Yeah... Let's test the limits! 🤔😳

Alrighty, so let's see what this mower can actually do and test those limits alittle bit shall we?!... 😆🤔
Keep in mind that I am NOT damaging the mower or the blades as the steel is much harder than soft trees. Rocks tho damage a mower..

All remember the 11th hour on this very important day. Never forget their sacrifice!!!!!

[@crandonborth]

Don’t worry Mike... I put my safety glasses on while watching and eating my cereal. 😂

[@mitchbradley2386]

You are one hard working farmer for sure! I am impressed with your never ending desire to improve the farm land! Keep at it and thank you for your honest, real life videos

[@MeadowFarmer]

I could watch that for hours. I love your narration too! It's amazing how modern equipment makes such easy work out of what was a difficult task in the past.

[@JD7530Chris]

Time for a gen7 700 series. These optionally come with reversible fans. Awesome to see what that mower is capable off. Keep up the work 👍🏻

[@saskfarmer8957]

Those willows can be sharp when you mow them, you lucked out by not putting the stumps through the tires

[@ronaldpiper4812]

I love seeing him start power to mower low R.P.M. then turns speed up. Shows care and respect for equipment.

[@jon9785]

Shows care and respect for equipment!? Are you fucking retarded!? He shows the furthest thing from it!

[@factings3119]

doesnt everyone do that?

[@timdickieson4619]

Stand in the face of enemy fire and never flinch, but squeal like a girl at the site of a mouse 🐭 pitiful, pitiful, pitiful!😊😂😊

[@gavinperry7237]

It will be interesting to see how many of the sloughs will be full in the spring since the current & forecasted amounts of snow in central Saskatchewan looks like a good winter to have a snowmobile. Should be good moisture in the spring for crops.

[@HootMaRoot]

Is it mainly blade style mowers used in North America for scrub land like this? As over here in the UK and Ireland not so sure about the rest of Europe that flail style mowers are usually the most popular for this type of cutting or heavy brush and ground that hasn't been maintained in many years

[@jeffwilliams3642]

The farmers in the U S use them alot to do what Mike is doing. I dont know if they are popular in Canada but i would think so. The Flail mowers over here are not built to cut what he is cutting. The highway dept. use the Flail mowers to cut the grass on the side of the roads.

[@jaredjohnston9549]

Sitting here thinking I would shut the window mike. I would buy a window vs going to hospital and if you break the window and go to hospital then you really messed up. I love those mowers.

[@kmilton1593]

Mike, instead of backing up to cut brush, like they do in India and Nigeria, just drop your full-width bucket to the ground with a slight upwards tilt of the loader, put loader arms on "float" setting, then you can go forward and cut the bush going round and round. (these two videos have been painful to watch).

[@mariorembold7999]

Perfect demonstration of the Fendt Vario CVT. Get any speed just by a tip on your joystick! 👍

[@adamjackson9586]

What’s the serial number? Don’t want to buy that one second hand!

[@automandan]

I'm calling this Mike having too much fun with the mower part 2.🤣🤣🤣

[@cjatmountain]

Hey Mike,Being naturally curious I looked up the Seppi equipment,incredible,nothing that they can't process,pricey yes but the end result is superb.Almost made it to your nieghborhood "Shaunavon" this summer,maybe next year. C.J. Thunder Bay P.S. Was reading that harvest yield was fairly high in a 10 year average,even with the SW being poor,is it the same info you are hearing?

[@DrBlood-cq2cm]

Yacking finally stops at 9:15, then cutting finally starts.

