WICKED MOWING! 10' Flexwing Devours Trees! Unique Audio Experience

[@GMBiorn]

That was entertaining, productive, and enjoyable to watch. The not-in-use tower building and surrounding area look better when the greenage is cleared. The Rhino does the job; the clover cutting gives the machine a rest before returning to the heavy brush. Thanks, TTWT.

[@leedawson8301]

I would recommend leaving your bucket on and go forward through the thicket. With your bucket close to the ground you can knock over most of the highest stuff so your mower deck don't work as hard. Nice set up

[@lorimiller5791]

Lee Dawson That's how we roll. 😎

[@PinMonkey1960]

I was thinking the same thing. Pushing back into the thick stuff looked painful.

[@royburns1932]

Also with the bucket on and low to the ground things like hidden stumps, old cars etc in the brush will stop you before you run over them and damage your tractor.

[@leedawson8301]

@@PinMonkey1960 pushing back into the brush kills the wheels and wheel mounts. It also puts an extreme amount of pressure on the hitch itself.

[@patalexander3702]

Lee Dawson It looked pretty painful! Power and a tough mower at work!

[@nealtubbs9608]

It's really amazing what you can cut with the Rhino.

[@ronalddean4834]

The people around your community must love you for all the work you do. Part of my Sunday school lesson and readings this week are on just that. Faith without action. That's something you don't have to worry about. Thanks for the video I really enjoy just watching machines work. God bless all

Thanks for the kind words.

[@jonathanosborne9889]

God bless you Tim and Kristi stay safe thanks for another video

[@bradley975]

The addition of the two way mics and conversations between you really enhance your video. I know from personal experience having been a video producer and camera man for over sixteen years how much work this must take. But the results are great.

This is by far my favorite on-going project. And I love that Rhino!

[@steventhomson2042]

Love watching Johnny 5 in action. The TS10 does an amazing job, almost like a finish mower! Nice shirt Christy!!!!!

[@CJ-sm7tp]

It might not be what you say entertaining but there's a joy in watching something that start off to be not very good and then you see the final result and it's useful to somebody

[@bradolsen9981]

Tim I think your new audio system is working really well I think you picked a good one

[@peterkober6758]

Tim Christi great you cut some big stuff enjoy watching how things work God Bless All PaK

[@kapperoutdoors]

I like those Rhino bush hogs, they seem to be well built! Another nice video Tim, and liked the cab audio too. Thank you

[@johnkovac4436]

great audio even during wind and noise can hear words clearly,love watching batwing brushhog,guess in little weird lol

[@2LateIWon]

In my experience its best to go forward. I always have my bucket on to for thick tall stuff. I use my tractor to push it over and get it to leaning the way I want when the brush hog cuts it. I find I can brush hog bigger thicker and faster this way. Plus if there is something big hopefully I can see it before I hit it with the mower. but your method worked too. God bless

[@denisewildfortune4058]

Awesome shot of you emerging from the brush! Entertaining as always, Tim!

[@bradhorgan660]

Hi guys. Cant believe i have just discovered TTWT!. Big fan all the way from New Zealand!. My late parents owned their own dairy farm and tractors were my favourite part. Sadly my job is in the city now so havnt been on a tractor for a while. Thanks for all the great content amd work you and your family put into thevideos. Sending love from New Zealand.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Welcome to our channel, Brad! Thanks for the kind words. We try to have a good time, and yet get some work done occasionally too! Thanks for watching.

[@marioncan7270]

Love the sound!

[@steviemunier8411]

You really learn to appreciate the bigger units when you can just bomb right through 15 foot high brush with a 12 foot mower. really makes quick work of just about any job. lol nice job Tim.

Christy: You're still dragging a tree. Tim: Yes I am. I'm trying to camouflage myself. The RhinoAg 10' flexwing mower...ghillie suit not included! 😺

[@VideosfromNH]

Holy cow. Tim goes through those trees and brush like Godzilla goes through Tokyo. At first I thought, "I'll never need something like this. I prefer a flail mower." But this thing is great for that type of area. Plus, I'm a tech nerd, so I'd love to see how you set up your audio. It sounds great.

[@Aspire2Cycle]

Cool mic set up! Looking forward to how you did it. Been looking for a good mic to record audio as i record video. Got a corded lapel mic but want a cordless one! Love all the video's, when I was younger I work many years for a local grain farmer. My favorite job was mowing ditches waterways and other areas. My favorite tractor to mow with was a JD 4020 (power shift) with a John Deere 25a flail mower. I do remember one day mowing a ditch, and the back roller got stuck on a Cedar tree stump and threw me into the steering wheel. Almost knocked the wind out of me, that was a fun day! Thank you for working so hard to record all the videos!

