First time we have cut all of the slopes | Cub Cadet XZ6 Ultime ZERO TURN

[@kevinbushey1879]

Judy, your Tractor is awesome. I wish my wife like to do things like you do. She’s never even touched the lawnmower in her whole life never picked up a shovel never washed your car. All she does is go to work and come home and I cook and clean and make all the meals.

[@dougtravins9624]

Julie looked so happy with the performance of this cutter. Great for both of you.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It has worked out great J.♥️

[@phatzgunderson]

I read the thumbnail and had to come and type. You go Julie!!!!!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

hahah, thank you J.♥️

[@tonyestvik7969]

Good job guys! Thats a good way to make little more "free time" for building!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Free time for Ian 🤣

[@noelmaher2301]

It turns like a bumper car, I'd love one

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It does drive like one J.♥️

[@larrysowada9905]

Julie's having to much fun with her toy, glad her fingers are doing well and now y'all can see where the sausages are. Larry

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

They are running around everywhere now instead of hitting the grass wall.

[@harryiv6107]

Love all your videos. You’re going to enjoy that zero turn more and more each day as you get comfortable with its capabilities.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Julie has not stopped - grass is getting worn out the amount of times she has gone over it 🤣

[@MOAJackson-u9f]

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Zero Turn is in the house! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. The property looks amazing after its haircut! Julie, you tackled that like a champ! 😋😋😋

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It is the best it has looked since buying it - really please J.♥️

[@ern48]

Super cool mower! I know you didn't have a lot or space beside you changing around the tractor tires but I always use a shovel to work semi truck tires in the last few inches as well as raising them to the correct height....easier on my back 🙂

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Will try it next time, they were heavier than I remembered for sure.

[@davidconneely463]

I have one of these, brilliant… had a Husqvarna 216 before and it kept breaking down for similar money this is a much better choice and all box steel…👍

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It does feel good quality

[@rjung_ch]

Nice mower, it is working really well. Cheers guys 👍💪✌

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Relieved that is has worked so well after spending all the money on it 😀

[@MaggieNS]

Love watching your video! Julie you make me laugh and love your spirit!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Than you Maggie J. ♥️

[@AuburnElvis]

Wonderful new mower! I bet that low center of gravity makes it so much more stable on hills than the tractor. Cheeky thumbs-up!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It feels safe so works great

[@alan-sk7ky]

Ian a towing Hitch might come in handy on the back of the Mower. 😉

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We do have a teeny trailer so it might be work it.

[@trevorpalmer1891]

Money well spent!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Relieved that is has worked so well - so yes we think so too J.

[@roberthale8407]

FYI I have that same engine on my Kubota zero turn and it uses about a couple of ounces of oil every 10 hours so keep up with checking the oil regularly. Also run it at full throttle when mowing not to lug the engine.

[@chrisjudge31]

100% on full throttle for mowing. Also check fluid level on the hydraulics for the drive wheels.

[@roberthale8407]

@@chrisjudge31 I need to look up that model and what pumps it uses as I know I have a reservoir for both of my pumps and actual filters.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Will keep an eye on this - We are up to 5 hours at the moment so not quite there but will take a reference now. 👍🏻

[@kevinbushey1879]

I remember you looking at those tractor nice

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Glad we did buy this one - it actually works

[@ScooterMLS1960]

Good job.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@richardbodor3318]

Great video! I love how you leave in all the groans LOL. Yes that riding mower looks perfect for the job, although I wonder how many tank refills it takes for that large an area. Personally, I would be worried about that gorgeous mower without more security, like a security gate for that area of the workshop. Love your videos and only missing the hens for a perfect update. Cheers from the USA ♥

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Plenty more groans off camera for sure

[@richardgreen7811]

I knew You had "screwed tha pooch" the moment you showed Julie the seat adjuster and she started making those sounds. I'm thinking you've had Your last ride on it. That "giggle" on the hills clinched it.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

haha, I don't mind - I can now retreat to the workshop know she is busy for a few hours 🤣

[@abdulhalimmohamedb18]

Best wishes for both of you... From Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾 .

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you 🙌

[@GmailDaniel]

La machine de Julie qu'elle prêtera peut-être à Ian lol. And I know you have a great level in french and it seem the instructions wasn't a problem ;)

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Elle comprend plus qu'elle ne réalise 🤣

[@liammcgothigan2094]

Hi Ian an Julie 👋

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Cheers Liam

[@georgewest2096]

Good choice for your yard.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

It was a risky purchase but it has worked out great.

