Thanks for the video, very nice I wish my grampa had that back in the 50''s.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it! I was so surprised at how well it cut! Like a zero turn in the pastures!!

[@keithbass8681]

Josh, I think that did a super job. I was a little worried at first thinking it would throw things back at you but it did not. It looked really good and really safe. You don’t have to turn your head around like in a tractor and I love that.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

thanks Gary!!

[@kriswhite1344]

WOW! ITS "PARKED OUT " Looks wonderful

[@toddpacheco4748]

Josh,that brush cutter just took a lot of junky brush away saving time for you to be able to get something else done ✅ excellent video 👍😮😊❤

[@bubbakemp5817]

That cutter is a game changer! Awesome!

[@kdegraa]

What a great mower. Cutting out front, especially wood weeds makes a lot of sense. Of course most land holders can’t justify a machine powerful enough to run this slasher it is always good to see one in action.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

about to head out and use it today!

[@petetownsend7142]

We use a cutter similar to that on our articulated Bobcat at the airport where I work. YES, YOU MUST TILT THE FRONT as most of the cutting debris are ejected out the front. Cool vid, thanks for the share.

[@gckshea]

I'd prefer that castle nut on the stump jumper be recessed in an access hole in the stump jumper. With it sticking down in the path of stumps, rocks, etc., that defeats the purpose of protection. But love the drive forward access to tight places...it's such a pain driving backward on a tractor. What a transformation, Josh! Nice!!

[@gungadinn]

Raise the front of the cutter up another inch or two. It will cut better and direct oore debris out the front. In thick stuff, raise the "bucket" and then tilt downward into the weeds/scrub trees. Don't know if the Gehl is a high flow machine or not, but most brush mowers and forestry mulcher heads love the higher flow rates and aids in cooling the hydraulic fluid.

[@mcchupka9718]

Looks great! Good job.

[@bencarter2807]

Your a smart man I believe so instead of overkill with that monster cutter on dog fennel. One thing I really admire about you, when you get a product to use and review, we get the unvarnished truth. If you ever run for city dog catcher you got my vote! Im sure you could haggle with another farmer nearby for 6 or so goats you could borrow to clean up the wooded areas, then you can go back and seed it for the cows, probably done late fall or early spring! Cant wait till you have some kayak videos!!! You be safe out there...win win

[@rg1599]

I rent a Bobcat with a brush cutter once a year for a week. I get an amazing amount of work done for +- $3000. I get a newish machine with A/C and ballistic door and they fix anything that breaks. They deliver and pick up. It’s a chunk of money but I can rent it many times over for what it costs to buy. Costs me about $7500 to hire someone for a week. When I run it I cut exactly what I want cut. I especially like being able to cut thorny plants like locust and mesquite trees without flat tires.

[@PhilBilt]

Impressive machine!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

thanks Phil!!!

[@shilo7535]

The bloopers always get me laughing😂 Thanks for the post Josh!

[@user-tv5dt3nm9y]

I just got a quote on the 60" cutter from Tri L. I was told $6850. Tri L told me it has a White 355 drive motor and the sides and deck were 10Ga which is .1345". 60" weighs 720lbs. Other cutters of same size weigh 100+ pounds more.

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Looks great. Sometimes simple is best.

[@davidmack8813]

Josh Daniel Arms a fellow KZbinr bought or is using a similar cutter he got ballistic glass for forward window/door on his skid steer as risk of getting hit with flying objects while cutting was fairly real. Please take care. I like you to not get hurt

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep ....I know Daniel, we used to be friends

[@hugh5805]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer used to be friends??

[@ralphbenson9682]

I think that when you adjusted the cutting height you made it cut lower, not higher.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I know...I'm special aren't I....I saw that when I watched the vid....lol.....duh!! Good catch!!

[@704406bbl]

A viable piece of equipment there. Where you made will be a great place for the cows to lounge during the heat of the day. Looking good!

Hey Josh thank you for the video Woo

[@kathrynbraun2073]

I think it’s way cool(I’m a senior, still using language from’60’s-as I’m 65 😉)

[@ctgoss7207]

You need to torque those bolts down that hold the gearbox to the frame and the hydraulic motor tack weld the bolts so they don't come loose play they will come loose and you'll keep having to take off the stumpjumper so it's easier just to tack weld the tips of the bolts grind them down if you need to change anything

[@donaldsavage3699]

Love your channel,, I wish we can join you, it looks like lots of fun! 😊👍

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thank you 🤗

Awesome video! Quite a difference just getting rid of the scrub brush.

