TESTED: Earthquake Outdoor Acreage Tow-Behind Rough Cut Mower RC4432

[@grandperesdream3183]

When you cut those limbs off the trees, you might find it good to undercut a bit before cutting down from the upper side. This will help to avoid having a problem with 'bark hinge'. It also will avoid having the falling limb strip some bark off the main trunk. Really enjoy your videos!

[@sam-and-angela]

Great advice! We'll do that from now on... you may still see the 'wrong method' in the next video, but we'll fix it here forward. Thanks!!

[@Chrispy9393]

came to the comments to say this, and it was the first comment I read. lol

@My Random 603 trying to keep me of a machine.. I like what the townys. Going back to small farmers.. Xxoo

[@briandufty5081]

You are spot on.. Xxoo.

[@lindacsmith13]

That thing takes a lickin' and keeps on ticken'. Angela, you rock, you saved the snake. Smart woman.

[@Brian.N]

Great brush cutter,I would off set the mower to one side or other,it would keep your wheeler in the mowed section, and not have to drive in the tall stuff

[@robertw.ellerbysr.358]

I was wondering why you hadn't offset the mower? It would keep you clear of the "whippers" and over hang. And still get a good cut in. Jmho.

[@dannylayton1106]

I have never seen such a great test of a product. You plunged right into the thick of things. I despise these videos of brush cutters going over light grass areas. Thanks and we will see about purchasing this product.

[@CH-mp8eu]

100% agree. This is the only brush cutting video I've seen actually cutting brush.

[@childofgodheavenlycreation1955]

I enjoyed watching Angela cut down the Tree Branches , and about the snake you are truly a brave woman I would run.LoL

Love that pole saw! Angela after the snake!!!! Made my day.

You have such a lot of work ahead but so nice that the place is all yours. thanks.

[@brosselot1]

I used a very similar rough cut mower on my place 20 acres mostly on the ends around the crop fields and pastures for 4 years. I just ordered a new tractor with loader and backhoe and box blade and most important a 6' offset flail mower. It's the best money I've ever spent. I'm 54 years old and I bought new because I'm tired of working on all of my old crap. You can get by but you need to have the right size equipment to do the job. Have fun but you to will find a tractor and mower is the way to go even it it's used.

[@kayhenry6293]

Wow! Love that machine! Cutting that ‘by hand’ would take forever, and you’d be really sore and tired afterwards. Good on Angela for wanting to save the good snake. They’re worth their weight in gold for controlling dangerous snakes and rats. Way to go, you two.

[@sam-and-angela]

It's been so great to use! We've been amazed at what it chews up with ease. :) Angela's always been my protector from snakes. LOL

[@kayhenry6293]

@@sam-and-angela yeah, I’m not real fond of snakes. Where I live, we have rattlesnakes, coral snakes, copperheads, and near the water we have water moccasins. Still not as bad as Australia!

Wow! What a workhorse! I LOVE using a pole saw. They are so fast and make a huge difference.

[@cliff5240]

Great little mower (brush hog for the 4 wheeler) my luck the snake would have been in the tree and smacked me in the face. Seeing you trim the trees brought back terrible memories from the past week. Just cleared my tree lines and trimmed some trees -- 26 truck loads later I am tired :)

[@darleneclark6098]

Well dang !! You are definitely not afraid of getting dirty. That's some tough work, even with the mower. I bet your covered in scratches after that, but man what a great job. Angela I would have ran the opposite direction from that bad boy. We found a rattlesnake on our property, but he got away. I'm only afraid of poisonous snakes because I don't know how to identify different kinds. I have to learn my species. But I've held many snakes (non venomous) and I like them. We have two very large live oaks on our land, they are beautiful. Can't wait to see yours once you clean up the area some more. I just sent this video to my hubby . We have been looking for a used mid size tractor. Weed whacking 25 acres just isn't possible so we were looking into something like this. Perfect timing guys, thanks so much. You guys look so giddy at the property. Exactly how we feel every time and we've already owned ours for a year and two months. Your property is beautiful so happy for you. Hey just thinking, would some type of windshield work for the quad?

[@sam-and-angela]

One of the first things from my brother (who lives out there -- cattle farmer) was "you better find something to handle that land you just bought!" :) He has tractors and brush hogs, which maybe someday we'll end up buying for us, but this was a great solution for what we had to work with already (the ATV). Plus it's faster than his tractor. We're planning a comparison video someday between the two machines & methods.

[@fava7753]

Thought you were going to get lashed to pieces riding through the overgrowth , goggles would come in handy protect your eyes Sam . . ANGELA DUNDEE chasing up the snake at a rapid pace there . Lots of work ahead . Keep up the excellent work and content guys .

[@Lngshirt]

Why was it so fun to watch this? I wish I would have picked up the used one I saw.

[@imari2305]

That mower and 4 wheeler truly are beasts on that overgrowth. Lol when Angela was running and yelling I thought you mowed down a wild berry bush or the mower broke. I'm with Sam on the snake thing; I don't do snakes and since I can't tell a rat snake from any other snake they all have to go lol.

[@jaymurray5790]

thank you for sharing, were headed to town in morning to visit Home Depot and take a look at the mower.

[@johnclayton5691]

I wish I had this Eathquake rough-cut mower. Instead, a couple months ago I purchased a Swisher brush mower which is 448 pounds and tires on the unit unable to carry the weight effectively. First time mowing and had a flat. Following day, noticed the other tire was half deflated. Also, drinks gasoline fast. Furthermore, raising and lowering and leveling machine complicated. One last thing, due to only two flimsy, small wheels to support mower; I found that scalping ground with mower blades happens on rough ground. My previous brush mower with four wheels mowed the same area and never ever scalped the ground.

[@kandiwolfe1125]

That is quite the on-task point and ready to , " get 'er done" mowing machine you all have! Sure looks like it is an awful lot to get control of right off...but....no time like the present l say! Take care of one another and stay safe!! Peace.. .♥︎

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

THANK YOU for making this video! Fantastic review with plenty of demonstrations. That Acreage is a real beast! I almost bought a DR Power but after reading over 100 reviews and watching multiple videos I discovered it's a $3600 piece of junk. Nothing but problems from all aspects especially broken belt springs that still plaque it today. The Earthquake Acreage looks superior in every way, in both design and build quality. Bonus, it's actually a lot less expensive than a "comparable" DR Power brand. Now that you had it for a couple years, how has it been treating you?

That trail mower is the best next thing to a tractor and brush hog. Its designed the same as a brush hog and probably 20,xxx bucks cheaper. Done a great job. BTW, i don't mess with snakes either Sam, I would leave that upto my wife as well. LoL

[@ruthdambrosio622]

Suggestion when cutting through anything more then 2-4 inches, cut on the one side about 1/3 ( more or less) then go to the opposite side to finish the job. it is safer and well not cause tear or damage what you went to keep. Safer is the reason I write. great job.

[@XRTRACING]

Wonder if they make one with an offsetting hitch? Maybe a few feet offset would keep one out of the high stuff.