[@sevngersinver8768]

Hi I'm from India love you

[@rubenbraekman4515]

Some farmer way back in the day worked his ass off to make that field farmable only for the duck guys to ruin the place 😅🤦‍♂️

[@LuGer212]

"it is october something, today" - right at the get-go, mike has me in shambles. keep being you, you weirdo - we love you for that

[@Hundo520]

mike somtimes you can stop talking and give us more equipment times you are a good dude but you talk way to much thank

[@Northern_Farmer]

I'll be doing some of the same...only I'll be using my D8 to shave it right off to the ground...it's hay ground so no need to get the roots out yet

[@johnmorgan4017]

You’re braver than me. I don’t go back forward. I go around and shave the same direction. It never fails. There’s that 1 that didn’t cut off. And up through the tractor it goes. Lol

[@billdasther9543]

Not to bright to use a mower on trees...that's why the dealer claimed u effed up mowers insides after u were done

[@mikemitchell2554]

🤔 Not sure what you talking about but I have video evidence that says otherwise 😆

[@tacitus7408]

Man I hate to see you destroying that duck habitat in order to farm an additional few acres. Canadian prairie potholes are vital nesting areas. Meanwhile, duck numbers continue to decline.

[@stevebeamer2153]

We are east of Edmonton and there is no drop in duck numbers around here, we haven’t had hunters here in years

[@markymarc136]

Mike, just want to say that I would do the exact same thing if I was in your shoes: I would mow down those bushes and do it with a passion. My fields would be Clean!! Oh and safety first? LOL! Have a good one Mike!

[@jeffreyhouston2043]

Going backwards is a sure way to find a freshly cut stump with your tractor tires. The back glass open is puzzling to say the least, lol.

[@7rixee]

95 % sure thats not the intended use case. 😂

[@techman8817]

You just need a 30 foot high tiller to turn those trees over

[@ben_syxxes8179]

That’s a sweet unit mike! I recently just picked up a similar mower and was told to never have a razor sharp edge as it will constantly get beat up from mowing brush or hitting the odd rock. The mower relies on the speed and weight of the blades to cut so having an 1/8th “ to 1/4” bevel on the blade edge will make it take a beating much better and hold its form compared to a razor sharp edge which is more desired on a finishing mower. Keep up the great videos!

[@altestic9436]

Shulte is watching this and thinking.. shoot!.. now we should start building combines! Mikey likes it!

[@nickman0303]

Mike, love the channel! Wife and I have a child same as Chapel. It's so awesome watching Ashtyn and you farm and start a family in these times together. ❤️

[@bjornfranssie587]

Don’t be gentle.. it’s a rental 😂😅

[@Risqusa]

Be avare, when you fold wings. All trash falls in the center piece. Next time you lover wings there is possibility that you bend PTO drive shafts.

[@sheldonkleinsasser1058]

Been there, done that lol

[@ericks02]

that schulte mower cuts good, and i understand why ya got it Mikey, but imagine the dream of mowing it with a degelmower and a side arm! swinging out to the side and not having to back up into it all, no worries of rocks lauching at your rear window (not a fun time when they go out) and no bent blades unless you try to mow a literal boulder lol but i get it. also, it's coming back to farmland nice my dude!

[@ericks02]

oh man, even if you just knew somebody with a sidearm to borrow for the day. hook up the schulte to it and go ham!

[@randyschneider6086]

I made a shield out of lexan for the RM tractor,saw a rock coming at rear window the size of a football,made a small scratch on lexan but I still ducked.

[@CaptainMikesAdventures]

Be careful about letting the grass build up on your deck under the wing drive shafts. When you left the wings up the grass will fall under the shafts then when you left the wings back down the grass will be too high up under them and will actually bend you drive shifts. Ask me how I know lol

[@crandonborth]

Yup definitely thinking the same thing... I also was thinking that 2” to 3” stubble can puncture tires ask me how I know. 😂

[@randyschneider6086]

I know how you know🙄

[@dannycook7042]

If you was in Florida Mike there might be a rattlesnake or a cottonmouth in there definitely a few nests of fire ants those fire ants would be up your pant legs in a heartbeat

[@richardradawetz8788]

If you ever read the op manual they say never never mow in reverse. Duh

[@crandonborth]

I mean I have the skid steer version with hydraulic drive and I go both ways no problem. It doesn’t hurt anything... I find it grind up trees better.