[@fiorevitola880]

It seems a little windy there Tim, Christy should watch herself not to get blown away. Lol

[@rougaroux2359]

Folks y’all know Christy loves to help Tim, but I do not think that she gets the recognition that she deserves. Yes, tractor work is hard I should know. I done it for 25 years. But all the camera work she does and not to mention putting up with Tim (Tim I’m joking). Christy thanks for all the great camera work you do.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

She thanks you for the kind words.

[@anothergoogleuser]

Thank you for sharing.

[@warrentavernia5136]

great video Tim and sound system. guess I was wrong on getting rid of the big tractor for a kabota minnie. maby you can get one later

[@SoldierMed68W]

Definitely appreciate the extra work with the audio. It took me a minute to realize what you had set up, at first I was thinking, if Tim’s talking with Christy, who’s driving the tractor?!? 😂

[@MienTayTiVi]

great work

[@Akcd11r2002]

When i do large brush, i put the bucket on to lay down the stuff so it doesn't scrape the bottom of the tractor too heavily. It also helps with visibility when "tunneling" through tall stuff. If you hit something that the bucket cant lay over, chances are its too big for the mower anyway, and like you said hydro static is also key for this kind of work.

[@nohand322]

Howdy Tim. That Draw Bar Hitch is what holding you back. You need a Brush Cutter for the 3 point Hitch.

[@johnlease5551]

I agree that should use your bucket and push down what ever is in front on you. I have a 2038R with a 6 ft brush hog and it works good up to 3 in dia stuff. No problem going straight ahead and pushing down the brush first.

[@exotoguy]

The audio sounds great!

[@thomasfaucette6439]

i really like the 7' wide MX 7 3 Point mower its a nice one

What a beast.

[@avidoutdoorstv8545]

It looks great 👍

[@charlesbeasley3866]

do you ever sharpen the bat-wing blades?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Haven’t yet. They are pretty beat up due to rocks at this point.

[@Aspire2Cycle]

Try Sharpening flail mower knifes. At the end of each year, I'd take off the 36 knifes on our JD 25a flail mower and sharpen them or replace the bad ones.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Tim!! I know your channel is based on the smaller tractors, but some of this brush is screaming 100hp to me lol. Come on @JohnDeere and @Rhinoag let Tim demo some big stuff!!!

[@vinyalonde]

I really enjoy these videos. Great problem solving and it must be really interesting putting this equipment through its paces to see what it can and cannot do. I notice that with with this towed mower that you frequently have to look over your shoulder. Are there any aftermarket video systems that would give you enough of a view that you would not have to look back all the time? Thanks for posting this.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I have a camera system in the tractor.

[@Win-lr4ix]

That was oddly satisfying.

[@lorisheets2671]

Tim - my dad who watches you everyday and loves your videos said - “A Bush hog would cut that more efficiently in this situation.” He is a tractor 🚜 man too! Keep up the good work!

[@marksleeper3752]

great vid you should have your bucket on curled back just 6'' off the ground then it will push down the brush and find things with it

[@randyhill4549]

[@kurtsimmons1587]

Tim when you do a job like this with the amount of trees. Do you need to sharpen the cutters afterwards? If so how hard is it and do you have an extra set? Do you think inconel would make a good cutter?

[@TomTalley]

Tim, thanks for your work sharing all this with you. May I suggest that you stop babying the shreader. By riding the clutch in the tractor, you are potentially damaging the tractor clutch, which is harder and more expensive to replace than the clutch on the mower. If you will raise the deck up quite a bit for your first passes, you will quickly sort out the big stuff from the small stuff...good luck...couple of passes will fix it up.

[@stevea3717]

Hi Tim Christy and young un. from UK. Love your video's just bought a new 2036 and attachments thanks for the reviews they were really helpful. Every one who has land has to cut hedges, how ever on looking through your vids we can't find any thing on cutting hedges ,would it be possible to do a review on cutters available i'm sure there would be lots of interest.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hmm. We don’t do much hedge trimming on our property.

[@collinslawnmaintenance]

Do you guys know more of why the company kind of jut abandoned that tower? And also do you have doors on both sides of that tractor?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Do not know why abandoned. Yes, doors on both sides, but right hand door not easy to get in or out.

[@ngnmech]

I suspect as technology advances it is just cheaper to replace the tower at a new location that it is to retrofit the existing one. have heard of cases when cell towers come up for lease renewal that they just sign the deed over to the existing landowner. Here you go and you are responsible for demolition or maintaining the equipment and finding new leasers.

[@Aspire2Cycle]

Old pager tower, not too many uses anymore.

[@volvoben2]

Excellent audio - unobtrusive and natural, and allows two-way live communication...plus the actual audio quality was great. Must save some time to avoid adding voiceover in post too. I know you paid a lot for it, but I think you can rest easy knowing that was a good investment.

