Mowing the Forest with the Cheapest Brush Cutter I Could buy. (SUPER SATISFYING)

- Putting this Cheap JCT Brush cutter through her paces by clearing several acres of underbrush at my farm. The Cutter and the machine performed well after I upgraded the bolts that hold on the blades. The drive coupler will need replacing how then hopefully it will have all its bugs worked out!

These brush cutter videos satisfy an extremely specific itch I get from time to time. Wouldn't mind seeing more of it on the channel!
“Maybe the dozer, but that’s pushing it “. Well done on the pun sir! :)
Completely unintentional but I’ll take it 👍🏼😂
"The Point" would make a nice home site, with views in every direction. High on a hill, no flooded basement. One hell of a long driveway to get there. Nice and quiet.
Clear fields of fire...
Those things should come with a free metal detector to find the blades when they come off!.
It's super fun to reclear old grown up farm land to something useable again.
Beautiful piece of property brother nothing more satisfying than making some look nice 😎
I would brush cut less area and concentrate on brush cutting roads and narrow strips so I cold comfortably walk or ATV to most areas, but most of the property is still in natural brush. Though livestock is also an option.
I inherited 450 acres in Texas, it was completely covered in Mesquites, Cedar, Sage, and Pecan Trees. Took me 10 years to get where I wanted it, Mesquite trees if you cut them a hundred more will popup from the roots, so you have to dig them out. Still have to maintain it be it's manageable now.
I just sit back in awe at the work that our ancestors had to do to clear all the land that they did with nothing more than axes and horses, still boggles my mind.
Man that thing just eats up everything awesome attachment to have.
James Campbell enough about your girlfriend🤣
Drunk Dunk 😂😂 and she still a skinny ass
Hi Matt. Great to see you getting the bugs out of the cutter. I love the woods myself,having grew up surrounded by them. It never gets old. Has always I liked,shared.All my best.
Don't forget you can often get free/cheap labor for forest/woodland clean up projects by taking advantage of the local scouting type programs. You supply them with a space they can camp on and they in turn do work that helps both you and themselves. Trail clearing, firewood recovery, trimming off lower limbs and a lot of other forest work that matches up with requirements in their program for patches/badges.
They will naturally search around the camp site for dead/downed trees for firewood so you would quickly see all the dead stuff on the ground and the standing dead smaller stuff gone after just a few trips out.
I’m an Eagle Scout, my former troop is just out the road, I should talk to them, we camped there a few times as kids with the scouts
@@DieselCreek Most people forget that it is beneficial to both sides as you are providing a free/cheap activity for the kids in exchange for service they would need to do anyways.
There are a few options outside BSA also so the troop might know of any local groups.
I remember one of the farms we would camp at we would always do trail work and clean up from the groups that would leave trash behind so the farmer loved having us.
Very nice shaded, activity area, Matt, you are right. Looks great!
theres a lot of instant gratification in those brush cutters... reminds me of being a teenager with a trash find push mower making trails in the woods
That's sorta theraputic like running a chipper or sawmill. Good job getting the cheaper one since you can do most or all of your own repairs. 👍🏻
That’s the only reason I wasn’t afraid to get one
Looking Good 👍 I would spray for ticks i go bad ticks and chiggers this year in my woods 😀 great party spot
You just made life a bit easier for all of the deer around your place👍
A lot of people don't realize just how much goes into clearing a piece of property from native state to useable land. Everything has to be worked over. From brush(undergrowth) to saplings to full blown trees. Thank you for showing everyone what it is like. And to think. We used to do BY HAND, no machines.
That spring makes it easy if you ever want a pond.
Looks good! I always like my river bottoms when I get them mowed up nice.
That’s the next place I’ll probably tackle
Very wise having a perimeter road. That helps keep intruders at bay in making it more difficult for them to come in without the risk of being noticed. Also, if needs be, you can erect surveillance camera equipment and have it monitor that road, whereas without a road, the surveillance equipment has no space to view what is going on (that is the problem that "Outdoors with Erik" faces with his intruders.
Matt the rubber vibration isolator is designed to also accommodate some minor misalignment between the steel couplers. Be weary of the cheap rubber ones stick with Dodge or LoveJoy rubber polymer isolators. Also alignment matters most so check with a straight edge from steel coupler to coupler(12,3,6,and 9 o'clock) and realign retighten/shim shaft supports to align properly I'd try to find a new complete set with quality machined/ balanced steel couplers & isolator. Get a spare quality isolator. Also modify the wear bars before they warp the sides and damage the shaft bearings and blades.
Takes mowing the lawn to a whole new level!
Yes a much more fun level lol
Wow, the place looks so nice now. A true escape form the daily grind.
Looking good!!!! I have an orchard type tractor I run through all my wooden land. It's so rewarding to stop and look around when it's all done!!!