[@richardradawetz8788]

But it doesn’t throw stuff in your face

[@rosslyntrigg9825]

From Soth. Aust. The mower is obviously doing a good job, otherwise you'd be staking a few tyres. I'm interested in finding out what problems you could have when the country is first cultivated and how you'll handle the stumps/roots. Or will they be pulverised too.

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Every plant is a weed if it is in the wrong place Mike !

[@darrenfincher7595]

Window cheaper than yo head brother!!!

[@saadtalks6186]

Hi.. Today i watch your first time at 7 ' 0 clock in morning and now its 2 pm. i am still watching your videos Sir I love your way of giving knowledge Love from Pakistan

[@olenilsen4660]

11:09 - you should be very careful about changing directions like this! I work with forest machinery, and it is while changing directions that a lot of branches find an opportunity to search out your delicate electronics or hydraulics. Those branches you just laid down, will now act as attacking grounded spears, that will search out every vulnerable crevace of your tractor. I might want to continue backing out, turn around and back right in again the other way. This way, the blades do their work before your expensive tractor gets there.

[@Axios31]

I was definitely wondering why you were backing over it. Time is free, a new paint job isn't!

[@solventassasin]

But of course. Test the limits of something that isn't even yours. Derpiness of Mike knows no limits

[@smockfarmer]

You should follow your own advice. Safety glasses and ear protection

[@gavinperry7237]

Brian Brown's dad would be in seventh Heaven with all those willows using their excavator with the new brush cutting / Mulcher attachment on the boom. Ivers Farms also have a handy piece of equipment that would work great on that project.

[@austanhall]

My uncle will be mowing ditch arond swiftcurnt and he has a prime tech mulcher and a subsoiler

[@tacitus7408]

Did you enquire of Ducks Unlimited as to leasing those pothole acres?

[@richardradawetz8788]

It was du land. He’s reclaimed it from the duck damage.

[@saadtalks6186]

It is October something today...🙃🙃🤣

[@duncanmcleish3683]

Mike please clean off top of the mower my OCD is getting to me. LoL

[@fredericdharreville2642]

Bonjour mike il vous faut un broyeur de marque bugnot ( France) broyeur forestier et cailloux et ça sera comme un jardin Le plus simple il faut y allez en marche avant pour broyer pour information il y'a un vendeur au Canada pour les broyeur bugnot

[@BillStecik]

Mike a seppi does not work that well in willows . They are too skinny and slippery

[@benswift2566]

Shut the bloody window😡 your safety glasses won't save your head. The tractor has a window for a reason.

[@John-nc4bl]

Its good to see new farmland being created.

[@randyschneider6086]

Especially when the developers want to stick houses on every bit of available land.

[@eof3100]

They should put push bars on the back of all brush hogs for this type work especially .

[@alexterwilson8839]

Why not lower the loader to push the stuff down far enough to not get caught in the screens? If you covered that I missed it

[@richardradawetz8788]

If you don’t clean the ditches mowing will be for nothing

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Mike likes to tesr things, said his 3rd grade teacher!

[@Man-cv5ws]

We bush hog around 5,000 acres of pasture a year mountains of North Carolina. We have run every brand under the sun BushHog and John Deere have been good to us. Dude you would not be happy with the condition of our blades lol.

[@richardradawetz8788]

Once the clutch is smoking once it is prone to fail. If u know u know

[@rickerb7196]

Hi Mike! I noticed near the end, when you were stopping the pto, that the main shift coming from the tractor has a very large wobble going on. Isn't that really hard on the yolks/bearings? Great video!!

[@stakman78]

It's because the plastic shroud you see spinning is meant to be anchored both ends and not spinning hence why it is a safety shroud! Looks like none have been anchored properly as they are all spinning, you should not be able to see them turning.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike

[@1mlindberg]

Isn´t the covers on the pto shafts supposed to not spin ?

