My father in-law has a 7 foot I don't remember the brand. It was heavy and had two separate wheels on the back. I mowed for him a lot on his Ford 4500 if I remember correctly. I got on his tractor to go mow but had a flat on the front. I raised the hog up and no more flat it pulled so much weight off the tractor front. I drove it about a mile to air up the tire. He did split the side of it when he hit a rock and the blade pushed it around and cracked the curve on the side of the mower. I watched him hog 4 inch saplings cutting fence lines out. I was never brave enough to do that. Since he passed tractor just sits in the shed for last 7 or 8 years. It gets started is about all. Watching you brought back some good memories.
thats why i bought a tractor with a cab. Ive had many snakes out sunning themselves on a low limb and then her i come along and the fall off onto hood or sometimes into my lap. Scared me as much as them, lucky i was never bitten. Cab, 10ft cutter, and 130 hp is the way i go today. Thanks for the fun video
That is what I always loved about bush hogging. You go into a place and it just seems wild and untamed, yet when you are done there is a finished passable road to use through the woods.
I'm 100 miles east of you and they are saying we will get some of that 'smilin weather' next week-- lower humidity and temps. I hope to get all my trails and lanes knocked down next week when the daily floods stop. I've been chased by hornets and wasp from above and yellow jackets from below but have never had bumble bee problems until you posted your video the other day! Two days after it posted I ran my left tires smack over a nest. Thanks to your video I knew exactly what they were and eased on over to the next field for a little while! Thank you for the education!
Oh yeah!! now THAT is some brushhogging!! you took on some impressive trees. I used to blaze a trail like that(not quite as bad) with my 5 footer but I got rid of it and bought a 10 footer for my fields that isn't near as useful for tight spots like that.. that put an end to a lot of my trail blazing. I did get a nice 8 point one year using a path I had cut.
While I enjoyed shredding with a bush hog for many years . The CTL’s with mulching heads have really made doing these jobs more efficient and comfortable. Understanding the tracked skid steers aren’t cheap and most times you do with what you got it’s a pleasant option if it’s available.
Yeah we have an 8' bushhog brand 3008 and a flexwing 12' bushhog 1812. Both of them are tough as hell! We pull them with our 110hp, 90hp and 85hp tractors. The 110 and 90 are cabbed, but I prefer the uncabbed for in the woods like you are doing. The cabbed ones are too easy to get busted up in the woods.
It's amazing what a good driver can do with equipment. I have a 39hp Kubota with a 72" rotary mower; I cut the same as you do. Just go slow and steady and you'll cut almost everything you want from grass to shrub trees. I just cleared a nice little food plot for a neighbor, was cutting thick grown shrub tress from 1" thick to 4" thick some a little thicker.
Aaaah , there's nothing more satisfying than a EXCELLENT bush hogging video ,and I thought that I was the only one that stuffed my 5075e down thru the woods.
The modern tractor vs old school clutch and gears is night and day!! We have a lot of deer that hang around on our farm. Sulfur blocks and water they love
I just boufht a used 296 that im getting ready to go back into my 3-4 acre woods with. I have a JD 5055 open cab and a 12' JD batwing i bought 5 years ago and love them both. The batwing is too big to manuver through my woods until i get it cleared out a bit more so i chose the 6' Bush hog so it will get to the edge of my rear wheels. This will also help me clean up the corners in the hayfields. Your a destoyer on that thing. What size is the JD?
I agree the cab tractors are nice and comfy but can get beat up in the woods. The open tractors work as long as you don’t hit bad weather or hornets nests….
You might want to go talk to jason Hollis Farms and borrow his heavy duty brush hog, brown tree cutter it would go through the brush like a hot knife through butter, love these rype of videos.
I’ve always noticed that slow cranking since you bought that tractor. Also, I had your previous video playing in the background last night and I could always recognize when you put it in reverse by the higher pitched whine from the shuttle shift and have heard that on other shuttle shift tractors as well. Not sure why they do that?
can you tell me how to activate the 4wd on john deere 5075e ??? I know that the pedal is on the floor on the right side but I don't know how to activate it.
Can adds about $10,000 . Plus depending what your doing don't always need a cab. My grandfather hayed 1000s of acres every summer without a single cab.

I could do that all day long. Love going into that heavy stuff and tarring it up. Enjoyed watching.
Mowing thru the tall/thick brush, I'm amazed your toolbox has remained with the tractor.

You are right, slow and easy 👍🏻

Nothing beats tractor therapy
Nice work. Got a lot cut down. It was like a jungle!
Good job Tim, some hairy stuff there👌💪😎
You need a forestry mulcher, it's like Miss Piggy on tracks!
We need a good ol brush hogging video, that combination is perfect, watching some vids again
I filmed one this past week I’ll be posting soon.
@@cotontop3 awesome 💪🇺🇲🌲
I could watch this all day!
It's almost a jungle adventure.
I bet it is fun. I can see that from here. 😅👍

What size is the JD?
Im wanting to get into bush hogging. I got 7ft offset. Any tips I can use to get into it?

Hey Tim. Would be cool to see a split screen video. One camera facing forward and one out the back. Course i dont even know if thats possible.
I was thinking same thing to s e before/after progress
Have you had hold of a long anvil 1 inch Fuel yet? Thoughts vs the one in this video if you have?
I love the sound of the 5E 3cyl. machines!:) How many hours are on your 5E right now?
That’s definitely brown tree cutter territory. Get Jason’s since he don’t use it much😂
How many times have u service ur four wheel drive on ur tractor 🚜 nice to see that 5075 bush hogging 👍🏽

Damn, that looks like prime stuff to find a big ol balf faced hornets nest in!!

It’s the planetary gears they use, my kubota and new Holland both made that exact sound in reverse
How much would a tractor like that be a month?
low gear, creep along! you got it!
Seems like you just put new blades on that rig a few years ago.
2017
@@cotontop3 My hand still hurts watching that video!
@@kevinlester2964 there’s some dates that stay in your mind forever lol
I remember that like it was yesterday, OUCH!!!
Replace the starter if you haven’t already. Best one out there is Amazon about $150
Nice job, looks like you was in poison ivy heaven
Getting new blades and bolts for mine in the morning
can you tell me how to activate the 4wd on john deere 5075e ??? I know that the pedal is on the floor on the right side but I don't know how to activate it.
T handle left side of seat
Your getting a lot done with a medium duty mower.
you should see the blades on a john deere bushhog
So you ever thought about getting you a brown tree cutter like Jason from Hollis Farm has ?
I've got a 2010 5055 and it dragged soo bad u didn't think she was going to hit they just got bad starters imo
Definitely fun until you run over a nest of ground wasp. That’s the only thing I dislike about my open cab tractors.
Need a 2 foot high Pre mower and then a hog out back.
I was thinking you forgot you where on a tractor and not a skeeter. 🤷♂️
Be sure to check for ticks, chiggers will tell you later.
Reminds me of the time you smashed the dog out of your hand changing blades on that thing... Still makes me shake my own hand.... Damn
Puts me in mind of mowing gas pipeline in eastern ky.
👍
Why won’t you go reverse first to cut a trail
Where have you been
I thought it was brush hogging.
You need to get you a skid loader skid loader with a mower on the front of it you will absolutely have a blast with it
Brown tree cutter………
Why would you spend all that money by a tractor? They don’t have a cab on it that’s absolutely stupid.
Can adds about $10,000 . Plus depending what your doing don't always need a cab. My grandfather hayed 1000s of acres every summer without a single cab.
