Our neighbor cut our 1 acre pasture with his big-ole bat-wing mower. Took less than 10 minutes, and hundreds of little trees were turned to mulch. It's an awesome machine.
I like when he says "You okay?"
IKR thats like my favorite part
Same
Thunder ⛈!!!!!!!
Best part of my day!
"You ok?"
I am now!
Me 3!!
Watching those kids having a blast on that atv puts a smile on my face
Yeah me too, and makes me kinda jealous that i had only a simple Kettcar as a kid. XD
I've been watching these videos for awhile by Minnesota, probably because of my life history with farming over many years. My best high school friend died a couple of weeks ago. We both grew up on a farm near Corunna, Michigan. We went off to school. I got drafted into the Army, sent to Vietnam, and blown up. My friend went into the Army came back, got married, and had 3 beautiful girls. One of his daughters died from cancer 18 months ago leaving behind 3 young children. Watching Minnesota's family growing up reminds me of my family and my friend's family. Time goes so fast. My friend was a field representative of Case Tractor for 35 years. He covered states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and others. He loved his God, Country, and Family. Minnesota might not read this, but for posterity I wanted to remember a dear life long friend with a beautiful family. What can I say after a 60 year friendship? Cherish every second. MF, your family is very precious, my sincerest regards.
Really sad for your loss.
Listen I’m not a framer by far but I use to pass by a lot of Farm on my route. But I have a lot of respect for all framer for what all you guys do. Now for u sir thanks keep me interested in what you have going on
I never get tired of the " Hey, are you ok?"
My dad used to work for woods. They have a beautiful production facility in central Illinois. He was a welder on the batwing mowers.
Dipsticks on the gear cases? I am impressed!! And there was actually oil in them.
gotdeeres Our bushhog 2815MD has sight glasses for each gearbox
Sight glass will lie in a hearrt beat
Reese McClain vf
You never want to assume that new equipment has oil in the gear case. Ask me how I know that? I like the site tube idea.
If you don’t find oil on the dip sticks.....then order longer dip sticks.....thought you were a millennial
It’s encouraging to hear you say things are looking good. Thank you
You the man Zach! Farming is in my blood too. Started watching all your videos and it never gets old. I always liked thrashing corn and beans. I love your equipment you and your Dad have, smart choices. My Dad passed away a few years ago and we farmed next to each other when I was growing up. We farmed in Michigan different conditions but all else the same. I still could jump in the tractors and go. Jim and I could share stories. Please keep explaining your craft I love it. John Deere all the way. I wish I could do more to promote just how much you learn about life while taking the huge risk you take to invest in the soil and seeds to make a living. You have it figured out man!
Man full throttle those girls are taking after there dad need for speed how fun
3:18 Thank-you for putting my sibling back in the grass. It is our happy place.
Possible solution for displaying the flag, place some mounting brackets on a few implements for a flag. Your fields are miles apart and more community patrons will enjoy.
Nice new mower, but now will be more work, that's the way it works when you have a new machine isn't it? Greato see the girl having fun.
I am sooo glad you let us know you where wearing shorts. Could not for the life of me figure out why your legs disappeared ever time you walked across the shop floor. Might want to get a little color on those things . Wink,wink, nudge,nudge
We aren’t getting a lot of rain down here. Actually it’s so dry our grass is turning brown. Your kids will enjoy the razor!
I was brush hogging for 2 days. Neighbors are happy I did there field. I had my oldest son and his friend mow there yard. We said no $$$$ cause they help us around here.
Down here in Louisiana, 70° weather is considered cool weather. In fact, people here. Wear pants and long sleeves. We currently have 92°. I can always tell a northerner in winter, they are the ones not in winter coats. We only have a few days where it is actually cold, 20s or low 39s.
You know you are in minnesota when the farmers have their long johns on under their shorts ;)
For this thing, it is very important to turn the PTO on and off only at low engine speeds. And also be sure to turn off the PTO when turning. I repaired driveshafts and damaged gearboxes break when used improperly.
