I didn't know a batwing mower was that capable. Wow, you sure made short work of that! Good job.

[@AndrewHillard1]

Thank you I appreciate it! He does a good job and the mower does also

[@odisdenney690]

You brought the perfect equipment for the job.

[@JamesNMegan]

Nice 986. My family runs a 9,10 and 1586. I remember planting cotton with my grandpa on his brand new 1086 when I was 6. Old red paint holds a very special place with me. Nice video.

[@AndrewHillard1]

Thank you very much for the comment! I appreciate it!

[@kylerayk]

Nothing like the sound of IH power! Great video! Brush chopping is total instant gratification!

[@AndrewHillard1]

Thank you!

[@gwlane5509]

It was the instant gratification before the internet...LOL...still beats it today!

[@raincoast9010]

That's some serious chopping power!

Nice to see tillable land reclaimed with Batwing mowers

[@EDBZ28]

nice 986 Tri-Stripe...ya don't see as many tri-stripes around anymore. My father had a 1086 tri-stripe...always liked that red panel over the white panels.

[@handlaidtrack]

This is so satisfying to watch. The cool IH tractor is awesome too

[@AndrewHillard1]

Thanks!

[@dillonmoreland2357]

My dad loved his 9....he said it was the pullingest tractor he ever had....besides his 4020

They’re some great tractors. Extremely popular where we’re from

You run your equipment the same way I do.....slow and easy.

Slow and easy is the way people who paid for the equipment operate the equipment.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

@@AndrewHillard1 two months ago the clutch messed up in my 4020 tractor. I was finished with it for the year so I parked it wondering how much is this going to cost. Turns out after gaining some knowledge I found out the adjustment had slipped and all I had to do was readjust for free play and the problem was solved. Splitting a tractor of that size can get really expensive. So I thank God for being able to dodge the bullet.🙏🙂

[@jeffstrains4014]

Old tractor runs it well, I bought a 15ft land pride last year and love it! Can back into a mess like this and keep it off the tractor, able to make a swipe along the fence rows under the trees. Biggest thing I notice is can mow cows pasture and it does not get covered in cowmanure

That was last year and its still not back yet. I think he sprayed it last year when he cut it and pastured it this year so its possible but its doing pretty good so far

Wow. I know what your going through!! About 2 years ago I was doing the same thing!

[@johndowe7003]

Is the cameraman concerned he could get hit by something thrown from the mower? Beautiful tractor and mower-love the sound-like it’s not working hard.

[@AndrewHillard1]

Im the camera man haha. My uncle is the operator. Not too concerned it has chains hanging down that stops most objects or atleast slows them down. Sometimes youll get hit but its typically not bad

[@rexoliver7780]

I am glad no projectiles being thrown by the mower. I saw someone get hit in the eye by a pebble some years ago. Was from an old corded electric mower hogging thru thick grass. The victim was OK examined by their eye doctor. Their eye did hurt for a few days. After the mowers hog session-it’s motor burned out. Got replaced by a gas mower.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

1 question & a comment Question what year is the tractor ??? I know it’s before the merger. Comment, I’d take the outside dual off the inside is mandatory but the outside is not, if you get a flat in it you still have to fix it, if it’s setting at the shop, it won’t get a flat.

[@AndrewHillard1]

Its a 1981. And he was bushhogging the entire farm so there was hillsides he needed them on. Instead of taking them off and putting them back on when needed he just left them on.

[@AbelGuerra-xz3pc]

I bushhog for a living and never seen someone raise their wings to cut thick brush I never have to but it looks like a 37-15 mower and those aren’t that good I hope you go back over it and make it look more professional

[@michaeldunagan8268]

Great Execution! I think going in reverse lessons the chances of branches puncturing some sort of hose or wires in the engine compartment. Is brush-hogging a more affordable way than to just bulldoze the brush?

[@AndrewHillard1]

I agree. And im not entirely sure. According to your location and how much people charge I suppose. Thanks!

[@vaska.e.]

do you think that the tractor is made from old condoms?

[@raprock5000]

Should have used a herbicide on that brush a couple weeks before taking it down. Cutting it green like that will just make it grow back thicker.

[@chrisjohnson4666]

Not if you bottom plow it next... This would be a good job for a bottom plow...

[@raprock5000]

@@chrisjohnson4666 Yes that would work if you started farming it .

[@ahmedslihbuza6645]

how do you prevent those saplings and brush from coming back?

Turning the cows into it. Only reason it grew up was we fenced it off to hunt on

I was just curious why that area of pasture was left to grow up like that

It was fenced off for deer hunting for a year. Cows didnt tromp it down so it grew up pretty bad, uncle had planned on taking care of it but hes older and still works so he just hadnt gotten around to it.

[@joebloggs8401]

Good old engineering there, big heavy power not some light weight 4wd slasher package you get today that comes from who knows where . Every thing is mechanical with no engine management and easy to fix. I have a Case IH tractor and would not sell at all, to hard to find.

[@AndrewHillard1]

Thank you!

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

You were demonstrating good common sense when you were cutting it high. No reason to have you skids dragging in the vegetation. Cutting too low just beats up your equipment. The guys who cut as low as possible with their compacts on the first pass drive me nuts. "Beat the heck out of your equipment so you can buy a new one" is what they must be thinking.

[@tommyhunter1817]

Not much as fun as that!!!

[@genelund1705]

Wished I had more time to come and show you how to do that. Now quit driving through 6 foot high brush and scratching the paint and tearing off wires and hoses and chewing up tires. Back through 1st pass then come through slow on finish lap. Slow down and pay attention it's not about how fast it's more of a common sense issue

[@AndrewHillard1]

Yea I wish you could too 🤣🤣
