@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I would guess Josh, perhaps mount them to a 2" square tubing frame that could go around your flale and be pin removeable. just an idea.

I'm a big fan of TYM tractors have a 754 and it will outdo my friends 97hp John Deere. It is the first cabbed tractor I ever owned and I have taken the doors off and run with the back glass open, can't stand not hearing the machinery, wish it was available in open station but that's the only gripe I have with it in almost 6 years so I am doing great
Man....I wear hearing protection with the cab doors closed....protect your ears my brother.....if you can't hear what's going on...there may be a hearing problem lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer only thing I wear earplugs for is the haybine doing it 60years and zero hearing loss so I must be doin something right, still they are darned good tractors but I wish the bigger sizes did have open station ROPS I admit to being the oddball , I don't use AC either
If you have a tractor that has a float on the three point you let the mower float on the ground. Ground speed fast enough to load the mower makes the product stay in the mower longer and mulches finer. And it you stay away from tree branches to not scratch tractor and come back the other way you clean under the branches that need trimmed up by standing the mow up and clear them backto make another pass trimming backmore.
I have one of these and love the results. What I had added was a float on the control for the head angle, that way you can put it in float and let the roller on the back control the pitch back and forth for the level. Just pull it up off the float for cornering or when you lift the mower.
Farming is hard work, never doubt that, but modern machinery like that tractor sure makes it a lot easier on the body. The old style tractors without a closed cabin saved your muscles. This one saves your back with it's gas hydraulic seat suspension and your lungs with the filtered ventilation system. It doesn't make farming simple or easy, but every bit helps.
On my tractor if you push the hydraulic lever all the way forward it locks it into “free flow” so you don’t have to continuously adjust the mower. Hope this was helpful.
That Maschio (Our local dealers pronounce it as Mashy-oh) is just the tool we need right here, but our biggest tractor is only just about big enough to drive it. Form our point of view, we can't really justify the cost of the machine for our own use, so if we went that route, it would need to pay for itself, but it looks just ideal for what we need to do to clear our neglected areas.
@@jerryanderson9502 Fun? They stated that they did not have the equipment to do the job and could not justify the cost of equipment. I have a niece and nephew in NC who have earth moving and mowing equipment and they work out on farmland all the time mowing and bulldozing. They even mow small airports.
I've seen it's predecessor, and logged a lot of 9 years on it... these things are AWESOME!! Does yours have a roller on it (that red thing, behind and to the left of the blades)? IF, you tilt the axis up in the front and use that roller MORE, you won't have to feather it SO MUCH (IT WILL MULCH / TILL the soil) but be prepared for any boulders / objects, THAT'S where your attention should be, with your hand on the lever to raise it, ONLY THEN. My pro tip. (btw, I probably, personally, wore out / down, round 300-600 of those small flails, and replaced / sharpened them, myself). HINT. Maintain PTO output speed, but, slow tractor speed for better performance, to hopefully prevent 're-cutting' aka double effort. Oh, and insure we check that gearbox oil / seals and pto sleeve often and grease appropriately.
That is one sweet tractor & mower hook up! It’s literally eating small trees! You could make short work of what would take other small machines weeks to do, it’s done in a few hours. Let’s not forget all the damage it would do on regular landscaping Equiptment.
Used a flail mower on the farm when I was a kid; we pulled it behind the Farmall M or Allis Chalmers WD45 that thing would chew up and spit out everything...
Get yourself a decent contractor. Today I had a two acre apple orchard with old grass mowed with a flail mower in no time. What a hassle to do it with my tiny machine. All the best
Cool to see the big brother of our little TYM 40hp open cab 4wd tractor in use on the other side of the world. We've had ours for over 20yrs and got to have the engineers from TYM come out to see us use it about 6 mths after we got it. They were very impressed if a little cautious to let us know to put more oil in if we were to continue using it on the "big mountain". Ours is set to full width and the tyres are 1/2 to 3/4 filled with water because we live in the hills (your mates hills and valleys are like our flats). Have always wanted a flail mower to deal with regrowth and weeds.
I have a broom strapped to the boom that I use for clearing the rotary deck, windows, and I have a hand brush and broom in the cab for clearing the grill and the radiator screens. Out here in Texas i the summer, the tractor keeps cool until 94 F usually. I take a break and brush off the grill and the hydraulic cylinders from time to time. Then maybe twice a day pull the radiator screens and clean them out. I really like that off-set flail you have. That would work real great close to fences compared to our JD MX10 rotary.
I'm glad to see this video I just got a flail mower and it pulverizes everything that gets in it's path and much easier on my tractor then a rotary mower and easier to manuver
I just about spit out my lunch when I saw him cutting those beautiful pines!! 😢. I would’ve gladly drove out and dug em up for him to transplant at my place. 😏
Oh, Josh, 😊 I’m not picking on you at all. It’s your property and you certainly have a plan. I’m the same. I like to use pines for wind and snow breaks. Also like to mix pines with the birch and poplar in our area. And.... I have to pay $50-$75 a tree that size. 😭😂
