Taking care of a mowing job I’ve been doing for probably around 14 years. A little steep in places! #masseyferguson

Hi Ben! Lots of Water Moccasins where I grew up. Hate the things man. Here where I live now there are nothing but small Garters. I usually scare up 2 or 3 while brush hogging. Love watching that old 245. Funny thing about that tractor is that it looks small until you get up on it. Have a great day and thanks for sharing!
@khtractors2 жыл бұрын
Our main snakes are black snakes and copper heads. This 245 is an orchard model which makes it low profile giving a smaller appearance. Thanks for watching!

How's she goin'? Nice to see the Massey out doing what it's good at, working!!! LOL Tell me Ben, any special reason you just didn't mow right over that snake? I do not like snakes and I sure wouldn't mind one less snake in this world!!! LOL Take care!!!
@khtractors2 жыл бұрын
The black snakes aren’t dangerous and they are great at catching mice, also I’ve always heard that they keep away Copper Heads. I try not to kill them if I can help it. I’d put this Massey up against a new one any day! Really appreciate you watching!

@@khtractors Thanks for the explanation about the snake. I was playing golf in Georgia one time and there was a big black snake on the cart path sunning itself. The guy I was playing with, he was from Georgia, stopped the cart and jumped off and chased the snake. He wanted to catch it. I was some happy he didn't. He wanted me to see the snake as he knew I didn't like them. I was so upset with him so I beat him at golf!!! LOL

I think you should have a contest "Hang out with Ben for a day." It would be by entry, winner chosen at random. And you put the winner through the paces of a typical day in the life of Ben. Like during hay season. Just throwing it out there.
@khtractors2 жыл бұрын
Hey I’d welcome that without a contest! It would be fun and I think people would enjoy it during hay season. Lots of stuff goes on that no one ever gets to see on video. Appreciate you thinking enough of me to even mention wanting to spend a day with us. Take care and thanks for watching!

It’s funny to me to think when my grandpa traded a Oliver super 55 for a new Massey 245 diesel in 84 and it was one of the main tractors next to my dads 165 the 245 had a liquid fertilizer tank mounted on the front and a bigger alternator to run a four row 3 point planter and now it is use what a utility tractor is intended to be used for

The hill in front of my house I can only mow going downhill it's so steep my rear comes out of the seat a little and the mower shuts off lol I tried to get the wife to see in some velcro to the hind end of my coveralls she just laughed at me until she watched me dive over the side and of course there's always someone coming down the dang road you'd think they would stop to let me get to the bottom heck no I gotta stop on the side of the hill people are always in a dang hurry.

@KillingItCountry2 жыл бұрын
I can handle garder snakes but you can keep the rest 😂 I guess if you’re going to mow a hill it’s best to have a tractor with no cab to keep your center of gravity as low as possible.
@khtractors2 жыл бұрын
This tractor wouldn’t be safe in a roll over but it’s low center of gravity and weight makes it very stable. I guess going around a hill like that I just feel safer on the Massey even though there’s no ROPs. These black snakes are actually good to have around! I have a picture of one that at Mamaw’s that was massive. Appreciate you watching!
