Rotary cutting pics

[rattletrap]

Hello everyone!
I just figured I'd share some mowing pics with you all. This is a piece I own that has been growing in for about 10 years or so. I like seeing pics of this kind of activity so feel free to post your pics, and I will have more to add as things progress.

Looks like some slow-going there. I find mowing the pasture to be the most enjoyable of my tractor experiences. Glad I don't have any trees to cut though....

I also enjoy seeing pictures of other's mowing jobs. Thanks for posting.

Very nice, rattletrap! Looks like my pastures when I first got the farm. What cutter do you have?

Here are some new and some repeats.

Yeah, mowing tag alders is tedious work. You have to crawl through them slow and easy. I was whacking through a real thick section that had mostly .5"-1" stems. If you get in a hurry there's alot of snipes left standing and I don't intend on driving through my pass again till next year... way too much tire bait sticking up for my liking. Things went very well till I started gnawing on a clump of 2" stuff. I was doing ok and creeping along making plenty of noise and mulch and then the tail-wheel found a hole. Shear-bolt did it's job at least lol
I wouldn't have done it with a gear drive tractor, or at least not very easily. With the hydro I can creep along so slow that the motor doesn't even labor, other than a 1 second snort once in a while when a clump gets sucked in.
I am cutting with an old I.M.C.O. 5' brush hog. If I'm just mowing tall grass I can't tell it's behind me. I'm saving up some money for a 6' hog with slip-clutch and stump-jumper.
Keep them pics coming!

Nice pics. I love cutting that thick stuff, gives one a sense of accomplishment!

I know the feeling. You can look at the area after you're done and get a smile on your face, knowing you've made a visible improvement.
I also lose track of time easily when whacking brush.... I'll figure on cutting for an hour or so and end up cutting for 3 or 4!

These are some pics of somebody's place I mowed last year, it sure grows fast
It really should be cut more often but they pay by the hour so I cut when they call.
I cut a path backing in so I could get a good pic,I have cut it twice before so I know there are no obstacles in the way, but I always cut with the bucket close to the ground, just in case

That's a great couple of pics. I like how they are both from the same spot. Easy to see the difference. Nice work!

Nothing like fresh mowed grass......pretty. Wish we had something to mow....just brown & dusty.