[@MeiklesAndDimes]

Behind the scenes episode would be cool!

[@genedameier8746]

I would always mow with the bucket attached so when I find junk/metal/logs/big rocks, I would have somewhere to put it and not have to go back later to collect it. Saves time.

[@t.conner4798]

That looks like so much fun, I bet it smells amazing. The door looked open on the tower house. Is it still in use? Very cool video, thank you for sharing.

[@fallofmanbrand]

great video bro

[@jammin60psd]

Brush like that doesn't care if it's raining. :) Field grass, sure. I have also found that running in higher gear say A4 instead of A1 can allow for smoother clutch modulation with the pedal to slowing back into stuff. The A1 just has such a mechanical advantage it I'll engage pretty quickly with very little modulation easing into it. Great vid! Would be interesting to see one of BaumaLite 's larger PTO mulchers on Johny 5

I saw another KZbin video with that same mower. He liked the mower. Eaglegards...

Ok cool so I got a massy 1540 and I’m disappointed in the lift capacity in time I would like to get a bigger tractor stuck between a 5 series or a m6060 kabuta or a Rx 6020 kioti the rx is rated for 3300lbs have to check them out one of these days

[@TractorTimewithTim]

If focusing non loader work, I would suggest a hydrostatic or cvt transmission.

[@killiann2121]

Tractor Time with Tim it has a 12x12 powershuttle and I love it for the bigger tractors I have a subcompact massy gc1725 and it has the hydro and I like it for around the house quick and easy

[@bill45colt]

next time you get to the dealer, buy a bucket. Put it on, lower bucket to 4" from the ground, let cutter down low so it barely clears ground and go forward at walking speed. Your bucket will push everything down to cutting level and cutter blades will do a great job. If you have rocks, raise cutter to clear them. Cutting in forward direction with rear of cutter one inch higher will serve you well

[@donaldthomas5852]

I didn't know they made a 10 ft flex wing. Good job . I mowed down bigger brush then that . That's what they are made for. I got a 7 ft and a 15 ft flex wing a 2615L Bushhog brand. Got a friend that got a International brand 10ft that's in really good shape, I going to be buying it from him . I do custom Bushhogging.

[@AndrewHillard1]

nice video

[@DLTJR1959]

Nice rig Tim. I use a TItan 3 point 10 footer. The Rhino is much nicer. On heavier stuff I can lift the Titan some and then back over if need be. I've got my rough ground in good shape now and don't have to do that. Just be careful of your tires. I keep a plug kit with me at all times and only go in one direction. Using an air conditioned cab here in NC in August is nice to say the least. Really like your videos. You do a great job. Thank you.

[@ericflax948]

I really enjoy the content you are providing! Do you not get very many wildlife habitat improvement jobs? I would think there would be some folks who'd like to develop their property creating cover or food plots for the critters. It'd give you a chance to try out some other implements like a drill or no-till drill, disc, culti-packer or roller/crimpers.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Don’t get any requests for this. I would like to put in a small food plot on this property.

[@allenelmore4570]

Tim, Lee and the gang are correct, and I hate to be the nanny police telling anyone how to do something, but even as heavy built as Rhino equipment is there shredders aren't really built to back over and into heavy brush, but rather pulled and like they say if you leave your bucket on and low you'll protect your tractor well enough. I was at an equipment auction just yesterday and saw a beautiful, practically new, TS12 that set a little lopsided and when I investigated I could tell that they had backed it into something with too much resistance with one side of the center deck wheels and bent it so that it is no longer level and would require serious work to straighten out or replace. Other than that, good to see you guys having fun.

[@ericstyer2890]

The RhinoAg cutters appear to be the most capable. Which Twister Series would you recommend for a TC35 shuttle shift? Take care and God Bless

[@garyluck4970]

If I back my jd bush hog over brush like that I bend shields in the back I found that out when I let someone borrow it they are made to go forward!!!

[@LongBinh70]

Seems too quiet. Were you running at 540 PTO rpm? I've done a lot of 'hogging over the years, but with a 3-point, not a batwing. You seem to be really babying something that big. For the heavy stuff can you make a first pass with the deck higher, then finish up lower? Certainly would be faster overall than at the crawl you were mowing at. An added benefit is being able to see the rocks and brush piles BEFORE you hit them! 😁

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We run at ‘ePTO’ speed. Yes, running PTO at 560rpm or so.