The PTO jack thing is a freakin' awesome idea. Wish our mower had one.
Love woods. They are made in my home town of Oregon Illinois. Even though Illinois sucks.
Donta... I'm from Oregon also..... 2nd. st.
I love them too.
I make a lot of money fixing them
is there a great big indian looking over the river in Oregon, il? Blackhawk maybe? hope the liberals haven't pulled him down yet.
@@firstname6208 yes Blackhawk is still standing. They just got done repairing him so he could stand for many more years!!! I camp at the state park he's located at. Lowden state park. We love our history around here. John Deere made the first non stick plow 15 miles south of Oregon. His blacksmith shop still stands and is showed off along with the rest of the property he had. Wonderful place.
I know how it is to be proud. My 8yo son has taken a liking to running our mini excavator. He's getting good!
You SHOULD be proud. Seeing those two little ones rippin' around on the Razor is about the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time! So jealous - I wished I had kids.
And you might be from Minnesota if you call the 70's "hot." hahaha
Last time I saw legs like that they where hanging out of a nest!
Nestling or dinner to be?
comm1508 dang it this was so funny I choked while eating my tatters and corn.
Batwing is awesome!!
I’ve never used a Woods mower but they seem pretty nice. I’d buy one. One thing I definitely prefer about them over Bush Hog is that the deck is basically just a big flat piece of steel. Bush Hog’s have all kinda humps and ridges everywhere that collect grass and make it a pain to blow off. That Woods mower probably wouldn’t have much grass on the deck at all. Even after a full day of cutting. Dipsticks instead of level plugs to check oil in gearboxes is nice too.
Thanks for understanding the importance of that clutter-free deck! We were the first to introduce a clean, sloped-top deck back in 1993.
When we were growing up, my dad always told us that picking a rock up like that will cause all of your babies to be born "Naked"! And for that mini 4 wheeler and "Doughnuts" , our power play things always came with a garden rake to fill in the holes and slide marks in the driveway. Seriously, we quickly learned to stop doing those fun things. I love the new equipment but it"s all downhill after you get the first scratch on it! Love all of the videos!
Kids were cute tearing up the dirt. Wow, big job for Becky.
Starting to be a great weekend. Millennium Farmer! Yesss!
Amazing how much I learn about farming watching these !
When we got our Woods Batwing we ordered it for 1000 PTO. It would wear out the wing blades in about two hours. After three sets of blades, we found out that a 540 splitter gearbox was installed by accident so the wing blades were running about twice as fast as they should have been. They fixed it though. Good mower now!
The gals don't like long, dark socks but when working in the dirt that is the way to go.
You will love that mower. We have a 20 footer and it will take care of 5in trees with ease.
Happy Birthday to her.
Heart wrenching to watch a Mellennial struggle and sweat......😁
Also, @5:18 in the background, your single phase transformer box is sloping. Those boxes have a very toxic oil in them that will kill everything around it. I would keep at least 2-3ft clearance around that box at all times. I used to inventory and open those boxes for awhile. Just my opinion but i have seen what happens when they overgrow. Actually, i have photos still lol. i could send you and show you them.
I see a lot of Traffic Tickets in Onyx Future LOL
That’s a big orange mower right there
We bought a Woods mower years ago. It’s just the greatest.
The Donald thanks you for keeping those tires looking new. Now go mow The White House lawn with that Woods mower.
So so proud
"If it ain't a Woods it ain't a Bat Wing!" Wood mowers are the best! But i might be biased cause i sell them lol.
Field mower not a ditch mowers you hook one unmarked culvert or going over an approach aced hook the culvert you rip there back end right off
We used Woods 20 ftrs in the 80s with JDs and best we found on highways and side roads. Took everything we gave em used 6 ftrs for small work and did fine. Ditch work.bankwork.imclines.heavy weeds.did all we asked and f em and low maintenance. Most work was grinding blades and keep in cutting order
Rswany16 I sell both Woods and Bushog but I think Woods is the best for sure Bushog makes decent stuff too though
I agree to disagree bush hogs are the best
I agree! but i might be bias as well cause im a woods driver an i haul em!!