[@WBOS72]

That mower is a beadt. Thanks for sharing Mike.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Great video, I could used that setup for a day

[@michelpicton8357]

Content is awesome love that mower

[@Swfl_farmer]

The new gen 7, 7series has the reverseable fan.

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Guys complaining about corn stalks and tire wear are watching like😬😬😬😬😬lol

[@ericks02]

haha i love the willow taunt at the end lol

[@isakmyren4072]

You have a pto up front why not use it??

[@fredericdelage1542]

Magnifique matériel agricole et le tracteur et le broyeur est bien

[@robtall7696]

I don't understand why American/ Canadian farmers just let the PTO guard spin. Kinda makes it pointless 😂 just shakes the guards to bits.

[@markhoffert2685]

Hey Mike: I think after showing this on youtube if you have problems the warranty is off. I don't think that a bat wing is intended to chop down trees.

[@davidbetts480]

Hi Mike, very nice job.

[@laurentiuluta6713]

And deer? where will the deer rest and hide from now on? Or any other wild animals.......Yeah, you are right, we don't need those...

[@mikemitchell2554]

😆 The south farm has 4x the wild animals and yet it doesn't have a single tree or shrub because it's the barren Prairies... So where do all those deer live?

[@Sanbar11]

Would you ever buy one?

[@jimpolk]

I like the way it looks after you've been over it several times but the process is rather painful for me. FECON.

[@artm5294]

When you are smashing up all those cattails/bullrushes, aren’ t you spreading a “zillion-trillion” fluffy seeds to start growing next spring?

[@tobans100]

Better off to pile them up and burn them. Then disk it with a heavy breaking disk. Less shrapnel to deal with. Still looks fun tho

[@patmccraw6246]

I've lived in a farm for 55 years. Going slower bushhogging always works better.

[@ralphllivrah9551]

I bush hog rocky areas a lot. First pass over. I run the front bucket about half inch above ground and creep through. It’s great to find stumps and stuff before it gets to your tractor and bush hog.

[@jackking5567]

Hey Mike those cuttings are packed with dormant buds. Willow can be grown by just shoving a twig of it into soil and those dormant buds take over. Just a heads-up for when the cuttings are mixed into the dirt at the end - weedkiller of sorts should save the day if they grow again.

[@randyschneider6086]

I ran one of these for 13 years,for scrubbing brush like that it always cuts easier and cleaner in minus C weather.

[@johnwarwick4105]

That’s one tough mower! Not sure the rental company will be too happy when they see the video of what you have been cutting though 😂

[@philipfleming3546]

Mike, why not get small excavator an dig out,, cutting just spread seeds.

[@austanhall]

My great grandfather made the ring around the blades because if you hit a rock it can bend your blades up and they can cut through the deck

[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice looking mower Mike

[@tomchaplin4372]

great stuff Mike !

[@samskeeter1]

Will the ground freezing solid finish the willows or will they be back in the spring?

[@alexc06]

🐁🐁

[@jacquesvandermerwe1673]

Hi Mike . why dont you put anti smash and grab on our windows we do tree felling and put it on our back window of our trucks and never had a problem again it comes in clear

[@johnkruger3661]

My luck I would put a stump through a tyre done it several times on my farm

[@tugboat2739]

Howdy mike

[@allenmoore4186]

Mike, the window being open isn’t a good idea for you or us the viewer.

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

A Salford would chop up those roots and not care.

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

Or wishek disc

[@jskcake]

I wonder if an old forager could do the same job just faster 🤔

[@anwaruwid]

اشجار الصفصاف؟!

[@rollie3383]

There are cattlemen who do this too. They will put cows in a rough spot for a day move them then mow behind cleaning up the brush and weeds then the next time they are rotated to that area the grass gets better and better

[@philhosier9185]

Very good mower, very solid ! Nature will eat up those little pieces !
