STEEP Brush Cutting Job With Mini Excavator!

STEEP Brush Cutting Job With Mini Excavator!
Follow along as I do my first really steep and scary brush cutting job with the brush cutter mounted on my Kubota mini excavator!!

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL, I cannot confirm nor deny if my face ever met the front windshield!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

🤣🤣🤣 Mine came aweful close. Only the seat belt that stopped me!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Nice project for the new cutter. I hear you on hidden obstacles when it's thick brush. Yep, not fun to whack a big rock! Thanks

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! Besides the really steep terrain, I had to be careful not to fling mower debris at their house. Didn't want to break any windows 😂

Hi Chris, Great job, when it was grown up it was very deceiving, looked flatter than it really was. I think you had the right tools for the job. Thanks for taking us along

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It was definitely steeper than I thought it was going to be, and the big drop off at the bottom wasn't helpful either 🤣

[@chargermopar]

A lot better than a portable string or blade trimmer!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Definitely! It has been a great piece of equipment to have 🙂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Looks like fun, always is when you don't expect what you get into.. Thanks for the video Chris! Machine works pretty good 👍😎

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Fun isn't the right word 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Ed!

Man yeah, you did amazing on that slope!! Been there a few times myself in the past, things never seem to be as they appear!! That cutter works amazing, we have a huge flail mower for my 80 at work, but it's so heavy your.can really even swivel on the table with the boom extended. When they bought the 057 they got a smaller more machine suited mower. Mine doesn't get used much anymore since 🙏 I so love the before and after pictures sir!! Awesome job!! Thank you for bringing us along, look fwd to more!!😁👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I wasn't 100 percent happy with how it turned out but given the conditions it wasn't too bad. That's what makes it tough for sure when working on a steep slope- the weight of the cutter head. Thanks 🙂

[@ihfarmer8164]

Looks like that mower/excavator combo does a good job, really made short work of that steep area. Should be a very desirable service to add to your business. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@jankotze1959]

That is very steep Chris, glad you manage to cut it, but with your experience it is a safe job

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

That would work great for ditch lines too

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure does!

[@houndsmanone4563]

I sure like that brush cutter you have on the boom. I think it's doing a great job. Thanks for talking us through what you're doing as you go. It gives us an idea of what we're seeing vs what you're seeing at the job site. Enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🙂

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! I hope you are doing well 🙂

Is this suitable for grassed banks/areas? Instead of strimming by hand, this is an option I'm considering but I'm unsure how good of a finish it would give on grass? Similar to strimming it?

[@rescue4712]

If u would come down from the top an have the cutter in front of u u could sit cutter down an that would stop u from sliding,an u cut crossways ,don't have tracks facing down hill

[@rusty1569]

Nice mower..I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Rut for my Kubota kx40.

[@Northeastohio]

Glad you got it done

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks!

[@southerndirt9589]

Nice job looks like a normal day for us I would be lost on flat ground

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

My problem is I am used to having a bucket on to help maneuver the machine on steep ground 😂

[@onehappyfarmer3461]

That would be a handy tool to have. They do lots of work.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure is- already paid for itself this year!

[@703am]

you make it look easy , sure beats doing it with a weed eater,,, take care, enjoyed the video

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I am starting to get the hang of it. Definitely faster than by hand- thanks!!

[@brycewiborg8095]

Rugged country. I know your area somewhat. Scenic, but tough to work. Thanks Chris.

[@tommott77]

What size/brand cutter is that?

[@wildcatwilly]

Will you do any more videos of this mulcher? I really enjoy watching the mini excavator work.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Definitely! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@deanbarr5740]

Way too steep for my comfort zone Chris. That stuff just keeps encroaching on the property. Once it gets started, I know of no way of stopping it do you? Have to say you did a great job.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Regular mowing is the only way to keep it under control. I think it had been many years since they had it done. Thanks Dean!

[@johnness5786]

Hi Chris, I have a mini ex and was curious what size your machine was as well as what mower you are running.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It is a KX033-4 and a 36 inch wide cutter. I did a video on it when I first got it if you want to go back and see more about the cutter. Thanks for watching 🙂
