we were going trough blades on our brush mower so we tried 3/4" chain with a 8" piece of blade welded to it. Worked great. interesting and informative video

I have the 72” Quick Tatch Utility HD direct hydraulic drive cutter with the optional front brush guard on my Bobcat S650 with standard flow hydraulics and steel tracks. It’s a beast. This tool is clearly something they intended to make Best in Class. It screams over engineered. I take it into heavy growth Missouri forest to clear trails and also brush hog fields. Will easily take down the occasional 5” hardwood tree and withstands hard abuse. With the front brush guard you can raise the unit up, point it downward on shallow rooted trees like maples and push over 10-12” trees. You can rake the sides of trees with it to de-limb them. The V notched on each front side let you slowly bite into larger trees and work them down. The engineer said it right though. If you are wanting to take out large trees all day get a forestry mulcher. This is the perfect tool for cutting miles of trails in a day. Dan VanLier provides OUTSTANDING customer sales service and their tech service has returned calls ON THE WEEKEND to keep my equipment running. “Warranty” to them means “we don’t go by dates - we go by is the customer SATISFIED” This is the best equipment company I have ever dealt with. I continue to make them my go to attachment provider

Nice t-shirt venice Florida keep up the good content.

[@daddio7249]

Half the brush I see on these videos could easily be handled by my 45 year old Hardee 60 inch ditch bank mower. Three point hitch mount with PTO driven hydraulic pump driving a big hydraulic direct drive motor. The deck pivots 180 degrees from straight down to straight up 24 inches to the side of the tractor. On flat surfaces once you get a path started the tractor is always in the clear mowed area. Not much used in the last 25 years, before that changed the blades once because the mounting holes were elongated. Lost one blade when the mounting pin fractured. Never found it. Great for use on a farm but hard to transport with the deck on one side and the counter weight sticking out a like distance on the opposite side.

[@forestlawrencegrading9154]

That's quite informative for the average Joe there's two things that you encounter with brush mowers that you should have shown nothing like hitting a car tire You Don't See the funnest thing yet is to get an old mattress caught under there

[@bobivanski5635]

We run three fruit farms in Ontario. We have a John Deere 10 foot brush cutter that’s adjustable for center pull or offset and a 9 foot offset bushhog brand brush cutter both are used for weeds and cutting brush up to 4 inch in diam. We have some rocky soil where we grow pears both machines handle fist sized rocks no problem. These machines will handle anything you throw at them.

[@michellekay6896]

You should try the Land Shark Extreme , my husband and I run those on our John Deere 333G and it’s amazing. They are rated to go up to 12in trees. Always have the high flow running it , I see some of the other guys out here running without high flow on and it does nothing. I have a few videos on my page with it on if you want to check it out.

[@TommyRogersAlabama]

It's good to walk your area first so you will know what is ahead. Like I walk my yard before I mow the grass so I can pick up unwanted debris etc..

[@2naturesownplace]

good thing rocks don't break apart and send shrapnel everywhere!!! lol

[@michaelmactavish1728]

the kubota power

[@bobivanski5635]

They actually do. We farm fruit in Ontario. Our pear orchard is on rocky ground. When you hit that sand stone it’s like shrapnel. We have a plywood guard on the back of one tractor to help. It gets you in the back of the legs.

[@xenonram]

@@bobivanski5635 He was being a smart ass. He's trying to discount the benefits of the blades not shattering. He's too slow to realize the fastest, hardest, sharpest, most dangerous thing that can turn into shrapnel, is the blade. A blade shattering is MUCH more dangerous than a rock.

[@RenniaTrayvold]

Not to say that high speed rock isn't dangerous, but yeah that's the gist of it. Outside of a few specific specimens of rock, steel has a higher mass per given volume, thus a chunk of steel the same size as a chunk of rock is going to carry a lot more energy with it. It'll also tend to be sharper overall. There are a load of other reasons why the blade turning into shrapnel is worse, and obviously a few exceptions where a rock is worse... but yeah. I mean either way, if the rock is going to turn into shrapnel, it's gonna turn into shrapnel. Nothing you can do about that. You can however prevent adding the blade to it so... props for the initial sarcasm from the OP, but I don't think they put much thought into it.

[@customcreations-rickkramer5357]

Hey stan can I suggest something? Love all your videos but can you wear a lapel mic or high end mic while in your office. It's like Freddy Kruege's nails on a chalk board!! The 80's Freddy not the remake one.

[@lashlarue7924]

Main takeaways from this are: 1. You have to match the hydraulic flow rate to the right sized tool (and therefore use a big enough machine for the job); 2. If the tree is obviously a job for a chainsaw, then Bob's your uncle; don't bring a brush mower to a chainsaw fight.

Good show what about landprid

[@mlhm5]

IMO you would break anything given to you just to say you did.

[@blownaway4371]

...BUT can you clear Kudzu? Being a vine, it tends to not cutting as much as winding around the turning spindle shaft and forcing past and into the seal(s). What horsepower ratings of the skidsteer does your brush buster need to have to RELIABLY cut down heavy brush? If an owner already owns a skidsteer, I'm sure they wouldn't want to be forced to buy a heavier duty ($$$$$$) piece of equipment!!

[@yellowmetaldriver1460]

Should have added the skid pro x4 cutter in the mix.

[@ClaytonHartin]

What’s the price on a mower like this? Ball park price range.

[@josephhill702]

So, you can mow a rock, and get a variety of sizes of motors, for "small to medium size machines" of various horsepower, and cutting 10" trees all day isn't good. Thanks for the detailed info, let me grab my checkbook...

[@farmerbob4554]

I’d love to be able to use a brush mower but it’s all Canyon land here and everything is on a slope. We’re pretty much using string trimmers with metal blades.

[@dujak4772]

Check out a Ventrac with the tough cut. Tackles slopes and the mower is built solid.

[@farmerbob4554]

Chris Hubl Thanks. That’s a good looking unit. I’d like to see one in action on a canyon slope to get a better idea how it would work. Labor with the hand-held brush trimmer is pretty cheap so it would take something special to change the dynamic. I’m all for it but not gonna be an early adopter.

[@johngritman4840]

This is good useful information. But I wish you would cut a video like this into two parts; it moves too fast. Tough to remember all that you and your guest are saying. Why is that important? I have twelve acres of pasture that has not been maintained in about 15 years. I've basically got three choices: 1) wait until we rebuild the old skid steer we bought and put a brush hog on it, 2) bring in a fellow with a forestry mulcher and then rebuild the pasture (not a good idea, the grass is all alfalfa) or 3) bring in a few Scottish Highlander cows and rotational graze the pastures. Then we can put the horses on a decent pasture!

[@Fishcop-326]

I’d say the rock won this round.

[@flash1259]

That's nice looking mowers but, you need better blades. I've got a Bush Hog model 405. I used to have rocks the size you bent the blade on. Now I've got a bunch of smaller rocks. The blade looks about like it did when I put it on. I believe it was between 15-20 years ago. The roughest thing I've had that bush hog on is a stump. I've also knocked a few of them out of the ground. Not big oak. I had some pine and cedar stumps that had been in the ground for a few years.

[@wpog8453]

Most be a different type of rock. I can assure you that skid steer mower is tougher than the average bush hog.

[@flash1259]

@@wpog8453 It's limestone. Also the Bush Hog 405 isn't an average bush hog. It has been discontinued for over 40years. Just the bolts for the blades were $65 each. It is extremely heavy duty. The first time I asked about the bolts and blades the guy told me that I could shave rocks with it. I told him that I know because that's what I do.
