@@LouisianaTractorworks I moved back to La about 25 years ago, I was raised in Vidalia, but moved to Baton Rouge from Ft Worth....the humidity was as insane as I remembered but the crime was higher than dallas and ft worth combined. I came back to Texas after 6 months. I still have very fond memories of growing up in Louisiana but so much has changed since i grew up there. Still a sportsmans paradise though and some great people

I have one built by Howse(no longer in business😔)that I bought in 2013. They called theirs a ridger. It works great. I disk first, then pulverize with the tiller and then make my rows with the ridger. I make a row, go back down with the plow up and then make another row, make a row-skip a row. Look up Web Cajun on here for information about this. I do this with a John Deere 5105 and I will have very close to 5 feet between rows which allows me to get my tiller in there and clean out between rows. Great for a pea or melon patch. We have had so much rain in northeast La. this spring, it may be July before I can get anything planted. I’ve never seen anything like it.

I'm rewatching this to see how u handled installing the quick change bracket, with you having the thumb on the hoe and all. Yeh, looks like unbolting the jaw from telescoping part, right from the start, that's the way to go, I'm gonna do that. Man, I recently did a bunch of stumps at a couple of my neighbors, such a mess/chore with the bucket....I went back to watch the vid how you did nice little cuts with the ripper tooth, zip zip zip.

A couple of observations: 1. This Quick Hitch Adapter looks like a good fit for that particular brush hog, but now you have to remove it the next time you want to use a rake, box blade, ballast box, etc. This adapter doesn't seem to solve the problem of making the quick hitch compatible with every implement. It seems to make it specific to this brush hog and Incompatible with every other implement. 2. Thank you for making the video to try to educate and inform the public, but PLEASE lose the obnoxious music. This is not a music video, please don't try to make it one!

Hey, I have a question for you. First of all, I'm just an urban guy in a rural area with a Massey toy exactly like yours. What would your suggestion be to help carve out a foot path on my property. I pretty much want to easily dig up a three footwide path and then put crush gravel in tamp it down. But what's the easiest way to carve it out?
@LouisianaTractorworks5 ай бұрын
Thank you AMVayanefan! With out knowing what you have for ground,. There is 3 ways I can think of to carve out a path. (1) Box blade if you have one, but that means a four foot wide path because the size of the B.B. (2) Frontend Loader with tooth bar, but again a four foot wide path because that's the size of your FEL bucket. (3) Backhoe, with that you can make it as narrow as you want but it will take practice to get your grade flat & level like you want. I don't know if any of this will be helpful to you. Maybe some of the other guys can chime in on this with more info for you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas with your family! See ya in the next one! P.s If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask, I will do all I can to help!!