Glad im not the only one bitchin about mowing when its windy
Must be very satisfying standing in the middle of those fields overlooking your kingdom.
We have a bat wing topper, it's a beast. Like 15ft cut, it's great, only issue we had, the prop shaft u/j has movement in, after 100hrs. But they are great.
Make sure the youngster searches that crp for deer sheds before you mow them over. I bet if that's the only cover around those big fields it might have a few laying in there👍
that manual tube was very cool wish everything was like that
Such a cool dude and a cool dad as well! Whenever in Vegas would love to buy you a beer!
We invested in wood equipment and they are fabulous pieces of machinery
Its gonna be 94 tomorrow here in west Ky. It goes from highs in the upper 50s and wet to hot and dry. Had to replant most of the corn. Normally corn is starting to tosseling in the 3rd-4th week of June here. Lot of corn is just now spiking out of the ground.
I use to build/weld those things in Oregon,Illinois back in the 90's
######ReGen Mode###### - That's the light on dash you indicated. John Deere Skid Steer went into ReGen mode to burn off sut in filter. You have to let run. It will stop automatically. You cut it off though. You can start a park ReGen. It has to run at high a rpm to build up the temperature to burn off the build-up in the filter. If you don't complete the ReGen it will cause a major engine issue. Just if no one commented to assist. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼On your channel.
PTO's seem to me to be the thing which needs improvement on tractors. We got electronic engines, gps, electronic machine height adjustment, only the pto is still hard to attach.
Your my favourite American farmer your the best and teach the best of farming in America
I like when he was reading the manual
Woods mowers cut nice, and they rock!!! Well, . . . at least when you run one. Just kidding, I feel the pain of dented blades too.
just got the woods BW12 last week. so far its been a complete joy to mow with.
7:50 Push down on it and slip it on. Thats what she said. Sorry its like 'hey are you okay', cant help yourself.
You do a great job at farming
We have used woods batwing mowers as a stalk chopper for the last 30 years on corn. They work great. only issue is trash buildup on top but cleans off easy.
I own a woods and man that thing is indestructible it was an old state mower and was dirt cheap and ragged out but still cuts better than a new deere
"We can't have anything nice?" My baby boomer father said that growing up my whole life. Could've gone not hearing that the rest of my life.
My family farm has a woods batwing mower and they are excellent mowers
"We just can't have nice things!" Nice mower. Watch out for rocks and other solid objects! They weren't black tourist socks. Rhiannon is getting a lead foot like her brother--and maybe even her Dad--hmmm? Glad she's getting a chance to run the toys too.
......[Becky's lead foot....🤷😉🤔]👍
The way you reviewed the bat wing instruction manual cracked me up. I think that’s about the amount of time I would’ve spent with it. The toss at the end was a nice touch.
Nice to see something positive with all the negative things right now
Ive got a Woods.....Mow'n Machine lol Idk what year it is. Maybe 80s. My back up mower cuz I baby my Deere 318 😎
Wow.looks like a really nice heavy duty mower. Happy birthday to the young one. What a great little four wheeler for them to enjoy. Glad to see them wearing the helmets.
Keep coming with the great videos. Grew up on 600 acre irrigated farm in Washington State. Owner of Trucking Company in Maine last 35 years and now retired in New York State. Been following you for last two years.
I sell both Woods and Bushhog. Both are good mowers but I think the Woods cut quality is the best out there
Very impressive "Batwing" mower. And that dent in the blade means it's broken in now. Plus Zack,You don't have to worry now about someone else denting the blades. Very Cool birthday present. Happy Birthday,Rhiannon. Drive the wheels off it. They grow up so fast !!!
