for trailer cleaning.
I have a 80 volt green works an my equipment guy uses craftsman brand.
Works real good on dry stuff but keep old push broom handy if its heavy wet stuff. Plus cleans cab out good too.
Awesome thanks
Just like to say that I've watched 99% of your videos and all ways look forward to the next one, so keep them coming for 2020. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Chris p from England.
Thanks Chris appreciate the feedback and glade you enjoy
Merry Christmas and a good, happy and healthy New Year.
Kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Incredible camera views and another awesome piece of home made handy work. Merry Christmas and keep up the good work
Thanks buddy
Real smart bush hog. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all my co follower's. Best wishes from Norway
Thanks buddy and same to you guys
Merry Christmas to your family. I hope you have a good one.
Good video...Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks and some to you guys
Mike that setup is awesome man. Does a killer job. Ol 120 is a money making machine son. I like how diverse you have made. Merry christmas to you and yours.
Thanks Andy same to you guys
THAT WAS COOL MOWING OVER CAMERA >Thanks > Russ Ann Arbor , Michigan GO Blue !
I am envious of you and what you do. I had a great career, but wish I could do what you do. Sure, you get paid for what you do. but you help so many people out by doing a good job and caring about every job that you do. You do things that most just aren't able to participate in doing your job or jobs. Keep up the good work and I really enjoy seeing your videos.
Thanks Jr
That is one SLICK combination. Great idea.
Thanks
Looks very nice.
That is a great idea brush hog on the end of a excuvator never seen it does it come to u at night when you are asleep good job 👍
Lol nope just trying to find a creative way to get the job done easier 😁
Nice job adapting what you have.
Thanks mike
Man that bush hog is a beast. I bet that will last better than a high dollar new one. That the first time I've ever seen the underneath of a bush hog running and Hopefully I'll never see it in person 😂 keep up the great videos sir
lol thanks buddy
Eu quero receita de remédio caseiro
@@DirtPerfect receita de remédio caseiro
Hope your new machine has continuous flow pump. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a safe and prosperous New Year!
Me to and thanks
That's a nice set up Mike. Much eazyier than a tractor!!Merry Christmas Mike and Family!!
Thanks Toney
That's pretty slick would be nice getting braches off trees on the fence rows for sure
Yes works great
I don't know, but it's interesting watching you do that kind of work, thank you.. :)
Lol thanks
Just goes to show what you can do if you want to. Not every thing has to be store bought to work like a champ. Merry Christmas to the Dirt Perfect household.
Thanks lee same to you guys
Nice! Say, I need to borrow that for about ten minutes one day. Keep up the good work!
Lol sure and thanks
You have created a ride on diesel burning weed eater lol, definitely works well, great job!
Lol true never thought of it like that 😝
Gotta love it when a homemade invention works well.
I used to maintain those by hand. You would need a string weed wacker a metal blade weed wacker a chainsaw, loppers, major pia.
Maintaining streams and ditches is a tough job with or with out the excavator.
You ever think about making a bolt on expanded metal screen to protect you more?
Awesome cam views btw
Yes has crossed my minds and thanks
Fun watching the dirt perfect mulcher
Thanks
This is cool!
Genius attachment adapter Mike!
You should sell the plans for your "long reach" accessory and this reworked bush hog on your website. Very cool ideas that work....lol
Merry Christmas to you and your family from here. Work safe.
Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks Doug and that’s a idea for sure
Works perfectly and there’s nothing to it! Cool under the deck shots!
Found your channel tonight and subbed 👍
I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year ,i have really enjoyed the videos this year keep them coming.👍👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks appreciate that and same to you guys
👍 Nice finish for a bush hog. I guess you could start doing trail, tree, and hedge haircuts if your main gig ever slows.
Lol yup and thanks
This guy is an nut case for working under the active power lines
😂😂😂😂 strong statement for very little info thanks for watching
All the farmers in my area (northeast Florida) have their own rear mount hydraulic ditch bank mowers. Our turn-rows are firm so no worry about sliding into the ditch. If the other side is inaccessible you just scrape it down with the backhoe when you clean the ditch. When I worked on a farm I did wish for a boom mower to trim the tree branches that were on the other side of some ditches. I had to be careful or my sprayer arms would get hung up when I was turning around..
HOOKING CAMERA ON BOTTOM OF DECK ? GENIUS !!! > Thanks Again !!!
Thanks
That was a awesome Idea
Thanks
Nice job Mike! And the worn coupler is nice because it allows the mower to follow the contours of the ground. We used to burn our ditch banks every year but with global warming these days it's kinda frowned upon now, it's a balmy 4° Fahrenheit right now. ;-)
Aside from global warming... you also get more erosion when you burn. I do the job he’s doing with my weedwhacker... trying to figure out how to adapt it to my baby backhoe after seeing this!
Thanks Clyde
@@DirtPerfect You betchya.
