Mowing the Forest with the Cheapest Brush Cutter I Could buy. (SUPER SATISFYING)

Putting this Cheap JCT Brush cutter through her paces by clearing several acres of underbrush at my farm. The Cutter and the machine performed well after I upgraded the bolts that hold on the blades. The drive coupler will need replacing how then hopefully it will have all its bugs worked out!

These brush cutter videos satisfy an extremely specific itch I get from time to time. Wouldn't mind seeing more of it on the channel!

[@andrewwhitnet3557]

Those things should come with a free metal detector to find the blades when they come off!.

[@genedameier8746]

"The Point" would make a nice home site, with views in every direction. High on a hill, no flooded basement. One hell of a long driveway to get there. Nice and quiet.

Clear fields of fire...

[@JohnDoe-lv4xu]

“Maybe the dozer, but that’s pushing it “. Well done on the pun sir! :)

[@DieselCreek]

Completely unintentional but I’ll take it 👍🏼😂

[@MONSTERMISFITS]

Beautiful piece of property brother nothing more satisfying than making some look nice 😎

[@alan6832]

I would brush cut less area and concentrate on brush cutting roads and narrow strips so I cold comfortably walk or ATV to most areas, but most of the property is still in natural brush. Though livestock is also an option.

[@robertkoons1154]

It's super fun to reclear old grown up farm land to something useable again.

[@paulpetro652]

That's sorta theraputic like running a chipper or sawmill. Good job getting the cheaper one since you can do most or all of your own repairs. 👍🏻

[@DieselCreek]

That’s the only reason I wasn’t afraid to get one

I inherited 450 acres in Texas, it was completely covered in Mesquites, Cedar, Sage, and Pecan Trees. Took me 10 years to get where I wanted it, Mesquite trees if you cut them a hundred more will popup from the roots, so you have to dig them out. Still have to maintain it be it's manageable now.

[@DieselCreek]

I just sit back in awe at the work that our ancestors had to do to clear all the land that they did with nothing more than axes and horses, still boggles my mind.

[@zippythechicken]

theres a lot of instant gratification in those brush cutters... reminds me of being a teenager with a trash find push mower making trails in the woods

[@thomasmarion3209]

Looking Good 👍 I would spray for ticks i go bad ticks and chiggers this year in my woods 😀 great party spot

[@mrpesky163]

You just made life a bit easier for all of the deer around your place👍

[@bvnseven]

Very nice shaded, activity area, Matt, you are right. Looks great!

[@Joker_68]

You don't know what lays beneath the forest floor until you remove it's overgrowth and reveal it's beauty.

[@DieselCreek]

Yes very hard to tell the lay of the land until it’s cleared!

[@Polecat54941]

Takes mowing the lawn to a whole new level!

[@DieselCreek]

Yes a much more fun level lol

[@tomo4690]

Looks good! I always like my river bottoms when I get them mowed up nice.

[@DieselCreek]

That’s the next place I’ll probably tackle

[@tectalabyss]

Hi Matt. Great to see you getting the bugs out of the cutter. I love the woods myself,having grew up surrounded by them. It never gets old. Has always I liked,shared.All my best.

[@seansysig]

Matt the rubber vibration isolator is designed to also accommodate some minor misalignment between the steel couplers. Be weary of the cheap rubber ones stick with Dodge or LoveJoy rubber polymer isolators. Also alignment matters most so check with a straight edge from steel coupler to coupler(12,3,6,and 9 o'clock) and realign retighten/shim shaft supports to align properly I'd try to find a new complete set with quality machined/ balanced steel couplers & isolator. Get a spare quality isolator. Also modify the wear bars before they warp the sides and damage the shaft bearings and blades.

[@tombratton3196]

That spring makes it easy if you ever want a pond.

[@wendellmcqueary8624]

A lot of people don't realize just how much goes into clearing a piece of property from native state to useable land. Everything has to be worked over. From brush(undergrowth) to saplings to full blown trees. Thank you for showing everyone what it is like. And to think. We used to do BY HAND, no machines.

[@chriscornelius4549]

Looks like heaven on earth to me!