[@thomasfaucette1660]

i love that 5075E sumtime in the future i hope i can buy a 2wd 5075E open station with the 7 ft john deere mower

Awesome I do this every day rough terrain and large brush huge 12’ plus weeds out here in Southern California we had a late rainy season as most of us did and wow crazy Weed Abatement season this year my poor Mowers are beat up 🤕 I’m always welding and fixing them . I was unloading this am and noticed the right Side of my land pride-brush mower the skid folded underarms is all bent up , I’m on my 3rd set of blades this seAson i sharpen them everyday and they get beat up hidden rocks and cinder blocks ugh if the tires don’t hit it ya don’t know it’s there and boom 💥 poor mower !!! The work never ends!! luckily this coming week I’m doing a large grading job installing a new driveway and circular parking area that’s never had any gravel on it ever about 500’ x 24’ then a sloped driveway with a turn around that’s about 200’x 65 ‘ with crazy ruts when it was wet this winter and a mud hole In front of the entrance . In other words let’s grade taking my land plane , box blade and grading or like a dozer Blade for ditching . New ditch’s for the road a couple gravel Culverts to direct water thing is ya gotta control the water ! I love tractor work Tim it was y’all that inspired me to take the leap and do Something different in life and wow I’ve Learned so much I’m on my 2nd tractor which is a 2008 3520 with CAB as y’all know brush hogging in an open Tractor when it’s dry and hot out is no fun and where I work is so dry and dusty hot 100 degrees plus last few weeks is just crazy . I did that my first year and went to the cab !! Now I’m think I’m going Compact Track loader and an Open station 2038r for the small jobs and the track loader for mowing and grading . I wish I had a bigger tractor but as Tim knows ya need different size Machines for the variety of jobs . Sorry I’m rambling again THANK Y’all ya helped me change my life and start and new business I’m outside getting dirty on beautiful property helping folks out I’m just loving it !! Thank you guys so so much !!!! And God Bless !!

[@brucealvarez9263]

Look at that wind! And Christy had to stand out in it doing the video! Seems like the brush mulcher would have been the tool for parts of this job as well. The flexwing did it but seems like it was working pretty hard in the trees.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. We got about all of the trees we could with the rhino. We’ll need to use brush mulcher for the rest.

[@bgood424]

How do you price a job like this? I was curious the different ways to price jobs like this.

To cut the brush you must become one with the brush with all the extra camouflage

All this mowing make me hungry!!!...??? Lol. It's kinda sad to see some of the tree's being mow down. Can you make an episode on trees equipment transplants? Some of the trees can saved.

[@jamesberg3106]

Tim, back again. I bought the Deere MX7 rear cutter. I like it a lot. AND I am still fascinated with this TS 10. I don’t have property of my own to use it on. However I am now getting some bigger gigs that could use a TS 10 on. I would have to transport it separate from my tractor as my tractor takes up all the space. My question is, what is the width of the TS 10 with the wings folded up? I have seen you experimenting with using the mower on your smaller tractors. In my mind, this could be a hot setup for some of my larger work. Any suggestions for me? Are there some drawbacks? I am not going to use it in reverse. By the way, I just bought a swivel seat adapter from Northern Tool. Wow that helps the old back and knees. Good Bless and keep it up

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The TS10 is officially something like 93” wide when folded. However, that is when the mower is fully ‘raised’. In that position, the ‘top’ wheels stick way out. Lowering the deck (still folded) gets it down to about 5’ wide. Pretty amazing, actually.

[@jamesberg3106]

@@TractorTimewithTim , I’m “assuming” you get the use of the TS10 as a promotional unit. Like a teaser for the rest of us. (No jealousy or resentment here). I have a Deere MX7 which I think is a beast and I got it for an awesome price from 4 blocks away! We just got done with 39 acre. Most of it in fairly good condition, and some not so much so. We took the 3039r with an RC-2072 and the big tractor. It just had me wondering how much I would gain with the TS-10. Easy answer is it will take less time. In theory it would cut (pun intended) about a third of what it took. I like my time in the tractor so that always good. I like the efficiency of what you have, it would just require me to trailer it on a separate trailer, requiring two trips. By the way, God Bless you for what you do.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, Rhino provides the equipment for our demos. I think you will find even more improvement in efficiency than you might think. Let’s say you overlap one foot with each unit. For a 6’ unit, that would leave a 5’ cut. For a 10’ unit, that leaves 9’. So, 80 percent more effective cut with each pass! Also, the cut is MUCH better with a TS10!

[@jamesberg3106]

Thanks so much. That was what I am seeing. I am also seeing the 5075 handle it with ease. I am assuming you are running EPTO, and knowing your passion for power, maybe not. I used EPTO all weekend, 12 hours of saddle time, and it ran sweet. Figuring out the best ways to clean the various screens and filters has been a journey. Yesterday I only had to do it once.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. I run ePTO.

Question: how would a person load a 15ft flex-wing bushhog onto a trailer without a tractor? Occasionally I see them on government auctions but I have to load it where it is as it is.

Forklift or tractor loader.
