I've been doing some of my yearly bush-hogging on my rough ground and thought I was getting along pretty well,,,,, then this guy showed up with his new rig cutting on one of the power lines that cross me. Kinda showed me up !

Finally got done here yesterday things sure look different. The operator told me the only time he uses the winch is when he gets stuck in a ditch or bad wet area. As far as hills he can climb anything that will not shut the engine down. It has sensors that kill it when on to much of an incline for the oil pump to work. I was surprised to find out that the tires are air only, no fluid or foam. But the machine does weigh 15 tons. It is powered by a Cummins and costs $230,000 .