Me too buddy

Wow, it looks so much better. Hard work pays. Have a great day.

Looking good!!!! I have an orchard type tractor I run through all my wooden land. It's so rewarding to stop and look around when it's all done!!!

[@teddill4893]

Wow, the place looks so nice now. A true escape form the daily grind.

[@jamesray9009]

all about the right tool for the job ..making it easy there

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

clearing under brush make those young trees grow stronger not fall over in a strong storm, nice work.

[@TheUserid82]

Don't forget you can often get free/cheap labor for forest/woodland clean up projects by taking advantage of the local scouting type programs. You supply them with a space they can camp on and they in turn do work that helps both you and themselves. Trail clearing, firewood recovery, trimming off lower limbs and a lot of other forest work that matches up with requirements in their program for patches/badges. They will naturally search around the camp site for dead/downed trees for firewood so you would quickly see all the dead stuff on the ground and the standing dead smaller stuff gone after just a few trips out.

[@DieselCreek]

I’m an Eagle Scout, my former troop is just out the road, I should talk to them, we camped there a few times as kids with the scouts

[@TheUserid82]

@@DieselCreek Most people forget that it is beneficial to both sides as you are providing a free/cheap activity for the kids in exchange for service they would need to do anyways. There are a few options outside BSA also so the troop might know of any local groups. I remember one of the farms we would camp at we would always do trail work and clean up from the groups that would leave trash behind so the farmer loved having us.

Hi Phil, Matt seems to tackle things others don't bother with. Have been watching for a few months, and really enjoy his work, and his trucks etc. Also great music he plays. Please keep them coming Matt. Best wishes Phil, Geoff Lewis, Wales. UK.

[@ToddTalksTech]

The video is like riding along on a Brush Hog Roomba! Tough little beast, after modifications!

[@alantorrance6153]

Very wise having a perimeter road. That helps keep intruders at bay in making it more difficult for them to come in without the risk of being noticed. Also, if needs be, you can erect surveillance camera equipment and have it monitor that road, whereas without a road, the surveillance equipment has no space to view what is going on (that is the problem that "Outdoors with Erik" faces with his intruders.

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Wow.... that really looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing the video. Have a great day.

[@tedmattingly7564]

If you're going through Lovejoys that fast, even cheap ones, you definitely need to check to make sure you don't have an alignment issue or maybe that thin top plate is allowing both pump and motor to flex while using it. I recommend taking a the safety guard and mounting your gopro where it can record that area while you do a couple of test passes. That should give you an idea on what's happening. You may need to strengthen that area, it'll eventually crack around the mounts if that's what it is.

[@notajp]

Also, a lesson I learned a long time ago about those is to always leave a slight gap on either side of the rubber spider. If it is in there tight, it wont last long. It has to have room to move. BTDT!

[@ericcorse]

It is looking fantastic and I bet fun to do. The Point is a pretty piece of woods.

[@leahsdreams]

Already's paid for itself I reckon!

[@30shandala]

Great job, Matt, and great attitude.

[@DieselCreek]

Why thank you!

[@cereus57]

We have 10.3 acres and I always find it very satisfying when I can get rid of the tangled scrub with my Messy-Frickinson brush cutter attached to our Johnny Deere 4700. Hurts the neck if I was to do as much as you did in the video as our cutter is pto on a 3 point but it works! Keep at it, looking good.

[@deadtruckressurection8454]

Sure looks easier than wrestling a tractor and bush hog through the timber. It is good to have that scrub cleared out and be able to use your land.

[@downrightme6811]

Matt I’m a truck driver and I love what you do and how you do it. When I wear the Diesel Creek hat and shirt I get questions from the other drivers I know. I tell them to check out your channel and see what you think

[@regsparkes6507]

[@dylanlewis3666]

Wish I had land & toys like that.

[@chakrazoo]

a few fire rings and picnic tables...that would make a sweet campground.

