[@stevenpage8847]

Geez all the Karens in comments. Why? Great video. This is what I need. Will be renting one soon. Thanks

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

LOL hahah good morning Steven , thank you! Its a great machine and has no issue clearing an area quick!! I hope you enjoy your machine.

[@paulper6603]

That things a beast, great way to get your steps in also

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Yes Paul this Billy Goat is a beast and if your looking to get 10-15k steps this machine will help you do so😂.

[@rayhayden]

Excellent video! Thank you very much for sharing this information!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon rayhayden I am sorry for the delayed response. Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking time out of your day to not only watch but commenting as well!

[@groundpounder24365]

Billy goat makes some bulletproof machines.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning GP this is the second time we rented it and both times we were impressed!

[@wv-fisherman5049]

I'm going to find out next week. I have a job. That s about 1.5 acres that hasn't been touched since this time last year and absolute jungle mostly thistles about 4 feet tall. If it survives I will be absolutely impressed

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

@@wv-fisherman5049 good morning WV I think it will! The first time we rented one we cleared the top clover plot. That was over grown with small 1-2” trees, vines, thorn/ berry bushes. It’s a great machine. Good luck!

You may want to use PPE to protect your eyes and hearing.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning Brucetourville , you are 100% correct I am not sure if I had my helmet, ears, shield combo at this time. But moving forward I will make sure to have it on. Thank you Bruce for not only taking the time out of your morning to watch but to comment. Joe

[@taylorclarkjohnson]

Awesome. That thing is a beast. I was trying to figure out what to rent to clear my field in a couple weeks, and this video helped me decide. Thank you. Cheers from Asheville!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon Taylor I'm happy this helped you out! How did you like it? Sorry for the late response, we rented the Billy Goat from Sunbelt Tool Rentals. They seem to have the best rental prices and newest machines in the Piedmont/Greensboro area. One of my best friends moved to Asheville and she loves it!

[@walterholbrooks673]

Nice video. Really enjoyed the mow.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good evening Walterhbrooks, I do apologize for the late response I do not know why the comments on older videos do not show right away! I really appreciate you taking time out of your day not only watch but to comment. Thank you so much. Joe

[@TomSarelas]

Good son. TFS

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Thank you! I would love to buy one of these machines! I have been looking for one used since they are super expensive.

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

I have a fence around a pasture. The brush has almost over taken the fence. I’m going to rent one and try it before the weather gets too hot.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning mtweathernetreportsblogslot, you will not be disappointed, this machine works great! Thank you for watching

[@danbalser8161]

Nice machine! Luckily I dont need one, but it worked great for you. Do you have snakes there? NC has copper heads, and rattlers I would not enjoy clearing out those woods that much. Great editing too! Keep at it the place is coming along nicely.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon Dan, thank you I have been trying to do a better job with my editing. Yes we have seen 1 copper head and 5 black snakes so far this year. We noticed if we turn the machines on vibrate the ground before we work we don't run into any.

[@kennethkirkham2471]

How well does it handle rocks?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

@@kennethkirkham2471 good evening Kenneth, I can not give you an honest answer I didn’t hit any! Sorry about that but thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch. Joe

[@Powerdogequipment]

Try an Ambush next time.. or even our new 48 wide The Grazer

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

I would love too, I took a quick look and can not seem to find a dealer within 50 miles of my location! If you can send me an email with a dealer in NC or VA I will absolutely love to do a review! Thank you for watching Joe

[@maryamfoster5775]

Were you able to use the zero turn in the video to maintain the lawn after you cut with the Billy Goat Brush Hog?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good evening maryamfoster, not on the hill unfortunately! The camera doesn’t pick up how steep it really is! The Billy Goat is great I have been trying to buy one used. Thank you so much maryamfoster for taking time out of your day to not only watch but comment as well. Joe

[@peterduran5597]

Just bought one of these brand new in California with a pivoting deck for 2500.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning Peterduran , wow personally I think that’s a great price I have been searching for one used and cant seem to find one under $1800! And the machines that are for sale are very USED😂. Thank you so much Peter for taking time out of your day to not only watch but commenting as well. Good luck with your new machine! Joe

[@michelekanter9619]

Can I ask what store you purchased it at for that price?

[@peterduran5597]

@@michelekanter9619 it was from facebook market place , I got really lucky it was never ever ran to cut any grass.

