Brush mowing an extremely overgrown jungle with a Ventrac! Taking down five years of growth!

We team up with Lawn Commander and brush hog an overgrown back yard. It's so satisfying to watch the transformation of overgrown trees, briars and weeds get mowed to the ground. Full start to finish transformation. Time - lapse and slow motions!
How would you all have tackled this job? Carl and I own and operate a fully insured lawn care and landscaping business in Western North Carolina. Our motivation to make this all a success, our four children!

Wow that is some machine man o man

Yes it is! Stacey brought it back to my house too and we mowed the field that hadn’t been mowed in almost two years! Eventually when I own my acres I may have to invest in one of these.

Dual tires add stability on hill and slopes. I am in central Texas. We put tire sealant in tires with our brush that’s full of thorns. He quoted price nearly perfect. Not cheap. It is rugged. Replaced a John Deer 4000 series as it was unable to cut slopes we had.

[@Mrjohnboyd1959]

Nice video but please speed it up a little bit. I was falling asleep with the slow motion. You guys have a nice business going on their. Wish you the best of luck and grace.

[@richardturk7162]

I have never seen someone get excited about a mower/bush hog.

[@Renny1953]

65 GRAND in Australia -wonderful machine and it cuts all types with the right attachment. You should need as a minimum the smooth cut- the flail mower - the rake and the gravel/sand/dirt tiller. So you will have to make a large investment. But you can do so much with it. In cold parts of the US you could even get the snow broom. Great bit of kit but it's a lot of cash to stump up. Plus - you will probably need a new trailer and hauler as well.

[@CAK1562]

Those mowers are awesome

[@lukeherbert25]

Awesome video!!

Hey Rachel it's Rocco wanted to wish you a happy mother's day and hi Carl always enjoy your videos there always appreciated that ventrac is the shit there expensive but you get what you pay for stay safe in these crazy times.

[@phaninboompha2254]

The slow motion so bad 😂❤️

[@DCR52]

A skidsteer with a brush hog would have been faster. But that machine gets the job done, just a bit slower. A skidsteer would be a versatile machine for you folks especially when you get your own property.

Nice, I winder how much he charged. Did he mulch and till?

[@happysfamilywnc]

I honestly don’t remember what we charged but I was able to pay Stacey really well to come with the Ventrac and I made a little off it too! We just knocked it down.

[@SulaimanTheWordSmith]

Thanx for the update. Did you have to mulch or till the ground after cutting the brush.

[@happysfamilywnc]

No it was just overgrowth over the septic field so we just knocked it down and left it. The Ventrac mulched it up good.

Is that a lawnmower or a brush hog please advise

It has attachments so could be both. This was the brush cutter.

[@rubengarzon9702]

why am i watching an advert for ventrac?

[@harolddenton6031]

Should have played some Metallica or Pantera or Ted nuggent songs during the time he was destroying that tall brush. I will own either a steiner or a ventrac when I move baxk to live in northeast Tennessee. That centrack with double wheel setup and just a 60" finishing deck and a big tough cutting deck will set you back a good 30 to 32 grand.

[@happysfamilywnc]

Great goal! It is a specialty mower and I think you would do good with them around here for People that just want to knock their woods down once a year. I would like to invest I one eventually also. Thanks for watching!

How much for this machine?

I’m not sure this is a friends machine.

[@chatchawanhealth]

How many price ?

[@AngusKart]

really don't understand the fascination with all the slow motion shots, they dont show anything more, just slow down the action

[@ardelpedro7866]

You are right on the price... I could buy a new truck for the price of the mower.

[@harolddenton6031]

This is a machine that is very valuable when a person lives in a region that has lots of hills or bigger mountain sides. You can use it to earn good extra income cutting for folks who have steep terrain or lowland marshy areas on their properties.
