That has got to be therapeutic for you just watching ten feet in front of you. I feel myself coveting a bit watching you. On another note... Do you have to constantly centerline that steering wheel after so many jobs? Does it have a centerline calibration, or does it matter? I know you work in "Mowssouri", but I wonder if there is a guy like you doing this in the "Mowjavi" Dessert raking sand dunes and blowing tumbleweeds. Hmmmm, something to ponder. 🤔

Yeah, you are right! The Tough Cut blades are TOUGH! Only 31HP and it eats right through it. The field was around 15 acres and took a good week to clear including the power line in the previous video. You have to blow out the engine compartment quite a bit when mowing this type of grass. Everything collects around the engine, so every 30 mins or so you're stopping to blow debris off.

I see you wore a respirator, can I ask why? (I'm curious about the reasoning for it)
@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri4 ай бұрын
I’ve developed some pretty bad allergies by tackling these overgrown properties. Now, I have to wear this in order to complete the jobs.
@Doofus1714 ай бұрын
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I thought maybe you wore it because in case you mowed something like poison ivy, poison hemlock or wild parsnips (and if it aeroslized the oils and compounds). I've heard some pretty bad horror stories and fatal outcomes of those things happening, and its made me question whether wearing a respirator and goggles should be a practice I do as standard practice.

So the mower deck is belt driven. Not PTO off the engine, that's odd.
@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri5 ай бұрын
All belt driven to reduce down time and break downs. Easier to swap out a belt if you hit something solid out there. So far, so good. It’s been solid

That ventrack is what about 30,0000.00 then you say they suggest a bigger tractor what a 80,000.00 tractor and most of them use a push mower or a 3,000.00 ridding lawnmower it sure is easy to sling words nice video
@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri11 ай бұрын
Yeah, the Ventrac is around $30K tractor. And when you bring out a full size tractor, you are WAY up there in price. Not to mention the bigger truck/trailer to haul it. Even then, there are areas on this job that I would NOT put a traditional tractor on. Simply because it's unsafe. Too steep. Too washed out. Perfect scenario for a rollover if you're not careful. Thanks for tuning in and watching! 👍😎💯
