    How Farms Work is a RUclips channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    Absolutely great video! When I watched this video my thoughts return to the fire. I live close to the Carr fire in California and had to evacuate my home , I am back now and everything is ok at my place but over a thousand homes and buildings were burnt. Part of the problem was poor forest management. It is great to see you doing the right thing!

      @MatthewHoag77 6 лет назад +1

      This one by far has been the heaviest cutting action. I'm anxious to see what happens when the 4155 goes back. Hopefully, a suitable replacement is found that can do even more foliage destruction as they require.

    Heck of a workout for the Rhino Ag brush mower. That pasture was overdue for the clearing that the mower out performed any expectations again. A far better marketing tool than a fancy advertising campaign done by non farmers. Great upload and more pasture for more cattle.

    You should check to see if Rhino makes a forestry mulcher head for your bobcat. If not look into hiring one for a day or two, they can completely clear your fence lines, overgrown areas with ease.

    I would love to tackle all that brush with the D8 dozer I used to drive, I'd clear the lot and put it all in one big pile for burning. Easy job it would be too.

    • @caseihmagnum279
      @caseihmagnum279 6 лет назад +2

      Robert S a excavator with a hydraulic thumb is much better for clearing jobs it's not as fast but your burn pile won't have all the rocks and dirt mixed in it too which will burning easier

    • @echutch
      @echutch 6 лет назад +1

      Or a 299d2 xhp with a nice mulching head. Less fuel use then an 8 and most excavators, and also you don’t have to burn anything so you don’t pollute as much.

    I have used Rhino equipment before and found them to very durable. Glad to see some things don't change. Question though. Do you have any sort of wood that fire wood people would like? I ask because they might be willing to take some old growth so you can let some new growth grow.

  • @ustinman8446
    @ustinman8446 6 лет назад

    I believe your BobCat 773 is a high flow unit. you need to get a Barrel type forestry mulcher head . You're using 2 pcs of equipment that 1 can do all by itself and it can take down trees. Since you don't own the batwing, see if RinoAg has a forestry mulching head for the BobCat.

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  6 лет назад

      I don't believe so or else we'd have one! We've had this discussion on the farm between us quite a bit!

  • @0xFF48
    @0xFF48 6 лет назад

    I realize this was a semi-sponsored video in that Rhino wanted you to show you using their equipment. But have you considered periodic prescribed burns of the area to clear the brush and smaller trees?

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  6 лет назад

      We’re not too big on setting brush on fire. We sometimes burn piles of dead trees, but they don’t burn well enough to justify it.

  • @MatthewHoag77
    @MatthewHoag77 6 лет назад +1

    I know you guys have been waiting for the chance to do this. The Rhino 4155 really is a beast! You're not just saying it either. How much of a headache was it to fly the drone in amongst the trees and brush? When will the bulldozer come out to finish the job, or should we call Cotontop3?

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  6 лет назад +1

      It's never a headache until it hits one! The bulldozer will come around when the money is free to do so, but that might be awhile.

    • @MatthewHoag77
      @MatthewHoag77 6 лет назад

      All in due time, of course. It'd be interesting to save an overhead shot from Google Earth or the drone of what it looks like now and compare that picture with one taken in five to ten years. I am certain a lot would change.

  • @mikehagan4320
    @mikehagan4320 4 года назад +1

    I have two TW 84 Rhino 3 point rotary cutters. They are of Mediocre quality at best. The gear boxes started leaking shortly after I got them. If you try to snug the bolts. The bolts easily twist off. ( Butter Bolts.) One of the Rhino mowers cut itself in half. The tip of the blade would make dents in the top sheetmetal. And eventually the blade got into the sheetmetal from just under the P.T.O. to not quit 6 o'clock. I don't abuse my equipment, I just use it and maintain it. Rhino makes a low Value rotary cutter. I will not buy another one.

      That mower does have slip clutches...and with a large tractor you can slip them on some heavy stuff...I know because I changed some out yesterday.