[@Griffindor21]

Great video! Is it good in mulching small branches and dry twigs?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon Griffindor21, we had no trouble mowing over 2-3 inch saplings, brush , thick grass.. I am not paid or sponsored by Billy Goat just a pure honest review the machine is incredible! Thank you so much Griffindor21 for not only taking time out of your day to watch but commenting as well! Joe

[@vlogaftervlogtv]

Is it better to use this machine during the cooler months when the leaves have fallen, to make the process easier? I rented one before but it seemed that in the summer months the grass and brush was too thick, so i returned it.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning vlogaftervlogtv, thats a brilliant idea I should try that next winter! It is so far the best machine I have used to cut that hillside. I know the camera doesn't show how steep it truly is. Thank you Vlogaftervlogtv for taking time out of your day to watch and comment. Joe

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Vlogaftervlogtv I miss read what you wrote, I am sorry!! I don't think it matters this was the second time I have rented this model machine. Both times it had no issues at all. I read and responded to "it is better to use this machine during..." LOL Sorry , thank you again..

[@chrisevans8308]

Just purchased a used one for $650 what a machine & steal.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

I’m so jealous right now Chris!!! I have been searching Facebook market place I can not seem to find one.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Very nice machine . DR use to make good products but not anymore . Billy goat is top shelf in my book . Everything looked really nice when you were finished . Hope the drone is still flyable . How did you get Harry there on time ???? LOL

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon Del, I figured Harry out I tell him 45 minutes to 1 hour before I want to start to come by. 😂😂 The drone survived another crash and took off right away. I couldn’t agree with you more Del, this Billy Goat is fantastic.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

LOL , that what I do to my wife when I want to go somewhere !!!! Glad the drone survived !!!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

@@inthebackyardwithdel438 HAHAH thats great! Yes so far its very durable

[@OregonCoast426]

What is the model number? Thanks for a very helpful video!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon OregonCoast426 I really do not know I rented it from SunBelt Tool Rental! Sorry about that, but thank you very much for taking time out of your day to not only watch but to comment. Joe

[@jeff7821]

I have a gravely it's the same I put a set of chain on it an it will go anyplace

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good afternoon Jeff, that is a brilliant idea. We have to clear another 2 acres I would like to buy one, I have been searching facebook marketplace. I will start looking for a Gravely to. Thank you

[@justinsnow3979]

Think this thing will cut down tall thick ornamental grass?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning Justinsnow, I do apologies for the late response this comment just came across now! Personally I am not sure, it may depend on how thick the grass ball or circumference is. I had no issues with the machine I rented its incredibly strong but I was mowing over small trees/brush, I just dont want to provide the wrong information.

[@davidbrennan5]

I wonder if adding a steel counterweight to the back would make it easier to lift and turn around. That seems to be a problem.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

The hill is a lot steeper then it appears and the snake boots I have do not have great traction on hills. So it was me not the machine it was very well balanced and so much fun to run and operate.

[@davidbrennan5]

@@joesoutdoorexperience ok, maybe it is deceiving me but it looks like a lot of effort was required to lift the front of the machine, if your on a steep hill that would explain things better. I think this unit would be handy for someone who has trails to maintain.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

@@davidbrennan5 I’m sure it’s the camera and our angles! But we are going to rent it again I want to clear out about an 1.5-2 acres by the clover field we planted and this tool will heal pour so much.

[@weeweed86]

How to you control how fast it moves.....?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

The handles have like bicycle hand brakes and the more you squeeze the faster you move. Thank you for watching weeweed!

[@moose201]

Does this machine require a lot of muscle to turn while mowing?

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good morning moose201, on flat land I would say not really. On a hill like what I was working on, a bit more yes! But all in all I found the machine to be relatively well-balanced and extremely easy to maneuver. Thank you moose201 for taking time out of your morning to not only watch but to comment as well. Joe

[@moose201]

@@joesoutdoorexperienceThanks Joe, much appreciated!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

@@moose201 thank you for watching! I rented mine from Sunbelt tool rental. It was a lot cheaper than what Home Depot had.

[@Natasha-j9l]

that's steep for the rental, its $75 a day here but, these are great machines.

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Good evening , yes but it made such quick work of this area! I wish I could find one second hand/used for a good price.

[@kenc1800]

Where is your safety equipment? Gloves, eye protection and warning to keep all people/pets away while operating! SAFETY FIRST!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Kenc you are right I/We should have at least had ear and eye protection..

[@markescartin6613]

I'm NOT liking this at all. Husqvarna make a much BETTER machine that comes mounted on four(4) wheels AND is self-propelled It's too bad since Billy Goat as a brand has a stellar rep.