I'm sure his farm is like mine. If you turn your back for a minute on a field it will sprout pines and cedars. I let them have about 8 acres. The pines and Sassafras come in first and eventually shade out the blackberry briers. Then hardwoods will start to grow up between the pines and take over.
I have a 8’ mover with those hammerheads. I move ca 2 acres on one hour with my 100 HP John Deer and using the float option. Trees up to 2-2.5”, no problem. Also no problem driving the power transmission on the economic option
I have a 474 as well. What are you doing for rear remotes? I was looking into a 4 pair add on block of remotes. Just need to find a place to put it. Love the tractor but it is pretty compact back there by the 3 point.
@@DonnieDarko727 none at all. Great unit for the price in my opinion. Just got a jd 4066m at work and although the fit and finish is nicer on the jd. I would still take the tym over it.
@@DonnieDarko727 basically price. I love older John Deere stuff. I'm not sure so much about the newer equipment. The problem is it takes years of use to really know how good or bad something is. Comparing my 474 with the new 4066. No brainer saving 20k or so.
And, on today's installment of stuff I desperately need, but can't begin to work into the budget.... I really wish there was somewhere to rent a mower like that. Only need it like one weekend a year. Old Dracula country tractor and bushhog can cope with the rest.
A lot of people don’t know that even your regular brush hogs, not the cheapo junk you buy at Tractir supply, but the mid to upper grade ones are capable of mowing stuff up to 2-3 inches thick.
That's why they have the reverse air flow on some equipment it blows the debris back off of the grill.(How well it really works?? I don't know) Nice job on the field looks good. I believe a flail is the way to go. It can take the place of a finish mower in my opinion.
I really like that . You could save money and use all the power you are putting out by using the full width of the mower . I always have to tell whoever is help[ing me out on the farm to move over and use the full width of the mower , unless you are bogging down the tractor. Just a sugesstion
Just wanted to let you know on the video .......the little white puffs of smoke behind the flail mower , those are smaller rocks disintegrating👍 .... But all in all Josh great job
Never hurt cutting blades on the German fralmower hammers 🔨 where the blades he cut acerd of edge rocks it was about 20k for 6ft cut indestructible had to have 80 pto hp. To run it.we scratched blades but never had to sharpen or replace a blade or get wires raped upside of cutters.
Hey man, how have you been doing? I have been watching your clips for a few years now. I remember our conversation about the Kioti 7320 tractor. To my disappointment, I have found that just about all tractors have low-capacity hydraulic pumps by design. I am pissed off big time because most of the attachments require hi-flow pumps which are not available on tractors. I found this to be dubious by design. I wanted to purchase the Kioti 7320 and I wanted to attach a forestry mulcher to it. however, the mulcher requires 40-50 gpm pump. Man I don't understand why they won't allow you put the hi-flow pump on the 7320 sz tractor, other than money. So I drive my azz over to the ASV dealer in Houston which only has one dealer. They wanted 150k for the skid steer and another 40k for the mulcher. Over 200K out the door. I truly feel that these guys all collude to rig the game. I am a union electrician retiring this year. It seems to me that whatever pump you can put on the ASV 130 TRAC LOADER you should be able to bolt on that Kioti tractor, fill up the tires with water, and kick azz in the field. Its a rigged game out here man, What do you think?
I bought a cheap chinese verge (ditch flail mower) last year and it didn't make it an hour of mowing. I have a new 70inch one on the way, hopefully it lasts a while! Looks good, jealous of the big tractor!
I believe the used Titan 165 I have is the same basic mower, so I was concerned when I bought it. My dealer said if I had any problems they would give me my money back. So far it has run great. I did have to adjust the roller so I could get a grease gun on the zerks. I'm going to make sure its stays greased really good. As long as the hydraulics hold up, I think it will be fine.
Josh save yourself some work in the future and mount some wheels on either side of your flale mower.
I'm not sure a wheel would hold up brotha....it would have to be really heavy duty
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I would guess Josh, perhaps mount them to a 2" square tubing frame that could go around your flale and be pin removeable. just an idea.

That was probably pretty decent habitat for quail, turkeys, and doe’s with fawns.

Very good job Josh that mower cuts good nice tractor too buddy thanks for sharing
Are you using only 4’of the 7’ so the tractor will handle it?
Great video bro! Love the before and after footage. The mower/tractor combo is a work horse.
A lot of people don’t know that even your regular brush hogs, not the cheapo junk you buy at Tractir supply, but the mid to upper grade ones are capable of mowing stuff up to 2-3 inches thick.
But this can be pulled offset so the tractor doesn’t have to roll over it before mowing!
I mow larger than that with my tractor and Bush hog.
The superiority of the cut over a bush hog is amazing but I would get tired of that feathering business in a hurry.
can't mow without a little precision to keep things dialed in buddy
Nice job!
I always thought tym was a cheap made tractor but it looks like it’s handling well for you so far
They had been making the low horsepower New Holland and Case tractors...same thing just different badging. Not sure if that is still the case or not.
I just honestly wished I was your farming neighbours!
Honestly I mean it. If I could get the land I will have to resign to take my family along.And just focus on organic farming.

Ghosts running for their lives. Just joking. Have great day.
I would say they are probably ant hills. We have them everywhere and that is what they look like when I run over them.
common in the uk we use them for hedge cutting as well
