I watch all your videos and my hat is off to you for what you’re doing and how steep the ground is, I do a lot brush hogging as well, on steep ground and i have to most up and down and I have some videos of mine and like yours it never does justice to how steep it really is always enjoy you work so please keep the videos coming, God Bless
Total respect for the man running this rig. But I wouldn't be the camera guy. Was watching my dad bushhog something like this from 50 ft away. He hit a hidden fence line and a piece of barb wire zinged by me like shrapnel. After we untangled everything I went to the truck.
Not only is it steep, ( it is very steep) not only is it rough, ( it is very rough) but you can’t see what is underneath all the brush. (Could be a tractor size hole) . That’s some tough equipment, and a tougher man operating it. Be safe! I guarantee you I wouldn’t even think of doing that.
Randall, I’ve watched your videos from the getgo. Given the stuff you cut, I wasn’t sure it was your property or you hired out. Though I like the Ford, I do hope that big green machine is making you some big greenbacks!
Can you give me the advantages of the boom style duals in this type of terrain over the axle mount. Trying to decide how to set my tractor up. I do not mow anything close to the stuff you do but have some pond banks that get pretty nasty at times. Thanks
Hello, I’ve never used the axle mount before and never seen on any tractors around where I live that bush hogs steep ground, I’ve only seen axle mount like in fields roll cropping, it seems like to me the axle mount duals when on steep ground it would be putting all the pressure and the weight of the tractor on the center of the dual wheels which would cause the center dishes to crack versus the boom style which attaches to the rim surface on the T-rail if this makes any sense how I tried to describe it lol and the reason I’m saying this is for instance my inside wheel dishes often crack or burst a couple a year and this would be like mounted to the axle as well so what I’m saying is if you do the axle mount for steep ground you would have 2 dishes on each side taking on a lot of pressure and that’s what you don’t want, the duals to me now is the only way to go and I have never cracked and dual wheel or T-rail on any of my duals but now when it comes to the back inside dishes I’ll say a ball park figure that I’ve busted or cracked 30+ in my time I’ve done hillside work and as far as the dual’s go there so much easier to install versus the axle type and I can say this if you have like a 70 hp tractor and down use at least 4 booms per wheel but now if you have a big size heavy tractor I would recommend 8 per wheel because it will pay off in the long run and one more thing if anyway possible try to buy some that has the least spacing that you can cause there so much easier on the tractor than the wider spacing ones and the closer you can get in between the tires you will have a lot less rocks that they pick up and wedge in between the tires, maybe what I’ve described to you helps out and makes sense on my behalf lol,stay safe and best of luck, Randal….

That’s pretty steep. This guy has balls of steel.
Can I suggest taking the camera off zoom in or using a tripod? The shaking is giving me a headache
