Almost certainly Sir.

Hi Rodney, Yes It is driven by a Cat 299D and a Brush cutter we modified is a Cat BR378, The width of the deck is 7' and the length is 96". Hope you enjoyed.

[@suebritz4018]

Was all the debris raked up & hauled away? How'd you do that (if it was done at all) ? I'd love to buy one & have my son & nephew do the work- they'd love it! But I'd want it all picked up, hauled away & area ready for regular mowing. Any insights on how to do that, please? Thank you

Wonder what those field dividers were originally for?

[@Andrezzz2u]

Hi Blair, At one time, back in the 50's I was a 30 acre chicken ranch and has been a mushroom farm since then. They use these fields now for dispersing their ponds so the growth here is only 3-4 months worth. Thanks for asking.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

3-4 months worth!!!! Holy cow.

[@wpog8453]

@@AdamSmith-uv6kr 6 ft. High weeds is a bit more than 3-4 months growth from a clean mow but yeah... it grows quick.

[@mshermanwest]

Why are you not using continuous flow?

[@Andrezzz2u]

Hey Matthew, I am using continuous flow also when irrigation pipes are not exposed I don't keep the throttle up above 2200 rpm's and you hear the brush cutter lowering rpm's for a reason. The reason being that this hill might look flat but there are sharp dips and rises all over this mushroom farm. This growth you see is only 4 months prior to the last cutting.

[@sammason7535]

Would you please put you cameras higher up or on a tripod thanks

[@OGSnoberry]

@@Andrezzz2u I think he means the loose bolts sitting on the deck in the lower right hand side.

[@Andrezzz2u]

Hey Snoberry, That is a #2 grade 1/2" X 4" old shear bolt that connects the hydraulic drive motor to the gearbox, probably from another job, when they go, the blades stop turning but good eye, I didn't even see it.

[@cathiwim]

How do you know where those pipes are on the ground so you dont run over them?

[@Andrezzz2u]

Sometime we map the irrigation from the air with the aid of our drones prior to starting, so it gives us a "general" grid of the irrigation, usually they hand cut a 4' buffer from the pipes before we start but in this case they didn't, Thanks for askin Catcher

[@brianblosser7339]

Slow down? Any slower then ya gonna have Grass flavored Jamba Juice running down the hill..... Trust me, In 3 months it'll look just like this again, then I'm gonna kick myself in the azz for listening to you. :) Seriously though, Every 3 months we cut this hillside and they have to shut all the valves down and stop operation while we do this, so they want it done a fast as possible.

[@frankorosz901]

Should have brought in a herd/flock of goats.

[@jaykneegarner2479]

Frank Orosz hemlock is toxic to all animals goats included! 30 acres of the stuff is enough to kill a thousand goats! Spray it, pull and dispose, or keep it cut way back not allowing it time to flower/grow much is the only way to control it! Need a machine designed to pull it out root included to get that much pulled.

[@Andrezzz2u]

Indeed Jayknee is correct, the only way we're able to do this is because the machine have a pressurized cabin.