Wow.... that really looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing the video. Have a great day.
Hi, I have been watching your various escapades for ages now and really look forward to your next vids . Always great content in my opinion. Anyway I just thought I'd say hello 👋 viewer from Manchester England UK 🇬🇧. Stay safe.
Hi Phil, Matt seems to tackle things others don't bother with. Have been watching for a few months, and really enjoy his work, and his trucks etc. Also great music he plays. Please keep them coming Matt. Best wishes Phil, Geoff Lewis, Wales. UK.
Looks like heaven on earth to me!
Me too buddy
Wow, it looks so much better. Hard work pays. Have a great day.
all about the right tool for the job ..making it easy there
We have 10.3 acres and I always find it very satisfying when I can get rid of the tangled scrub with my Messy-Frickinson brush cutter attached to our Johnny Deere 4700. Hurts the neck if I was to do as much as you did in the video as our cutter is pto on a 3 point but it works!
Keep at it, looking good.
Love your property looks ace, i think you will definitely get your moneys worth from that cutter even with all the issues you have had!
It is looking fantastic and I bet fun to do. The Point is a pretty piece of woods.
You don't know what lays beneath the forest floor until you remove it's overgrowth and reveal it's beauty.
Yes very hard to tell the lay of the land until it’s cleared!
The video is like riding along on a Brush Hog Roomba! Tough little beast, after modifications!
clearing under brush make those young trees grow stronger not fall over in a strong storm, nice work.
Already's paid for itself I reckon!
looking good. nice place for your house,
Matt, I think it's a great idea being on the front of a bobcat whereas being dragged behind a tractor etc you have to go into the track first, this way you cut the track and can see better what you're getting yourself into or don't want to go into etc... and being on the front of a bobcat you and get into areas that a tractor cannot and the maneuverability is totally easier....
Glad to see even a cheap cutter is holding up. I'm hoping to get something like that next year
Big difference Matt you got beuatiful land Matt GOD BLESS IT !! HAVE A GREAT TIME !-!
Ole mower doing a grand job. All bolts are staying tight I guess? Enjoyed. Mowing sure changes appearance of your place! Nice.
If you're going through Lovejoys that fast, even cheap ones, you definitely need to check to make sure you don't have an alignment issue or maybe that thin top plate is allowing both pump and motor to flex while using it. I recommend taking a the safety guard and mounting your gopro where it can record that area while you do a couple of test passes. That should give you an idea on what's happening.
You may need to strengthen that area, it'll eventually crack around the mounts if that's what it is.
Also, a lesson I learned a long time ago about those is to always leave a slight gap on either side of the rubber spider. If it is in there tight, it wont last long. It has to have room to move. BTDT!
GOOD THE SECOND TIME AROUND, BEEN BINGE WATCHIN THE PROJECTS YOU TAKE ON
Perfect trail maker and Great fun too.
Great job, Matt, and great attitude.
Why thank you!
a few fire rings and picnic tables...that would make a sweet campground.
Looks really there Matt. Keep up there good work..
There ain't nothing that can't be improved on. Just takes the right improver ! You da M an !!
Awesome job Matt, you should be very proud of yourself mate. The preperty is looking really nice from over in Australia brother. Definitely very rewarding to watch. Stay szfe and well buddy, take care. 🤝🍻🤠🇦🇺👍
That reverse brush hog works nice on the skid steer. It handles those small saplings easy . As long as the gear box and motor hold out the rest can be beefed up
Matt
I’m a truck driver and I love what you do and how you do it. When I wear the Diesel Creek hat and shirt I get questions from the other drivers I know. I tell them to check out your channel and see what you think
Some women should take inspiration from this video and appreciate how much nicer it looks when all the wild growing brush is trimmed and shaved down nicely.
Gorgeous property. Your cheap brush cutter is working well.
Thank you!
i always find work like that satisfying
👍 Beautiful, looks like a park.
Looking a lot better that mower does a decent job for sure 👍
Matt I think you need a forestry mulcher. By need I mean would probably be very useful not actually need. But then you could take out some of the slightly larger trees the brush cutter can't but mainly for the dead trees/logs that inevitably fall due to age and storms on property like this. Of course you've probably already thought about this and if you decided you do then I'm sure you'll get one when and if the time is right. Love the jobs you've already done with what you have and can't wait to see how everything turns out for you brother.
Starting to look like a garden right there, trees already grown with sunlight throwing shadows thru their leaves - really beautiful. Neighbourhood party definitely a good idea - no, wait, you would've already had it by now! (And if not, due to COVID or procrastination, then maybe now?) Anyway, who'd da thunk I'd be watchin' a video of some guy mowin' for 20 minutes... OK, true, I do use RUclips shortcut keys (L & R arrows and "J" & "L" keys to skip forwards/backwards 5 secs/10 secs respectively - as handy as an ugga-dugga).