[@helmutkrahn9337]

Starting to look like a garden right there, trees already grown with sunlight throwing shadows thru their leaves - really beautiful. Neighbourhood party definitely a good idea - no, wait, you would've already had it by now! (And if not, due to COVID or procrastination, then maybe now?) Anyway, who'd da thunk I'd be watchin' a video of some guy mowin' for 20 minutes... OK, true, I do use KZbin shortcut keys (L & R arrows and "J" & "L" keys to skip forwards/backwards 5 secs/10 secs respectively - as handy as an ugga-dugga).

[@briancasey4917]

👍 Beautiful, looks like a park.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Matt, I think it's a great idea being on the front of a bobcat whereas being dragged behind a tractor etc you have to go into the track first, this way you cut the track and can see better what you're getting yourself into or don't want to go into etc... and being on the front of a bobcat you and get into areas that a tractor cannot and the maneuverability is totally easier....

[@graveyardrumblers]

Oh man if I had a spot like that I'd build me a masonry fireplace/smoke pit back there, set up a tent and a picnic table and spend most of my time back there fishing in the creek for cold ones lol

[@MichaelSmith-dg3kr]

Fantastic job on that mowing job. I myself like the looks of that double chain coupler you put on the cutter. But it's what works best for you. you have a blessed day, Sir.

[@Yackhammer75]

Matt I think you need a forestry mulcher. By need I mean would probably be very useful not actually need. But then you could take out some of the slightly larger trees the brush cutter can't but mainly for the dead trees/logs that inevitably fall due to age and storms on property like this. Of course you've probably already thought about this and if you decided you do then I'm sure you'll get one when and if the time is right. Love the jobs you've already done with what you have and can't wait to see how everything turns out for you brother.

[@rickgarcia1392]

That reverse brush hog works nice on the skid steer. It handles those small saplings easy . As long as the gear box and motor hold out the rest can be beefed up

[@morgansword]

I think that you found the "Fountain of youth" as its so nice an peaceful. My OCD would drive me nuts till I got all the trash brush knocked down and cleaned up so it was of use and the property was cleared under that canopy. Not many places near somewhere that is close to what you have which is wrong for me to say as I really don't know texas that well but I think desert when dreaming of places to see. I see you work between those small diameter trees that a good unit would chew and "not break the machine" and know that this one too could knock down but would kill it doing it... Makes you want to look for that commercial unit that takes all that it comes up to down so that it starts looking like a field again. Some chick berries would keep the property to where you could grow if you wanted. I know that your not a farmer but oh boy Roy, you could sure fool a lot of people were they to see it. I like all the stuff but this brush cutting is way fun to watch... rooting for you to take this or that down and it would stay down longer. Beautiful property.... I bet getting power out there is something else

[@DieselCreek]

It’s gonna be an expensive show to get it back there for sure... one of the only draw backs

[@ewanstewart8011]

A wooded area with the vegetation tidy and the sun shining through, as you beautiful 👍🏻

[@Fantaman900]

There is this big yellow horizontal crane at the water edge I drive past to and from work. It's been rusty and not used for as long as I remember and I lived in this city for my whole. Nature is about to swallow that crane whole, over the years more and more brush grew and not much yellow crane left. There is like a boat shop next door and on the other side has been a very large dirt pile storage but that is all gone now. But no one bother to keep nature in check in between.

[@willb3018]

Coming along very nicely.

[@SHcinema]

You make me realize how much of a wimp I am. I have a 6' LandPride PTO brush cutter (looks almost identical underneath to that one) and hate running over small mesquite saplings due to the clanging and banging it makes (the cutter handles them easily, just a lot of banging) and you are cutting saplings down at twice the thickness... man I'm a wimp.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

I'm happy too! 😁👍 Thank you for this. Looks fantastic!

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Weld some thicker steel on those skids - even angle iron will work well. We use to weld it on the tread of the bulldozer. Love watching you use the bush hog. Back in the day, we had to use a hand hook ax to clear brush. It would make or break you using that all day. Nice job, looks like a million dollars now.

[@125sm3]

Well that brush cutter certainly saves some time and effort. Hopefully will be paying for it self in a short time. Also looks beautiful that woodland.

[@buddycarroll9665]