@@sassafrasvalley1939 that may be on hillsides and what not but our farm and the whole valley itself was really flat and when we'd burn our irrigation ditches and stubble fields and I'm taking around 2,000 acres just on our farm there was no erosion at all. The roots would still be intact in the ground afterwards and everything would be green again in no time. Our soil was also very heavy.
Clyde Acor yup that’d do it. Here in the Ozarks... the soil is so poor and hilly that only the bottoms have top soil... you know, the soil from up top...
Have a safe and Merry Christmas.
Great video 👍👍
Thanks buddy
Works pretty well.
Yes very happy with it
10:50 now I know what it feels like to be a mouse lol
Lol
Hi that works great . I only have experience with mounting flail mowers , adding a relief line to tank for the free spin after shutdown.
I'm assuming that this stops at shutdown 🤔 🇨🇦 Craig
Yes it is build into the machine
Cool shoot love it 👍😁
Thanks
They make special purpose mowers like this and I’ve seen the State use them on their ROWs. But I’m sure they cost a fortune and this works just fine. Can’t beat ingenuity and a good welder. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄 🎄🤶
Yup about 10k for one got 250 in mine 😁
William Wheeler Totally agree. Learning to weld is one of the most useful skills I have learned.
That’s also the biggest riding mower I have ever seen lol
That bush hog is nice I looks less worn out then your bucket
Lol thanks
Awesome video buddy, fantastic camera angles!
Thanks buddy
The floppy coupler works well here. It allows the brush hog to kinda follow the terrain.
See? It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Exactly 😁
If I remember right the State of New York uses the same idea but on a Grade All to do there freeways.
Awesome
Job well done, that’s a nice little attachment. Found myself wondering if there would be any advantage to a similar setup with a power rake. Great camera shots and drone footage. Take care, merry Christmas.
Thanks Tom and That’s a good ?
You've definitely developed a nice touch with that homemade adapter , keeping it out of the dirt all the time will surely make it live a lot longer ! Fact that the camera survived is pretty impressive , view I don't ever want any one to see any other way !!! Do you have any experience with a drum head /mulching head , I've thought they would be good for field borders by the timbers ?! Thanks for the video and have a fun Christmas !!
Thanks lee and I do not
That's a neet setup you made
Thanks
Merry Christmas
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Exactly
Been looking at doing same thing for a family member.
Worst part is spec hydraulic motor to try an eliminate old gearbox. We are looking at excavator mount like yours an then putting skidsteer mount on the opposite side.
Yup should work good I would think
The hat is a nice touch 👍
Thanks
Good Job👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks 😁
Nice!
Thanks
That was nice man. I’m new here jus subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks and welcome to the channel
good idea but you need a screen in front of you on that cab i dont want to hear about an accident i hit a rock with brush hog threw knife off went sixty to seventy feet be safe merry christmas
Cool video man
Thanks
You should name this toll the TDPBAWW-01 - You figure it out. LOL
LOOKS LIKE FLING ON A LOST DRONE WHEN ITS ON THE BRUSH HOG
Great video Mike, especially under the “hog” they are a tough pice of equipment that will basically break any tractor going.
Love that hat! Where can I get one ? It would freak the guys I work with out 👍
Thanks John and picked up at a local gas station one day
Does an awesome job!! Much easier on the operator than wrangling behind a tractor. Not a surface rock insight on that run.
All of that old dead grass could use a prescribed burn. You would have nice green vegetation growth within a couple of weeks.
I wish that my dad could see some of your rigged attachments he would make some
Lol 😆
She works slick
Yes she does very happy with it
Awesome vid, from the peanut gallery.
On the boom mounted cleanup sweep shot.... Ya missed a few spots 😎
I guess that's what happens when MBTS tain't there 😅😅😅
Go back and do it again for an A+ 😳
Thanks Ronald
That's pretty cool, what if you put that on the end of your boom extension you built? Might have to have an extra hydraulic circuit.
That is possible
I do believe Captain Kleeman could have done it faster with a weed eater... LOL
Lol 😂
yo - DP FANTESTICLE !!! thanks
👍😁
Now that’s a toy I could get to enjoy! I have a pond bank that swallows my tractor every time I try to brush hog it... gonna get my 28” push mower out and figure out how to affix it to the boom of my baby backhoe.... won’t be quite as quick as your 5 footer but would still beat the heck out of a 14” weed whacker!
Mike, would you recommend some welding or do you think I can get by with a couple of hose clamps and brand new baling wire?
Hope you and the fam the Merriest...
Not for sure about hose claps but a few bolts would works I think. And thanks same to you guys
Great vid bud. Perfect fabrication , great attachment. That 120 just keeps on impressing , versatile machine . Got to say the drone shots are awesome along the river. You all blessed to live in such beautiful place. Merry Christmas and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. Thanks for showing buddy.
Thanks Gary
Southern Indiana Engineering rather clever Indeed !
Lol thanks buddy
Mike, it sure beats a hand scythe, Merry Christmas/
Lol yes it does and thanks
Nice gulley hair cut.
😁😝
Looks like your filming a Saw movie.
Lol