[@jeffreycurrie3640]

Just a little note ,if you cut the grass anti-clockwise, your not dumping the cut grass on what your about to cut, just a thought.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

it all depends on the direction of the slope but now we are getting used to it a bit more we will try this. 👍🏻

[@kevinbushey1879]

That tractor will tip over on just the littlest incline 😂😂😂😂with the tires

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

you looking at the same thing - this was the least tippy over machine we have driven. Works perfectly on all the slopes

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

In the US, that cup holder is for your beer😂

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

She asked for wine Glass......too much

[@chucktintera1787]

Cup holder for beer, Julie, beer.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

she is bad enough without alcohol - but then again 🤣

[@theinfernalcraftsman]

I knew she would enjoy the new toy. They mow allot faster than a tractor which ends up saving time and fuel. I still use a regular riding mower as I move my trailers with it and zero turns can't tow any appreciable weight unless you like replacing trans axles. I'm catching up on videos after getting back from Greece yesterday and getting used to the 8hr time change... Went too far north to see your place from the plane. I like that little trailer. What's the weight capacity of it as that tractor is fairly heavy and I'd be hesitant to carry that on my 5x10 trailer. FYI a bungee cord on the chute makes it easy to lift up. Oh and that cup holder is for soda cans or disposable cups etc. I never use it as I'm not a fan of dirt on my drink. Coffee isn't a big deal here like it is in Europe where there are 10 coffee shops per person and people go from shop to shop. It's mostly hot here and we drink cold drinks. That said the first thing I did when I got home yesterday was make a batch of iced tea as all I can get in Greece is water and soda or canned iced tea. I'm not a coffee or beer drinker.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

I hope you had a great time in Greece. Good call on the bungy cord - the grass was a bit too long and pulled on the plastic chute. Julie loves it though and is never off it - grass is a little shorter now.

[@theinfernalcraftsman]

@@HomesteadingUncontained I need a vacation to recover from the trip... Lots of walking and mountain climbing. Lots of video driving around Naxos and iOS on an ATV to use somehow. I'm glad she likes the mower. I wish I mowed more than 4 times a year as I enjoy driving the mower with my earbuds in listening to music and only thinking about what I need to cut Very relaxing.

[@billyohara239]

O wow

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Cheers Billy

[@duncanblanchard334]

Looks like a really nice machine. I think the cows would eat your grass no problem, and comes with free fertiliser 😳.

[@michaeltempsch5282]

They looked about ready to jump the fence - it WAS greener on the other side...

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

haha, they did break thru last week. Cows were moved today as they ran out of grass.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We need to fence ours in and then we can ask him to put them in

[@MrVintageValues]

Ian, what happened to the chinese lawnmower? DId it not work well on slopes? Also on what incline/slope does the Cub Cadet work? Thank you, love your channel and all you are doing.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We still have it - bought it back to the other piece of land as it will go through all the nettles and spikey bits - works well but slow. The Cub Cadet seems to go fine on 40º and it is fast. Plus Julie loves to drive it and feels safe.

[@Mr19chuck49]

😊😊😊

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

👍🏻

[@jurgenh3671]

👍👍👍

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Cheers Jurgen

[@rodduncan1183]

In next weeks instalment The tractor will return to the plot to repair the damage to the driveway by someone who will remain anonymous doing Skids, Wheeles & general mayhem

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

haha, grass is nearly bold now the amount of times she has mowed it 🤣

[@rodduncan1183]

Dear Jules & Ian On Friday I posted up some OCA Tubers for you guys to attempt to grow , lets hope they get through customs. Is there a way to send you the tracking number Kiwi Rod

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Hi Rod - you can use the [e-mail] - thank you so much

[@Pinzpilot101]

Oooooo that thing is UGLY.....don't get me wrong, I owned a PINZGAUER 4x4 for over a decade.....that thing was ugly...but it was the best 4x4 I ever owned. So I hope this thing works for you.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

it works great - first single mower that has cut all the slopes with out the scare factor.

[@homer-fw8kn]

i dont see a roll bar the u s a have thim for hills

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

They come on the next model up - we did ask.