You did a great job it look a better. You have a grant weekend . From the Glendenning family Kitchener Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
There is this big yellow horizontal crane at the water edge I drive past to and from work. It's been rusty and not used for as long as I remember and I lived in this city for my whole. Nature is about to swallow that crane whole, over the years more and more brush grew and not much yellow crane left. There is like a boat shop next door and on the other side has been a very large dirt pile storage but that is all gone now. But no one bother to keep nature in check in between.
Cheap machinery works pretty good after fixing it 👌 👍
HUGE improvement...keep it that way!
So satisfying to see you do this! It does look great. Thanks!
A wooded area with the vegetation tidy and the sun shining through, as you beautiful 👍🏻
That’s an amazing bit of property you have Matt
I could happily watch an hour of this haha. Great work!
Sure looks easier than wrestling a tractor and bush hog through the timber. It is good to have that scrub cleared out and be able to use your land.
great repair ! awesome job on your land , your living my dream , keep this stuff coming , love the property , looks so much better with all that brush gone thanks !
The brush hog seems to be doing a great job with a few minor repairs. I also see some chain saw time in your future !!
Lots of it
Matt, that was probably the best thing you ever did, buying that piece of land! Next to the Autocar!!!
Amen to that!!
Can we see a drone view of the property? Great video!!!.
Coming along very nicely.
I'm happy too! 😁👍
Thank you for this. Looks fantastic!
Weld some thicker steel on those skids - even angle iron will work well. We use to weld it on the tread of the bulldozer. Love watching you use the bush hog. Back in the day, we had to use a hand hook ax to clear brush. It would make or break you using that all day. Nice job, looks like a million dollars now.
Fantastic job on that mowing job. I myself like the looks of that double chain coupler you put on the cutter. But it's what works best for you. you have a blessed day, Sir.
Wish I had land & toys like that.
That made beautiful work of your property..
Great job and very satisfying to watch.
Well that brush cutter certainly saves some time and effort. Hopefully will be paying for it self in a short time. Also looks beautiful that woodland.
The way I see it that little brush hog has already paid for itself. Between the job you did and the work it did around the house.
I think that you found the "Fountain of youth" as its so nice an peaceful. My OCD would drive me nuts till I got all the trash brush knocked down and cleaned up so it was of use and the property was cleared under that canopy. Not many places near somewhere that is close to what you have which is wrong for me to say as I really don't know texas that well but I think desert when dreaming of places to see. I see you work between those small diameter trees that a good unit would chew and "not break the machine" and know that this one too could knock down but would kill it doing it... Makes you want to look for that commercial unit that takes all that it comes up to down so that it starts looking like a field again. Some chick berries would keep the property to where you could grow if you wanted. I know that your not a farmer but oh boy Roy, you could sure fool a lot of people were they to see it. I like all the stuff but this brush cutting is way fun to watch... rooting for you to take this or that down and it would stay down longer. Beautiful property.... I bet getting power out there is something else
It’s gonna be an expensive show to get it back there for sure... one of the only draw backs
If it were me , I'd dam up that creek , nice fishing / swimming / kayaking pond .
Nice job! Looks like you have a nice lot of land to work on....
Looking. Good !!! 👍
less undergrowth means your trees will grow better. looks great i love these time lapse brush clearing vids
You make me realize how much of a wimp I am. I have a 6' LandPride PTO brush cutter (looks almost identical underneath to that one) and hate running over small mesquite saplings due to the clanging and banging it makes (the cutter handles them easily, just a lot of banging) and you are cutting saplings down at twice the thickness... man I'm a wimp.
Oh man if I had a spot like that I'd build me a masonry fireplace/smoke pit back there, set up a tent and a picnic table and spend most of my time back there fishing in the creek for cold ones lol
Bigfoot was pissed because you’re tearing up his stuff!!😁😁😁
Just started watching your channel...can't get enough. Really enjoying all your projects.
Just awesome dude I dont think I've seen that much green before. Stunning.
I’m sad for you, where are you from?
@@DieselCreek London, UK... Its just a concrete jungle lol.
You have a great size property I would love to work there. That is an awesome peace of kit
That ting kicks ass! It just needs hardened blades and it would be invincible...
Replace coupler with a u-joint! 😁
Beautiful.
Great video look forward to seeing your videos thanks for sharing brightens my day
I might have to retract some of my criticism of the ChiCom brush cutter. Once you upgraded it, it looks like it's working pretty well.👍🏻
Looking great Matt
Great Job! Looks Terrific !!! :)
Glad to see you worked out the kinks on your brush cutter, does a lot in a short amount of time.
That’s quite a transformation! That Chinese brush cutter is looking like a good investment! You have some beautiful property. That point would make a great homesite.
Looking really good Matt! Well done! :-)
Thank you!
