Would you try this ?

Would you attempt this with your brush hog (mower)? I can't tell but I hope he's got a slip clutch on that mower. Also looks like a good way to puncture a rear tire going over those fresh cut short stumps.

You would think that he 'd have popped the shear pin during all that.

Tall T · Oct 6, 2014

Yep, real dopey in my opinion.

For the sake of the rubber, he should have backed in with the Hog raised like he did, but stopping when he reached the beginning of his cut, where all the tall stubbs start. Then he should have pulled out, lowered the rig and gone in the same distance again to hack hack off all the stubbs from the first high cut.

Next pass in, same routine.

That's kind of why I assumed he had a slip clutch on it. Too hard to tell though from the video.

Just watched it again. I don't think he had a slip clutch on it. He did bog it down enough so that he had to restart the tractor at about the last minute and a half.

The guy must have a bunch of money to treat his equipment like that. It looks like the only thing he cared about were his ears.

He did have ear protection on. Or maybe he was just a yuppie listening to music.

My husband probably would, he drives over/backs over couple inch trees all the time in the woods with his n and brush hog. hasn't punctured a tire "yet"

He cuts down stuff like that with his brush hog?

I'd be afraid of maybe damaging the tractor or at least twisting the PTO shaft. I hear they're a bear to get out if you have to replace a twisted one.

Yes I would and have. trees around 1" in diameter process though just fine. these fields were full of buckthorn stands and some manitoba maple. I have a walco 66" and when the blades are sharp it chops through the brush with no problems.

Also i've never had a stump puncture my ag tires

I wasn't particularily thinking of PUNCTURES . . . but in my limited experience of backing in over salmon berry stubbs, I freaked out over little chunks and tear flaps on my LUGS.

spun a little on some shale I uncovered too and that took a few pieces too I sure.

Watch the end of this video for something REALLY stupid.
It's part two of "Romping on the Ford Jubilee".
He goes over a new bridge that somebody did a good jub of building, but what this clown doesn't seem to know is that the bridge guys weren't finished yet at one end.

He takes the poor Jubilee down off the end, spouting nonsense, and then in attempting to climbing back up he spins out like crazy on some logs with stubbs of branches sticking up. I'd like to see the tires on his poor Jubilee TOY after that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ1F1UKWkSo

Pull the progress bar button ahead to 11:40 minutes.

He doesn't even have a clue that the bridge isn't finished yet.
the workers will probably be back the next day to see their chewed up logs.

Keep watching, he tries again in reverse and chews away at the tires multiple times.

"Frickin' awesome" all right!!!

So far that is my favorite tractor classic, for ignorant abuse and sheer childish stupidity.

LisaK · Oct 6, 2014

yep if its too big to handle it kills the tractor. Generally the larger trees he'll position between the tire and hood sidepanel and push it down with the axel. Works real well!

Me either. I have 2 cutters, one 3 point 5' and a 6' trailer type that I used behind a bigger tractor. I've cut through buck brush and sumac both with no problems.

Hmmmm...maybe I baby my equipment too much. When the fire dept. notified me that I had to clear brush that had been growing for 30 years ( nothing over 7 feet tall) I worked my butt off with a chain saw and then pulled the stumps with the tractor and a chain.

According to that video and what has been said here I could have used my woods brush cutter.

But, to tell you the truth, I didn't have a stump jumper on the mower then. I do now though.

mbramble · Oct 6, 2014

I have no problem running over 1"+ saplings with my brush cutter. And the stumps are torn to shreds, there's not much left that's sharp enough to puncture tires. That's what those dull blades do.

souNdguy · Oct 8, 2014

1" cuts easilly. heck. if the tractor and mower is big enough 1.5-2" green cuts too!

Ultradog MN · Oct 8, 2014

I see no problem with it. I sometimes do that too - back into a brushy area. Sure beats driving through a lot of brush and scratching the paint on your tractor all up.
