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

[@briandufty5081]

@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.

[@childofgodheavenlycreation1955]

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

[@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

[@scottmurray2961]

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

[@lindacsmith13]

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

[@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.

[@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 .

[@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.

[@alloftheaboveeunicesmith9625]

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

[@lechatbotte.]

Love watching each new video I’m so excited for you.

[@kennethperian4370]

It did do great work good job showing telling, and great great mower bush cuter thanks for showing have a great day see ya next time see ya bye.

[@jenaie]

Angela! You scared the life out of me when you ran over to mower shouting STOP! lol :p

[@sam-and-angela]

You and me both!!!!! -Sam

[@highplainssister8927]

Like seeing the possibilities and the positiveness 😀 ❤️

[@beckypage6041]

You go girl! I’d be standing over there with Sam. You guys be safe.

[@trueheartadventures9528]

My buddy had nothing but problems with his pull behind; happy to see that isn't the case with yours.

[@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.

[@scottmurray2961]

YES, BUT IF HE OFFSET THE MOWER TO THE LEFT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO GET WHIPPED BY THE TREES, HE CAN GET UNDERNEATH A LOT OF THE BRUSH AND NOT HAVE TO GET WEED WHACKED.

[@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.

[@rondahoward5341]

Progress! Hem the weather cools down and Fall sets in, y’all will have a blast!

[@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.

[@dalecherry4044]

I had a 6 foot that used to live in my shed. We had an understanding I wouldn't kill him and he would eat every mouse he could. The past skin shed I got out was right at the 6 foot mark.

[@sam-and-angela]

Wow!!!

[@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!

[@131dyana]

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

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam & Angela,WOW what a difference!!Sam the same here when it comes to snakes!! Angela you are brave!! 😊

[@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 :)

[@kathybuchanan9470]

Sam, you are like MacGyver man. I'm with you and Indiana Jones when it comes to snakes 🐍 Great job!

[@rubberdc]

Whatever will they invent next , you are so right , it is awsome!

[@TennValleyGal]

Robert at Sidestep Adventure could use that machine to keep his wisteria under control. Way to go Sam! Love this one.

[@maryleblanc4961]

That Bush Hog sure is a beast!👹 Scary 😳 Does a fast and clean job wow 👏 👏💚💯💥 It's looking good 👍 👌

[@sam-and-angela]

It really does the job! But everyone has to stand clear -- it throws chips, etc. a good distance sometimes. :)

[@wendyburston3132]

[@sam-and-angela]

They love the new land!!

[@happyheart2414]

Oh wow the little amish store if it is the one we go to they have some amazing food. Just absolutely awesome what that new tool can do I am going to share this video with my brother so he can get one lol.

[@sam-and-angela]

They sometimes have a donut trailer out front and on Saturdays it's crazy busy... if we're talking about the same one. :)

[@mikewinn1484]

That brush mower is the bomb! Also the Craftsman Saw also.

[@OneBrightLightTN]

That mower did an excellent job. Welcome to Tennessee!!!! We moved to our Tennessee homestead earlier this year and love it

[@Lngshirt]

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

[@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?

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Looks great! Thanks for taking us along!

[@Rocket-ck3qn]

I'm a tree man after watching these couple I was going to say they would love me there working I got to say she's working they're getting it done 👍 one state figure out the best kept secret on making the bigger stuff go away in turn it into a into a product., they will have it figured out God bless you too 🙏 looking good

Totally! :)

[@rondabixler9590]

OMG I LOVE that mower! I need it at my house for one day.

[@deanbarr5740]

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

[@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.

[@kimberleytramper8966]

That was a serious clearing job. Fun watching what that machine was capable of.

[@reannejarvis9464]

Well done. This is the first KZbin I watched on my new iPhone. Loved seeing Angela use the pole saw. I’ve just bought a garden set with one. Looking forward to some garden renovation

That looks so satisfying Sam ;) looking brilliant, love how Angela described the snake lol

[@lindaglover9248]

It was rather satisfying, to watch you clean up your woods. Especially from the comfort of my couch. 😉 Perhaps someday you can get goats to help maintain the woods. Looking forward to watching your journey.

[@jaymurray5790]

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

[@scottmurray2961]

YOU MAY BE CAREFUL GOING TO HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S. BECAUSE UNLESS YOU BUY IT FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT ACTUALLY WORKS ON THEM . I HEARD THAT SOMEBODY PURCHASED A. 0 TURN MOWER FROM HOME DEPOT, AND WITHIN AN HOUR, HE HAD A BELT THAT BROKE, THEY SAID. THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM, CONTACT YOUR BRAND OF MACHINE AND THE BRAND OF MACHINE SAID, CONTACT THE PLACE WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT AND EVERYBODY WAS PASSING THE BUCK. SO IF YOU BUY IT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER BUYING IT FROM A PLACE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS ON THEM, AND WILL WARRANTY THEM AT THE SAME TIME

[@harleydancer9045]

Another interesting video. Angela's the girl when it comes to snakes. Good for her, when she says rat snakes are good to have around. It's the monsoon season here in Thailand and the snakes are coming out of hiding. Some venomous. So it's 'look before you walk.' I wish I had your tree electric saw! Keep em coming.

A friend of mine has one of these to cut the brush to make horse trails on their Freisen horse farm. They love it. They use a 4X4 quad to pull it. But they do have a small kubota tractor they can use if need be.

[@sam-and-angela]

That is awesome!

[@belindaroberts3090]

[@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.

wonder if you can put the pull boom to one side of the cutter , that way you dont have to drive over the brush with the 4 wheeler to cut it
