What have you done to your Branson today?

[ptsg]

The main reason for me, is just to avoid having piles of branches everywhere from pruning my dad's orchard and taking the occasional tree down. It's just a mess and looks bad.

In my country, since we have lots of wildfires every year, we have very restrict policies when it takes to burn this stuff. We have a very narrow window in the winter but this stuff is usually too wet to burn anyway.

So I think this is a good solution for the problem with the added bonus of still having some use for what otherwise would be useless wood.

I usually cut everything down till around 3" but depending on the mood, sometimes I go lower than that. Sometimes, for the smaller stuff, I grab a handful of branches and use the splitter to cut it in small pieces but it's kinda slow.

I never liked the way the SMV sign on my Branson 4815C mounted. It protruded beyond the footprint of the tractor. Because it was on the left side, I could not get close to the fence without it hanging. My finish mower discharges to the right. See picture below.

I noticed there is 2 window mounts not being used for anything so I turned them around and made a new bracket for the sign. I had a scrap piece of aluminum diamond plate that was rigid but light weight. I put a Z bend in it to clear the window wiper.

I am happy with the final result! Now I can mow without worrying about hanging that thing all the time. It could not be in a better spot on the window as it doesn't interfere with my vision of things at all! Perfect!

Just finished mowing and it sure was nice to mow close to the fence line without worrying about the sign. I watched it closely and never saw any vibration or it move at all. I think we are good to go! :cool2:

You were the one person I couldn't remember! To myself I call you Kiwi but I didn't say Kiwi on the video because I knew it wasn't right. I realize now I should think of you as K5. Thanks and sorry!

Nice video, nice place that you have.
Lot of work for water in a semi-arid location.