Those Woods mowers r good solid units 👍! Your gonna be tearing crap with that! Cheers 🍻 from Prairie Sunset Ranch ☀️
That is a Paul Bunyan brush hog. Sweet sassafras that would make a hay of some kind wouldn't it or is it just better for the ground to go back where it came from. I used to rake the weeds that had a lot of seed and it did help to slow down the regrowth of weeds to where it was manageable.
wonder how soon it'll be that Zach and Becky are woken up at 2 am by the sounds of the kids sneaking out and taking the new toy for a spin. Looks like they are having the time of their lives on it. Great present !!!!
When you pickedthat big rock up I groaned out loud :-)
That is a beautiful piece of equipment and 🚜 as well.
Nice farm,, use to work on a dairy farms by Padua MN. Your dog has it nicer than most homeless people
5:44 here in the Texas panhandle it’s been mid to high 90s recently I wish it was in the seventies.
I was just fixin to say the same thing, except for it's been that same way here in Mississippi
I was starting to get worried that you got to Hollywood on us and wasn't going to be able to flip the PTO 🤪 but you came through and didn't let me down and the rest of the half a million subscribers. I have been with you since you had 1500 subscribers never thought it would grow this fast but glad it did you do awesome job and have alot of fun and that's where alot of other channels miss that AB line
Zach sure can tell you haven't been to the gym in a while. Watching the girls racing around on the yard I love it. " Like Father like daughters " Happy racing weekend Zach !
Hey Zach: 70 degrees! Wow.... Would be a January day here in Tampa..... You need to wear sandals with your cargo shorts and long Millenial socks(white of course!). Captain Al from Tampa😎
Nice Dad socks.
Those shorts with long socks... 😎
It's a good idea to clean it before you slip it in!!!
Enjoy your videos ,you all certainly stay busy .I am also A HUGE VIKINGS FAN who lives in south central Pa .Keep up the vids and ill watch em
I have a woods bush bull 3 points hitch and I have put that brush mower though a lot of stuff and still going
Beast of a sprayer
Please clarify with your viewers that it’s best to always shut the tractor engine off when working around, connecting or disconnecting PTO shafts. Tractor PTO clutches can accidentally engage.
Rubbin is racing. Come on Cole Trickle!!
You need some Air Monarchs to go with those shorts and socks to complete the look.
2 years of fighting mud in upstate New York this year has been a good dry one and I’ll take it
The ending was funny. We all know who's going to be getting the pool ready...
A pool company.
Tired old mechanic my man 😂
Becky and I tackled the project together this week. Kids are happy
We have one of those woods mowers, just a tad bigger. It’s a great mower. The slip clutches in the old one’s were not very good but so far it seems they made an improvement.
Thanks for noticing, Pete! We are always testing and improving our Batwing cutters.
When teaching me to bush hog, my uncle reassured me often. "You run one long enough, you're gonna hit something, just how it goes." Nothing a little grinding can't help with to keep you cutting till you gotta replace'em. ;)
Also. I imagine the Woods manual scene went like this mentally: "...I better show them I'm checking the gearbox oil, or that'll be the only comments I get."
We run a jd hx14 on either a 4640 or 8235r, depending on job and if the r is available, and that’s very true. I shred our barditches every summer among other jobs and have run into a few things over the years but no major damage.
Happy times spraying , love the bat wing mower , great video
Sprayer looks lush. ATV great fun, oh, and love the pool/decking.
The kids ripping around in the background was awesome.
weve had a bat wing for about 5 years now and it is still running great
Keep those PTO clutches on hand. You won’t regret it
Our local township bought one of these Woods mowers.
I just spent 2 days fixing the cracked frame.
The main frame components need to be made from heavier material.
But that's ok, I'm just getting my tax money back and then some.
Woods offers a range of Batwing cutters with different weights and for different uses. Deck thicknesses range from 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch -- we're pretty sure we're the only one's with 1/4-inch deck thickness.
Was like. "Why is he having a hard time with that rock?" Then I see hes got the shorts with long socks needing a spring loaded PTO shaft holder. Lol. It all makes millennial sense. Haha.
