Brock, the highlight of this video is the time that you spend with your grandson. It reminds me of the time that I spent with mine. When you raise your children with trying to make a living and all the things that are a part of raising your own children time goes by to quickly but you are making memories with your grandson that are timeless. Trust me on this. My #1 grandson is 31 years old and has a wife and two daughters and he still calls me all the time. You are making a legacy that neither you or he will ever forget. God bless you both. You're a good man.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know it goes by so quick. That five-year-old little boy will follow me anywhere which is amazing. He’s been driving the skid loader some today As we build our pond bank up
Pretty impressive! Looks like fun. I can definitely see where the air-conditioned cab comes in handy. It's nice to see you include your grandson in so many things. Great way to bring them up!
Wow Brock that is one check of a trail cutter you got there! And it is awesome you include your young grandson in your videos! Look forward to the time he will be running all your big boy toys. thx, tommy
A few things to consider with a skid steer rotary cutter. When going through trees you can hear the cutter slow down. If you don’t have a relief line back to the machine the motor can blow the seals. The Diamond cutters have solved all my issues with this, the Diamond is rated for 8” and still works great for grass. The mulchers do not cut grass.
Right. I have looked at those diamonds cutters. The Loftness Timber axe is a unique product in the industry as a 30 year old design before mulchers were popular. It mulches and cuts grass. Kind of like a ultra tough flail mower.
@@RockhillfarmYT right, I just cleared 10acres with the Diamond tri blade. Worked great for the 3’ tall grass along with the super annoying 3-4” honey locust trees. FYI. Good choice on the Deere, our bobcat t650 overheats all the time.
@@82ndpara21 I think in summer time 90+ degrees most machines without a auxiliary hydraulic cooler will eventually have problems. Ive used a Cat 279 with no aux cooler and rotary cutter and it would overheat on and off all day in louisiana heat.
You can use the brushcutter to feel the ground in front of you for things like rocks, soft ground and inclines when you're in places its harder to see. Just push the front end down into the ground to see what it's like. Just make sure to go slow and back up frequently when doing that. You can also back up over brush left on the ground with the front end down to get a cleaner cut.
I bought a Diamond Mowers SK Pro mower which is rated to 10” diameter trees. I’ve never tested that claim with anything more than maybe 6”. I think my next purchase would be a disc mulcher mainly because it can do what a drum mulcher can do but at half the price. Nice video!
Buddy, I hope you've noticed that I'm not the kind to Monday morning quarterback you by now. However when you broke through and there was a person standing there I nearly had a stroke. Please God be careful with that kind of stuff. I broke a blade on one of these and it turned into a ten pound bullet that flew about 75 yards. Also, Google satellite view can really help navigate when you get into these big thick properties. Map view will also help define property lines as well.
Way to close a video out Brock!👍. That’s a nice set up. Lookin behind you constantly and backing up on a tractor gets old when brush cutting a lot of area and around trees you want to keep. Been looking at loader mounted options for my tractor, for clean up and tree lines.
I think if you are considering making land clearing a big part of your business the mulching fecon style head is the way to go.IF you are only making it a small portion of the business i think the rotary cutter on the skidloader worked pretty darn good.There's a big financial commitment difference between the two.
Idigit4 on here. There's plenty of videos of him in some seriously thick stuff and how he works the cutter to make cutting it easier. The only advice I can give is always keep the backside of the deck pointed away from the window. I've seen first hand what a chunk of wood will do when it blasts through it.

That looks like a lot of fun just barreling through and bushwacking paths.

How satisfying watching the cutter plow through such thick growth!

Thank you!! This really helps this amateur.
Now I know how Lewis & Clark felt. Seriously, good job trail blazing and clearing that property.
I thought your grandson was going to say "tractor", but skidsteers are pretty cool too!
Nice adder with the grandson wrap up .

I had the same thought though
If I was using a mulched I would have had to switch attachments back and forth for the clearing

I've never ran one on a skid but have been surprised by what a brush hog on a 60 hp tractor will do

I see what you mean about pushing the limits of the brush hog. Suggest a mulcher for the forrest like brush.
Shame on you dragging us in using that so so cute Grandson of yours😁
He is awesome
Thanks for watching

I'd take a battery grinder to restore the edge on the blade every hour or so

Mow/bush hog seems pretty good. Now that its been a year or so how has it held up???
Buy and use a DJI drone for quick reconnaissance. I have the little Spark and do that if I get disoriented.
Nice job Brock. Have you used an open front rotary cutter? Do you think it would’ve done any better? I’m researching both styles now.

How much do you generally charge on a job like this?
Is that standard or high flow?
Looks like it works nice only thing I don't like is the people standing in front of you when you headed in their direction.
What if you hit a big rock?
It sharpens the blade
What brand cutter is that?
It’s got John Deere stickers on it. Sold by my Deere dealership but I don’t know who actually makes it.
Do you have a balistic door on your machine?
Yes
You better make sure you don’t find yourself running into a swamp or some small pond
Dude, I've got one myself. At the risk of sounding "Karen-ish", there should NEVER be people in front of that machine while it's cutting!
