I really enjoyed the video.! I have been living on a rural 10 wooded acres with the house and pole barn in the middle of 3.5 acres of lawn . I have been here 5 years now and I agree with everything you say. Luckily I had my in-laws loan me their riding mower the first few months but it took too long to mow. I ended up getting a good zero-turn and I race through the interior now. I got it on sale for 3500 no interest and it's a mid-range xmark. I highly recommend a zero turn if you have odd shapes or around trees to mow. You can vary your speed and direction instantly and independent of blade speed. It's an incredible improvement even though it was an expensive purchase, but I don't regret it. I also want to mention that I know what you mean about doing the same pattern but it's hard to change when it's the most efficient way you have figured out. So I just change up what order I mow sections of the property. Or like you said, skip a mow on a section one week so that it gets full...without making hay-rows. Oh and not to bust your b**ls but at 6:54 the person cutting is ejecting into the uncut lawn. Shame! Shame! I got a chuckle out of that! Thanks for the video as it's nice to know that others also dwell on how to get the job done efficiently so you can get back to enjoying the property!
Hey, good to hear from you! It sounds like we mow and maintain pretty similar areas, and I certainly envy that zero-turn of yours. It's on my list -- I may sell my riding mower this summer if I can find a good zero-turn second hand. Now, as for 6:54 ... you caught me! The truth is that I always do that when making the first few passes around my house (to keep the clipping from spraying the house itself). I find that a pass or two doesn't bog things down too badly. Take care! :)
Lengthening your top link on your three-point hitch will allow your brush hog to follow your land contour better and keep the tail wheel on the ground.
You're absolutely right! After posting this video, I received that suggestion and made the change ... the cut is now lower and more weight is on that wheel, not the link. Thanks!
I think you should have included a bit on how to set up the 3 point hitch to your rotary cutter properly. Also need to mention the hazard of crossing gullies at 90 degrees. You can compress your linkage enough to break parts.
Tip #4, yeah, i disobey that rule religiously, newspaper? beer cans? neighbors victoria secret magazine? i run it over and over and over until its nothing but victoria secret mulch.
my family owns 50 acres of land and idk much about how to maintain it. im 24 and i will eventually inherit it and i don’t want to sale it, could you give me some suggestions/ or direct me to some more resources on how to maintain it?
Sounds like a good spread! Basic maintenance can usually be accomplished with a simple set of tools: chainsaw, mower, shovels. It all depends on what kind of land you have and what you're doing with it. One bit of advice: keep what's cleared cleared. Good luck!
Damn! You are making me give up the idea of buying and living in a large rural property, way too much work mowing. I was hoping to be able to mow once a year with a trimmer! Lol! Maybe filling everything with pine trees would kinda fix the problem!
@@sdfsdfs13 Yeah, we love this property ... the nearest neighbor is not that far away along the road (500 feet or so from the house), but the property goes way back and has a lot of places where no one is anywhere nearby

Shalom! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Blessings to you and yours!
Thanks!
Good job mate. Thanks for your suggestions.
Happy mowing, man
Just found you today... Thumbs up and subscribed!
Thanks for watching and big thanks!
Tip#22 since its not 1969 make a small investment in a cordless saws all.
Just got my first one as a gift! I’m a late adopter in general, but that thing is great!

Great points. For the next video, I guess ... thanks man
4:44 I missed the tip on disabling the reverse mowing safety feature. :D
My mower has both modes: no reverse or reverse mowing enabled, but I know they don't all work that way
@@metaspencer At least there is an option and you're allowed to make the choice.
Where do you live and how often do you mow your fields per season?
This is in upstate NY and the fields are usually mowed 2 or 3 times a year
Tip #4, yeah, i disobey that rule religiously, newspaper? beer cans? neighbors victoria secret magazine? i run it over and over and over until its nothing but victoria secret mulch.
Well, that sounds fun. Confetti
surley is
Cans especially you never know where youll find it again
Just purchased 13 acres and it is covered with brush and black berry bushes. What would be best machine to use to clear paths etc...
Bush hog will take care of it for sure ... clear that land and you're gonna be very happy!
Flail mower for sure! You can cut grass and brush. Way better cut than a rotary cutter for sure!
@@lightning7582 You like it more than the HOG? Okay, to each his or her own :)

It does take some time!
@@metaspencer I envy your peace, it's great! How far is your nearest neighbor? Can you get internet there? Good life man.

Have you ever been abducted by space aliens while mower them fields and then asked the space aliens could you mow their grass on their planet ?
+Tom Green ... how did you know? Seriously... how?
I'm from Alabama that stuff happens all the time round these parts
I am not a tractor expert by no means, but do those old tractors ever die, because you always see those things on farms still running...
hard to kill them for sure! I've got two from the '60s and they're awesome
280 acres but I love to just check out peoples techniques
Sounds like a nice spread
CRANK your RPMS up
You like to hear it BRING THE THUNDER. Yeah, it's pretty sweet that way