[@karlsening7726]

Awesome cutter. Just like a forestry mulcher

[@ianhaggart1438]

Not seen many hydraulic mowers that dont have a case drain line or bypass for the motor to protect it and the skidsteer... but interesting all the same.. would love one on my sperry newholland 775 but would fit a door guard as iv seen all sorts flying from big mowers.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@awy1977]

Basically a bushhog but in front of you. Should be much more convenient than a pull behind on a tractor for trimming up to and under fences. Nice work.

[@alh9338]

Nice! Also, now that its cleaned it should be easy to set up fencing and water for the future pigs 😉

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You got that right! Actually the pigs will be in a different area....but near this spot for sure!! We won't run hogs where cows go...this can cause diseases like blackleg and tetanus...lessons learned from other farmers

[@vincentnail2881]

Nice work with the machine!

[@darrenstibbard6773]

You should get a wheeled dolly to put your gear oil on so you can just wheel it around your shop not having to carry it. Or build a wood one using castors.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

that's a great idea!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna get one!

That is one handy tool!! 💪

[@CaptTony107]

I just wanted to compliment you on the care you take to set up your camera(s) to include various angles, shots, and items of interest as well as speeding it up when appropriate. I liked the one shot here where you lifted the deck to show us the underside. I was wondering what it looked like when working and how much debris was collecting under the deck. Also, it appeared you may have incorporated a clip from one of your security cameras in one clip? Great job. I'm sure it takes a lot of time setting all of this up along with all the other daily chores, but it is noticed!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

That was a GoPro shot. So much work goes into creating a video like this. Thanks for recognizing how tough it really is!

[@denniscleveland669]

The deer will be all over that area tonight!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Looks like you’re having a lot of fun Josh!! I have never ran a skid loader but I’m sure it’s a lot safer in the woods than on the back of a tractor..

[@WeSRT4]

You really need a forestry door using that. If you mess around and raise that thing while it's cutting you could have a major injury or worse.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

surprisingly enough...the mower kicks debris mostly out of the front, as long as I keep it low its great...the mower actually has a chain hookup nearest to the cab to attach to prevent ya from accidentally raising it too high..just have to be cautious! A ballistic door would be best..I agree

[@themintlord4744]

Everyone who runs one without a door thinks they can handle it... until they can't. It's how my grandpa got a brick to the face several years ago. Stay safe!

[@paulpowell9579]

Josh, we love your vids. Gonna be hard to put out more content if you have a rock where your head used to be. Not getting in your business, but I want to keep watching you.

Ahh.. it's fine, at least till it's not.

[@bradsuarez2683]

1000% It just takes one bad angle to mess you up forever.

[@ctgoss7207]

Also you need to tack weld the bolts on the brush hog head

[@MisterBech]

Looks good, after you clean out in there, what will grow? Dies grass take over or does the brush come back?

[@jayroser9876]

I would be afraid of getting a flat tire with the loader.I like the skid steer better

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

oh I think the skid steer would run circles around a tractor, but good tractor tires should hold up fine in this kinda brush

[@RichardMoe-xs8pl]

Wow! Im going to need one of those . Pricey ?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

about what you'd expect from any front mount brush cutter....I was really impressed!! Tough as nails!

[@pakviroti3616]

The cotter pin on that castellated nut is installed incorrectly.

[@daveroseman1185]

One of my friends from Perma Farming uses goats to clean places like that.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep....goats will goble it up, but you'd still have to cut down all the brush afterwards

[@allenhutchison5249]

That's awesome!!!

The first thing you done was move the wheel up and that lower the cutter

I don’t mean to be up in your finances, but how you complain on earlier videos you can’t afford hay for cows, but always got a new expensive gidget or gadget like this or skid steer or new (to you) tractors for $5000. Perhaps you’d have the hay money were it not for gear chasing elsewhere in the budget

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

we discuss the various aspects of farm finance. Creating content around equipment, farming, tools and cooking is how I earn my living. A man cannot earn a living solely on 150 acres and 50 cows....perhaps now you have a better understanding my friend. My "town job" is here, farming, teaching, growing and building. Discussing the farm's income is in a totally different basket from my content creation business....understand a bit more? The farm should feed itself by now. It should earn a profit stand alone, but you see how much money I spend...that comes from content creation. On the business side of things I employ several contractor teams of editors
