Ep. 294 - John Deere 5075E Mowing - Why I like No Cab - Do I need a Different Tractor???

[@shaunhubbard4738]

You get a soil sample? That can help answer question and produce more forage.

[@terrymoorecnc2500]

I've had both. Traded my 2016 5075E OOP in on a Premium Cab. I like the Cab, the AC is nice. I don't use the radio much because I like 22:24 to listen to the Tractor especially during break in. You will appreciate having a top at least. It will save you from getting burned up. The seat in the cab is much nicer as well. The Cab may be a little higher COG but it still cranks over on the banks fine. I did trim all the low hanging limbs around the fence rows. One thing about a cab is that if that bush hog picks up a stone or limb and it gets past the guarding, the cab may protect you. FFT.

All good reasons for a cab. I just mowed a bunch this weekend and my allergies are killing me. Another reason for a cab. :)

[@stevensaxon8888]

Jeff maybe a small compact tractor & brush cutter or a small skid steer & brush cutter?

[@JROC734]

I have a 6" mower for my 5075E. Works great for tighter spaces. Won't cut an open field as quickly as a wider batwing though.

[@BlackacreRanch]

May be the best way for me to go. Lot cheaper than another tractor.

[@GaHullbillyRanch]

Jeff, how about a large deck size zero turn mower or a golf course mowers with a finisher mower on the front?

[@BlackacreRanch]

I have looked into zero turn mowers but I'm concerned that they will get stuck in the sand and the mower is a finish mower and my brush may be too much for it.

Have you thought of using a sprinkler system to work off of your well system to help grow your grass?

[@BlackacreRanch]

I have but hate to run my pump that much. It's got me thinking of water tanks or the lake

[@mikemiles8340]

2,4-D will kill those broadleaf weeds but won't kill the grass

[@steveunger8108]

Broad leaf spray.

[@goodboyringo9716]

When are you going to clean the tractor ?

[@BlackacreRanch]

Soon I guess but not really pushing for it. I haven't washed my truck in years. We will see.

[@GaHullbillyRanch]

Jeff, do you have ground wasps bees, hornets in your area? We do here in ga. I like open tractors but I need the protection of the cab.

[@BlackacreRanch]

I have not seen those ground wasps yet. They worry me. If I had those, I'd have to reconsider my cab views :)

[@johnmeeks9618]

How about rain bird sprinklers running off your well? Mount the camera on the roll bar to free you hands. Save your money and give your kids a weed eater for the tight spaces.

[@BlackacreRanch]

I've thought to use the water in the "lake" to water the pastures. I have no fish in them and they just breed bugs so why not put it to use. Rain bird sprinklers are a great idea. Now to get it to work with the lake....

A 5075E is not a heavy tractor especially being an open station.
